The White House is aggressively pushing the idea that, contrary to widespread belief, President Barack Obama is tightfisted with taxpayer dollars. To back it up, the administration cites a media report that claims federal spending is rising at the slowest pace since the Eisenhower years.
"Federal spending since I took office has risen at the slowest pace of any president in almost 60 years," Obama said at a campaign rally Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
The problem with that rosy claim is that the Wall Street bailout is part of the calculation. The bailout ballooned the 2009 budget just before Obama took office, making Obama's 2010 results look smaller in comparison. And as almost $150 billion of the bailout was paid back during Obama's watch, the analysis counted them as government spending cuts.
It also assumes Obama had less of a role setting the budget for 2009 than he really did.
Obama rests his claim on an analysis by MarketWatch, a financial information and news service owned by Dow Jones & Co. The analysis simply looks at the year-to-year topline spending number for the government but doesn't account for distortions baked into the figures by the Wall Street bailout and government takeover of the mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The MarketWatch study finds spending growth of only 1.4 percent over 2010-2013, or annual increases averaging 0.4 percent over that period. Those are stunningly low figures considering that Obama rammed through Congress an $831 billion stimulus measure in early 2009 and presided over significant increases in annual spending by domestic agencies at the same time the cost of benefit programs like Social Security, Medicare and the Medicaid were ticking steadily higher.
A fairer calculation would give Obama much of the responsibility for an almost 10 percent budget boost in 2009, then a 13 percent increase over 2010-2013, or average annual growth of spending of just more than 3 percent over that period.

Whirlwind SEIU-OWS May Day Training Sessions Will Send Off 100,000 Anarchists To Our Streets
The neo-anarchist movement has at least 925 gatherings of "The 99% Spring" event set to begin the week of May 1st nationwide. This will be a full blown demonstration of street mayhem orchestrated by SEIU-trained OWS anarchists willing to ride the edge of "irrational exuberance" to tear down our banks, financial institutions, and corporations. Presently recruiting upwards of 100,000 student-leftists, communists, and nihilists in a devised strategy linked directly to the White House and its domestic czars, public demonstration and crisis-street mayhem tactics are set to begin in about a week when training formally begins in SEIU locals, college campuses (e.g. Yale Divinty School on Prospect St. in New Haven, CT) and private homes drilled as ready-sites for training of "emerging Socialism's collateral damage."
Here is their philosophy supporting their recruitment drive:
"We're at a crossroads as a country. In recent years, millions have lost their jobs, homes have been foreclosed, and an unconscionable number of children live in poverty. We have to stand up to the people who caused of all this and confront the rampant greed and deliberate manipulation of our democracy and our economy by a tiny minority in the 1%.
Inspired by Occupy Wall Street and the fight for workers in Madison, Wisconsin, the 99% will rise up this spring. In the span of just one week, from April 9-15, 100,000 people will be trained to tell the story of what happened to our economy, learn the history of non-violent direct action, and use that knowledge to take action on our own campaigns to win change."

Video Reveals ‘Occupy’ Strategy to ‘Abolish Capitalism’ (With SEIU Help!)
It’s been nearly a year since The Blaze broke the story of SEIU strategist Stephen Lerner’s campaign of economic terrorism. Lerner outlined, in audio captured by The Blaze, a secret plan to destroy a major bank with the intent of crashing the stock market. Lerner’s plan clearly envisioned the activism that would come to be known as Occupy Wall Street.

Single dad trying to take back home from Occupy Wall Street protesters
NC Renegade
They’re occupying his home. Occupy Wall Street protesters announced with great fanfare last month that they moved a homeless family into a “foreclosed” Brooklyn, N.Y., home — even though they knew the house belonged to a struggling single father desperately trying to renegotiate his mortgage, The Post has learned. “They’re trying to take a house and say the bank is robbing the people because the mortgage is too high — so contact the owner!” fumed Wise Ahadzi, 28, who owns the home at 702 Vermont St. in East New York.
Occupiers “reclaimed” the row house on Dec. 6 and ceremoniously put out the welcome mat for a homeless family.
But Bank of America, which has been in and out of foreclosure proceedings against Ahadzi since 2009, confirmed to The Post that he is still the rightful owner.
Meanwhile, the family that OWS claimed to be putting into the vacant house has not yet permanently moved in. And it turns out the family is not a random victim of the foreclosure crisis, but cast for the part, thanks to their connection to the OWS movement.
OWS last week said it has spent $9,500 breaking into the house and setting it up for the homeless Carrasquillo family. A photo of the smiling family covers a window, under the slogan, “A place to call home.”

