Just because you claim to know some of them are not goons and thugs you make a generalization that they are not goons and thugs, yet this flies in the face of reality with several criminal complaints being brought up against the participants.

As for the state of the world it was created by the people of the very same mindset as the Occupy Everything Goons. What have the OEG demanded? Free education, cheap housing, jobs which they like, more political clout sounds like entitlement built on the hard work and toils of others who are more productive than these reprobates.

We nned only to look at Greece which since the 1960 has been providing every entitlement they can think of under a series of socialist parties to buy votes. The government created free government jobs where the average Greek only came in to work 3 days a week! 37% of the workforce was public. So now as the entitlements are being rolled back teachers, unions, students are taking to the streets committing arson, vandalism, etc.

Just like the Islamists, the Left is given into due to the always present threat of violence.

The protesters need to be protected by LE personnel from what???? The only people who seem to need protection are not the protesting goons and thugs but ordinary people going about their day to day business on Wall Street. No one is physically attacking these barbarians.

Certainly not. No one has stooped to the level of the thugs and goons of the Occupy Everything movement in confronting them. one the other hand there has been criminal complaints against them brought on by their victims.

I find it funny how some who called the tea party racist, nazi, rich white men are defending this group.

I don' recall any arrests at tea party rallies.

I'm sure those being arrested are doing something illegal in order for the police to get involved.

I'm all for these people protesting as long as they do it within the law.

If they see others breaking the laws they need to self police themselves and get the bad weeds out in order to be taken seriously.

And they shouldn't let and political party side with them, because goverment is part of the problem.

Sources said NYCC has hired about 100 former ACORN-affiliated staff members from other cities – paying some of them $100 a day - to attend and support Occupy Wall Street.

Dozens of New York homeless people recruited from shelters

A hundred? Even if its true - thats nothing. With the volumes of people attending these protests, I think we can safely say that 100 don't count as a key influence or relevant contribution to the numbers.



Dozens! :)

My point in posting the article is to outline the differences in the people associated with the protest. The group varies from ardent patriotic soldiers, out of workers, those generally pissed of at government because of the wall street bailout, those fearful of the state of our economy, and .... as the article indicates, scummy opportunists

From what I have read and seen reported these protestors can NOT clearly state what they specificlly are mad about. Or what they would like done to correct the yet un-named problems.

Many of the actual demonstrators are employed, or students by choice, benifit from stste programs, and could vote if they actually wanted to. I dare say many even belong to or could if they wanted to join unions that are not supporting these demonstartions from anything I have seen to date. A few are clergy (some of which are highly paid), rental denonstartors, and a lot are just bored people with no where else they can afford to go. Some are actually just swept in homeless that are going along for the "ride". What the demonstrators seem to be ignoreing is a goodly number are just oporitunist that are looking to "rob" them one way or another.

Even though we have a clearly defined process to make our government accountable and to write acceptable legislation to the "majority" most are not regularly voteing constituants or truely grass roots lobbyists and few if any would actually work on an investigation to actually prove corruption.

The majority have nothing invested in the demonstrations except to use up paid vacation days or skip class from state subsidized colleges. Many are couch surfers and probably a few are "problem" soldiers that are out disobeying orders to not use their uniform to propagandize and disobeying chain of command that directs them to speak to political issues as private citizens. They are not defending their fellow citiizens or they would not be inciteing police with physical intimidation and curses. That is not leadership but bully tactics.

What I have seen from actually walking through a local protest is a bunch of poorly organized cry baby's that are more interesed in passing around pot, open containers of alcohol, vido they hope to sell, phone numbers, and cups to collect money to make food runs. When they are under the influence enough they want to crawl in the same tents they use to score concert tickets and fornicate or urinate in cups they not so politely pour into the street, on police vehicals, and legitimate business owners door steps. They are rude, block parking, create traffic hazzards jaywalking, disrupt business, and leave a sea of waste in their wake for the already over worked over taxed working class to pay for.

And even after they are given more than adequate time to state their case, get their free media, and protection from those that would steal their possessions or worse they can not go home without trampleing lawns, setting on cars they do not own, and vandelizeing property in any number of ways, and keeping working people from going home to their families and being quiet enough that those who live in urban areas can sleep. Many are only "weekend activists" and would not bother to committ to coming back to create a solution if they were asked.

