The Obama-endorsed #Occupy hoodlums promise to use guerilla tactics and assymetrical warfare to push warfare in 2012. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/12/obama-endorsed-occupy-goons-plan-guerilla-tactics-assymetrical-warfare-to-push-revolution-in-2012/)
MSM reported:
Warning to America’s superrich: Think Occupy Wall Street disappeared in winter’s cold? Wrong: The 99% just declared a new aggressive, covert special-ops war strategy to take back our democracy in 2012.
No more peaceful tent encampments in parks. No more Mahatma Gandhi nice-guy stuff. Not enough. Escalation time. Wall Street, the superrich and their Washington lobbyists are tone deaf, blinded by greed, trapped in their post-2008 business-as-usual bubble.
Warning; OWS tells us America’s going to be shocked by not one but hundreds of wake-up calls in 2012.
How? In a recent Washington Post column, OWS leaders say they are accelerating their battle strategy in 2012. In what amounts to a new declaration of war that promises to electrify the 2012 elections, OWS will be using new asymmetrical warfare strategies, write two of the men who have been the driving force behind the movement since early this year: Kalle Lasn, the editor-in-chief of Adbusters magazine, and senior editor Micah White.
Listen to some of the specific guerrilla tactics they warn will be used in their 2012 “American Spring” assault: A “marked escalation of surprise, playful, precision disruptions, rush-hour flash mobs, bank occupations, ‘occupy squads’ and edgy theatrics.” And in a New Yorker magazine interview shortly after New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “military-style operation,” Lasn warned: “this means escalation, pushing us one step closer to a revolution.”
O rly. "Playful ... disruptions"?
They really intend to push us "one step closer to a revolution"? Some of these lunatics are quite capable of open warfare; it's their idiot tools who are going to be shocked and suprised when they reap the fruits of their leaders' "tactics".

The masters and the tools are both bullies, the difference between them is
that the bully tools will either win or lose, the masters will retreat.

Seems the latest craze is the nice warm mall shout downs. You know the malls where they sell all the cheap Chinese stuff the OWS crowd love to buy.
I'm hoping it pushes people out of the malls back to the small mom and pops that have survived. Maybe some good will come from this crap.

I see them escalating to the point the gooberment will call for martial law. Easier for Duh Won to win in 2012.
It has been my thought since the OWS started that this year they would get violent causing obama to declare martial law and suspend the 2012 election, declaring himself "Benevolent Leader". That is when the real violence will begin.

According to Frances Fox Piven: (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/fri-a-m-this-spring-well-see-action-piven-issues-dark-prediction-on-occupy-wall-street/)
The Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble.”
“We’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”
Different forms of protests that will engage many people.
Occupy was helped by “sympathetic” press coverage.
Leftist professor and activist Frances Fox Piven last week predicted the Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble” and will soon be taking action against banks and other institutions.
“It may well be that the Occupy movement is now in its second phase, in the phase where it makes trouble, in the phase where it threatens to shut down institutions,” Piven said. “The Occupy movement has moved into the neighborhoods of our cities, it has moved into the schools….This spring, we’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”
She added, “It is going to be a spring with lots of protests that take different forms and engage lots of people.”
Piven made her comments during a lecture to a group of students at the University of Connecticut last Friday. She touched on the genesis of the Occupy movement, which she said was particularly a result of the financial crisis, which “exposed those in charge of the economy as illegitimate.”
“The people who were sitting on top of the world, the top-tenth of the top 1 percent, were guilty. They were guilty of thievery, of chicanery,” Piven said.
Something tells me her idea and mine of "the top 1 percent" differ.
Much more at the link; this ... person ... has a perverted outlook and opinion on many aspects of the US.
Piven gave her talk as part of a University of Connecticut political science forum. Joseph Gasser, president of the University of Connecticut College Republicans, told The Blaze that while Piven has “every right to voice her collectivist opinions,“ he believes it was ”a mistake“ to give a platform to someone with ”a demonstrable misunderstanding of economics and a vicious contempt for those who have made themselves successful.
Student members from both the College Republicans and the University of Connecticut Young Americans for Liberty attended the event.
“Hosting her sends the message to students, faculty and donors to the university that this is an environment where covetousness, envy and ill will are encouraged at the expense of industriousness, hard work and ingenuity,” Gasser said.
Piven is inciting the OWS and those of college age to chaos and mayhem.