Wes Vernon—Renew America: What would you do differently from Obama (if you wanted to bring America down)?
The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) crowd (with White House ties) is the natural outgrowth of several generations of classroom Marxist indoctrination. Foremost has been the hate-America "history" taught in writings of the late Communist Party member Howard Zinn
OWS parrots the communist line to the dotted i and crossed t. A revisit to a basic civics lesson therefore is in order. The reader is asked to consider: If you were a Marxist revolutionary or committed socialist, and you wanted to destroy America from within by stealth and in carefully planned steps, what is President Obama doing that you would not do?
A high-level OWS endorsement
The OWS battle cry is "the [top] 1 percent vs. the 99 percent [the rest of us]." President Obama has said to the occupiers, "We are on their side," and addressing them directly, he added, "You are the reason I ran for office."
And why shouldn't OWS and the current White House occupant not be in sync? He preaches class hatred all the time, most notably in his Kansas speech this past week wherein he all but declared total political war on the United States, especially its job-creators.
A civil right?
The Marxist view of the world is that if someone has more in worldly goods than you do, it means he is robbing you of what is rightfully your "fair share." And ergo, the "inequality" in and of itself has led to the "lousy economy" (in Bill Clinton's words).
The naïve brainwashed, along with those who know what they are doing, preach class hatred as political gospel. To them, there is a direct correlation between financial "equality" and freedom. In reality, there is no cause and effect there whatsoever.
Lesson 1 — Wealth is not created by government. Lesson 2 — In order for wealth to be created, (duh!) some people hire other people. And, yes — Lesson 3 — Absent incentive to hire along with adequate capital to invest, monetary equality ("level playing field?") can be attained only when all of us are equally poor and equally miserable.
Lesson 4 — Brace yourselves for this one: Material security is not a "civil right."
The ever-evolving "top 1 percent"
Let's suppose government confiscated every penny owned by the "top 1 percent." Would the Marxist preachers of class hatred be satisfied? Likely they would be rubbing their hands as they gleefully vilify the new "top 1 percent." Thus, the spiral continues downward until we are all equally poor and equally miserable.
At that point, an all-powerful government, in a performance intended to infer the process of "riding to the rescue," offers or imposes a takeover. That old slippery slope has been repeated with disastrous results, but the credulous fall for it every time. The end result has either been bankruptcy — currently a dangerous possibility facing the U.S. — or in some cases the ultimate result — the Holocaust or the Gulag.

Sun Journal Letter to the Editor by CCTA Vice Chairman, Nancy Murdoch: Coveting Stuff
December 08, 2011 4:08 PM
There is something fundamentally wrong with this country, and it’s deeper than politics, but there may be a correlation. We have a culture run amok, with a percentage of folks that seem closer to barbarians than members of a civilized society.
The day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday, some individuals acted like hooligans and starving animals. With a mob mentality, people fought over “stuff” with no concern for their fellow man. The “stuff” was not the necessities of life, but waffle irons, video games and other “stuff”. In West Virginia folks stepped over and around a collapsed man as if he was only a piece of trash.
During the Occupy Wall Street protests, we have witnessed open sex, rapes, public defecation and all sorts of antisocial behavior. And many of their demands involved “stuff”, generally wanting someone else’s “stuff,” not wanting to pay for their own “stuff”, or just more “stuff”.
Then we have a president campaigning on promises to take “stuff” from some Americans and give that “stuff” to other Americans that vote for him. He likes to chastise those who he perceives having too much “stuff”, but doesn’t mind giving the taxpayers’ ”stuff” to those who give him lots of “stuff” for his campaign coffers.
Another new phenomenon of the 21st century is the so called “flash mob”; young, social media connected types rushing into stores stealing “stuff”. Has stealing become socially acceptable in some circles?
It does appear there are people trying to feel better about themselves and their lives by illegally or immorally acquiring more “stuff”. A number of people do nothing to earn their “stuff”.
A review of history will see this scenario has played out before. A culture reaches a position of wealth and prosperity, followed by an erosion of the values that helped the country reach that pinnacle of success. People become lazy and dependent on society for their “stuff” and the society begins to crumble.
Add a government and a citizenry completely consumed by debt, a crumbling dollar, and it’s easy to visualize an uncertain future. The rubber will meet the road when there is a lot less “stuff” to go around. If there should be a shortage of essential “stuff”, is it a stretch to think that these semi-barbarians will become full fledged in their desire for enough “stuff” to exist?