That they can not organize, or coordinate enough, or just shut the hell up and turn of the earphones long enough to hear where they are being ask to give input it is a collosal waste. They shout and interrupt each other and even argue with each other.

And because they don't clear out according to public ordinances, every other group has to follow, they end up stranded or get stampeed by each other to the point they don't know how to get home and often end up lost, mugged, or seriously injured.

It will be interesting to see how many of these same demonstrators join the ranks of the homeless when their parents and employers kick them to the curb because their cars were towed or vandelized and can't get to work, they have "minor" head injuries, sprains, and bruises that "impair" their work performance (if they are not to hungover to even get there), or they are pregnant or ill from an STD from all the "social interaction" with irresponsible can't think beyond their quasia temper-tantrum behaviors.

More actual injuries come from demonstrator on demonstrator violence than actual tear gas or rubber bullets. Which I admit are miserable but were NOT used as a first resort. Having seen actual demonstrators carrying weapons, collect souvenieers, and lob tear gas bottles, and slingshot rubber bullets into "their own" I have to wonder how they can prove what is police "brutality" and what is "mob" brutality. Some of the injuries I say were suspiciously close to paint ball and skate board injuries.

Anyone who was smart enough to leave after even the second or third bullhorn announcements or watched the mess on their I-Pods where media clearly stated deadlines were not hurt or even harrassed.

Sorry but most of this sounds like rebels without a clue and bored surburbanites who are wanna be revolutionaries from listening to too many UTube videos. Most wouldn't last a week in a REAL job.

Anti-Semitism in the Occupy Wall Street Movement
by Daniel Sayani

For the past three weeks, protestors of various stripes have made their way to New York City’s Financial District as part of the movement known as “Occupy Wall Street,” a self-described “people-powered movement for democracy inspired by the Egyptian Tahrir Square uprisings.” Democratic Party bigwigs such as Al Sharpton, former Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and countless other elected officials have lent their support to the cause, which has also merited the participation of numerous labor unions, and a host of socialist, communist, and other radical leftist political parties and groups, including the International ANSWER Coalition (which has demonstrably provided much support and strategic input to the Islamist and communist forces protesting in Cairo).

In addition, however, the Occupy Wall Street movement has also included a fair deal of anti-Semitic protesters, who rely on classically leftist and communist anti-semitic arguments associating Jews with capitalism, and who are informed by the anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rhetoric espoused by those leftist coalitions fueling the Occupy Wall Street movement.

As the protests enter their fourth week, centered around Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, several videos of participants spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric have surfaced, sparking new concerns about the groups and ideological positions represented at the protests. In addition, there are inexorable ties between the Occupy Wall Street movement and the “Arab Spring” protests threatening geopolitical stability in the Middle East. According to an undercover investigation conducted by National Review columnist Charles C.W. Cooke, protesters — including Danny Cline, who has emerged as a social media figurehead of sorts for the movement on YouTube and other forums — have routinely spewed anti-Israel and anti-Semitic messages. Cline has produced obscenity-laden diatribes against the perceived injustices of capitalism, and in one video, he is seen berating an elderly Jewish counter-protester, calling him a “bum,” mocking the man by asking him if he speaks English, and telling him to “go back to Israel.” Cooke says that Cline also shouted the “n-word” at the gentleman, and has been a fixture of the protests from their inception.

Another investigation discovered that on October 3, a protester described as homeless and out of work screamed to a sizable crowd that “the Jews control Wall Street,” and told counter-protesters to “go back to Israel,” and called them “greedy pigs,” saying that “this is not Israel.” The same protester also alleged that Jews control the media and blamed “Jewish bankers” for the nation’s economic woes.

Anti-Capitalism and Anti-Semitism

While a casual observer might believe that these incidents are mere isolated examples of hate-filled extremists attempting to co-opt an otherwise innocuous movement, an analysis of history and political thought demonstrates that anti-Semitism has always been a core element of anti-capitalist, socialist, and communist ideology. Anti-free market theoreticians have long spewed vitriol against the Jews. Historic examples are such figures such as Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, whose ideas on political authority and economics constitute the basis of the radical agenda which the protesters seek to impose even further on the American people.

