Occupy Wall Street: The Communist Movement Reborn
The Freedom Center s new pamphlet, "Occupy Wall Street: The Communist Movement Reborn," written by David Horowitz and John Perazzo, is an invaluable weapon against the radical Left s renewed assault on America. The pamphlet exposes the roots, leaders and hidden agendas of the Occupy Wall Street movement and its poisonous ideology.
American Professors Gather in Tehran for Occupy Wall Street Conference
US Professors Travel To Iran To Discuss Occupy Wall Street Movement
The Occupy Wall Street movement may be losing its spotlight in the United States, but it's gaining attention in Iran, where a handful of American professors recently traveled to attend a conference focusing on the anti-capitalist protests. "The discourse (in Iran) seems to be veering from 'Down with America!' to 'Down with the 1 Percent!'" said Heather Gautney, a self-described "Occupy Wall Street activist" and a sociology professor at Fordham University in New York. "In my view, this is quite a welcome development, and speaks to Iranians' affection for Americans despite all the political conflict."
Surprise! Iran Using Occupy Wall Street Slogans
Documents Reveal DC Mayor Gray, U.S. Conference of Mayors Dramatizing and Inflating Cost of Occupy DC to the District
As the Mayor of the District of Columbia came to the aid of Tea Party favorite Congressman Darrell Issa at his political hearing today designed to demonize the Occupy movement, the PCJF is exposing that the Mayor's office in coordination with the U.S. Conference of Mayors has intentionally sought to inflate the cost of the Occupy movement.
Top Republicans join Occupy movement
The Occupy movement focused the national conversation away from non-stop blabber about deficits, to income inequality and the destructive impact of unregulated capitalism. That was pretty impressive and a major accomplishment on its own. But who knew that their language would be picked up top Republicans?
Top GOP Strategist Admits He’s ‘Scared’ Of Occupy Wall Street Because It’s ‘Having An Impact’
Adam Carolla Talks About Occupy Wall Street Video
Some people have a way of breaking down an issue, laying it out in its simplest, most rudimentary form. Comic and podcaster Adam Carolla did just that recently when he unleashed what many conservatives will hail an acerbic yet painfully accurate debunking of the Occupy movement and its self-ascribed motivations. The nearly ten minute long lampooning of America s new "f-king self-entitled monsters" who "think the world owes them a living" is peppered with very strong language, still, Carolla's observations are worth listening through to the end.
#OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far
The plan was a simple one. The path to Obama s second term requires that enough voters forget that our current economic woes are the fault of a failed President who enjoyed two years of having every single item on his wish-list passed by Congress. And so the idea was to create Occupy in order to give the MSM the cover they desired to spend every single day up until the election talking about greed and income inequality in order to blame both for the stagnant economy.
Why Occupy Wall Street Is No Tea Party
As the Occupy Wall Street movement attempts to establish a firm foothold in American society, veterans of left-wing organizing, including former Obama administration czar Van Jones, are urging this fledgling movement to run candidates for office, following the Tea Party model of transforming a grassroots movement into a powerful electoral force. After all, what good is storming local bank branches and blocking Americans from going to work if you don't send representatives to Congress who share your core values and goals? But the prospect of OWS emerging as a viable political force is a pipe dream, akin to similar aspirations held by OWS's ideological predecessors, the 1960s counterculture.
Rand Paul: ‘The Rich And The Middle Class Are Paying Their Fair Share’
"The top 1 percent, the millionaires in our country, pay on average 29 percent of their income," Paul said. "That's what they pay on average. If the average carpenter who makes $50,000 to $75,000 a year pays between 15 and 18 percent. The top 50 percent of wage earners pay 96 percent of the income tax. The rich and the middle class are paying their fair share."
Newt Gingrich to Occupiers: Take a Bath and Go Get a Job!
At Saturday's GOP presidential forum in Iowa, newly minted frontrunner Newt Gingrich tore into the Occupy Wall Street movement, pointing to it as a symbol of exactly what's wrong with America. "All the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything," he explained. "That is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country, and why you need to reassert something as simple as saying to them, 'Go get a job, right after you take a bath'":
The bizarre history of the OWS counter-protesters
When brothers John and Derek Tabacco showed up at the big Occupy Wall Street protest Thursday holding "Occupy a Desk" and "Get a Job" signs, they claimed they were engaging in an organic counter-protest against dirty hippies who were preventing them from getting to work. The local, national, and even international media promptly picked up their story.
GOPers Cain and Romney rip Occupy Wall Street, analysts debate how movement will affect 2012
Republicans have seen the enemy, and its name is Occupy Wall Street. GOP presidential hopefuls are using unusually harsh rhetoric to criticize the anti-bank movement, which celebrated its two-month anniversary on Thursday with a "National Day of Action" that led to approximately 400 arrests across the country, primarily in New York City.
NRA Radio Smears Occupy Movement With White House Shooting
Wednesday evening, hours before Fox and Friends attempted to smear the Occupy movement by referring to Ortega-Hernandez as the "Occupy shooter," NRA radio host Cam Edwards was using the White House shooting to attack gun control groups. Not surprisingly neither Fox and Friends or Cam and Company had their facts straight.
The Occupiers Get On TV
Hundreds of Occupiers were arrested, some when they tried to block the Brooklyn Bridge: Lots of working New Yorkers pushed back against the arrogant freeloaders who tried to keep them from making a living. It is hard for me to articulate how contemptuous I am of the Occupiers. The idea that Americans are mostly bums, criminals and freeloaders is deeply offensive. But the truth is worse than that: the Occupiers are greedy bums, criminals and freeloaders.

