Team Obama, MoveOn, and militant leftists in “training” for mob protests at personal homes?

Using the same radical, militant tactics that radical far-left and full-on socialist zealots such as ACORN used in the 1990s and 2000s to force banks to give sub-prime mortgage loans and other loans to people who had no business borrowing money, the far-left group MoveOn.org is now advocating more of it  –  but under a new, shall we say “borrowed” name. They actually seem to be trying to hijack the most radical and militant elements of the “Occupy” movement and their “99%” rhetoric, in additional to the revolutionary rhetoric of the “Arab Spring” to do it. They’ve dubbed their latest sortie “The 99% Spring” offensive, in which they promise to train militants to “confront the 1%.”

Here’s a snippet from an email dispatch from MoveOn.org this week, in which they boast of attacking the personal family home of one bank executive, after one of their apparently militant “training” camp exercises (or as their email puts it, “nonviolent direct action trainings”, snarf). See if this sounds like America to you:

MoveOn with personal attack boast

But upon further investigation, it actually seems to be a part of a broader hijacking of the leftist “Occupy” movement (or at least radical extremists within that movement), by a cabal inspired by, if not led by, Barack Obama and his campaign, the Democratic Party, and leftist community organizing groups, including the infamous Iowa CCI, a militant left-wing “community organizing” group which even the Democratic Party has disavowed in the past. In a story at alJazeerea.com, they report that “Occupy” organizers are upset that the hijacking may be rooted not just at MoveOn.org, but right in the Barack Obama and Democratic Party re-election campaign.

alJazeera.com, April 18, 2012

Is the Occupy movement being hijacked?

[...] But now a rival group has emerged – called the 99% Spring – which says it wants to train protesters for a campaign of peaceful protest.

Critics have denounced the group as a Democratic Party attempt to galvanise support for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign. Nonetheless, some former Occupy protesters are now advocating that change should come from within the government itself. …

Well it’s fun watching them all fight each other over who’s responsible. But this whole thing  –  the “Occupy” movement, MoveOn.org, the radicals at Iowa CCI, and this latest militant “training” and organized protest of personal family homes of citizens  –  sounds like Barack Obama’s America, that’s for sure. This is Obama’s so-called “community organizing” in action.  This “community organizing” has been the totality of Obama’s life experience in his effort to, as he put it during his election campaign, “fundamentally transform America.” Into what, exactly, we are slowly discovering, to our dismay.

Occupy Your Third Graders

By (links to archive) • Twitter link or Web site: Doug Giles
January 15, 2012  •Leave a Comment
Tagged With: , ,

This month a report surfaced of 3rd graders in Charlottesville, Virginia singing a song that the kiddos wrote (or so we were told) about being part of the 99% “Occupiers.” Here is a sample of the lyrics that the 9-year-olds supposedly drafted and then crooned for their comrades in class.

I used to be sad, now I’m satisfied
’Cause I really have enough
Though I lost my yacht and plane
Didn’t need that extra stuff
Could have been much worse
You don’t need to be first
’Cause I’ve got my friends
Here by my side
Don’t need it all
I’m so happy to be part of the 99

Question: What booger-eating, chunky, freckled public school 3rd grader (who has yet to master coloring within the lines of his coloring book and lives in a double-wide down by Rock Crick) has earned enough capital to have bought and lost a 60-foot Viking in landlocked Charlottesville? Answer: Uh, none.

In addition, I didn’t know 3rd graders were the playboy proprietors of Piaggio Avantis. Geez, where have I been?!

The good news is that when the parents of said kids found out their children were singing this socialistic slop—which praises the virtues of mediocrity—they wanted to know what Trotskyite was brainwashing their kids through song.

Upon inquiry, the school told the parents that their young ‘uns came up with this class warfare smack all by their lonesome. Matter of fact, the Albemarle County School Board Chairman, Stephen Koleszar, vigorously denied they were influenced at all by any outside source.

Well, Koleszar’s lies got shot to hell by the facts this week when Paul Reisler, the director of the group Kid Pan Alley, an outside musical company that “empowers kids through music,” confessed to messing with your child’s mind with Occupy overtones in their opera.