#Occupy Midwest Vandals Deface Historic St. Louis Landmarks & Leave Threats – “Only Blood of Rich Will Stop Occupy”

My pappy always said to be careful what I asked for.
It was good advice.

Yup, some people have wisdom and pass it on. I am guessing a lot of these OWS morons never got good advice or would recognize it if given. Human trash waiting for a broom to sweep them away...
-
This has the potential to be a watershed moment in American history. Before, the domestic enemies of America could only be suspected, occasionally outed when the stars aligned and evidence presented itself. Now, they are proudly self-declaring and shouting it from the rooftops. Speaking of rooftops....

Heh, thinking of aerial bombardment? ::evilbat::

OWS should really, really reconsider this whole "warfare" business. It may fly in Bloomberg Land, but if they bring this crap to the heartland. Well...can I just say "personal arsenals?" machinegun
-
Agreed Predator, it is why they seek the "safe havens" of big cities!
We in "flyover" country like to hang out signs warning the stupid to be stupid somewhere else or pay the price!

http://inthesetimes.com/article/13037/no_vacancies_squatters_move_in (http://inthesetimes.com/article/13037/no_vacancies_squatters_move_in)
After three years of staying in her sister’s living room, Tene Smith decided to move her family into a home that had sat vacant on Chicago’s South Side for more than two years.
Today’s housing movement has yet to approach the pace of its predecessors – historians Richard Boyer and Herbert Morais estimate that in 1932, unemployed workers’ councils moved 77,000 evicted families back into their homes in New York City alone. But buoyed by the support of the Occupy movement, housing rights groups have stepped up their efforts.
Though the mortgage crisis has created political space for a movement to emerge, Rameau says that the ultimate goal is to create more affordable housing and to give communities control over how it is managed. “Our real objective is not to target banks,” he concludes. “Our real objective is to fulfill the human right to housing.”
So with the assistance of the Occupy Movement, people are 'squatting' in foreclosed (vacant) homes, completely rent-free. The idea is that if they stay there long enough (the story mentions a month) without the bank noticing then the bank has to go through eviction proceedings in order to get them out (which could take months or even as long as a year if I recall my statistics).
-
This whole housing issue is a freaking mess and I have mixed feelings about the squatters. While I do not believe they have "a right to housing", provided they don't wreck the houses, it is a better thing that the dwellings are occupied.
The banks don't appear to want to clear their books of these foreclosed properties for various reasons, I'm not sure there's enough of a buying market right now, and there's a glut of new housing, too.
Somebody smarter than I should parse what I just wrote; tell me where I'm wrong (other than the obvious -- that's it is stealing).
-
Everybody seems to have a dog in the bank hunt. I have no good will for
banks either, butt:
Out here it's not nearly as bad as other places; however, prices are
reduced and people aren't buying. The deaf, dumb, and blind understand
things are tight with no relief in sight.
In other words: The bank puts it up for sale but a sale requires a buyer and
potential buyers are not walking through the door. That squatter rule was
written by Demos. Talking to a realtor said: An owner spend over 6 months
and XXX dollars evicting a non paying renter before he could put his property
up for sale. That blows.
-
I wasn't banging on banks, either, didn't mean to give that impression. I did mention the housing non-market.
-
For me Pan, I guess it all comes down to the theft issue. It simply is not their property to squat on. If they made an arrangement with the bank to pay rent and to move when the place actually did sell (and to repair any damages they caused) I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. It would be a win-win for the housing challenged (shelter) and for the bank (rent where no income would be otherwise and great PR).
However, in the article I posted that simply was not the case. The people are being aided in taking over bank-owned properties. Simple theft. Without the rule of law where are we? Playing right into the hands of the anarchist wing of the OWS cretins.
As an aside, the woman in the article specifically said that she had been living with her sister. So she had a roof over her head - she wasn't even homeless.
-
I think squatting on owned property is disgusting, end of story. The next step after turning a blind eye to this is the government mandating that an unoccupied property must be made available to someone who "needs" it. The next step is the government mandating that occupancy must be shared, and single family homes are a symptom of the "1%".
We are either a society where property rights are protected constitutionally, or we are a lawless society.
-
For me Pan, I guess it all comes down to the theft issue. It simply is not their property to squat on.
But....but....theft is socially exceptable now days. ::outrage::
-
IDP has nailed it. You can look at Britain to see where this whole squatting movement goes. I read an article a year ago about a London man who went on a vacation for a few weeks and came back to find his own home "Occupied". And the government sided with the squatters. The man and his family were forced to take up residence elsewhere while they go through the legal battles.
The whole "housing is a human right" nonsense just pisses me right off at its very utterance. Look at all the different specialized skills that go into the construction of a house - architects, landscapers, masons, framers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, painters. Then you have all the specialized skills that go into the production of the materials, tools, and equipment used in the construction of a house. This very quickly becomes like Milton Friedman's Lesson of the Pencil. And the "housing is a human right" argument says to ALL of these people that their time and labor is owed to someone else.