Watch the MSM Ignore #Occupy Moment of Silence in ‘Solidarity’ With Suspected White House Shooter
Currently the MSM is working overtime to make sure no narrative is created from the suspected White House shooter s connection to #OccupyDC. First, those who would leap all over a single sign to smear the entire Tea Party movement kept the White House shooting story quiet. And now those who eagerly spread the Tea Party N-word lie are hiding the possible connection below six paragraphs and a few hundred words.

From the start of the Occupy Freak Street movement the media compared the protests to the tea party. Based on jealousy over the movement that captured the nation prior to the November 2010 elections and since, the media wanted desperately to have protests they could relate to and promote. The tea party certainly was not that, so protecting #OWS has been their mission.

GOP Rep. Broun: ‘Occupy Wall Street’ is ‘Attack upon Freedom’
As Democrats move to embrace the emerging "Occupy Wall Street" rallies popping up around the country, Republicans are starting to push back. On ABC's "Top Line" today, Rep. Paul Broun, a tea party Republican from Georgia, said the protests amount to an "attack upon freedom" - one that he said is now being hijacked by labor unions in attempt to reelect President Obama.
10 Facts on Lobbying Firm Trying to Discredit Occupy Wall Street
According to an exclusive by Up with Chris Hayes on MSNBC on Saturday, November 19, 2011, Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford (CLGC), a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm, authored a memo detailing the rationale and a proposal to smear the Occupy Wall Street movement. The memo was sent to the American Bankers Association (ABA). It s instructive to look additional clients CLGC lobbies for and the relationships the firm has with powerful players in Washington, and that they drafted this memo for the ABA shouldn t preclude that they are approaching other clients with similar requests.

Occupying the Minds of Our Youth
A friend of mine is employed by a public elementary school in Santa Cruz, California. In the teacher's lounge he found some troubling materials stacked on a table dedicated to the California Teachers Association. "Considering Democracy in Occupy Wall Street," was the title of a teaching guide recommended for grades 4-7. The lesson plan was assembled by the Morningstar Center, a leftwing organization that teaches "social responsibility."
The Hard-Left OWS Plan
The hard progressive left in America has been unleashed into the streets by the community organizer in the White House. The current crop of street pawns, the banal cattle of Occupy Wall Street movement, are fed, herded, and coldly led by the professional agitators from ACORN, SEIU, and the Communist Party of America.
Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Christianity
Many believers are being sucked into the social justice ideology because of the one simple fact that cannot be ignored -- the Bible instructs us to feed the hungry and care for the poor and downtrodden. This message is everywhere within the text we hold so dear. Because of this fact, socialists and Marxists have used the Bible (that they largely mock) to bludgeon believers. The argument of Christian charity is inescapable. As a result, some believers have quickly embraced the redistributionist ideology. Others, like me, have sensed a false implication behind the message, which urges us to peel the onion a little further.
The First Amendment DOES NOT Protect #OccupyWallStreet
The good news: the hippies and freaks in Zuccotti Park were finally swept away by law enforcement a few weeks ago. The bad news: they simply took their protests to other places- homeless shelters, other public parks, bridges, and now retailers. That s right, the clean upstanding citizens who are proudly associated with the #OccupyWallStreet movement are now occupying Abercrombie and Fitch, AT&T, Verizon, Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, Dick s Sporting Goods, and a handful of other businesses.