Such statist ideologues find themselves at odds with Judaism because unlike statism, Judaism, as a cohesive religious system, focuses on objective truth, earthly tyranny giving way to Divine omnipotence (as evident in the Exodus narrative), individual responsibility, the rule of law, the primacy of the individual and the individual’s dignity (the human person is seen as being created in the image and likeness of God, with religious and moral obligations incumbent upon each individual), charity that encourages ultimate self-sufficiency for its recipients (enshrined in Maimonides‘ Hilkhot Matanot Aniyim 10:1), and encourages hard work and the entrepreneurial spirit. The antinomian, atheistic, and anarchistic tendencies found within classical socialist and communist thought obviously run counter to Judaism’s moral framework and teachings against a progressive/graduated income tax, excessive taxation, public entitlements, state-forced altruism, and income equality. Indeed, historian Jerry Muller has pointed out, in his analysis Capitalism and the Jews, that free-market policies have greatly benefited the Jews, while Benjamin Ginsburg, in his study The Fatal Embrace: Jews and the State, points out that it is authoritarian regimes of any variety (which are inherently anti-free market) which have proven disastrous for Jewish survival.

The protesters identified as espousing classically anti-Semitic tomes are merely perpetuating the socialist belief that Jews are to blame for “social injustice,” an idea that began with Proudhon. Proudhon is best known for being the first self-identified anarchist, and in 1840, he published What is Property? Or, An Inquiry Into the Principle of Right and Government, which inspired Karl Marx, who maintained a years-long correspondence with Proudhon. In it, he asserted that property is theft, and argued for mutualism, where each person is equally doled out some of society’s “means of production,” with trade representing equivalent amounts of labor, and where religious and ethnic identities are eradicated in favor of global revolutionary fervor and “brotherhood.” Proudhon scholar Stewart Edwards notes that Proudhon’s diaries (carnets) reveal his paranoid feelings of hatred against the Jewish people, and in 1847, considered publishing an article which called for the expulsion of the Jews from France, labeled them “the enemy of the human race,” and said that “this race must be sent back to Asia or exterminated.” Later that year, Proudhon’s disciple, Alphonse Toussenel, in his diatribe “Les Juifs, Rois de l’Epoque,” (“The Jews, Kings of the Era”), expanded upon Proudhon’s anti-Semitism, from a broader economic basis.

Karl Marx’s anti-Semitism is ubiquitous and is clearly laid out in his 1844 work Zur Judenfrage (“On the Jewish Question,” alternatively entitled “A World Without Jews.”) In it, Marx (whose parents were Jewish converts to Lutheranism) blames the Jews for income inequality (which communism sees as a grave evil), and sinisterly condemns Judaism as a societal opiate which is a mere reflection of “bourgeoisie” socioeconomic circumstances. Marx accuses Jews of being “capitalist hucksters,” viciously perpetuating a nearly 2000-year long canard of Jewish financial largesse, and articulates a position that was later used as anti-Semitic propaganda by the Nazi regime. Marx’s anti-Semitism falsely sees the modern commercialized world as a Jewish undertaking, and accuses Jews of worshiping the dollar, as the embodiment of capitalism and the representation of all of its purported evils. Scholar Bernard Lewis sees Zur Judenfrage as classically anti-Semitic propaganda, which would later be used by Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels as further anti-capitalistic vitriol against the Jews.

In addition, John Maynard Keynes, whose collectivist advocacy of bailouts, central banking, and massive governmental intervention to “stabilize” output over the business cycle has directed American economic policy in every presidential administration since FDR, was also known for strong biases against the Jews. Keynes, the left’s intellectual hero, infamously stated that “It is not agreeable to see civilization so under the ugly thumbs of its impure Jews who have all the money and the power and brains,” essentially equivalent to what many Occupy Wall Street protesters are spewing. Keynes also advocated segregation, in the same manner as Proudhon and the Nazis.

When understood that the collectivist left’s towering ideologues saw hatred of the Jews as essential to their ideology of global anti-capitalist revolution, it becomes clear that the anti-Semitism observed in the Occupy Wall Street movement has a blatant historical basis in the thought of Proudhon, Marx, and Keynes, the fathers of the anarchism, socialism, and economic collectivism driving these protests.

ACORN Linked To Occupy Wall Street Protest, Says DC Watchdog – by: Jim Kouri

October 6, 2011


A famously corrupt leftist community organization with deep ties to President Barack Obama is largely behind the national movement to “end economic segregation” and social injustice in the United States, according to the blog on a Washington, DC-based watchdog group’s web site, .

