Occupy Wall Street (OWS) - Discover the Networks
Occupy Wall Street (OWS) - Discover the Networks
OWS organizers advocate the imposition of a "Robin Hood Tax" (i.e., taking from the "rich" and giving to the "poor") on most goods and services worldwide, with the aim of using its generated revenues to fund social-welfare programs. Such a tax was originally the brainchild of non-governmental organizations based mostly in the United Kingdom. A prominent supporter of the Robin Hood Tax is the economist Jeffrey Sachs, a key member of the George Soros-funded Institute for New Economic Thinking.Who do you know that has the most experience as a "Community Organizer?" Of course, The Community Organizer in Chief. It's obvious he's not good at anything else.
Additional OWS demands include the following: a “guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment”; a $20-per-hour minimum wage; an end to “the fossil fuel economy”; “open borders” so “anyone can travel anywhere to work and live”; $1 trillion in public expenditures for infrastructure; another $1 trillion for “ecological restoration”; “free college education” for all; the forgiveness of “all debt on the entire planet, period”; and the abolition of credit agencies.
Describing itself as a "leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions," OWS says: "The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants."
OWS was a key organizer of the September 17, 2011 “Day of Rage” protest targeting Wall Street, the hub of New York City's financial district. According to the group, the purpose of that event was to express “opposition to the principle that has come to dominate not only our economic lives but our entire lives: profit over and above all else.” Other noteworthy organizers of the September 17 rally, which drew approximately 1,000 participants, included USDayOfRage, NYC General Assembly, Take The Square, Anonymous, and the AdBusters Media Foundation. Indeed, Adbusters editor Kalle Lasn was the major player in getting OWS established and launched.
Another central figure in OWS from its inception was Lisa Fithian, an anarchist describing herself as a career “community organizer” who specializes in “direct action” protests, and who has close ties to labor unions.
According to journalist Aaron Klein, the September 17 protests apparently represented “the culmination” of a campaign by Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN and president of an SEIU local in New Orleans, who in March 2011 had issued a call for “days of rage in ten cities around JP Morgan Chase” -- part of his so-called "anti-banking jihad." Rathke's efforts were supported by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member and radical-left organizer who candidly aims to “destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement”; “bring down the stock market” through a campaign of disruption; “bring down [the] bonuses” of executives in the financial sector; and “interfere with their ability to ... be rich.”

Again, which side are they on? They can't be that stupid.To meet what they thought was a clear and present danger of having one of the most powerful and dangerous Mexican drug cartels conducting commando campaign operations on US soil, the Obama Administration instead opted to try their customary "hope and change" approach.So they called in the Bureau of Land Management of the US Department of the Interior.The Bureau produced 15 signs and erected them along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 in the Vekol Valley area.The billboard-size signs informed travelers that they were entering an "active drug-and human-smuggling area."The signs alerted drivers and passengers that they might encounter "armed criminals" and "smuggling vehicles traveling at high rates of speed."Really, that's the action the Obama Administration took!

Say again, which side is Hussein Obama on?
More signs of the Obama Times.In other words, Muslim Brotherhood-associated individuals are being afforded the opportunity to veto the use of trainers who might actually understand the nature of the danger its operatives and organizations pose to our country. And those who are allowed to train are not permitted to focus their students on the actual threat emanating from a subset of the Muslim community. Rather, they must promote the notion that there are really no indicators in belief or nationality that can help the authorities apply limited security resources in a sensibly prioritized manner.
Some try to excuse this behavior as nothing more than being “sensitive,” “tolerant” or “politically correct.” The danger is that shariah-adherent Muslims regard such conduct as submissive – and, according to their doctrine, they are obliged to redouble their efforts to, as the Koran puts it, make us “feel subdued.” That means more violence, not less.
That prospect becomes all the greater when one adds into the mix the presence of government officials who are themselves tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and/or its shariah doctrine – including in senior positions in the White House, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security. Such individuals are products of, and greatly facilitate, the Brothers’ influence operations and contribute greatly to our failure to date to recognize, let alone counteract, them.
Say again, which side is Hussein Obama on?