Note to offended parents and concerned citizens: You ought to call Stephen Koleszar and let him know you don’t appreciate that kind of refuse in the classroom. Be kind. But be firm. Don’t stoop to the level of the occupiers with their insane and inane vile verbosity.

Here’s another ditty for the progenitors of kids in public school: If I currently had children in public school, I would demand to read their textbooks, and I’d grill my bambinos every day to find out what kind of stuff they got sold before the final bell. I think you’d be shocked.

Oh, and teachers, if you don’t dig socialism and believe it’s a failed, enslaving economic nightmare, be sure to blow the whistle on any internal or external blowhards weaseling their way into our little ones’ noggins via the classroom. It’s just a suggestion.

Now, in the spirit of free enterprise, capitalism and American exceptionalism I say turnabout is fair play and that we should counter the communistic class warfare tunes turned out by the infiltrators of our children’s world by teaching our kids a song of opportunity and greatness instead of weakness and envy.

These Socialists Are Weird.

Why do you try to enslave me

In the public school?

Education has escaped me

Listening to you fools.

Oh, God, help me escape this class

And free me like a bird

I don’t wanna be an envious jackass

Like these occuturds.

Liberate me from these whiners

Who gripe and moan and bray

Put me around some winners

Who see opportuna-tay.

Freedom, freedom, freedom

Get out of here

Freedom, freedom, freedom

These socialists are weird.

Get your 3rd graders singing this song. If you videotape your group singing it and email it to me, I’ll post the best video in next week’s column.

P.S. Here’s another example of how the progressives are gunning for kids, through song, in the public school. Bizarre.

Pampered white fools

In a healthier, more ethical and robust, and better adjusted age, the so-called occupiers would not have been tolerated for more than a few moments, and we would not have been obliged to spend enormous amounts of public money on the police, judges, and politicians wasting their and our time on responding to some of the most pampered of our world.

But we lost the application of common sense long ago, and in its place have inserted a twisted, tangled web of leaping at every whim of the new neurotics, and treating their habits and spasms as issues of genuine concern.

I sometimes wonder if the entire occupation is not part of some larger, greater, grander conspiracy. Something cooked up by the Masonic/Zionist conspiracy, the Bilderberg Group, or perhaps a deadly alliance of the Fantastic Four and X-Men, in the pay of the CIA. You see, while the self-loving Bollinger Bolsheviks have been skipping lectures and living off mummy and daddy’s money, the genuinely oppressed have been screaming for our attention, and have largely been ignored.

It’s rather like the AIDS crisis, and how it had been ravaging black Africa for 40 years and the world did nothing. These were black people, with no power, and so their deaths didn’t matter. Suddenly HIV began causing agony among gay men in North America and the story became front-page news. Far more Africans have died, and are still dying, than westerners, but only one group’s story is sexy enough for our selfish mentalities.

AIDS is horrible, whomever the victim, but a local library reducing its opening time by an hour, or a public service worker losing a fraction of an over-generous pension, is hardly a martyrdom beyond comprehension. Not that most of the occupiers are worried about libraries and pensions — they don’t read, and money doesn’t seem to be a problem, judging by their amount of leisure time.

Yet the downtrodden in Syria and Egypt, for example, who are beaten and slaughtered, make the news only when there is a lull in Occupation Update. The starving in Sudan and Somalia are given a moment’s sound bite only if Occupying Fashion Tips is off the air.

The mentally ill in Canada unable to find a hospital bed or a psychiatrist are entirely ignored, because everybody’s obsessed with the latest episode of Occupy! A Modern Soap.

It is a bourgeois conceit. “I care about what is going on in a Canadian city, because I live close by, and because Ms. Jones next door has a son whose girlfriend was part of the occupation, and she’s really nice, and won’t eat meat, think the Palestinians are cute, and watches David Suzuki on television. Oh, and she’s white, and speaks English, and doesn’t push me out of my comfort zone.”

One last question. If a group of black teens assembled in a public park, having a bit of fun, but not breaking the law, do you think the police would challenge them? Of course they would.

Yet white fools certainly breaking the law in public parks were until the last few days given police protection. We prejudge in all sorts of ways, don’t we Comrade?