Best known as Occupy Wall Street, the rowdy protests have received quite a bit of mainstream media coverage around the world despite the relatively low number of participants. Besides New York, disruptive marches have been held in other major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Chicago and Boston and more are scheduled in the coming days, Judicial Watch’s blogger reported Wednesday.

The protests’ goal is to get major banks to stop preying on the poor and people of color, according to the organizer of a Boston offshoot of an Occupy Wall Street rally.

The event, promoted as Take Back Boston, was organized by dozens of local community groups that claim big banks have a pattern of pushing “bad loans on people of color and the poor.” As a result of the “predatory lending,” foreclosures have skyrocketed in urban communities, the organizers say.

Among the Take Back Boston organizers is a spinoff of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Amid a massive fraud scandal and a series of criminal probes, ACORN supposedly dismantled but the reality is that it simply changed its name. In fact, Judicial Watch recently published a special report about the organization’s transformation into various spinoffs and affiliated groups.

In this particular case, ACORN’s Boston office simply rebranded into New England United 4 Justice. Same questionable group with the same general mission and president, but a different name. Headed by Maude Hurd, the former president of ACORN and ACORN Housing, New England United 4 Justice promotes “social justice” for “low and moderate income families.” The group also seeks to educate the general public about social justice issues and the needs of poor and middle class families.

This sort of rebranding has allowed ACORN to skirt a 2009 congressional ban on federal funding, consequence of its many transgressions. A few months ago a Judicial Watch investigation found the Obama Administration gave an ACORN reincarnation called Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA) a $79,819 grant to “combat housing and lending discrimination.”

“The ACORN-affiliated groups existing today are ACORN in all but name. These groups tend to occupy ACORN’s former offices, are staffed in many cases with former ACORN employees, and remain committed to ACORN’s mission. Overall, Judicial Watch attorneys have documented 17 ACORN-affiliated organizations in the following states/regions: Arizona, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New England, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington,” according to the Judicial Watch investigative report.

DeusImperator, do you for some reason think that a few anti-semitic protesters mean all the protesters are anti-semitic? That wouldn't surprise me, as you're considering all of the protesters goons and thugs.

Red, White and Angry: Communist, Nazi parties endorse ‘Occupy’ protests
By David Martosko

Protestors participating in the Occupy Wall Street protests march towards Wall Street Friday, Oct. 14, 2011, in New York. At least ten people were arrested during the march, which began after protestors heard the news that the owners of Zuccotti Park had withdrawn their request to have the park cleaned by the New York Police Department.

In a move that may redefine the term “strange bedfellows,” the American Nazi Party issued an official endorsement of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement on Sunday afternoon. The announcement put the organization, a self-described “National Socialist” political party, in company with the Socialist Party USA, which explained its own support for the left-wing protesters in a nationwide conference call last Tuesday night, crediting organized labor with the protests’ strength and sophistication to date.

The American Nazi Party is the most politically sophisticated U.S. remnant — but by no means the only one — of white supremacist Adolph Hitler’s murderous 20th century movement, which sought to establish socialism for Aryans, and to subjugate non-Aryans. The party calls Hitler’s Mein Kampf “an ideological blueprint for healthy Aryan survival.”

In its statement on Sunday, the Westland, Mich.-based Nazi party wrote that the Occupy Wall Street protests are “TAYLOR [sic] MADE for National Socialists, as well as WN [White Nationalists] who are serious about DOING SOMETHING.”

“I urgently URGE all of you,” the statement’s unnamed author added, “to TAKE PART and JOIN IN when these protests hit your neck of the woods. Produce some flyers EXPLAINING the ‘JEW BANKER’ influence — DON’T wear anything marking you as an ‘evil racist’ — and GET OUT THERE and SPREAD the WORD!”

While Nazis seem unenthusiastic about visibly linking their flagship organization to the vocal protests that have popped up in dozens of U.S. cities, the same can’t be said of the Communist Party USA.

John Bachtell, an Illinois-based community organizer and Communist Party USA board member, addressed the “Occupy Chicago” protest on Saturday.

“I bring greetings and solidarity from the Communist Party,” Bachtell said to hoots and applause. “We are here, marching side-by-side. We’ll sleep here. We’ll be with this movement ’til the very – ’til we make all the changes that we know we have to make.”

Bachtell also organized the Tuesday evening conference call, with an online call to action that framed the Communist Party’s involvement as one part of a larger movement uniting the “Occupy” protesters with a “Week of Action for Jobs” organized by the AFL-CIO, and with congressional Democrats’ push to pass President Obama’s American Jobs Act.

