Occupy Wall Street
Blogodidact Abolishing Freedom for the 99%
Consider that "Capitalism", was the term which Marx used in order to rename the Free Market with why? Why do you think? Who could possibly stir people up a free people against Freedom? But against money/capital? That s as easy as stirring a pot. Why should you care? Try reading that headline again, but this time try reading it as what it actually means: "SEIU Helps Occupy 'Abolish Freedom' now how's that working out for you?
#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.
Issa questions administration on Occupy D.C. encampment
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) is asking the Obama administration to explain why federal authorities haven't cracked down on the Occupy D.C. protesters camped out in a federal park downtown. In a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, the chairman of the House oversight committee claimed that the encampment appears to violate a ban on "camping" in the park. Issa also notes that the square was also recently refurbished with $400,000 in new grass, light fixtures and other upgrades, paid for with stimulus money.
Occupy, Inc. Attacking Dissent
In Wisconsin the Occupy Movement and the broader struggle for workplace rights has been brutally demonized by conservatives. A phony Occupy Madison website offers an inside look at a growing misinformation campaign aimed attacking dissent in America. Occupy-Madison.com (as opposed to the real website: Occupy-Madison.org) suggests that, among many other things, Occupy Madison s main concerns are rape, violence, and gay porn.
Occupy Wall Street supporters don’t know what they’ve done
Let me pose a question to the #OWS supporters out there: Just what have you done? I ll tell you what you ve done. You ve broken windows at small businesses across the country. You ve lit fires in trashcans on city streets and made the lives of policemen much, much harder. You ve attempted to shut down the Brooklyn Bridge, a lifeline for countless New Yorkers - many poor - that must cross the Hudson River to get to work. You ve pushed a 78-year-old lady down the front steps of a Washington, D.C. building. You ve left half of Oakland in shambles.

#OccupyOakland Teachers Gone Wild
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."
Did The New York Post Instigate An Attack In Zuccotti Park
Recai "Rocky" Iskender woke up in his Zuccotti Park tent yesterday morning to the unpleasant sensation of being kicked in the head. He scrambled out of the tent and onto the sidewalk, where he found a man with wild hair and a deranged look screaming at him. He knocked the man on his back with a left hook.
Giuliani: Obama Owns Occupy Wall Street
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says responsibility for the Occupy Wall Street movement rests squarely on the shoulders of President Obama. "This is a very dangerous movement, and it's ironic it's happening under a president who promised to unify us," Giuliani said. "Barack Obama owns the Occupy Wall Street movement, it would not have happened but for his class warfare."
Unions and #OccupyWallStreet Reveal Their Hidden Agenda A Worldwide Financial Tax If thereÂ’s one thing about the Marxists controlling todayÂ’s unions, it is that they are predictable. If you watch them long enough, the pattern is always the same: Demand the extreme with something attainable in mind as the fallback position.

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.
Bloomberg and Koch Deeply Split Over Blame on Fiscal Ills
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.

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.

Obama’s Re-Election Model Is FDR
President Obama is perfectly capable of resorting to antibusiness demagoguery. In his 2010 State of the Union he berated the Supreme Court for allegedly reversing "a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests-including foreign corporations-to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities."

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."
‘Occupy’ Protests Dump On America
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.

WALL STREET INSIDER: The Obama White House Wants Us Gone. All of Us.
Our latest interview with a longtime Wall Street Insider reveals details of a troubling Obama White House stance against Wall Street executives voicing concern over the now daily violence permeating the Occupy Wall Street movement - and a belief the Obama administration may be actively engaged in helping create that conflict.
Wall Street Journal Blacks Out Occupy Wall Street
The Wall Street Journal is keeping Occupy Wall Street off of its front page. An analysis by blogger numeroteca shows that the New York Times and Washington Post began regular front-page coverage in the second week of the Occupy Wall Street protests, after the movement had gained steam on Twitter. After 141 protesters were arrested at Occupy Boston, the Boston Globe has had daily coverage.
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.

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.

Wall St. Protesters Just Jealous: Herman Cain
In an appearance on CBS Face the Nation, the millionaire and former CEO of Godfather s Pizza restaurants, stood by comments made last week that protests are "anti-American" and suggested that they were coordinated by unions and other organizations to take the focus away from President Obama s failed policies.
Conservative Writer Admits ‘Infiltrating’ 99 Percent Movement To ‘Mock And Undermine’ It
An assistant editor with a right-wing magazine admitted in a column Saturday evening to posing as part of the 99 Percent Movement in D.C. "in order to mock and undermine" it. Patrick Howley, an assistant editor for the American Spectator, was committed enough to his deception to be at the vanguard of a demonstration that saw police firing pepper spray and closing a downtown Washington museum
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.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) Do Not Allow Any Legitimacy For Wall Street Protests, Or It Will Be Like 1960s Again
Speaking with right-wing radio show host Laura Ingraham on Friday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, blasted the media for providing fair coverage to the Occupy Wall Street protests. "They have no sense of purpose other than a basically anti-American tone," he said
Occupiers Depict Decapitation Of Goldman Sachs CEO
A protester carries a picture of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein on a pole during an "Occupy Wall Street" rally in New York's Washington Square October 8, 2011. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg accused anti-Wall Street protesters on Friday of trying to destroy jobs in the city, even as he said he was sympathetic to some of their complaints.
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.
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.
Geithner denies that the White House intends to cap banking industry profits
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday that President Obama does not want to limit profits by banks. Geithner had to field questions from GOP lawmakers in both the House and Senate Thursday, who grilled him on whether a recent comment by the president indicated he believed the government should control how much profit a bank can make.

Ann Coulter: Occupy Wall Street Protesters Are Like Nazis
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.
Occupy Wall Street Activist Slams Fox News Producer In Un-Aired Interview
Well, here is an interview that Fox News filmed, but doesn t want you to see. The segment was shot on Wednesday for Greta van Susteren s show, (though it looks like the same producer from this O Reilly segment questioning Michael Moore s anti-capitalist agenda) though the decision was made to leave it on the cutting room floor. The reason should be obvious pretty quickly.
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.

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.
Relaxed Standards for OWS Violence
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.
Activist Boasts of Communist Leadership in Occupy Movement – Links to Re-election of Obama
While addressing a gathering of the international communist front World Federation of Democratic Youth, in Lisbon Portugal, November 10, 2011, Young Communist League USA organizer Lisa Bergmann, boasted of communist leadership in the US "Occupy" movement and their desire to harness the movement to the re-election campaign of President Barack Obama.
#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.
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.
Occupy’s Phase II: Changing the Subject to Salvage the Scheme
The Occupy losers are delighted; they finally got the footage they think will shift the focus off the almost unbelievable legacy of Occupier violence, sexual assaults and general degeneracy that has been so carefully documented by Big Government. They hope that the visual of the UC Davis police force using pepper spray to stop these mutants from disrupting the campus will re-mobilize the fainthearted liberals who have grown fed up with the Occupiers antics. We conservatives need to ensure that doesn t happen.
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.

News Cameraman Attacked, How Will Media Handle #OWS Cognitive Dissonance
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.

Walsh on Occupy protesters: ‘Spoiled, pampered, unfocused, clueless’
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.
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?
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.

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."
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.
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.