The long-planned revival of the occupy movement is right around the corner, and we already have a new example of the violent rhetoric we’ve come to expect from the ‘mostly peaceful’ group. From where else but Occupy Portland.
If I had a f–king AK right now…
I have a solution dude, let’s go get guns.
In case it wasn’t clear, these threats were directed at the police for preventing the protesters from re-occupying the park, which city officials have wisely closed during overnight hours.
And then there is this little tidbit from the latest edition of Ignite (pdf), the official anarchist newspaper in Denver.
On the night of Feb. 20th in Denver, a “young man” described as white or Hispanic and dressed in “a hoodie with patches” was approached by police swine for alleged “suspicious activity” on 17th and Julian. The youth, evidently not the type to take any sh*t, pulled a pistol, fired a single shot that missed the cop, and fled on foot successfully. No suspect has been apprehended at time of press. The local anarchist community upon learning the news breathed a sigh of relief at the lack of arrests and collectively said “too bad they f–king missed.”

I am seriously considering getting some sort of gas and some sort of RF trigger and then hiding the canister in the main air duct plenum. When I leave for an extended period, I arm the device. If I come home to find my home occupied, a quick RF signal and the house fills with gas - lethal or non lethal. I then don a mask, and remove the bodies. I don't know officer.. looks like they suffocated. Do you think I have a CO leak somewhere? We better get out of here till I find it. Heck, I can probably just rig something that pumps the exhaust from the furnace into the ducts..
I may also take to leaving poisoned bottles in the liquor cabinet. Oh, did you break into my house, find poison and ingest it? Too bad. My invited guests all know to look and make sure it doesn't have the little hash mark on the top...
This happened all of the time during WWII in Europe - people would evacuate and the return to find their home occupied. Where was the deed? In the house of course. Part of your bug out pack should include any deeds to your property - with copies stored in other locations.

