That said, I've never bought the line that this is "leaderless." And ever since Jason Wettstein, affiliated/connected with Adbusters, got busted photoshopping an alleged crowd photo, the credibility of the organizers has declined with me.<br /><br />I'm a left-liberal, but skeptical of my own left-liberalism, as well as overarching claims of left-liberalism.<br /><br />And, I've been skeptical of Adbusters in particular since I first saw it nearly 15 years ago.<br /><br />And, I appreciate you following up.<br /><br />That said, I grew up in Gallup, so, when I clicked on your profile, I knew you were either at Mesa Verde or Hovenweep, and figured the former was much more likely.Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532871.post-61675443925075243742011-10-13T23:08:25.652-05:002011-10-13T23:08:25.652-05:00Gadfly,

Yes of course, it is being organized, but I think initially the organization has been pretty loose.<br /><br />I am more suspicious and skeptical of CNBC's reporting and aspersion casting about this mysterious inner circle of people on laptops guarded by security guards than I am about those people and their organizing. <br /><br />Perhaps the security is there to prevent and/or delay any potential disruptions from provocateurs or police raids as the media people live tweet the police crackdown? Maybe nobody answered the CNBC reporters question because they don't like being misrepresented by the MM. Who knows?<br /><br />Yes, I work for Mesa Verde NP, but "Ranger" isn't a title connected to my job description, which is reserved for law enforcement and interpretive rangers.<br /><br />Anyway, I apologize for my drive by comments that did not articulate my reasons for "so what?".Sheldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604847159462215168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532871.post-25229224577405707732011-10-12T23:37:36.803-05:002011-10-12T23:37:36.803-05:00And, you're a ranger at Mesa Verde?And, you're a ranger at Mesa Verde?Gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075757287807731373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532871.post-49549169464499325632011-10-12T23:36:58.602-05:002011-10-12T23:36:58.602-05:00Bottom line: If there's nothing to hide, then ...Bottom line: If there's nothing to hide, then why's it being hidden?<br /><br />If it's being hidden, how do you know it's "spontaneous"?