“While there is a wide range of political and ideological trends,” he wrote, “there is a consensus against corporate greed, getting money out of politics, taxing the rich and putting people before profits.

“A big challenge for the CPUSA and left, progressive movements is to link these demonstrations with the labor led all-people’s coalition and help deepen understanding that the path to progress must be through electoral and political action including defeating Republican Tea Party reaction in 2012.”

Communist Party USA Secretary/Treasurer Roberta Wood moderated the conference call, which she announced halfway through had attracted 88 callers.

“’We are [the] 99 percent.’ What a beautiful idea. It re-draws the fault lines of society,” said Wood, a former executive board member of United Steel Workers Local 65 who has also been labor editor of the People’s Weekly World.

“We as communists are also part of that 99 percent. Our deep involvement in our communities and workplaces and unions and neighborhood organizations [will] strengthen a new national conversation that will no doubt impact the future of our country.”

Southern California Communist Party leader Arturo Cambron also addressed the call, praising “the growing of the occupying community.”

“We’ve been getting a lot of support from an unusual amount of very, very broad forces,” Cambron added. “The movement has gone [on] to get the endorsement of a lot of trade unions, including the Los Angeles Federation of Labor, which is I think one of the most powerful, most progressive labor organizations in the country.”

John Wojcik, labor editor for the People’s World, told the conference call that after a recent Occupy Chicago march, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka “was speaking to law students at the Chicago-Kent Law School just a few blocks away. And they heard him urge support for Occupy Wall Street, and offered them use of union halls [and] other resources. And he was using their language. He said we have an economy, a political process, that isn’t serving ‘the 99 percent.’”

Communist Party USA leader Jim Lane, calling in from Dallas, added that “the Texas AFL-CIO published contact information, urged participation everywhere, and sent their whole staff to the Austin action.”

Muslim Extremists Joining Occupy Wall Street?

It seems that every wacked out group has been jumping on the Occupy Wall Street bandwagon. There are anti-taxes, anti-Wall Street, anti-financial world, anti-capitalism, anti-employer, anti-work, anti-black and anti-Jewish groups all joined together for a supposedly common cause.

There have already been complaints filed concerning anti-Semitic and racial statements and signs used by the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Anti-Defamation League’s national director, Abraham Foxman said, “While we believe that these expressions are not representative of the larger views of the OWS movement, it is still critical for organizers, participants and supporters of these rallies to condemn such bigoted statements clearly and forcefully.”

Now, the organizers of the OWS have extended an invitation to a Muslim group that has ties to Islamic extremists, radicals, anti-Semites and terrorists. The group is part of the Council on American-Islamic Relations – New York. The parent organization located in Washington DC has had former employees and some current employees that have been deported or jailed for terrorist related offenses.

As liberal as Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer from New York is known to be, he has criticized the Council on American-Islamic Relations in the past for their associations with Islamic terrorists.

One of the OWS organizers, Matthew Bralow believes that reaching out to the Muslim community would help diversify the protest movement and make it stronger.

It seems that they don’t care who they invite as long as they can get more people, more numbers and more press coverage. Perhaps they feel that they may one day actually represent the 99% if they add enough different groups and organizations to the protest. However, I for one will never claim to be one of their 99%, nor do I belong to the 1% they are supposedly protesting against. I continue to be part of the 54% of Americans who pay their taxes and disagree with the OWS movement.

Bernardine Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayers of 1960’s Weatherman infamy are both in their late 60’s now. But the past is never past for these two. In one way their 60’s “Days of Rage” militancy has paid off. The current president launched his political career in their living room in 1995. Ayers worked with Obama for 6 years in Chicago under the auspices of the Annenberg Challenge. And now in 2011 Ayers and Dohrn’s dream of overthrowing the system seems within reach.

The Weatherman planned an anti-war “National Action” in 1968 from October 8-11 culminating in what is known as the “Days of Rage” riots in Chicago. They drafted a “resolution” at a meeting in Boulder, Colorado much like our own present “American Autumn” titled “The Elections Don’t Mean S…t-Vote Where the Power Is-Our Power Is In The Streets.”

In a little viewed video of a small conference on March 17, 2011 at the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud Center for American Studies and Research, Dohrn and Ayers held a lecture entitled: "Another World is Possible: Movement-Building in the Age of Obama.”