LINK (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/five-arrested-suspected-bridge-bombing-plot-near-cleveland-142203758.html)
I'll cut & paste the entire article since it's from Yahoo and who knows how long it'll stay up.
Five arrested in suspected bridge bombing plot near Cleveland
Five people, claiming to be anarchists, have been arrested in Cleveland for trying to blow up a four-lane bridge across the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The public was never in danger from the devices, according to Fox News. The explosive devices were inoperable and controlled by an undercover FBI agent. Charges were against the suspects were filed Tuesday morning in Cleveland.
Douglas Wright, 26, Brandon Baxter, 20, and Anthony Hayne, 35, were arrested Monday and charged with conspiracy and attempted use of explosive material to damage physical property affecting interstate commerce, according to WEWS-NewsNet5 in Cleveland. Two other men, Connor Stevens, 20, and Joshua Stafford, 23, were also arrested, but not charged, the station reported.
The suspects were targeting the state Route 82 bridge that spans the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, according to WEWS. The suspects had considered a series of plots over several months. Among the alternative targets was the Veteran's Memorial Bridge.
The FBI is displaying this map in the room where it will apparently announce the arrests of five people in connection …
The FBI's Cleveland office is displaying a photo of the apparent bridge in question, according to WEWS-NewsNet5 in Cleveland. The state Route 82 bridge is in Brecksville, south of Cleveland.
So I'm putting this article here in the OWS section well, because the article specifically identifies these terrorists as 'anarchists' and we all know from the multitude of reports last year that the OWS 'movement' is in fact, comprised of a large number of anarchists. I have very little doubt that these guys are OWS supporters and I'd bet big bucks that they are indeed, active participants in the OWS 'movement.'
-
Blog superstardom for the internet sleuth who can place any one of these punks at an OWS protest with photographic evidence.
-
So looks to me like OWS has escalated from a minor smelly nuisance to a full blown terrorist group. I wonder when Janet 'Incompetano' will call for investigations into this 'homegrown terrorist organization'? I wonder when Barack 'Insane' Obama will call for calm and a 'new tone'?
I shouldn't hold my breath should I?
Terrorism is only bad if it can somehow be pinned on conservatives (even if it is completely false). But it is A-OK if practiced by leftists even when the proof is incontrovertible.
-
I am totally good with them concentrating their activities in leftist strongholds. Let them stew in their own juices.
-
Heard on the radio some of these clowns had stuff on Facebook pages citing activity with Occupy Cleveland.
See no links to that effect as yet, let's look for 'em.

Over at Breitbart, Dan Riehl says the names of the suspects should be familiar. At least two of them are known as Occupy organizers:
[blockquote]One of the leaders of the Occupy Cleveland movement, Brandon Baxter, is one of those arrested for today’s terrorist plot to bomb a bridge in Cleveland. Occupier Brandon Baxter appears to have gotten the guidance he sought.
[blockquote]OCCUPIED — Occupy Cleveland organizer Brandon Baxter gets some shade in the Occupy Cleveland tent in downtown Cleveland on March 21, 2012. Baxter, one of the few remaining members of Occupy Cleveland’s physical presence downtown, said the group has seen a sharp decline in numbers since last October because of increasing disorganization. “We need guidance,” he said.[/blockquote]
Another of today’s suspects is Anthony Hayne, named previously in a report on Occupy Cleveland.
[blockquote]“I just want to be very clear: we are not occupying Lakewood,” said Anthony Hayne, who is organizing the information session. Hayne, a Lakewood resident since 2001, said there will be about six or seven members of Occupy Cleveland, which stems from the Occupy Wall Street movement, at the table Saturday.[/blockquote]
A Brandon Baxter got mentioned in a March report on an arrest at an Occupy protest in Cleveland, too:
[blockquote]Brandon Baxter of Lakewood said he had no regrets for making sure people heard the message.
“I took the risk of getting arrested because I feel the powers that be, whoever they might be — on all levels of government and those who hold corporate power — are not listening because not enough people are actually taking a stance” against foreclosures, he said. “I was hoping that this would be a great way to get Cleveland more involved by showing the potential that a small group of dedicated people can have in making an impact. Even though we are not in any government position or in Congress, we do have the power.”[/blockquote]

And to think the idiots over at Yahoo are all screaming that they were anarchists and anarchists don't side with either the right or the left so therefore, they can't possibly be part of OWS (Of course they fail to mention that arnarchists are leftists - just on the far left fringe).
Well, there it is as posted by Priest...wonder when CNN will add that to their play list?

