I have decided that physical threats to Brookfield Properties board members and their families are the only thing that could have thwarted the clearing of the park on the night of October 13.

/The money alone would not have been enough.

Ann Coulter called it in Demonic. The rule of the mob.

“Need the I’m with stupid t-shirts”

I witnessed the Occupy Vegas protest on Fremont Street Saturday.

When the idiot wearing Diesel Designer Jeans, Nikes, and texting away on his I-phone walked by carrying a “Capitalism Is EVIL!” sign, myself and my black buddy MOCKED HIM ENDLESSLY for about 15 minutes.

“...So we should side with a bunch of anti-Semitic, Socialists dirtbags?...”

He’s letting you know he already did...

They’re HIS “children” out there, crapping and pissing on the sidewalk, screaming and carrying on and acting like little pigs.

This is his hope and change coming around.

Hopefully, we can make it bite him in his ass.

Obama tells the protesters he is on their side yet....

Here’s a president who bailed out the big banks, protected their pay, and helped hold them together—yet “Wall Street hates Barack Obama,”

From the article I linked above.

Hitler told the Jewish Bankers “You have too much money!”
Obama/Dems/Occupiers are telling the Jewish Bankers “You have too much money!”

But, we aren’t supposed to note these comparisons, are we?

To understand you need the Obama translator switched on, here you go:

“The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, voting for whom you’re supposed to, is rewarded,” Obama tells ABC News. “And that people who vote wrong, who don’t campaign for me, who don’t feel a sense of obligation to the Democratic Party and their candidates and their workers that those folks aren’t rewarded.”

To which the OWS crowd replied,
"well, we're with you on the voting thing, but all that other crap, not so much..."

I’ve been waiting and waiting, asking and asking, and wondering just why Obama has never made a statement, or has been asked how he feels about OCCUPY, point blank.
Now he has done it.
Now his forces have created their own raggedy-ass and upside-down version
of the Tea Party. The impression it creates is not a good one, but it will be played craftily and “explained” once again by a willing and complicit MSM from here to election day, as being the “REAL” Tea Party. There will be enormous attempts made to make it look inclusive, grass-roots, and
appealing to the broadest possible spectrum of people, which is exactly what the Tea Party was and is, and this group is NOT.
In other words, it’s this kind of in-your-face social disruption which promises it will “go away” when and if
it’s satisfied it’s being listened to-—it IN FACT it is a threat that it will CONTINUE if the other guy gets elected.
As such it is an open invitation to violence and class warfare. What a cunning bunch of bastards these Lefties are.

Hussein doesn’t want the great unwashed to figure out that he’s the primary source of their problem. The other problem is they are idiots.

"We're on their side" and "They have a lot in common with the Tea Party."

Don't ever remember him saying "we're on their side" during the TP protests.

The guy's mouth has more sides than a mega-buffet, and he talks out of all of them at once.

http://www.elojodigital.com/contenido/10128-hugo-chavez-occupy-wall-street-and-double-standards

Hugo Chavez hates Wall Street, ground zero for “savage capitalism.” Daily he dreams of bear markets bringing the U.S. economy crashing down. He certainly likes the Occupy Wall Street movement. It is tailor-made for advancing Chavez-style “participatory democracy.” Little wonder he has dispatched his star propagandist to New York.

Eva Golinger, described as “a Venezuelan-American lawyer and editor of the English edition of the state newspaper Correo del Orinoco” (i.e., an arm of the Chavez regime). A well-funded apologist for Chavez, Golinger has apparently joined forces with the anti–Wall Street protest movement, gleefully reporting back to Venezuela news of growing disorder, imminent class struggle, and sinking capitalism in the U.S.

Golinger is also known for exposés of nefarious U.S. efforts to destabilize Venezuela by supporting endangered democratic groups. According to the Commentator:

[Golinger] is on Venezuelan government TV several times a week naming Venezuelan citizens who have dared to advocate for human rights or democracy in their country. Her main scapegoats, it would seem, are the National Endowment for Democracy and the United States Agency for International Development; two U.S. government organizations that provide support to civil society in monitoring Venezuela’s democratic collapse; a collapse in which Ms. Golinger is, of course, actively involved.

Ms. Golinger’s presence in New York is not illegal—although as an employee of the Government of Venezuela, technicalities could emerge regarding the Foreign Agent Registration Act.

Here is Eva Golinger on RussiaToday:

Not many people in the USA know Eva Golinger Calderon:

http://alekboyd.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-york-times-eva-golinger.html
6.2.11
The New York Times does Eva Golinger

Eva is moving up in the revolutionary world. The New York Times, bastion of liberalism, has published a profile of Eva Golinger. As Daniel argues, why would the New York Times consider worthy ceding a piece of its publication’s real state to a non entity, such as Eva Golinger? My view is that, if anything, the NYT, and Reuters before that, are simply setting the record straight on Eva, which is something I started doing in 2003. She’s gaining notoriety. She’s travelling with Chavez now. She’s even going to have her own programme, in that beacon of “objective” journalism, which is Putin-controlled Russia Today. Both articles present her as editor of officially-funded Correo del Orinoco. Simon Romero’s article in the NYT goes even further, and refers to her as “one of the most prominent fixtures of Venezuela’s expanding state propaganda complex.”

As her idol, to whom she owes a lavish lifestyle and everything she’s got, Golinger really is her own worst enemy. One only has to see the zeal with which she defends Chavez to realise that objectivity, respect for rule of law and human rights aren’t values Golinger holds dear. The peculiarly funny thing is that Golinger resents being defined as a propagandist, which is effectively what she is. In that regard, the NYT is to be applauded. As Larry Rohter did with Oliver Stone’s propagandistic film and his officially-funded sources, now Simon Romero’s article has “outed” Eva Golinger, in The New York Times no less!