SUNJOURNAL NEW BERN: Letter to the Editor--Suggestion for OWS by CCTA Treasurer, Gary Lindsey
Suggestion for OWS
November 28, 2011
Since Occupy Wall Street by most reports does not have a specific agenda, I offer my suggestion: You need to focus your attention on the real culprit of the unfairness of the money distribution.
Instead of going after the banks and corporations that benefited from the bailouts, go protest the Federal Reserve Bank that made this possible. The money to bail out these banks and corporations was created out of nothing of value by the Federal Reserve Bank. They are the real concern you should have. It is the FEDERAL RESERVE that controls what BOA and the other banks, companies, and yes even politicians, can do that influence our day-to-day ability to live a decent life.
With the SJ’s new limit on words, I do not have the necessary space to educate everyone through the letters to the editor on how the Federal Reserve creates money and influences every aspect of our daily lives.
However, I have already given a speech and would be willing to make a free presentation to any group that would want to be enlightened on the subject. To SJ, if anyone inquires please pass along my address and phone number provided to you.

Was the Bank of America ‘Occupation’ a Coordinated, ACORN-Affiliated Attack?
Did an ACORN front group plan and execute last week’s bizarre “Occupation” of a San Francisco Bank of America branch?
As you’ll recall, nearly 100 people were arrested after storming into the bank, chanting slogans and attempting to setup camp indoors. Now, following this incident, some are wondering if an ACORN front group may have been behind the organized chaos.

Obama’s Progressive Pastor Offers Church as Sanctuary to Occupy Protesters
“It’s time to invite the Occupy Movement to church,” or at least according to pastor Jim Wallis it is. You might recall Wallis — a member of President Barack Obama’s faith council and founder of Sojourners ministry. He is also reportedly a spiritual adviser to Obama.
Now, Wallis is also opening the doors to his parish, offering sanctuary to Occupy protesters, while at the same time encouraging other churches across the country to do the same. According to KleinOnline, Wallis suggested that Thanksgiving is the “perfect occasion” for churches to reach out and offer Occupiers shelter.
Wallis used his church’s magazine as a platform to call for a “church sanctuary for the Occupy movement.” KO adds:

Restoring the Constitutional Republic 11.11.11 rally
Restoring the Constitutional Republic Rally in DC
by Judi McLeod
Washington,DC- Cold bitter winds blowing through Washington, DC today didn’t stop patriots from coming from as far away as Hawaii, Kentucky, South Carolina and Michigan to the Washington Monument to take stand for the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence at the Restoring the Constitutional Republic 11.11.11 rally.
US Patriots Union founder, columnist JB Williams and Veterans Defenders of America leader Col. Harry Riley, who organized the rally knew in the planning stage that no matter how many the rally gathered, the snub of the mainstream media would be the same.
Along with JB, CFP columnists Navy SEAL Jim O’Neill and Dr. Ileana Johnson were there.
CFP editor Judi McLeod felt honoured to be asked by JB and Riley to address the gathering.
“Few eras in American and world history are more critical than the one we are all living right now.
“For this is the dark chapter when an undocumented ‘president’ works round-the-clock to deliver to global elitist power brokers his promised Fundamental Transformation of America.
“But as I stand right here with you at the cherished Washington Monument and see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears, your passion and unbridled patriotism, I take heart.
“For the presence of every single one of you here today tells not only me—but freedom and liberty lovers everywhere that American patriots will NEVER let the Obama-vowed Fundamental Transformation of America go down in history!!
The motto of my newspaper Canada Free Press states outright on its banner; ‘BECAUSE WITHOUT AMERICA THERE IS NO FREE WORLD” That’s the motto that should be on the New York Times the Washington Post and on all American newspapers who are in business only because of their readers and advertisers!
“BECAUSE WITHOUT AMERICA THERE IS NO FREE WORLD” should be the one chant shouted from every rooftop because it is the one chant that is the truth!
“The sun came up on a beautiful day at the Monument and CFP’s Brian Thompson, sussing out the site for Occupy Wall Street activists, said that the sun rising over the Washington Monument was an image that would live in his heart forever. And, like every other day just before sunrise, the Creator’s Orchestra of trilling, chirping birds warned of the dawn of another God’s day.
“The Occupy Wall Street crowd, incidentally, were still asleep in their tents or at home sleeping….They work in shifts and only appear mid-mornings.
“The sun, at least figuratively speaking, would not rise in Athens, Paris or Rome without America. America, no matter how politicians portray it, is the leader of the STILL-FREE West. America earned that place as world defender of democracy and it was paid for in the sacrifice of human life in wars whose ultimate goal was to keep the Free World Free.
“There would be no rising sun for many average little people raising families in far-flung corners of the world without America, whose ingenuity, courage and outstanding generosity have kept freedom alive in the West and abroad.
“All of us here know it has been a long three years, with an almost every Friday night shock thrown at the American people from politicians using the evil Marxist Saul Alinsky ‘Demoralize-the-Masses’ Rule Book.
“We all know that we are on the Last Mile and that the Last Mile—marked between right now and the November 6, 2012 Election will be the longest last mile of our lives.
“Think about it. Next Veterans Day, exactly one year from today will be AFTER the 2012 presidential election.
“Yesterday while driving through beautiful Pennsylvania to get here, I couldn’t get over the houses tucked in the deep valleys and up the majestic mountains, many likely there through long generations.
“Are these the ‘rich’ the Obama administration and their Occupy Wall Street friends squatting in the parks want to wipe out? Ordinary, industrious, hard-working Americans?
“That very memory of driving through Pennsylvania brings me to a specific message in my address to you today.
“For three years Barack Obama has travelled the world complaining about America and Americans. We know this to be true, but in order to win the fight against his fundamental transformation we must look into the reason why he constantly puts down an America that afforded he and his wife a life of privilege, including his election to the Oval Office.
“Obama needs to destroy American exceptionalism and to destroy forever the American ideal.
“The reason for that is Obama wants to hand America over to greedy and corrupt power brokers who see people as serfs—their serfs. In other words, Obama is doing nothing less than selling America out!
“No matter what happens on the Last Mile, those here today will look back to today. They will remember how the US Patriot Union and the Veteran Defenders of America told you here that today was not the end—but only the beginning of the battle ahead to Restore the Constitution and the American Declaration of Independence.
“It starts with the full confidence of knowing that Obama cannot take America—when Americans won’t give it away to him or any other politician.
“Everything is worth fighting for if there is to be any kind of legacy of freedom for our children and grandchildren.
“Obama and the power brokers whose employee he is never counted on the fire of patriotism imbued in the hearts of American patriots that has never died out since the day of the Founding Fathers…the day when men were statesmen and not career politicians. We the People never forgot it, only the politicians trying to cling to power did. But politicians like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are no different than other politicians, who like the leaves of autumn, are here today…and mercifully gone with the wind tomorrow.
“The things that matter most to a free people who come from a glorious history as Americans do are NEVER forgotten or let go.
“So besides saying God Bless America, God bless each and every one of you, I will end this the way I left the South East Michigan 9/12 Project when I spoke to them two years ago this June.
“As I was leaving the podium, I shouted out the one slogan heard and cheered by freedom lovers all over the world: That is: “USA!” “USA!”
“When Michiganian Cathy Tyler shouted my name followed by “USA!” “USA!”
“Cathy: Are you there?”
P.S: Note to the never-say-die Patriot JB Williams: You do America proud.
PPS: During the rally, incredibly, the chopper known as Marine 1, now empty having done its part to shuttle Obama on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson for today’s Michigan State and North Carolina Basketball Game, flew over patriots at the Washington Monument.