Occupy group ushers in May Day with disturbing image threatening violence against…Rebecca Black? (http://hotair.com/archives/2012/05/01/occupy-group-ushers-in-may-day-with-disturbing-image-threatening-violence-against-rebecca-black/)
There is no caption or any direct explanation for the presence of this image on the site linked above (and I’ll update with a screen shot if they take it down). But it requires no explanation: it’s just sick. Using economic grievances as a pretense for rallying for the political overthrow of the United States is contemptible enough, but the individual(s) responsible for this are truly disturbed. Rebecca Black is 14 years old and has absolutely nothing to do with the occupy movement, the election, or any of this.
Just putting this in the thread to chronicle the stories. It is nice to have all of this stuff in one place...good resource.
Anyway, looking at the picture, it appears that the gas mask-clad guy in the background is wielding a baseball bat. It occurs to me that in such a situation, the unknowing target (in this case, Ms. Black) would most likely be killed as a result of a surprise attack by a guy wielding a baseball bat. So though the author of this piece talks about violence being advocated against Ms. Black by OWS, I think a legitimate case can be made that murder is what is being advocated here...not just violence.
-
Well done, BMG.
-
If I were Rebecca Black's parents I would be in the media right now demanding that Eric Holder launch an investigation immediately into the Occupy Movement threats upon my daughter's life.
This is beyond tolerable. No decent human being targets a 14 year old girl. Such a person deserves to be killed without an afterthought. They should at least face justice. And insofar as there are politicians who would stand aside and allow her to be threatened for the sake of their "movement", a public example should be made of them.
-
I knew last September that these people and their "movement" were not going to be a one-off or die out on Wall Street. Their "philosophy" has manifested itself all over the West. We are so fractionalized now, I've no clue what's going to happen when TSHTF.

I couldn't agree with you more Priest. Her parents ought to be screaming like stuck pigs on any media outlet that will air them. I know I would be if I were in their shoes. Not only would I make this all about the terrorism that is OWS, but I'd also be putting Eric Holder and the entire democrat party on trial in the media.

Zombie's at it again, enjoy! (http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/04/29/meet-the-new-farm-same-as-the-old-farm/?singlepage=true)
::thumbsup::
So here's OWS taking over a farm owned by the University of California near its Berkeley Campus. Here's what UC Berkeley had to say about all this:
We take issue with the protesters’ approach to property rights. By their logic they should be able to seize what they want if, in their minds, they have a better idea of how to use it.
Whoa?! The freaking moonbats at Berkeley are whining about OWS now??
Well, little wonder since the farm happened to be a research farm:
The Gill Tract, about the size of a city block, is used by researchers and graduate students in UC’s College of Natural Resources to study biology, crop yields, plant diseases and genetics — often with an eye toward ecologically friendly, sustainable and organic practices.
So whatever research had been underway by the university has now been compromised, etc...not to mention this is the spring growing season so now any research that had been planned is disrupted and who knows how that affects whatever funding they had slated to those new programs, etc. No wonder the university is a bit miffed.
Still, it's their own fault really. How can you complain about the fleas when you've been sleeping with the dog?

The federal probe that resulted last night in the arrest of five purported anarchists for allegedly plotting to bomb an Ohio bridge began last year at an Occupy Wall Street rally in Cleveland that was infiltrated by an informant who was directed to attend the event by his FBI handlers.
Boy, I don't ever recall the FBI having to infiltrate the Tea Party. I remember the democrat party screaming that the Tea Party was a terrorist and racist organization...but the FBI never had to arrest anyone for plotting to blow stuff up. Curious though, I also distinctly remember the democrat party vociferously defending the OWS movement as 'non-violent'.

Hundreds of activists across the U.S. joined the worldwide May Day protests on Tuesday, with Occupy Wall Street members in several cities leading demonstrations and in some cases clashing with police.
Once you read through the article you see some of the numbers they are talking about: 50 in Chicago, 100 in Atlanta - it states that there were about 1,000 nationwide. That seems pretty pitiful to me...