From a Global Perspective, the 99 Percent Are Actually the 1 Percent

As I watch the various college-aged Occupiers in their True Religion jeans talk about how bad they’ve got it while they tweet on their Macs during a catered lunch consisting of salmon filets with dill sauce as a Rasta Columbia grad student strums gently on his Washburn 118SW, I keep thinking, “You charmed babies don’t have it that bad.”

Matter of fact, from an earth angle, you are truly the fortunate ones and have hit the lifestyle lotto. Trust me, there are stacks of people from developing countries who would love to have what you ingrates whine about. Just ask an illegal alien.

For instance …

1. Clean Water. Please bear in mind, Occupiers, that when you crack open your Evian or get a glass of water from your dorm room faucet that 884 million people worldwide drink water out of crap puddles. Also, even though it doesn’t look like many of you cats bathe, when you do scrub your undercarriage during a five-minute shower, know that you have burned more aqua in that foray than a normal Joe in a third world county has in the last 24 hours. Just a little FYI.

2. Toilets. I know some of your crew like to forego toilets and port-a-potties and drop deuces on police cars and American flags and urinate in public, but please understand that the mere fact that you’ve got an option to use an American Standard truly tosses you into the cultural elite class. Yep, worldwide 40% of our globe’s population (2.6 billion people) is forced, out of poverty, to pop a squat in the brush because they are that broke.

3. Electricity. Next time you power up your iPhone 4S or HDTV, think about this ditty: 1.6 billion folks live without the little extravagance of electricity.

4. A Roof. Globally, one billion people would kill to live in that tent you’re inhabiting right now in that swank park you’re ruining. One-sixth of the world’s collective live in cardboard boxes. According to the NYC arrest records of the 984 OWS protestors arrested between 9/18 and 10/15, they’re dwelling in digs that average about $305,000 a pop. Can you say, “1%”?

5. Grub. Did you know the rats you guys are attracting by the food you toss away during your protest would actually be a delicacy in developing countries? If you have three squares a day (or even one) please note that you are blessed because 790 million folks, give or take, go to bed every night with their stomachs sucking up against their spines.

I could go on and on talking about how great we have it here amidst all of our inequities and absurdities, but I’ve got a Thanksgiving dinner to eat, a cigar to smoke and a giant screen HDTV to watch the Dolphins lose on that forbid me to go any further with this diatribe. For more 411 on why the OWS crowd and all Americans should bow their knee and thank God we have this nation, check out this column.

And if you’re looking for a book for parents for Christmas that’ll keep kids from being part of the OWS crowd, get my barn burner here.

And check out my latest video for a shot of holy adrenaline.

Occupy Wall Street Labor Day Telethon

By (links to archive) • Twitter link or Web site: Mike Adams
November 22, 2011  •Leave a Comment
Tagged With: ,

There’s big news breaking simultaneously in the world of entertainment and in the not-so-different world of politics. Jerry Lewis is coming out of retirement. And he’s doing it just in time for the first annual Occupy Wall Street Labor Day Telethon. The telethon is being held for disillusioned youths who voted for Barack Obama only to have their hopes and dreams dashed by hopelessness and an undersupply of change – particularly change in the national rate of unemployment.

For Barracks Kids, also known as Barry’s Kids, Jerry Lewis has said he’ll be coming out of retirement only temporarily. “I want to support America’s newest cause, Occupiers, Barrack’s Kids, Barry’s Kids, or whatever you want to call them. They are all helpless and they all suffer from the same horrible symptoms,” said the 85 year old entertainer. “I want to educate the public and raise both awareness and money for this chronically helpless and handicapped generation of college graduates.”

Newly Enlightened Widespread Militant Dissatisfaction, or New MD, is relatively unknown to most of the general public. However, those stricken with it can be identified by several common characteristics:

  1. Chronic joblessness. This is often due to personal hygiene issues. Unfortunately, once it sets in, a vicious cycle tends to break out. Bad hygiene hurts job prospects. Then unemployment impedes the ability of New MD sufferers to purchase products that might tend to improve personal hygiene.
  2. Chronic confusion. Just one example: Many New MD sufferers are able to articulate a shared belief that debt should be banned. Yet they are incapable of explaining how poor people would get loans to purchase homes and automobiles and how this would reduce, and not exacerbate inequality.
  3. Blurred vision. At first, this was thought to be caused by the overwhelming tendency to focus on other people’s possessions. Now, there is some consensus that it stems from excessive texting and preoccupation with playing video games – also known as chronic v-idiocy. Most protestors – despite their claimed distain for corporations – regularly use the Ipad2 and other compatible Apple products. Because they often do this after smoking copious amounts of marijuana, which increases squinting, their vision is eventually impaired.
  4. Memory loss. Put simply, Barry’s Kids have forgotten that they live in the greatest nation on earth. Who else would host the first annual Occupy Wall Street Labor Day Telethon but public TV? It’s all in line with their philosophy: What’s yours is theirs and what’s theirs is theirs. But somehow they’ve forgotten that they would not have public TV without the generosity of the American taxpayer.

The first annual Occupy Wall Street Labor Day Telethon Special will feature an all-star cast – the kind only Jerry Lewis could assemble. Unlike the good old days, there will be no special appearances by Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin. But Operation Christmas Child will be diverting gift shoe boxes from children in poverty-stricken Africa in order to provide for shoeless Barry’s Kids living in public parks all across our great nation.

Fundraising events will include a marathon for Occupy Wall Streeters only. It’s unlikely the Occupiers will actually run. In all likelihood, they’ll be expecting someone else to run for them. A benefit concert is also planned. It will have headliners like Lionel Richie’s step cousin Jerome, Milli Vanilli, and Stryper with background vocals by Nancy Pelosi. Lyrics are already in the works for a Barry’s Kids theme song “Don’t stand so close to me (Really, you haven’t bathed in 3 weeks!).”

Eventually, there will be a cure for New MD, which is afflicting literally thousands of recent college graduates who voted for Barack Obama. But hope is on the way for Barry’s kids. They can rest assured that a cure is being sought by people who are much more intelligent, productive, and grateful than they are.

In the meantime, it is important for parents to prevent their kids from ever being afflicted with New MD. The best thing they can do is to challenge them intellectually by keeping them out of the public schools. Then, if they go to college, they can ban them from majoring in useless disciplines like sociology or anything ending with the word “studies.”

A mind really is a terrible thing to waste. That’s especially true if you’re a white kid with a worthless degree, a mountain of debt, and a false sense of moral superiority.

Those offended by today’s column may contact me on my personal Facebook page. No profanity please.

Occupy Bull Streeters Get Worse

By (links to archive) • Twitter link or Web site: Doug Giles
November 13, 2011  •Leave a Comment
Tagged With: , , ,

This past week I was in Texas with my family honoring our wounded troops with our 3rd annual Texas Purple Heart Hunt. For the last three years the Giles Tribe has gathered (along with several others) at one of Roy Burnes’ ranches to celebrate America and those who keep her safe by hunting deer and drinking beer while listening to great music as we roast the flesh with the best of the best. It was truly a great time deep in the heart of Texas.

As you can imagine, partying and hunting with our vets for the last few days pulled me away from my job of monitoring the fetid chum slick of the daily news. So, I was itching to see what in the world had happened while we were blissfully tucked away with guns in God’s Country.

Upon arrival back to civilization I opened my email account and started plowing through the gazillion emails my columns spawn. Many of the emails I got told me about how great I am. Of course I hit print and pasted them on my office wall next to the altar sporting the life-sized poster of myself. However, several of the emails I received told me how full of crap I am in regard to the last column I penned about the Occupy crowd and their aberrant and criminal behavior.

When I pointed out last week how the media and the president had insanely ignored the 99% who’re turning our taxpayer funded cities into trash and disease-filled Petri dishes, where rapes and multi-million dollar vandalism goes down, I was told that I am the mean guy and have been skewing the facts—even though I cited several legit sources.

Being one who practices the biblical discipline of self-examination, I took a nanosecond and asked myself, “Self … have you indeed wrongfully judged a reasonable democratic uprising? Do I need to repent?”

Having been out of the loop, I minimized my email page, popped open Google and typed in “Occupy November 5th – 11th” to see if I had grieved the Holy Spirit by fudging the facts. Holy Schnikey. Was I not only right about the things previously reported, but it appears that Occupy matters have gotten worse. For instance …

More Americans Died at ‘Occupy’ Protests Than in Afghanistan on Thursday

Tea Partier Violently Assaulted at ‘Occupy San Diego’

Cops Bust up ‘Occupiers’ With Nightsticks

‘Occupiers’ to Block Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony?

Tuberculosis Outbreak at Occupy Atlanta’s Base

Is This the Nuttiest ‘Occupy’ Protester Ever?

‘Occupy Wall Street’ Kicks Hungry Homeless Out of Park

Help me here, main stream media and Doug critics: I don’t recollect any murders, assaults, rapes, multi-million dollar trashing of environments, nudity, nightsticks, protests of Christmas, or any homeless people snubbed by tea partiers … and yet it is the tea partiers who are demonized—as in, ridiculously demonized.

However, facts be damned, it is the occupiers who are spawning the mayhem throughout our land, and I for one hope sane voters are seriously paying attention to the fruit of the progressive movement.

BTW Occupusses: Here’s a shot of your chunky buddy Michael Moore’s vacation house. Breitbart Exclusive Pics: Michael Moore’s Massive Michigan Vacation Mansion…

Oh, and one more BTW: From a global perspective, all you Ninety-Nine Percenters are the lucky one percent. Yes, if you eat three meals a day, have a cell phone and a laptop you are one of the world’s lucky ones.

90% of “Occupy” tents are “Un-Occupied.” (But it’s still “grassroots,” right?)

In LEFT-WING THEATRICS today: A damn capitalist uses a capitalist tool  –  an infrared camera  –  to discover that 90% of the “occupy” tents are vacant at night.

This was in London, which is relatively warm at night. But not warm enough for these fakers. A nice warm bed in a nice heated home is where they’d really rather be. And where they really actually are. Apparently they think the “99%” are liars and propagandist shills for left-wing causes.

The London Telegraph reports:

…Infra red images taken by a police helicopter during the early hours show that only around 20 of the 200 tents on the encampment actually have people staying in them.

The Daily Telegraph has shot its own video of the St Paul’s camp using thermal imaging equipment which appears to confirm these claims. …

… A sign on one of the tents said: “All day, all week, we’ll sleep on London’s freezing streets. Solidarity.” …

Four Habits of an Occupy Wall Street Occupuss

By (links to archive) • Twitter link or Web site: Doug Giles
October 23, 2011  •Leave a Comment
Tagged With: , , ,

Herewith are four common denominators of a Wall Street occupier.

Habit One: Hate America. Unlike the patriotic Tea Party movement where Old Glory flies proudly and participants sing patriotic songs with vigor and recite the Pledge of Allegiance with thunderous respect, the exact opposite goes on at the OWS Teat Parties.

They hate America. You won’t see them pledging allegiance to this country. If you don’t believe me, google Occupy Wall Street and check out the images and videos this cabal has spawned and tell me these winners love this land. I’m waiting …

Habit Two: Hate Jesus Christ & Moses. Even though some moronic Christians have been cheerleading at the OWS free candy rallies, they obviously don’t dig Jesus, Joseph or Mary.

How do I know? Well, they’re into stealing (“redistribution of wealth”); sloth (who has that much time to waste?); and envy (they want what others enjoy—and if they can’t have it, nobody should. The envier’s motto is: “if not I, then no one.”).

In addition, they’re cool with destroying private property and wrecking the local environment (I thought these greenies loved mother earth?). Another hand tip that these lovelies no likey God is the virulent anti-Semitic cursing of the “greedy Jews” for all the slackers’ financial woes. And a big chunk of them, by their own admission, are cool with violence if that’s what it takes to get “economic justice.” Yep, for one to be a good OWS rebel one must dispense with Jesus & Moses because they condemn the aforementioned behaviors.

Habit Three: Hate Responsibility. Another thing for certain about the Occupy Wall Street crowd is that they love to blame others and shirk responsibility for why their lives suck more than a Toro Gas Vac with its powerful 25.4cc 2-cycle commercial-grade engine (she’s a doozy, ain’t she?!).

