Potemkin Occupation

There's apparently less than meets the eye at an OWS occupation in London -- vacant tents masquerading as demonstration participants. The UK Daily Mail headlines:

The thermal images that prove 90% of tents in the Occupy camp in London are left EMPTY overnight Here is one of their images:

Where's the beef?

[kindred]

American taxpayer dollars under the obamanation administration supports the communist occupy movement that I believe was created by the obamanites.

he images suggest the vast majority of the demonstrators who gather around the cathedral to denounce capitalism during the day go home or to a hotel to stay warm at night. But despite being an almost entirely part time protest, the activists last week forced St Paul's to shut for the first time since the Blitz, and the cathedral appears unlikely to reopen for months.

Is there ANYTHING about liberals that isn't a lie?

Damn, can’t even get a good protester these days. Want 8 hours pay for an hour or two of whining. Might want to see if they can hire non-union.

[Yardstick]

Makes me think Lifson must read FR. A couple of clever Freepers used the Potemkin riff in a thread earlier today.

[saint]

Zombies don’t show up on thermal images.

You can't spell liberal without LIE.

That’s why the Oakland flea-bagger guy was threatening to beat up reporters if they entered their occupied area. He did not want the camera man to see that while there were 100 tents set up, there were actually only 4 potesters present. Two pampered trust fund Liberal Arts Majors who naively left there $4000 Macintosh computers unattended inside their tents and two other anarcho-marxists actively try to redistribute these same laptops.

Daggone it! I must be getting tired. Edit “potesters” to read “protesters” and edit “there laptops” to “their laptops”. Just posting about these Occupy X losers makes me write on their 6th grade level. Thousand pardons.

Its all a fraud! This is pure astro turf designed to keep Liberals in Power—thats all.
