The Inside Story

  

Al Jazeera’s Inside Story analyzes the effects of the Occupy Wall Street movement, it’s causes, and the goals of the movement with OWS media team member Mark Brayer, and independent stock broker Alessio Rastani. Watch this video! If nothing else, this video gives a clear-cut interpretation of the movement, with easy-to-understand language, and two sides of view. Seeing the stock broker, I thought we were in for heated exchange, but I was wrong. Alessio Rastani for the most part agrees with the movement and realizes that big business does in fact control politics, and that things do need to change. Both Mark and Alessio gave great points about the topics handed to them and I think their statements complements each other’s nicely, growing off of each other’s statements. The weirdest thing about this video though has to do with Alessio Rastani’s prediction at the very end.

This video was filmed recently, but just as the worldwide support was showing. At the very end, Alessio Rastani makes his prediction that this will spread throughout the world, to every major city. People will realize the situation and will not be happy. And he says this means they will go after the banks and financial institutions, the governments, the politicians and the lobbyists. He makes it clear that people will want real change and that the entire system of running things may be changed by this. With the worldwide support growing, I found it eerie how his prediction is starting to play out, and anxious to see if it proves to be true.