The 99% : The Official List of #OccupyWallStreet’s Supporters, Sponsors and Sympathizers
As each new controversial endorsement has appeared over the last month, OWS supporters have dismissed them one by one as "isolated examples" that don t reflect any overall trend toward extremism. But when viewed in aggregate like this, it becomes much more difficult to dismiss any individual endorsement as an aberration; instead, an undeniable pattern emerges.

Lisa Fithian: #Occupy Organizer, Union Educator – And Israel-Hater
The "Occupy" protests have already shown startlingly brazen and unapologetic displays of antisemitism, and this newly-discovered footage of Fithian, a key driving force behind the protests, may help explain why hatred toward "Zionist bankers" keeps bubbling up to the surface at Occupy demonstrations across the country.

Occupy Wall Street has vindicated the Tea Party
Regardless of one's feelings toward the Tea Party or policies it advocates, Tea Partiers have at least, during their short existence, conducted themselves relatively peacefully and responsibly. Of course, this isn't to suggest critics won't still cry foul whenever a Tea Partier shows up to a public event concealing a firearm, or a Tea Partier displays signs at a rally capable of being interpreted as derogatory. But at least the right to bear arms and freedom of speech, unlike rape, vandalism, and drug usage -- all seen at Occupy Wall Street protests -- are protected under the U.S. Constitution.
Everybody’s been to damn polite about this nonsense
The Occupy movement, whether displaying itself on Wall Street or in the streets of Oakland (which has, with unspeakable cowardice, embraced it) is anything but an exercise of our blessed First Amendment. "Occupy" is nothing but a pack of louts, thieves, and rapists, an unruly mob, fed by Woodstock-era nostalgia and putrid false righteousness. These clowns can do nothing but harm America.

Occupy Wall Street a.k.a. The Spanish Revolution
In observing the Occupy Parks movement on television, in the news, in blogs, youtube videos and email, many have gleaned some idea of the many concerns that are important to the disparate groups littering our taxpayer-maintained greenways. At first glance, the protests may seem only to be the progressive version of a really long sleep-over - but there is a dangerous message to be heard.

Dear Occupy Wall Street …A message from Dave Ramsey
A lot of people on Twitter are saying I totally agree with the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) demands and goals. The only problem is that I have no idea what their demands and goals are. And neither does anyone else. If all you ever do is stomp around, yell and hold up signs protesting a million different things, sure you ll get some attention, but over time, you ll just look foolish. You end up coming across like a three-year-old having a temper tantrum.
Canadian Corporation Behind Efforts to Shut Down Occupy Wall Street Has Ties to Big Oil
Protesters ignore American love of entrepreneurs
The Occupy Wall Street movement is fighting an almost unwinnable battle against the ghost of Steve Jobs. America's love affair with entrepreneurship complicates any attempt to mount an effective European-style war of have-nots against haves. To be successful, the new economic populists must connect their message with the American embrace of those, like Jobs, who become rich by improving our economy and the world. To be wise, the advocates of free markets should worry more about ensuring economic opportunity for all.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says responsibility for the Occupy Wall Street movement rests squarely on the shoulders of President Obama.

"Barack Obama owns the Occupy Wall Street movement, it would not have happened but for his class warfare."

