OWS moves into their next phase; “The Robin Hood Tax”

The Occupiers have been organized from the get go.  They have painted a picture of themselves as a disorganized group who just happened to gather together on September 17th, (Constitution Day) to express their multifaceted, disjointed complaints.  “Not so!”, says Erik Erickson of “Red State”.  Well those of us who know that “Occupy  Wall Street” (it’s simply amazing that such a spontaneous movement has put together a print publication a high tech website and serves the Occupier’s  organic, corn fed, “filet mignon” type food???) was originally labeled “Days of Rage”, organized by the SEIU’s Steven Lerner, heartily agree with Mr. Erickson’s belief.

Enjoy these ‘2’ articles from “Red State” and stay on top of what’s really happening, because the mainstream media is not showing you the truth of this movement.  Then ask yourself (and maybe even take the time to ask the MSM); “Why?”

Unions & #OccupyWallStreet Reveal Their Hidden Agenda: A Worldwide Financial Tax

Posted by LaborUnionReport (Diary)

Thursday, November 3rd at 11:00AM EDT

If there’s one thing about the Marxists controlling today’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.

In labor relations, the making of outrageous demands is a classic negotiating tactic at the bargaining table because union negotiators know company negotiators will only agree to what they are willing to based on business economics. In politics, however, the union tactic is an absolute winner because their prey (politicians, many of whom are bought by unions anyway) always fall for it and, besides, it’s only the taxpayers who are stuck with the tab. One thing though, whether at the bargaining table or in politics, unions always reveal their hidden agenda—eventually. Click here to read the full story.


#OccupySetup: Dems Introduce “Steal From The Rich, Give To The Poor” Tax Act

Posted by LaborUnionReport (Diary)

Friday, November 4th at 12:15AM EDT

Let’s put this into some context, shall we? For nearly two months, America has watch the violence-laden, union-sponsored, carnival-like freak show of the #OccupyWallSt movement push its Neo-Communist agenda. Then, the day that union boss Richard Trumka heads over to Cannes, an #OccupyWallSt-union brigade of protesters expose the movement’s hidden agenda by announcing they will be taking their angry protests outside the Treasury Department to demand the so-called “Robin Hood Tax,” Democrats in the House and Senate introduce a bill to pass said tax:

This week, a bill was introduced that would impose a new tax on certain trading transactions in financial markets. The tax – which is aimed at the wealthy – is already being called the “Robin Hood Tax” and is part of H.R. 3313, sponsored by Rep. Peter A. DeFazio (D-OR). Twelve co-sponsors in the House have signed onto the bill so far: Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR); Rep. Bruce Braley (D-IA); Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI); Rep. Donna F. Edwards (D-MD); Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA); Rep. Maurice D. Hinchey (D-NY); Rep. Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hi); Rep. Henry C. “Hank” Johnson, Jr. (D-GA); Rep. John P. Sarbanes (D-MD); Rep. Louise McIntosh Slaughter (D-NY); Rep. Betty Sutton (D-OH) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT). Nope, those Ds aren’t typos. All of the sponsors of the bill are Democrats.


And, of course, there’s this:

This idea invoking the name of Robin has been around for awhile… October 29th is the eve of the G20 Leaders Summit in France. #Occupy originator Adbusters wants its followers to “rise up and demand that our G20 leaders immediately impose a 1 percent ROBIN HOOD tax on all financial transactions and currency trades.”

Who’s behind the curtain of OWS? Meet Lisa Fithian!

Everyday, if take the time to look and research, there is more evidence of the massive amount of planning that has been done to create “Occupy Wall Street” and all of the other “Occupy Protests”.  Lisa Fithian is described as a professional organizer for anti-globalist, anarchists, unions, etc.  The end game for “Sustainable Development”, the “Sustainablists”, is globalism.  Someone should ask Lisa Fithian, why she is either just another of the useful idiots to promote a global push for global-socialism, or she is lying to her supporters as is written in the Saul Alinsky modeling of “Rules for Radicals”.  We all know that there is no greed or corruption in Socialist/Communist/Marxist regimes, right?

Outlining his strategy in organizing, Alinsky writes:

There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevski said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system, among not only the middle class but the 40 per cent of American families – more than seventy million people – whose income range from $5,000 to $10,000 a year [in 1971]. They cannot be dismissed by labeling them blue collar or hard hat. They will not continue to be relatively passive and slightly challenging. If we fail to communicate with them, if we don't encourage them to form alliances with us, they will move to the right. Maybe they will anyway, but let's not let it happen by default.[2]

For Alinsky, organizing is the process of highlighting whatever he believed to be wrong and convincing people they can actually do something about it. The two are linked. If people feel they don’t have the power to change a situation, they stop thinking about it.