“All of us here know it has been a long three years, with an almost every Friday night shock thrown at the American people from politicians using the evil Marxist Saul Alinsky ‘Demoralize-the-Masses’ Rule Book.
“We all know that we are on the Last Mile and that the Last Mile—marked between right now and the November 6, 2012 Election will be the longest last mile of our lives.
“Think about it. Next Veterans Day, exactly one year from today will be AFTER the 2012 presidential election.
“Yesterday while driving through beautiful Pennsylvania to get here, I couldn’t get over the houses tucked in the deep valleys and up the majestic mountains, many likely there through long generations.
“Are these the ‘rich’ the Obama administration and their Occupy Wall Street friends squatting in the parks want to wipe out? Ordinary, industrious, hard-working Americans?
“That very memory of driving through Pennsylvania brings me to a specific message in my address to you today.
“For three years Barack Obama has travelled the world complaining about America and Americans. We know this to be true, but in order to win the fight against his fundamental transformation we must look into the reason why he constantly puts down an America that afforded he and his wife a life of privilege, including his election to the Oval Office.
“Obama needs to destroy American exceptionalism and to destroy forever the American ideal.
“The reason for that is Obama wants to hand America over to greedy and corrupt power brokers who see people as serfs—their serfs. In other words, Obama is doing nothing less than selling America out!
“No matter what happens on the Last Mile, those here today will look back to today. They will remember how the US Patriot Union and the Veteran Defenders of America told you here that today was not the end—but only the beginning of the battle ahead to Restore the Constitution and the American Declaration of Independence.
“It starts with the full confidence of knowing that Obama cannot take America—when Americans won’t give it away to him or any other politician.
“Everything is worth fighting for if there is to be any kind of legacy of freedom for our children and grandchildren.
“Obama and the power brokers whose employee he is never counted on the fire of patriotism imbued in the hearts of American patriots that has never died out since the day of the Founding Fathers…the day when men were statesmen and not career politicians. We the People never forgot it, only the politicians trying to cling to power did. But politicians like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are no different than other politicians, who like the leaves of autumn, are here today…and mercifully gone with the wind tomorrow.
“The things that matter most to a free people who come from a glorious history as Americans do are NEVER forgotten or let go.
“So besides saying God Bless America, God bless each and every one of you, I will end this the way I left the South East Michigan 9/12 Project when I spoke to them two years ago this June.
“As I was leaving the podium, I shouted out the one slogan heard and cheered by freedom lovers all over the world: That is: “USA!” “USA!”
“When Michiganian Cathy Tyler shouted my name followed by “USA!” “USA!”
“Cathy: Are you there?”
P.S: Note to the never-say-die Patriot JB Williams: You do America proud.
PPS: During the rally, incredibly, the chopper known as Marine 1, now empty having done its part to shuttle Obama on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson for today’s Michigan State and North Carolina Basketball Game, flew over patriots at the Washington Monument.