The Conservative’s Guide to the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protests
Protesters set up camp in New York City more than a month ago and have spread to other cities around the country, prompting many Americans to ask: What exactly do they want? The decentralized nature of the protests makes official demands difficult to come by, but the movement has released a number of positions that are fairly representative of the left-wing, anti-capitalist tenor of the protests.

Ann Coulter made some rather surprising analogies on Monday when she compared the Occupy Wall Street movement to Nazism and the French Revolution. Coulter was speaking to Fox Business' Eric Bolling, who seemed to share her less-than-charitable views of the protests, which have gained widespread attention and sparked similar demonstrations in cities across the U.S.

Go Occupy a Shower
Finally, the Bloomberg administration moved in on the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Lower Manhattan. The response this morning has been nothing short of hilarious. The police made it clear what they were doing, told everybody what was happening, and were met with yells and heckles and some resistance. Dozens of arrests ensued, and one thing is for certain, which is that the cops devoutly hoped they could do this with as few arrests as possible, because arresting these protestors is a huge and pointless hassle for them.

We conservatives need to ensure that doesn t happen.

Bill Maher Panel Mocks Occupy Wall Street “Hippies”
One would think that the anti-corporatist ideals of the Occupy Wall Street movement would receive some safe harbor on Real Time with Bill Maher, and one would be correct that their ideology gelled entirely with the audience. But before Alan Grayson passionately stood up as a spokesman for their cause, the panel spent a fair amount of time mocking the group ruthlessly, for their "bongo drums," disorganization, and incoherence.

OWS Supporter Michael Moore Lies on National Television About His Wealth: No I’m Not Worth Millions
Michael Moore says that even though I do well, that I don't associate myself with those who do well, I am devoting my life to those who have less and who have been crapped upon by the system. And that's how I spend my time, my energy, my money on trying to up-end this system that I think is a system of violence, it's a system that's unfair to the average working person of this country.
New York’s Marxist epicenter
It's not an overstatement to describe Zuccotti Park as New York's Marxist epicenter. Flags with the iconic face of the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara are everywhere; the only American flag I saw was hanging upside down. The "occupiers" openly refer to each other as "comrade," and just about every piece of literature on offer (free or for sale) advocated socialism in the Marxist tradition as a cure-all for the inequalities of the American economic system.
Wall St. Protest Isn’t Like Ours, Tea Party Says
At a Republican candidate forum outside Fort Worth last week, a Tea Party activist turned Senate candidate proclaimed the Occupy Wall Street protesters "unemployed, uneducated and uninformed." To which the conservative radio host moderating the panel added, mirthfully, "This is the first occupation many of these people have seen in years."
#OccupyWallStreet Leaders Declare Literal War, Vow Covert Special-Ops, No More Peaceful Approach
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.
Occupy Protests Plagued By Reports Of Sex Attacks, Violent Crime
A rash of reports of sexual assaults at Occupy Wall Street protests across the country has both police and activists raising red flags. Nearly a half-dozen assaults have been reported at Occupy camps, including three at the New York City protests, which have prompted protesters to set up a "women only" tent in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park to provide a safe haven.

Young People Returning Home from Occupy Wall Street Find Struggles, Challenges
Like many young people who volunteered to join the nationwide Occupy movement, Ryan has been having a hard time being back in "the world." "When we were 'in country,' we became used to a certain routine. The free meals served in the camp soup kitchen, the free wi-fi, the rhythmic sounds of the drum circles, and the crackheads who d let you buy food with their EBT cards in exchange for cash for drugs. I'd give them, like, $10 and they d let me buy $40 in food. It was a sweet deal.'

The 1 Percent Criminals: Guess Where Occupy Wall Street Supporters Held a Recent Conference
Those questioning the Occupy Wall Street protesters' slogan that they represent the 99 percent may have just gotten more evidence to support their skepticism. Turns out, three American Occupy Wall Street-supporting professors joined Iranian counterparts at Tehran University last month for an Occupy Wall Street conference. Quoting Iran s Press TV - which refers those opposing the movement the '1 percent criminals' - the Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI) this weekend released a report on the event (video below):