According to Alinsky, the organizer — especially a paid organizer from outside — must first overcome suspicion and establish credibility. Next the organizer must begin the task of agitating: rubbing resentments, fanning hostilities, and searching out controversy. This is necessary to get people to participate. An organizer has to attack apathy and disturb the prevailing patterns of complacent community life where people have simply come to accept a situation. Alinsky would say, "The first step in community organization is community disorganization."

History has proven that top down governments are always corrupt and hold “little” regard for human rights.  The only system that has ever come close to that is the “Capitalist” system.

OWS~Grassroots or Preconceived?

There are some true guardians of the U.S. Constitution who dare to explore and shed light on what’s really happening within organizations who’s goal is the collapse of the United States of America and the destruction of the U.S. Constitution.

This group has done their work and turned it over to Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government for the public to get out of the spin zone of the mainstream media.Sus Devp (small)

The Email Archive of the #OccupyWallStreet Movement: Anarchists, Socialists, Unions, Democrats and Their Plans

by Thomas Ryan

[Editors' Note - Crowdsourcing: At the end of this post, you will find links to download the#OccupyWallStreet email archive described earlier today by Andrew Breitbart. Send your thoughts, observations, and findings to feedback@breitbart.com, or post them in the comment section.]

On August 10, 2011, the hacker group “Anonymous” announced that it would join the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. That’s what sparked my interest in monitoring #OccupyWallStreet.

I reached out to a colleague and asked if he would be interested in studying the protest with me. At first, it seemed disorganized, and we believed it would only be a few hundred protestors.

As we engaged in monitoring its growth, we recruited other people to help us begin the collection of data available via social media. We began mapping out key players, and monitored Anonymous’s efforts to organize protests in the San Francisco Bay area public transportation system (#opBART) in order to detect patterns and key influencers.

Then, at the end of August, we were alerted by a fellow researcher that information about USDoR (U.S. Day of Rage, to which Occupy Wall Street is connected) had been posted on Shamuk and Al-Jahad, two Al-Qaeda recruitment sites. We began to take the “Occupy” protest more seriously, and dedicated more time to research and monitoring.  Click here for the full story.


This portion of my post comes from the same article and includes the links for the brave and knowledgeable to explore the muckety interconnections of the Occupy Wall Street organizers. To combat their actions “We the People” need to know the whole story, not just what the mainstream media is giving us. YiT~Shelly

After attending these meetings and socializing with those present, several of our team members were added to all the mailing lists of the “Occupy” group. That is how we created the email archive that we are sharing with you (see below). In addition to the involvement of socialists, anarchists, and other radicals, the emails also reveal heavy union involvement from the beginning of the “Occupy” movement, as well as discussion about the role of the Democratic Party, and how the movement should respond to President Barack Obama.

The emails also reveal that the Occupation attempted to provoke the New York Police Department prior to some of the clashes that occurred with activists.

Additionally, the emails reveal the many failed efforts of the hacker collective Anonymous. If those efforts had succeeded, they may have damaged the global economy.

Some examples are:

We are sharing the email archive because we believe the public needs to know the hidden agendas behind the Occupation–the socialist, anarchist, and other agendas that have not been reported in the mainstream media.

Pigs at the Trough

Some people have started to call “Occupy Wall Street” the “Flea Party”.  In my opinion they are the epitome of “Pigs at the Trough”!

Please accept my apology for the offensive picture(s), but words cannot describe what these picture(s) show that our Country will look like as this behavior is encouraged through the mainstream media, by the DCCC, SEIU, AFL-CIO, SocialistWorker.org, Communist Party USA, President Barack Obama, Vice President Biden, Congresswoman Pelosi and what used to be proud and moral leaders of a proud and moral Country.Sus Devp (small)

Days of Rage - grassroots or astro-turf?

Back in February of 2011, on the Glenn Beck Show, Mr. Beck revealed a video taped session from SEIU’s former leader, Steven Lerner.  In this video Mr. Lerner speaks about the beginning of an organized event to be called the “Days of Rage”.  The event was to begin on September 17th, 2011 (Constitution Day) on the streets of Manhattan, New York, known as “Wall Street”.  This action comes directly from the manifesto; “The Coming Insurrection”.

There has been a lot of local and national news blips with cutesy video of the protestors.  Their video pretty much focuses on the un-intelligible rants of an uninformed band of parrots.