This seems as good a place as any to put this story (http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/01/homeland-security-official-tweets-socialist-applause-happy-may-day/)
A staffer for President Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security is praising the left-wing “May Day” protests. On Tuesday evening, Nate Snyder, the special adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for “Community Partnership and Strategic Engagement,” tweeted “Happy May Day! #solidarity.”
Snyder has had his current Homeland Security post since March 2011, according to his LinkedIn page. He was previously the department’s Deputy White House Liaison. Before joining the Obama administration, Snyder worked for the Service Employees International Union, and for Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
May Day is a day on which socialist party faithful and labor unions have traditionally held massive anti-capitalist protests, and on Tuesday some liberal organizers used the occasion to rekindle the Occupy Wall Street movement’s flames.
After a winter during which the Occupy movement appeared to have died off, organizers are trying to give it new life this spring by holding protests alongside traditional May Day protests.
This week Occupy organizers have been tied to sending letters containing white powder to executives at News Corporation — the parent company of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal — and Citicorp.
There have also been suspicions — despite vehement denials from movement leaders — that Occupy activists were involved in a failed plot to blow up a bridge in Cleveland, Ohio. FBI agents foiled the alleged plot by inserting an informant into the gang, and arrested five suspects on Tuesday.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz did not immediately respond when The Daily Caller asked him if the administration shares Snyder’s support for May Day, nor did two different DHS spokespersons.
Although he is a government official, Snyder qualified his comment — along with all his tweets — by posting at the top of his Twitter account: “Opinions expressed are my own.”
I guess this speaks for itself. Not much I can really add except my disgust for all things democrat and that this administration and the democrat party does indeed support OWS and always has.
It's also interesting to note that we clearly have a terrorist sympathizer working within the Department of Homeland Security...

Indeed. It was completely obvious to even a blind man. Curious that such 'media outlets' as ABC 'news' are still calling these idiots anarchists and can't seem to find the words 'prominent members of the occupy movement' anywhere in their lexicon.

Not to mention this guy
Back in October we reported that Neo-Nazi Jason Todd Ready was patrolling the #Occupy Phoenix camp with AR-15?s. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/horror-neo-nazi-occupy-phoenix-protester-goes-on-shooting-rampage-5-dead/)
This week Jason Todd went on a horrific shooting spree.
Yahoo reported:
Arizona vigilante Jason Todd “J.T.” Ready’s final act might have been his most horrific, say police.
Police have identified the former Marine with ties to neo-Nazi and Minutemen groups as one of the five people killed in a shooting spree in Gilbert, Ariz., a Phoenix suburb on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
It also appears that Ready, who was running for sheriff in Arizona’s Pinal County, killed four people, including a 15-month-old baby girl, her mother, and grandmother, before he turn the gun on himself, reports The (Ariz.) Republic.

couldn't be anything less than totally committed to the preservation and furtherance of our Constitutional values, could he?

In order to recognize the American spirit of loyalty and the sacrifices that so many have made for our Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 85-529 as amended, has designated May 1 of each year as "Loyalty Day." On this day, let us reaffirm our allegiance to the United States of America, our Constitution, and our founding values.
WTF? Mr. Preznident, every day is loyalty day for real Americans
but if you could get it up to show your loyalty just once we'd
appreciate it.

Oh how nice. 1 day to claim symbolic loyalty, to absolve ones self of 364 days of treason.

The Congress that contains members who passed that POS 2700 page bill without reading it? The Congress that retains a member who, when asked about its Constitutionality, replied, "Are you serious?"

In all fairness, "Loyalty Day" has been around a long time, and was essentially a middle America response to May Day as "International Solidarity Day" or whatever the official socialist name is.
It is unfortunately ironic and distasteful to have it subverted by the Communist in Chief, though.

Violence breaks out at Occupy's second attempt on SF Church building
>> http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/violence-breaks-out-at-occupys-second-attempt-on-sf-church-building/ (http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/violence-breaks-out-at-occupys-second-attempt-on-sf-church-building/)
San Francisco, Calif., May 4, 2012 / 01:57 am (CNA).- Bricks and other projectiles were thrown at police and bystanders during the Occupy San Francisco movement's second attempt to take over property owned by the Catholic Church on May 1.
“One of the protesters threw bricks, and some metal objects – like metal bars – down on the crowd gathered there, at the police and others. I think he was aiming at the police,” said George Wesolek, director of communications for the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
“He missed a policeman, who ducked, and it hit one of the Occupy protesters who fell to the ground, was injured, and was bleeding,” Wesolek told CNA on May 3.
Police arrested the suspect, who is expected to be charged with felony aggravated assault. Another man, who threw pipes from a rooftop adjacent to the Church property, remains at large according to the San Francisco Chronicle
-
Throwing objects like that constitutes attempted murder in my book. I think the cops should aim center mass. ::rockets:: $1.00 in ammo is more money saved.

