Former Sachs VP, NY Corporate Crime Lawyer Behind So-Called “Occupy” 99% Declaration Attempt

http://the99truth.blogspot.com/2012/02/former-sachs-vp-ny-corporate-crime.html

A New York Corporation whose board of three members includes a former VP of Goldman Sachs and a White Collar Criminal Defense attorney has decided to hold its own, non-democratic “National General Assembly” in Philadelphia this July.

Recently, Pollok released to the press information regarding the 99% Declaration which touts the accomplishments of his corporation, and their affiliation with the Occupy Movement.

The release fails to mention the following:
-Occupy Wall Street National General Assemblies in multiple cities, with which whom the 99% Declaration originally identified themselves, have firmly negated ANY support for the corporation. Pollock denounced OWS as a stalled movement incapable of success, offending many. He is now comfortably trading on the Occupy name in direct defiance of these groups. http://www.nycga.net/2011/11/01/the-nycga-true-hollywood-story-the-99declaration-group-an-expose/