The video I’ve posted below shows a great difference in the level of protestors who are gathering in Washington, D.C., but they are no better informed than the protestors in New York.  The difference is that they are not showing drugged-out children, from the flower children, of the 60’s generation.  They are college educated youth, on their way to be the “leaders” of tomorrow.  The college educated class that are graduating from our schools of higher learning are prime examples of the re-wiring that has been done to our youth.  Listen to their words and realize that this is a prime example of the how our public Universities, a majority of our private Universities, our public Schools and again a majority of our private Schools have turned away from teaching the true meaning of the Founders fight for our U.S. Constitution, free markets and the rights to our private property.

The schools are dependent on public funding from the federal and state governments.  This funding comes with many strings attached and some of those strings are tied to A21/Sustainable Development policy.  The stated goals for Sustainable Development is to change education of the youth towards a “global” understanding that the United States unjustly has accumulated too much wealth in proportion to the rest of the world.  They fail to mention that it is due to the U.S. Constitution, State Constitutions and Local Charters, that citizen’s of the United States have the rights to their property, and this is the key to our ability to create wealth.  As the government taxes and regulates these rights and protections away, our private wealth is seriously eroded, which is the major factor to our current economic malaise.Sus Devp (small)

Dear Mr. Hoffa…

One last post for tonight.  Sarah Palin has put into her own words a rebuttal to Jimmy Hoffa Jr’s attack against “We the People”.  So, Mr. Hoffa, how is it that Nafta, Gatt and the WTO were all passed under Democrat President’s?  How is it, Mr. Hoffa, that the jobs you profess to love have all been regulated out of existence for our beloved United States?  I think that you, Mr. Hoffa, are either a well paid crook or just plain stupid.

Welcome, Union Brothers and Sisters

by Sarah Palin on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 2:50am

In my speech on Saturday in Iowa, I said: “Between bailouts for Wall Street cronies and stimulus projects for union bosses’ security and ‘green energy’ giveaways, [Barack Obama] took care of his friends. And now they’re on course to raise a billion dollars for his re-election bid so that they can do it all over again.” This was shamefully on display yesterday at President Obama’s taxpayer-funded campaign rally in Detroit. In introducing the President, Teamsters President James Hoffa represented precisely what I was talking about as he declared war on concerned independent Americans and on the freshman members we sent to Congress last November by saying, “Let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out!”

What I say now, I say as a proud former union member and the wife, daughter, and sister of union members. So, as a former card-carrying IBEW sister married to a proud former Laborers, IBEW, and later USW member, please hear me out. What I have to say is for the hard working, patriotic, selfless union brothers and sisters in Michigan and throughout our country: Please don’t be taken in by union bosses’ thuggery like Jim Hoffa represented yesterday. Union bosses like this do not have your best interests at heart. What they care about is their own power and re-electing their friend Barack Obama so he will take care of them to the detriment of everyone else.

The Right Thing or the Act of Tyrants?


On June 9, 2011, President Barack Obama passed by executive order the “White House Rural Council to Strengthen Rural Communities”.  This order gives access to federal money to pay NGO’s to go out into our rural communities and create zones of acceptance into this alliance which is directly tied to ICLEI (Bellingham/Whatcom County have already signed onto ICLEI, given grant money and written into our City and County Charters language that supports ICLEI) Solar Farmand Agenda 21.  Through grants that have federal strings attached they hope to gain acceptance of the “green zone” into the bread baskets of our nation“He who controls the food, controls the people!”, as quoted by Thomas Jefferson.  I can see the wind and solar farms dotting the nation of what once was the bread basket, soon to be a dead and barren zone.

Is this the right thing to do? Educate yourself and spread the word  to your friends, family and especially to the millions of rural farmers and property owners, that these warm and fuzzy “green zones” are similar in nature to the multitude of “neighborhood associations” that have sprung up in most urban areas.  The purpose of these associations is that you essentially give up a good portion of your property rights, with the promise that this will protect your neighborhood.  What it also does is it gives unelected people taxing authority over your property to cover their costs of writing up regulations which can/will impede your ability to do with your property what has been zoned legal for you to do.  These rural community councils are not elected, they are appointed by political leaders who have bought into the need to develop “green zones”.  As stated in the American Thinker article: October 28, 2009; UN Agenda 21 - Coming to a Neighborhood near You; By Scott Strzelczyk and Richard Rothschild, these types of actions make for strange bedfellows.  If you don’t already know how Agenda 21, ICLEI, LGS, Neighborhood Associations and now Rural Council’s plan to disrupt your rights as owners of private property, please click here and pay close attention to this video.

