Anti-corporatists to 'occupy Wall Street' for 'Tahrir moment' - The Daily Caller 
#OWS makes the news at The Daily Caller, a conservative media outlet, equivalent to The Huffington Post.
The protesters claim corporate influence has corrupted the country, and that their occupation of Wall Street and smaller demonstrations in other financial centers on Sept. 17 will get the message out.
“[O]ur representatives are bought by hard and soft dollars and we’ve created a system essentially, within our institutions, where disloyal, incompetent, and wasteful special interests can basically usurp and have our nation’s civil and military power,” Alexa O’Brian, founder of US Day of Rage, one of the organizing groups, told The Daily Caller.
According to another coordinating group, Occupy Wall Street, the plan is to use the Arab Spring as a model for change.
“When our leaders can no longer be trusted, it becomes the duty of the people to fight for social justice,” Occupy Wall Street explains on its website. “The Arab Spring tactic has proven itself effective in forcing governments to bow to the will of the people. We believe this tactic can also work in America.”

First-time study showing empirical evidence confirming the conventional wisdom that corporations actually do control most of the world’s finances. Left: Interconnecting network of nearly 43,000 corporations (TNCs), with node sizes representing the ‘tier of control’ over others. Right: Zoom in of core. Part of the economic “super-entity” that controls nearly 1/3 of global wealth.
From the scientific paper: In detail, nearly 4/10 of the control over the economic value of TNCs in the world is held, via a complicated web of ownership relations, by a group of 147 TNCs in the core, which has almost full control over itself.
Non-scientific write-up of the paper.
