Occupy the Fed-Dallas! - A Photo Essay

About a week ago, talk show host Alex Jones called for “Occupy the Fed” rallies at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and its branches in Houston and San Antonio in response to the global insurrection against banker occupation. Jones also wanted to point out the true source of the present economic difficulties; this in response to “Occupy Wall Street, ” whose participants voice their displeasure against the symptom of the problem (banker corruption and unaccountability) rather than the cause.

I visited the rally Friday afternoon, October 7, at the Dallas Federal Reserve building at 2200 North Pearl St., Dallas, TX (All photos by Roger Young).

Many passers by showed interest and curiosity:

Some messages were composed on site:

Families were prevalent among the demonstrators:

Even the very young showed their concern about their future….

….and even Johnny Law is approached with the message:



Many lively and thought provoking discussions can be heard among the participants:



Need proof the that the “Federal” Reserve is private?

As late afternoon approaches, the numbers start to swell:



No one states the case against the Fed better than Alex Jones (watch here and here):

As the light starts to disappear and twilight approaches, the message remains on track….

….and the enthusiasm grows.....

…..and the watchers watch closer:

Darkness is imminent, but the protest continues…..

….with sovereign individuals becoming ever more defiant……

…..while looking for that elusive peace:
