The chorus began quietly at a recent strategy session inside Zuccotti Park, with a single cough from a security team member, a muffled hack between puffs on his cigarette. Then a colleague followed. Then another.

Kiddies ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait for the TB, HIV, and typhus.

But “natural” is best right?

No one thinks about the fact that “natural” is absolutely filthy.

[dps.inspect]

Miscreants all... sewer dwellers out in the open...

[yldstrk]

Just like “organic” means it’s loaded with bug eggs and insects

But Bloomberg said only yesterday it was a Garden of Eden!

Obviously, even the maniacal libs at the New York Times are growing concerned with this disgrace.

“I’m amazed that in a park full of revolutionaries, there are large contingents that can’t throw away their own trash,” said Jordan McCarthy, 22, a member of the protesters’ sanitation team.

Unlike the advocates of personal responsibilty a.k.a, the Tea Party, these revolutionaires seem to always expect someone else to do the necessary work for them.

“Progressivism” on display for the world to see. Disease, disorder, destruction, decay, debauchery. Keep it up, folks. Make sure everybody sees what you are all about.

“Oh won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer....
Please Please Please!
Say that you will!”

“...and the unions don’t mind...”

. . . with one protester blowing his nose into the mulch between clusters of tents . . . cigarettes are shared . . . Pretty much everything here is a good way to get sick . . . protesters urinate in bottles, or occasionally a water-cooler jug, to avoid the lines at public restrooms. Food, from orange peels to scrambled eggs, is often discarded outside tents . . . “That’s what makes an occupation such a powerful statement,” she said. “We will risk our own health and give up completely our own comfort.”

Having attended Tea Party rallies, I see no parallels at all between those of us who love America and those who love free handouts from the government. OWS disgusts me, and the more I see, the more I find to be disgusted by.

I bet they make disinfecting water cannons.

“We will risk our own health and give up completely our own comfort.”

Oh please, please, please give your life for the cause.

“That’s what makes an occupation such a powerful statement,” she said. “We will risk our own health and give up completely our own comfort.”

She's watched too many Braveheart movies.

“We’re the biggest tourist attraction in New York,” he said. “And we shake everyone’s hands.”

Pass the sanitizer, please.

[Drill Thrawl]

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[Pollster1]

She's watched too many Braveheart movies.

. . . and missed the point.

Who knows what evil diseases lurk in the cracks and crevices of Pathogen Park?

TB

Saw a post yesterday regarding OWS-Atlanta & tuberculosis.

Didn't get around to reading it.

But Bloomberg said only yesterday it was a Garden of Eden!

Are you sure that's what Nanny Bloomberg actually said?

There is a report that when he saw all the free pizza, sushi, organic zucchini soup, Halal goatburgers, etc. that the Occu-Tards are served at their own kitchen this is what he actually said:

"It's a garden of eatin'"

Norovirus! Now that would do the trick! Like a hot knife through butter. Causes projectile vomiting and projectile diarrhea, both of which are virulently infective.

It would be really easy for some dedicated folks who are totally disgusted with the lawlessness of these encampments to break them up.

The easiest way would be to send in a person infected with norovirus to hang around each camp a bit. (Or just collect some vomit from someone infected and spread that around.)

Other dirty tricks:

1. Quietly release 100’s of rats or mice into the encampments.

2. Quietly release a dozens of handguns into the encampments.

3. Quietly release 1000’s of cockroaches into the encampments.

Most of this is really just accelerating what’s going to happen naturally anyway.