‘Occupying Fox News’: See the Occupy Wall St. Ad that Aired During ‘The O’Reilly Factor’
If you can’t beat them, advertise with them. This is apparently the new adage being embraced by filmmakers who are sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street protests.
At least one director and his associates have purchased ad space on Fox News and Bloomberg Business TV, among other outlets, in an effort to bring the Occupy message to opponents.
Believe it or not, the group even bought time on “The O’Reilly Factor.” On Wednesday night, the pro-Occupy ad was slated to air three times during the program — once during the 8 p.m. time slot and two times during the program’s second showing at 11 p.m.

Sun Journal Letter to the Editor: Violence at AFP Summit in DC, by CCTA Vice Chairman, Nancy Murdoch
At 4:30 a.m. last Friday morning, my husband and I, along with a number of Eastern N.C. patriots got on a bus heading to Washington, D.C. to attend the “Defending the American Dream Summit", sponsored by Americans for Prosperity. We paid our own way to the event.
After arriving, we attended the opening events and the dinner honoring President Reagan, where we were fortunate to hear many amazing speakers. As Judge Andrew Napolitano began his remarks, he was interrupted by an infiltrator that began screaming at the crowd. As he was removed, the Judge affirmed the protesters’ right to his convictions, as much as he disagreed with them.
Later in the festivities we were shown a video of what was occurring outside the Convention Center. A number of protesters had shown up from the “Occupy” movement with a large “fat cat” balloon. We were advised to stay in groups and not engage with the protesters when we walked back to our hotel.
Those believing that the “Occupy” movement is non-violent are very mistaken. At one time no one was able to leave the building as the protesters blocked the entrances, banging on the glass and screaming. Eventually police were able to clear the doors and we were allowed to leave. Unfortunately, several older women were knocked down and suffered some minor injuries that could have easily been serious. A woman in a wheelchair was not allowed to leave, and a child was separated from her mother. The situation was chaotic, with the protesters being in charge more than the police. Traffic was blocked, and someone was run over by a vehicle. Anyone doubting the veracity of my statements can find videos online covering the events.
I have attended a number of tea parties, and have never seen violence of any kind, and no arrests. The “Occupy” movement has resulted in almost 3,000 arrests to date, rapes, assaults, a death, injuries, destruction of private property, and the loss of safety and movement for others. To compare these statistics to the Tea Parties is a joke, and would only be made by someone with a warped agenda. Media and politicians pushing the “Occupy” movement as representative of the American people will pay a price. To ignore the violence and applaud this type of disgusting behavior is an injustice to us all.

LOU CALLING: Imagine This
Hey, this is great! Imagine the odds of this happening.
Do you know the park in NYC that the Wall Street protesters are occupying? Zucotti Park.
Did you know this park is not owned by the city? It is owned by Brookfield Properties.
Who was just hired by Brookfield Properties as an attorney? Vice President Joe Biden's son.
Who sits on the board of Brookfield Properties? Mayor Bloomberg's live in girlfriend.
Now, guess what company just received some of the last of the Obama Stimulus $$$$$$$.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaat's right, Brookfield Properties.
Isn't life great!
Hey, on a completely unrelated note, Wisconsin is shaping up to be the swing state in the 2012 presidential elections. Not Florida ... Not Ohio . But Wisconsin .
Now, guess who owns the company that will be tabulating the electronic votes in Wisconsin .
Thaaaaaaaaaaaat's right, the biggest contributor to Obama, George Soros. Whaaaaaaaat a coincidence!
Remember what Stalin said. "He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power".