So this photo essay by Zombie focuses on an even further left extreme segment of the Occupy movement. They, in fact, don't even seem to like the Occupy movement but are rather, using it as a springboard for their even more radical agenda. Regardless, the Occupy movement doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that this group would like to kill all of the white members of the occupy movement and so they cohabitate within the same political sphere of influence and even seem to get along quite well. It would only be after Occupy has taken over the world that this other group would then swoop in and kill everyone that was white and enjoy the spoils of their labor.
Looking over some of the pictures I saw a couple interesting signs from the 'mostly' peaceful movement:
'The Molatov Rag' on a pin being worn by some leftist chick and;
'One man with a gun can control 100 without one'.
Fun stuff that...
Also, be sure to surf on through to the decolonization manifesto (http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/05/04/decolonize-oakland-may-day-occupy-rally/) that Zombie has provided for all those people that '...Have Considered Occupation But Found It Is Not Enuf.'.
Anyway, I'll shut up now so you can click the link and bask in the glory that is the Decolonization/Occupy rally in Oakland on May 1st. (http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/05/04/decolonize-oakland-may-day-occupy-rally/)

Two words: Street Sweeper.

If that was the video that I saw the other day...pretty funny. That OWS idiot went down like a sack of wet mice. I'm guessing he might not come back to the protest party for a while.
Also of note: The air really seems to be coming out of the tires on this year's OWS protests. They have the core Marxists there but the crowds that fleshed it out last year just aren't there this time. So they are either too broke to participate or just bored with the whole thing and have moved on to other things. IOW...it's not "in" to be a dirty, filthy OWS hippie this year. Fashion is quite a bitch.
-
There was an article a few days back that gave a few numbers concerning the OWS' big hurrah on 'may day'. (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20120501/D9UG5SMG0.html)
The May Day protest was significantly smaller than last year's, which drew about 1,000 people. Organizers said turnout last year was greater, in part, because the rally was on a Sunday, rather than during the work week.
After you read through the article you see that there were about 1,000 'protesters' nationwide (at least that's the impression I got from it). May day was supposed to be their big continuation from last year, the big party to kick everything off. That doesn't seem like a whole lot to me. So I guess what I'm trying to say Trap, is I think you're observation is pretty accurate.

Wait.