Blameshifting, according to success expert Stephen Covey, is a key habit to being a hobbled and broke Occupy Occupuss. The other day I saw a trust fund baby Columbia grad at an OWS rally blathering about how Wall Street was “oppressing” him, and I’m sitting there thinking, “Yeah, sure. It’s Wall Street’s fault you can’t find gainful employment. It has nothing to do with your giant pot leaf forehead tattoo, your lug bolt tongue piercing, or the fact that only a sweaty skunk’s butt eclipses the stench your dreadlocks emit. It’s the man and the machine’s fault!”

Habit Four: Hate Independence. A further obvious common denominator of the Flea Party is that is appears as if these smelly cats are addicted to the mediocre and manipulative milk which slowly drips from the fed’s bankrupt, wilted tit. Yep, via the public school system these dependents have come to expect/demand that the government’s job is to give them a job—or just screw the job and give ‘em money.

I read this one whiner’s whimperings on a pro-OWS blog that stated that they just want the government to give them a fair chance at the American dream. A “fair chance,” little flower? Yes, you know … as in free college, free health care and free scented oil massage. Well hello, Lewis and frickin’ Clark!

Hey, sweetie, you already have a fair chance at the American dream. You are here. Now … if you would cease and desist your pathetic, weed-inspired diatribe and dig deep within your bong resin-crusted psyche for an idea for goods or services that meet the consumers’ wants or needs then you, too, will have a purty good shot at living the dream. That is, of course, until the federal government gets wind of your success and begins to regulate it more than Michelle does Barack when Shakira visits the White House.

Final warning: If you ever deviate from these habits, OWS protestor, and start appreciating this great nation, start following Jesus and Mo’s lead by taking responsibility for your own well-being and become a mean, lean, independent human being, it will cost you your broke OWS companions.

Do Wall Street occupiers not have bosses, families, responsibilities?

I have always felt very sorry for the municipal politician in Caledonia, Ont., who five years ago dared to comment on the illegal Native occupation in the area by suggesting out loud that most of the actual residents had jobs, while many of those occupying the residents’ property didn’t seem to have them.

Golly, the woman was apparently worse than Hitler! Apologize now, resign, have sensitivity training, they yelled.

But why? She was right.

And the same applies to pretty much every long-term protest we see.

Do these people not have bills, mortgages and rent to pay?

Do they not have employers who might wonder where they are?

Do they not have families to take care of, or responsibilities? Or, perhaps, taxes to pay — taxes that maintain hospitals, provide welfare, fund public education?

What we are seeing on Wall Street and in other American cities, and what we are about to see in Canada, is the usual scenario of the ugly alliance of students, dropouts — a euphemism for parasites — professional protesters and union types who are paid to stand around looking as if they need a job standing around.

There is nothing crass or vulgar about telling someone to get a job.

If they are incapable of working, a civilized culture will take care of them.

But if you look at the mob on Wall Street, you will see a disproportionately middle-class, white, able-bodied section of society.

It’s the ethnic and the less educated who seem to be the ones rushing off to work, often low-paid work, and couldn’t find the time to protest even if they wanted to.

A lot of people have got the Wall Street nonsense wrong. It’s not about politics, but about sociology. It’s not connected to the civil rights marches of the 1960s or even the anti-war gatherings during the Vietnam War.

Rather, it’s the Jack Layton melodrama, the Princess Diana mass neurosis, the Vancouver riots, an episode of Oprah. It’s a happening, something to be part of, something to give meaning and communal significance to otherwise empty and dusty lives.

We used to ask what people had done in the war, when Nazi psychopaths or Japanese fascists threatened to take over the world. Now we sit in overpriced coffee shops and share anecdotes about what the police did to us during the G20. “Hey man, it was like, yeah, like a movie.”

There are myriad stories of people making a little trip to the Wall Street party in the hope of finding a cause. Shopping with politics. I can’t imagine a Syrian demonstrator running between Assad’s bullets, asking himself if it’s environmental decay or animal liberation that pushes his buttons.

Worst of all are the portentous labour and leftist party leaders, who know it’s all garbage but think they can cash in on the whole thing, and so they tell us this is important.

If I hear one more person begin a defence of the occupation with, “What you have to understand,” I’ll turn it into a drinking song.

Actually, what you have to understand is that this is a bourgeois conceit, a mere souffle, and will disappear with a simple breath of clean wind.