We are sitting in the eye of a hurricane. The media jackals, like a tornado, are destroying everything and everyone in their path who is a conservative and not a subscriber to European socialism and one world government.
Alphabet soup pundits dedicate hundreds of stories and airtime to Occupy Wall Street unemployable collegiate malcontents, filthy vagrants, druggies, and communist agitators who are getting more and more violent.
Occupiers with trust funds claim to be the 99 percent of the people who want the spoils of the one percent, the rich. They complain that the homeless are stealing their electronic gadgets and food. Apparently, “stealing is a problem when it happens to you, ‘social justice’ when it happens to someone else.” Lazy agitators abhor capitalism and banks, yet are hypocritically eager to deposit donated funds in the bank.
Goethe said, “Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.” And there is plenty of ignorance walking the streets and parks of Occupy Wall Street. One outraged group was flooded by job application flyers falling from offices above the street. Here is a novel idea, instead of complaining for weeks and laying in your own filth, get a job created by the government control you so crave.
A good suggestion to the anarchists would be to move to Cuba or Korea where most jobs are government issued and controlled. Workers have job security, no vacations, terrible medical care, must be silent, show up for work six days a week, and pretend to be happy on a salary of $20 a month.
The malcontents were told in school and believed that the economy was bad thanks to capitalism. Capitalism could not create jobs for their worthless degrees. Only government could create wonderful jobs. No advisor in college had told them the truth that they could not get a job with a degree in Greek or Women’s Studies after spending $50,000 on a worthless piece of paper.

THE BLAZE: Will Occupy Wall Street Permanently Expand to Central Park This Friday?
Occupy Wall Street appears to be preparing for an Occupation expansion into New York City’s world-renowned Central Park.
This Friday– Veterans Day– the Occupiers plan to march to Central Park. The question at this point is, do they plan to stay and form a permanent, Zuccotti Park style Occupation?
There some indications the answer is “yes.”
There have been rumors for weeks that the Occupation would set up other franchises. Washington Square, Thompson Square, and Union Square parks have been reportedly under consideration, and some of those sites have already been playing host to nightly “General Assemblies.”
A permanent expansion of the Occupy Wall Street franchise would stretch police resources and exacerbate threats to public health and safety already seen in Zuccotti Park. So far, it hasn’t happened.