I will be happy to wait.
And I will be surprised if they can re-create what they had last year. People are tired of it. It's been done before. It's old. It's not hip. A lot of people will think back to the last year's miserable experience and decide to go to the beach instead.
We are seeing the same thing play out in the O'Bongo World Re-Election Tour where he is drawing half or less than half of the number of suckers that he did four years ago. The magic is over. It's over with O'Bongo and it's over with OWS.
More than a few people will think to themselves, correctly, "What did we change?" And the answer is "nothing." So there will also be a tendency to believe that nothing will change if they expend their time and energy this summer. So why bother?
Things like this are typically one shot wonders. Woodstock was like that. They were never able to make 1969 happen again.
So the takeaway from this (if it doesn't come together again) is that they screwed up by doing it last year instead of this year.
But...on the bright side...it looks as if the Democrat National Convention in North Carolina might end up being a complete disaster with lots of protests and maybe even a full scale riot. So, don't give up hope.
-
I'm thinking yer OWS hippie, slacker delegate will have been disenheartened, just as you predict. What I'm waiting for is the unions -- SEIU, AFSCME, you name 'em, and the LaRaza/Mecha contingent -- to up the ante.
Yes, the DNC convention will be a mess, but I don't believe that'll be the worst because the summer/fall is the last gasp for putting this particular machine in gear.
If I'm wrong, I'll be glad to be so.
-
I'm not saying that there won't be something. There will be something but it won't be like last year.
Returning to the Woodstock analogy...
If you look at the history of the culture at that time you had the Woodstock "peace and love" hippies in the early part of the summer. All fine and well. The festival went off without any trouble (defined as rapes or murders) and everyone thought that a new era had somehow been ushered in. Except that it hadn't. It was only a few months later at the end of the summer that "Woodstock West" better known as Altamont happened. Like Woodstock, it was also documented on film in the movie "Gimme Shelter." If you seen it (I have) it records the bizarre stabbing death of a doped-to-the-gills hippie by a member of the Hells Angels (who had been hired to provide security at the event). Altamont and Woodstock, separated by only weeks, attended by more or less the same people were vastly different in outcome. The magic was over. The lightning in a bottle of Woodstock could not be recaptured.
Not that Woodstock and OWS are comparable. Woodstock was originally a profit making venture whereas OWS was purely a vehicle for chaos. Woodstock had a product for sale, (mostly) good music and lots of it. OWS has nothing to offer its participants except unending days of misery and abuse, possible jail time for...nothing. But I do believe that the non-repeatability of Woodstock as a phenomenon is a good analogy for the OWS model. I don't believe that it can be repeated. Not successfully. I believe that any effort to force a repeat will end in a very ugly and violent way. Thus, my comparison to Altamont.
So...there may be attempts to make it happen again and they may have some level of participation but I believe it won't be the same. And I further believe that it will will not make for good PR for the O'Bongo forces. And, hey, maybe the DNC in NC will be Altamont. Wouldn't that be something?
-
I'm not saying that there won't be something. There will be something but it won't be like last year.
No, it won't be like last year. The OWSers will be replaced by union thugs and their sympathizers. And the Black smash mobs. It will be worse.

It won't be the same. The organizers won't be looking to recreate OWS, they're on to bigger things. The marxists tried their hand on OWS, found it good, and will be using their talents on a larger, more violent scale. They've learned a great deal from what was fomented in Wisconsin. While the public was focused on that, the union thugs undid Kasich's work in Ohio.

I believe the point is intimidation of the onsite public -- and without widespread reporting, who is going to know such events are choreographed and aren't localized except us news and internet junkies.

I don't know. If they raise the violence to 1968 levels or more, how can the press ignore it? Even the lamestream media knows violence sells.

I believe the point is intimidation of the onsite public -- and without widespread reporting, who is going to know such events are choreographed and aren't localized except us news and internet junkies.
I don't know. If they raise the violence to 1968 levels or more, how can the press ignore it? Even the lamestream media knows violence sells.
Easy. These people are victims, victimized by evil rich republicans, evil rich bankers, evil rich CEO's...it's all been set up by the MFM after decades of demonization....Joseph Goebbels couldn't have devised a better plan to assist their political friends! You got to hand it to the Democrat-Media Complex, they make the so-called Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy look like a bunch of pikers!

Remember how the media rushed to splainaway the LA riots? Sure, it left a bitter taste, but not nearly commensurate with the outrage that should have been directed at the Black community. Instead the outrage was deflected systematically until a narrative took root that justified the Black riots as responding to oppression.
In the end, the Leftist ball was moved forward, and in spite of the negative PR garnered by the violence, Black on White racism gained lightyears worth of mainstream acceptance.
I think Trap's right that they'll bring scorn on themselves and that it'll make for bad politics. But. Don't think that necessarily means they'll fail in their objective.

Indeed. They don't mind taking two steps forward and one step back. Look at the 2010 midterms. They got waxed in the election. But what harm has it really done them? They still achieved their goal of socialized medicine, and that's what it was all about. They'll be able to hang ornaments on that tree for generations.

A new report says Occupy Los Angeles cost taxpayers at least $4.7 million, two-thirds of which was spent policing the protest.
Soooo...when will the OWS leadership get the bill I wonder?
