Via G+. An obvious Occupy Wall Street recruitment poster has been cleverly planted in Yachts International Magazine as a (flash) ad for a Hargrave mega yacht.
Since I wonder how long the ad will actually last online, here's a screenshot and some copy ...
"We used to sell yachts as luxury items, in todays' world they're really a necessity.
Years ago buying .. the 136' Hargrave "DREAMER" ... was ... a once in a lifetime reward for those of you who made sacrifices ...
... Today things have changed ... successful people have now become the target of every two bit politician from the White House on down ...
... being on the water has become a necessity for today's entrepreneur ... a refuge where they can leave the inanity of today's world ..."
On the water, far away from the peasants.
Diabolically clever OWS. I'd never have figured Hargrave as one of your covert operations.

I saw this ad and at a breakfast joint in Wisconsin and had to tear it out of the magazine so that I can show it to friends. Talk about "Class War," these guys are right out front. Here is the second and third paragraphs in the Hargrave Custom Yachts ad:
"Today things have changed and successful people have now become the target of every two-bit politician from the White House on down, tolerated by most on the right and vilified by most on the left. It almost seems like when they are not discussing ways to take away your personal assets they are drafting some piece of legislation that will shut down your business."
"Maybe that's why being on the water has become almost a necessity for today's entrepreneur, providing a refuge where they can leave the insanity of today's world behind to focus instead on finding creative solutions that will power their company into the future."