Perpetual Revolution by Robert Ringer

Monday, November 7, 2011
As the election season revs up, bull-slinging, the favorite sport of the criminal class east of the Potomac, is in full bloom. Some of the best zingers we’ve been treated to lately include:
•Che Obama, at the G-20 in France, saying, with a straight face: “I have to tell you, the least of my concerns at the moment is the politics of a year from now.” Sure, Barry.
•Nancy Pelosi, at a recent press briefing, saying, with a straight face: “If President Obama and the House congressional Democrats had not acted, we would be at 15 percent unemployment.” Sure, Nancy.
•Joe Biden saying, with a straight face, that if Obama’s $447 billion “jobs bill” (i.e., stimulus package) is not passed, there won’t be enough police to prevent rapes and robberies. Sure, Joe.
Do they really believe any of this nonsense? No, of course not. But they do know, through experience, that slinging a decorative array of fecal matter against the wall can win over a significant portion of the electorate — particularly those who don’t know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
But let’s put the sleepwalkers aside for a moment. They’re pretty much already owned by the left anyway. I’m more concerned about the supposedly conservative media types who are hopelessly trapped in the Beltway Paradigm.
By Beltway Paradigm, I’m talking about those who believe the far-left zealots will ultimately fail because, in the end, the free market will overrule their desires. They are fond of saying that socialism is simply not in the American DNA, thus in the next election voters will root out those on the far left.
Their problem is that they do not understand how the left-wing revolutionary mind works. Lefties know that communism makes the masses worse off, but they also know they can override that reality through the use of force.
Media mainstreamers, even those who are usually on target, simply cannot grasp a scenario that is so far outside the Beltway Paradigm. In their minds, they naively assume there will always be a next election.
And, even more naively, they assume the government would never use violence against U.S. citizens. Underlying this naiveté is that they cannot bring themselves to believe there is a serious revolution afoot in this country — and throughout the world.
In that vein, a year ago I participated in a panel discussion with three staunch Republicans, one of whom was a high-profile Fox News contributor. At one point in our discussion — and without giving it a second thought — I happened to mention Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler, and Barack Obama in the same sentence, which caused the Fox News contributor to frantically blurt out, “I didn’t say that!” to make certain the audience knew the comment had not come from him.
His knee-jerk attempt to distance himself from my comment took me aback, because I sometimes forget that mainstream guys never stray from the comfortable thoughts contained within their Beltway Paradigm. And, rest assured, revolution is not within that paradigm.
Whether it’s the Occupy Wall Street protesters, rioters in Greece, public workers defacing the state capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin, or thugs tearing down the city of Oakland, brick by brick, they are all focused on the same objective: equal distribution of wealth and a classless society. They may not use the word communism, but communism is precisely what they yearn for.
Do I believe every person in these rowdy mobs is consciously involved in a communist revolution? No, of course not. A majority of them, in fact, are probably nothing more than “useful idiots” who are hopelessly addicted to the idea of less and less work coupled with more and more entitlements. I doubt they realize that the system they long to see implemented is communism — or ultimately leads to communism.
In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote: “In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite!”
The key words here are “support every revolutionary movement against existing social conditions.” When you use these words as a filter, it’s easier to understand the connection between such seemingly disparate events as those in Egypt, Libya, Greece, Wisconsin, and Lower Manhattan. After all, the only thing that matters is that workers must always revolt against “existing social conditions.”
The result is perpetual revolution, because there are always “existing social conditions.” That’s why most rioters who have been interviewed seem not to be able to coherently explain exactly what they’re rioting about. For the left, mob violence is an end in itself. To parody Ursula the witch in the Disney classic The Little Mermaid, it’s what they live for.
One of Lenin’s more infamous statements was when he said, “We say that our morality is wholly subordinated to the interests of the class struggle of the proletariat.” Translation: Anything goes, because the communists’ noble end justifies any means, including lying, stealing, cheating, or even the murder of innocent people. From whence comes the kind of absurd bull slinging we hear from committed lefties like Obama, Pelosi, and Biden.
Marx and Engels viewed the world as divided into two classes — the exploiters, who own the means of production, and the exploited, who have no choice but to sell or trade their physical labor in order to survive. And based on the worldwide uprisings we’ve seen over the past year, nothing much has changed in the 163 years since Marx and Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto. Isn’t it amazing that the revolution they called for is still going strong so long after the collapse of the great social experiments in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe?
Above all, Marx and Engels fervently believed that the root of all evil is private property. They cared little about freedom, because, clearly, freedom is impossible without private property. Property is an extension of a man’s life, thus if everything he creates can be taken from him, he has no incentive to create. If everything he buys with his earnings can be taken from him, he has no incentive to earn.
I don’t believe it was so much that Marx and Engels didn’t understand this self-evident reality. I believe it was more a case of their choosing to ignore it. In their narrow, somewhat childish, view of the world, workers deserved to receive all of the proceeds from the sale of whatever was produced by their labor. Management, they believed, was incidental to the production of a product, thus management and owners deserved nothing.
All this by way of reminding you that there is a revolution afoot, and it’s a revolution that Obama and his class-warfare pals can win. From Greece and Portugal to California and Wisconsin, from Italy and Spain to Illinois and New York, the socialist model is collapsing under its own weight. Economic and demographic forces are shining a spotlight on the reality that the combination of ever-bigger government financed by an ever-smaller tax base is doomed to failure.
Nevertheless, Obama and his class-warfare pals can win. The more obvious their failure becomes, the more angry and panicked the wealth redistributors, especially in Washington, D.C., will be. Their bull slinging is easy enough to laugh off, but if it doesn’t work — if it becomes clear that the Democrats are going down to defeat in 2012 — look for them to go to their weapon of last resort and use brute force to “temporarily” suspend elections.
Of course, the least of my concerns at the moment is suspension of the 2012 elections. Sure, Robert.

This Is the Comprehensive List of Those Supporting Occupy Wall St.
“Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are.”
That line is one of the famous “Mom-ilies” often heard in homes all around the country. Perhaps mothers have drawn this wisdom from the Bible and Proverbs 13:20:
“He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Either way, The Blaze has presented details on the people inside the OWS movement as well as those believed to be supporting it with money, material goods (sleeping bags, non-perishable foods, etc.), organizational skills, and even storage space. We have named names from the White House to the American Nazi Party, we have shown connections to several unions (like SEIU, UFT, and TWU) and pointed out the organizers like the Working Families Party and ACORN.
This morning we ask you to consider the recently posted Official list of Occupy Wall Street’s supporters, sponsors, and sympathizers put together by intrepid blogger Zombie.