In the video Ayers and Dohrn demonstrate their hostility towards the Tea Party stating that the grass roots movement consists of white supremacists, religious fundamentalists and mega financial funders from Wall Street. A special guest at the small gathering is noted by the emcee: Rashid Khalidi, the anti-America Israel basher, and best friend of Ayers and Obama. Citing Khalidi’s presence the host boasts that the former will be speaking at another conference.

Rashid Khalidi will be giving a talk tomorrow…it’ll be one of the most interesting talks since 1848.
1848 was a pivotal year for Marxists; it was the year of the Communist Manifesto. Communism and Islam have much in common—totalitarianism. Ayers, Dohrn and Khalidi all helped organize the flotilla last year which attempted to break through Israel’s legal blockade of Gaza. The anti-Israel rhetoric throughout the video is palpable. 6 months later we hear anti-Semitic comments from the OWS protesters. Zombie protestors have more in common with Ayers, Dohrn and Khalidi than mere Marxism. They all share a hatred of the state of Israel. Some of the protestors even ranted on about Jews being Hitler’s Bankers.

The anti-Israel sentiment recalls the infamously suppressed 2003 video of a going away party for Khalidi. In attendance were Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and the Obamas. The LA Times has never released the video for public scrutiny.

Back in April, the Times published a gentle story about the fete. Reporter Peter Wallsten avoided, for example, any mention of the inconvenient fact that the revelers included Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Ayers’s wife and fellow Weatherman terrorist. These self-professed revolutionary Leftists are friendly with both Obama and Khalidi — indeed, researcher Stanley Kurtz has noted that Ayers and Khalidi were “best friends.” (And — small world! — it turns out that the Obamas are extremely close to the Khalidis, who have reportedly babysat the Obama children.)
8 years later, not even a second in militant Marxist radical time, Ayers and Dohrn ostensibly turn on Obama, (their only hope for a fundamental transformation of the United States-mmm?) praise the Arab Spring especially the protests in Tahrir Square, call for “unruly citizenship” and disparage the Tea Party.

At the 1-hour mark of the video, Dohrn answers an audience member’s question on what civil disobedience entails by praising the Madison Wisconsin union sit-in at the State capitol building.

…the protestors in Madison, Wisconsin learned from Tahrir Square you need to occupy the space in order to build a movement…and so they actually occupied the space and they created a counter culture inside this ornate sort of wedding cake kind of capitol building that we have in all of our states…and they built themselves a culture that would allow themselves to clean the space to keep the space clean, to have bathroom facilities to feed people to have healthcare to have public safety, patrol themselves…we actually can do a lot of these things working together.
How utterly prophetic of Dohrn to speak of the Madison protestors “occupying” the space of the capitol; and now we have the manufactured movement of Occupy Wall Street. Her husband Bill supports the movement and posted on his website on October 5, 2011 “the first official, collective statement of the protesters in Zuccotti Park.”

In the most recent development New York’s Mayor Bloomberg has given the protesters in his city carte blanche to occupy a private park indefinitely. The city has already spent millions in police overtime while the organizers have paid nothing for electricity use or permit fees. The leftist groups have friends in very high places who in turn have radical friends determined to bring down the capitalist system.

In California the other day, a protestor calling for a bloody revolution parroted Ayers and Dohrn from their March conference. Ayers talked about the myth of nonviolence fed the people by the ruling class, and brought up Martin Luther King’s march in Chicago in the summer of 1966. Then Dohrn piped in with “Mandela didn’t just pray inside his cell; he waged an armed struggle against the apartheid regime.” The California man spoke this into the microphone for the crowd:

Gandhi today is a tumor that the ruling class is using constantly to mislead us. French Revolution made fundamental transformation. But it was bloody. India, the result of Gandhi, is 600 million people living in maximum poverty. So, ultimately, the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class. Long live revolution! Long live socialism!
Bernardine and Bill are dead serious in their Leninist-Trotskyist-Marxism. The two Weather Underground terrorists’ goals are many: create revolution through civil disobedience, both violent and nonviolent; do away with the two-party system of electoral politics and the Electoral College; to “build a social movement without the parties;” and to destroy the America which the founding fathers created.

Considering the criminality of the protesters I would call them goons and thugs? Did they hand over to the LE personnel the "few" criminals and thugs in their midst or did they just gloss over the "few" criminals and thugs as they are of the same mindset and brothers in ideology?

More to come...
