Econonomic Sabotage? A Case for the FBI? Occupy Wall Street and the Cuban Connection
New Zeal ^ | Feb 14, 2012 | Tervor Loudon

Posted on 02/21/2012 12:51:10 AM PST by Islander7

Occupy Wall Street and its hundreds of offshoots, cost the U.S. hundreds of millions of dollars in a few short months. Cleanup costs, police overtime, lost and disrupted production and countless smaller issues hit cash strapped communities at a time they could least afford it.

If, as some (including myself) predict, the movement expands and becomes better organized and more violent next Spring and Summer, the costs could become astronomical.

If you were an enemy of the U.S., a hostile power intent on bringing America to its knees, would you like to see this movement grow? Maybe even help it along a little? There is some evidence that one country has been doing just that.

That country is Cuba.

The O.W.S. movement got more than a little attention at a recent Cuban sponsored convention of communist led labor unions in Tijuana, Mexico.

Certainly “Occupy” was on the conference agenda. Detroit activist and former conference organizer Cheryl LaBash, wrote in a November 5 article in Worker’s World, the publication of the militantly pro-Cuban Worker’s World Party:

Where is the electrifying Occupy Wall Street movement headed? From capitalist media pundits to the Occupy Wall Street encampments struggling to hold public space in countless cities and towns across the U.S., this question is bubbling underneath the daily actions and police repression.

An opportunity to discuss the experience of other such movements will take place just across the U.S. border from San Diego in Tijuana, Mexico, on Dec. 2 to 4 at the 8th U.S./Cuba/Mexico/Latin America Labor Conference.

It will follow a three-day Workers’ School with instructors from the Lázaro Peña Cadre School in Havana, Cuba.

Stupid liberal mayors allowed it.

Liberalism has a death wish.

Liberalism = cultural and economic suicide.

The thoughtful stuff laid out in the article reflects a lot of the vile spewed out by UAW fuehrer Boob King on February 11in Flint, Michigan in commemoration of the GM Flint sit down strike of 1937: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120211/AUTO01/202110356

Laugh at your own risk, but ask yourself, who are the rich people this goonion bastard wants to attack? Is GE a valid target for King and his goonion thugs when GE and Jeffrey Immelt are in Maobama’s hip pocket. The communist goonions are patient entities and they will work like an infection to spread and finally kill the host. Anybody who thinks that Boob King and his goonion thugs are not dangerous should read the linked article carefully. These people are communist filth and they must be crushed.

Goonion thugs waving around pictures of Marx and Lenin should not be taken lightly. To their neighbors and coworkers they’re just those nice goonion activists fighting for the “little guy”......like Marx or Lenin.

I believe those “1st among equals” were called the nomenklatura in the Soviet Union. I think I read that somewhere.

Just like the mensheviks and other factions, when the bolsheviks are done with the UAW activists, the “99%”, and other assorted fellow travelers, they’ll be sent off to the gulag or the wall too. Jimmy Hoffa wasn’t misspeaking when he called us sons of bitches last labor day.

Good stuff you provided, thank you.

Yeah, like last year’s back breaking credit card bills are “so last year”...Why do you use a credit card? Why not pay them off at the end of the month, when due? Oh, yeah. I need it NOW. LOL.

The communist unions have been at work on their agenda for well over 70 years.
And now they have a US president in their pocket, so they're feeling giddy.

I recommend to you and everybody else else to get on the Homer_J_Simpson ping list for daily editions of the New York Times (70 years ago, to the day). First, it is fascinating to read about the lead-up to America's entry into World war II. Second, that era was a time of a major communist ("labor union") surge in America, and the labor unions were quick to try to hold America's national security hostage in order to feed their own greed.

Check out THIS RECENT EDITION as an example of the kind of regular daily headlines people were reading 70 years ago.
In the upper right-hand corner:

FORD PLANT CLOSED IN MOVE FOR MEDIATION;150 INJURED; HOUSE VOTES DEFENSE PROBE
Defense Strikes Stir Congress

If you check out Homer_J_Simpson's NYT archive you will see similar headlines from that era nearly every day. Believe me, the union/communist movement had (and still has) absolutely no interest in what is best for America.

As far as the FBI investigating anything, is that a joke? Holder's FBI, investigate communist economic sabotage? I don't think so..
In case anybody failed to notice, communist economic sabotage happens to be the Ubama regime's primary mission.