Occupy Wall Street 101--Joel Killion, Wilson County Tea Party
This 10-point summary of the Occupy Wall Street, which includes 45 footnotes, paints a clear picture of this "movement" in 919 words. Read it and forward it to everyone you know. People need to know what this is and where it is leading!
The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) “movement,” which spread to 951 cities in 82 countries on October 15[1] and is also known as the “Days of Rage,” is dangerous for America because…
1.It has been endorsed by the American Nazi Party[2] and the Communist Party USA.[3]
2.It has a strong anti-Semitic bent[4] and no one heading-up the “movement” has refuted this (including the Nazis).
3.It is comprised of self-described Socialists[5] who believe the “government has a moral responsibility to guarantee all citizens access to affordable health care, a college education, and a secure retirement—no matter the cost.”[6] In fact, OWS is now officially part of a global push towards Socialism.[7]
4.Many in its ranks support civil disobedience [“98% say they would support civil disobedience to achieve their goals.”[8]], violent revolution[9] and wealth redistribution (while opposing our free-market). As Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen states, “The movement doesn’t represent unemployed America and is not ideologically diverse. Rather, it comprises an unrepresentative segment of the electorate that believes in radical redistribution of wealth [Marxism], civil disobedience and, in some instances, violence.” Regarding violence, “31% support violence to advance their agenda” (Wall Street Journal), while many in OWS are likening their movement to the Arab Spring which was extremely violent; in fact, an Arab Spring veteran visited the OWS general assembly recently and publicly praised the movement.[10] Moreover, an Iranian military commander has said that OWS is “the beginning of an ‘American Spring.’”[11] Also, recently, an effigy of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein’s bloody severed head on a pike was happily paraded at OWS’ general assembly for all protestors to cheer.[12] Regarding Marxism, Rev. Al Sharpton has encouraged the black community to get involved in OWS because the young people in OWS “are right about the distribution of wealth,” which is what he and Rev. Jesse Jackson believe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for.[13]
5.Thousands of OWS protestors have been arrested all over America for destroying public and private property, disturbing the peace, blocking traffic, violence[14] (“Occupy” marches all over Europe are extremely violent and no one in the OWS movement has renounced it; yet MSNBC Analyst Donny Deutsch is hoping for a “Kent State” type moment so the OWS movement can resonate with the American people.[15]), and, now, OWS has added to its message a strong anti-police trend.[16] [17]
6.It is made-up of foul-mouthed, Woodstock hippies, SEIU union members, liberalized college kids, and self-defined anarchists; in many cases they are a “rogue group of kids.”[18] And it is supported by the kind of people who spit on female officers in the Coast Guard[19], who are drug-users,[20] [21] who suppress the freedom of the press,[22] who reportedly commit “vandalism, public urination, sexual harassment, and sex in public,”[23] who allegedly commit rape,[24] who disturb the “quality of life” of area residents,[25] who poop on police cars, and who engage in all kinds of debauchery.[26] Moreover, the protestors at Occupy Portland set the phrase “F*** the USA” to music and performed it.[27]
7.“An overwhelming majority of demonstrators supported Barack Obama in 2008” and “48% say they will vote to re-elect him in 2012,”[28] even though Obama has “done better at getting Wall Street cash than any other President in the last 20 years,” according to HotAir.com.[29] Nevertheless, 35% of OWS demonstrators want to “influence the Democratic Party the way the Tea Party has influenced the GOP.”[30]
8.It is being capitalized upon by the Obama campaign.[31]
9.It has been endorsed/supported by Alec Baldwin, Rev. Jim Wallis, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, MSNBC’s Ed Shultz, President Clinton, SEIU’s Stephen Lerner, actor Tim Robbins, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, actress Susan Sarandon, Francis Fox Piven, Michael Moore, David Axelrod, 100s of Tehran student (who are anti-USA, anti-Israel, and anti-capitalist[32]), Iranian students,[33] Van Jones, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,[34] Al Gore, Cuban president Hugo Chavez,[35] Rev. Al Sharpton, Geraldo Rivera, Code Pink, comedian Job Stewart, Cornel West, Pete Seeger,[36] Tavis Smiley, Nancy Pelosi, the “honorable minister” Louis Farrakhan, Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simons, Media Matters, President Obama, GE CEO and Obama “Job’s Czar” Jeffrey Immelt, Deepak Chopra, rapper Kanye West, actress Rosanne Barr [who believes the bankers earning over $100 million should be beheaded.[37]], and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).[38] [39] [40] Truly, you can tell a lot about something by who praises it.
10.10. OWS is organized and funded by SEIU, ACORN, The Working Family, the Obama administration, the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Socialists of America, The Tide’s Foundation, and George Soros,[41] as well as the big labor organization AFL-CIO.[42] Oh, and many of them are being paid to protest.[43] [44]
Anyone who digs under the surface of this movement will see its true colors, beyond what is being reported by the mainstream media, which has the gall to compare this “movement” to the Tea Party. Folks, the OWS agenda is way outside the mainstream[45] and we should take this OWS crowd seriously; this is the beginning of the coming insurrection. Most of them are sheeple and they are being led like mind-numbed robots into a ripened revolution.

Report: ACORN Is Secretly Helping Organize & Fund the ‘Occupy’ Movement
Remember ACORN? If not, try and stretch your memory back to the 2008 presidential campaign and the months that followed.
The controversial community organizing group — which is now defunct — came under fire for purportedly engaging in voter fraud.
Now, Fox News is reporting that the former New York office for ACORN is heavily involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement — so much so, that former members are apparently organizing door-to-door canvassing, events, and other related activities. Considering that this is supposedly a “leaderless” movement, these allegations are curious. Fox News reports:
