OCCUPY WALL STREET AIN’T NO TEA PARTY…


Anybody who thinks the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and elsewhere across the country sprang up spontaneously, either hasn't been paying attention, is dumb as a post, is a scum sucking Democrat, or more specifically, is a member of Team Obama 2012. Aided and abetted by all manner of endless gee-whiz coverage from the liberal state-controlled media conglomerate, what the Occupy Wall Street movement actually represents is nothing more than a carefully planned and well executed campaign by left-wing activists to take American politics "to the street." The aim, of all this continuing, and very fawning, coverage is nothing more than an obvious attempt to assign to this “movement,” some level of undeserved credibility. There are continuing attempts being made from within the media, and without, to compare these malcontents to those who comprise the Tea Party. But no such similarities exist. Because the objective for this supposed “movement,” is nothing less than to bring about the end of American democracy and replace it with something that can only be described as a mobocracy, which in itself, makes it about as different from the Tea Party movement as is possible. There are those now choosing to expose this “movement” to a little closer scrutiny, and in the process some interesting connections that coming to the fore. We find there are major left-wing activist groups and labor unions pump money, media and volunteers into the movement and are integrating the street demonstrations with their own programs.



There are any number of Democrats, as well as Democrat supported organizations, desperate to describe this movement as being completely spontaneous and as “grass roots” in nature. MoveOn.org which is just one example, put out a recent email fundraising appeal earlier this week that said "in addition to providing all the support we can to #OccupyWallStreet, at MoveOn we're scrambling to launch a huge campaign to make Wall Street pay. We're organizing mass meetings in hundreds of cities ... And we're helping organize two major national days of protest in November." Grass roots? Spontaneous? No, I don’t think so. Also among those offering up support to this “movement” are any number of unions seeking to reap some political advantage from it, such labor organizations as the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America, United Auto Workers, and the Writers Guild of America, East. Such obvious and politically motivated involvement can be made to very easily contradict the idiotic efforts being made by everyone from “BJ” Clinton to Barry “Almighty” himself. Supporters are only to happy to make the claim that these people have legitimate grievances and are, unlike those described as “Tea Baggers,” taking part in something that is uniquely American. Additionally they repeatedly make the claim that these “protesters” are using tactics that are no different that those used by the Tea Party folks.


A question asked by many since the demonstrators first occupied New York's Zuccotti Park is why is that Mayor Michael “Mr. Mom” Bloomberg has taken such a hands-off approach regarding the whole ridiculous exercise in stupidity. Well, I think the answer to that is pretty obvious. He’s just another Democrat and therefore is willing to take the chance that these people can be used in such a way as to eliminate the Tea Party “effect” and that the dimwit “radicals” involved this “movement” can be harnessed in such a way as to improve Democrat chances of victory in 2012. However, the official explanation for the mayor’s rather lackluster approach to the whole thing is the blatant fabrication that attempts to convince us that Mayor Bloomberg's hands are tied by the fact that the park is privately owned. But there’s a little more to that story too, because, you see, Zuccotti Park is owned by Brookfield Properties, one of the directors of which happens to be Bloomberg's girlfriend, at least according to the Atlantic Wire. Then there is also the fact that Brookfield Properties is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Managers, which has another subsidiary, the Brookfield Renewable Power Co. The latter owns Granite Wind Power Co. in New Hampshire. Granite recently received a $167 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy under Barry “Almighty's” economic stimulus program. And who is it that is among BAM's stockholders, none other than George Soros. My, my it sure is a small world, isn't it!


Helping to prove that this so-called “grassroots movement” has no resemblance to the Tea Party, is the fact that the list of infamous activists involved, either actively or from the sidelines, in the Occupy movement reads like a Who's Who of the Radical American Left. Former Students for a Democratic Society Weather Underground bomber, and very close associate of Barry “Almighty,” Bill Ayers posted the initial statement of the Occupy demonstrators on his blog. Wade Rathke, an ACORN founder and former SDSer, praised the movement and helped organize the Occupy New Orleans demonstrations. Another former ACORN leader, Maude Hurd, is a leader of the Occupy Boston demonstrators, who have been particularly aggressive in confronting local authorities. Then there's Service Employees International Union's (SEIU) Stephen Lerner, a frequent Barry White House visitor and yet another former ACORN leader, who is among the chief Occupy organizers. One of Lerner's favorite tactics is to organize "home visits" by demonstrators at the private residences of targeted corporate executives and government officials. During a conference of left-wing activists earlier this month, Lerner promised to "terrify Washington" with such tactics. We wonder if he discussed any these matters with the community organizer-in-chief during one of those many White House visits. All this and we’re still expected to believe that this group of radical rabble rousers, these anarchists, are all part of a movement that just spontaneously sprung up all on its own with no outside interference. I may have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night.