The video’s below cover the executive order signed by POTUS on June 9, 2011, Michelle Obama’s endorsement that POTUS is doing what he see’s as the long term goal of what’s right (energy prices will necessarily soar) for America, Van Jones kick-off campaign for President Obama’s slogan “Rebuild the Dream” (from the former Green Czar), and the head of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumpka, pledging 12 million Union Members to the “Rebuild the Dream” campaign.  Since Spain lost more jobs than they gained after they implemented their “green economy”, I find it hard to believe that today’s American Union members cant’ see the forest beyond the trees here.  What I mean by that is, Mr. Trumpka is selling bup-kiss to the Union membership with his pledge to endorse the “greening of the American economy”.

Please watch the videos and decide; “Is this is the “right’ thing for America?”

Answer Coalition Advocates Violence to Push Progressive Agenda

Go to PSLweb.org and find out for yourself if this video doesn’t tell you what’s coming to your community, soon.  There appears to be a very transparent and co-ordinated effort to bring the U.S. Constitution to it’s knees.  Is our local FBI on top of this?  Is the DOJ pursuing action against this call for domestic terrorism?  With the recent revelation that Stephen Lerner was in a closed door meeting with Frances Fox Piven, advocating for exactly this, and now you have this group meeting to fan the flames of just such an outbreak of violence…where are those we pay to protect society from treason against our U.S. Constitution?  Are they asleep at the wheel like the Air Traffic Controller was?  Just asking a question and trust you will too!

Washington State Unions Plan Week of Protests for No Wage or Benefit Cuts

Not all Union members are happy that their precious union dues are spent this way. How else do you think I received this email being shared among the local unions?

For some insane reason the Unions don’t understand how the financial and benefit packages that they procured during ‘collective bargaining’ is one large part of what’s destroying the private sector. Wake up! If there’s not a growing private sector and private sector jobs, there is no money to pay for public services.
Legacy and benefit plans are unsustainable for the obvious reason that they are not only ‘too’ generous, but also because the public sector has grown faster than the private sector and has not adjusted itself in the tough times as the private sector does. The private sector adjusts itself naturally due to market forces. The public sector does not adjust itself naturally due to the choke hold they have on the public coffers. Politicians who were more concerned about getting public union dollars for their elections, than looking out for the best interest of all the tax paying citizen’s they represent, have sold both sides a lemon.


So, Washington State Unions, protest all you want…that does not change the truth.

This is a copy of the information being emailed to local Washington State Public Employees

My Friends, it's time to take a stand!

As the budget shortfall continues to grow, so do the attacks on public employees and Washington families. Legislators are scapegoating workers while giving away billions in tax breaks to out of state corporations.

Did you know state Senator Zarelli is fighting to reject your contract because he thinks the 3% pay cut you agreed to isn't enough (SB 5870)? Or that he wants to create a PERS 4 retirement system that will eliminate your guarantee pension (SB 5908)?

It doesn't matter that your sacrifices will save the state more than $330 million or that you've sacrificed more than $1.5 billion in the past 2 years. It doesn't matter that these bills won't save the state money and that they'll actually hurt our recovering economy.

They want to bust the Unions.

It's time to take a stand in Olympia! Join me and the thousands of other union members from across the state on Friday, April 8. [learn more here]

Let's send a message to law makers that the workers didn't cause this budget crisis and they can't solve the problem on our backs.

Buses are filling up fast! Please email me back and let me know what bus you're planning to ride or if you're planning to get here on your own.

It's going to be historic!

WA State Union RallyApril 8 Lobby Day and Rally

Rally at the Capitol steps at noon on April 8 to demand that legislators put people first when seeking solutions to the budget crisis.
Washington state's economy has been brought to its knees over the past several years - not by working men and women, but by Wall Street bankers who created the worst economic crisis in our country since the 1930's. Many ordinary working-class people have already paid the price in lost jobs, homes, services and hope.
People are looking for real solutions. We don't need more cuts to working families. We need legislators to recognize that public servants and middle-class workers have already made deep sacrifices to help fix the economy.
The legislature gave away $3 billion in tax breaks in the past 10 years. We need legislators to close tax loopholes and protect the safety net.

On April 8th - come to Olympia and stand in solidarity to demand that legislators protect the middle class and find real solutions to the budget deficit.


Follow this link to their website and go to all of the bills that they are asking their membership to support and oppose.  Then ask yourself, does this organization care about our State or our Country?  Click here to the WFSE site.

More SEIU Collusion to Disrupt the U.S. Economy with the help of the Communist Party USA?

Coming soon to a Union/Democrat/Communist Protest near You!  Don’t get me wrong, but with the information released from The Blaze, these organizations have been exposed as to their long term goal.  I find this blatant and public plan to destroy the U.S. Economy, and a Justice Department more concerned with some silver coins minted out of the U.S. Treasuries authority, of great concern for those of us who treasure our U.S. Constitution.
