Occupy Wall Street's Denial of Marxist Influence: Busted!

Newton R. Treehugger is simply one of many who were fed Marxist propaganda from the time they were in grade school to their very long and delayed graduation from a university. Unicorns and rainbows were promised. Meanwhile, they have found there is no demand for a degree in Gender Studies and realize they really don't have anything useful to contribute to the economy. As you might imagine, Newton R. Treehugger is very, very bitter.

We have mixed feelings about the Newton R. Treehuggers of the world. On one hand, they were told they had to go to college if they didn't want a job flipping burgers. So, they dutifully attended their classes and graduated, facing a very tough economy. Now a job flipping burgers may be all that's available for the moment. On the other hand, they didn't sign up for that. They signed up for a quick path toward the corner office. Or tenured positions. Or something like that.

While in college, they perhaps received the biggest mind-job ever performed upon a generation of students. While many eighteen-year olds left high school with the intention of learning something useful and getting a decent job; they instead got side-swiped by radical professors who condemned the American Dream. As far as these leftist professors were concerned, wanting to earn enough money to buy your own house was tantamount to kidnapping an American Indian and nailing him to a cross.

So the leftist professors went to work on the Newton R. Treehuggers, telling them that America was an Imperialist nation full of xenophobes, homophobes, and just plain ole' phobes who didn't know David Hume from Brit Hume. They told Newton R. Treehugger that Americans were selfish if they wanted to keep the money they earned. They said the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack deserved it. They said capitalism was oppressive and ultimately unfair. (They just made sure never to invite their students to their home.) They joined Occupy Wall Street and outed themselves as a Communist.

So how is Marxism tied to Occupy Wall Street? A few items:

1. The protesters target corporations. Much is said about how "unfair" it is that a CEO makes millions of dollars while other employees make a fraction of that amount. This is a common strategy by Marxists. Create resentment and jealousy and then call it inequality. They conveniently forget the fact that CEO's know how to make the right decisions at the right time. This is uncommon in a group of employees and worth the compensation. Coupled with interpersonal relationship skills, a voracious appetite for learning, and the courage to implement change -- all makes for a leader who keeps the company ship afloat. (And workers employed...) Marxism has a big problem with capitalism. Because as long as people can individually support themselves, government is limited in its control. Marxists hate that.


2. The protesters try to put everyone into one big unhappy bunch. Government change cannot occur if everyone is satisfied. First, the masses need to be agitated toward dissatisfaction with the status quo before the Marxist solution can be presented. Marxism is very uncreative. The only thing it can do is fool people into thinking capitalism is a "dictatorship" where only a few elite are in control. The irony here is that Marxism removes what they present as "dictatorship" while replacing it with a true dictatorship -- one that is vastly more oppressive than anything capitalism has produced. Look at Cuba.


3. The protesters very "occupation" (squatting) of private property illustrates Marxism's repudiation of property ownership. Marxism claims that owning private property is the root of class division. So it's no surprise that the protesters are claiming they have a "right" to "occupy everywhere." Their recent clash with Trinity Church exposed their warped mindset. Somehow it's "unjust" for Trinity to refuse them squatting rights when their private property isn't being used (according to the Occupy Wall Street's assumptions.). Private property is, in the words of David Horowitz, "a bulwark of human liberty." Horowitz goes on to say this:

There are no democratic societies, or industrial societies or post-industrial societies that are not based on private property and economic markets. Those who make war on private property, make war on human liberty and human well-being...

And that's it in a nutshell. Marxism hates with an undying nihilistic devotion the idea of human liberty. They insist that a collectivist society is superior to the freedoms we now enjoy with capitalism. They work hard to disguise the constant failures of Marxism and its failed history. Marxism is not only alive and well within the Occupy Wall Street protest, it is the very reason for its existence.

Protest Occupy Wall Street. #POWS

Overpaid CUNY Professor Says Occupy Wall Street Has Got To Exploit The Poor

Frances Fox Piven, "Distinguished Professor" of Sociology and Political Science at City University of New York (CUNY), makes an annual salary of $144,958. Which according to the majority of Americans, makes her rich. We're just sayin'.

Where to begin?

Few people knew about Frances Fox Piven until her name surfaced on The Glenn Beck Show on the Fox News Channel in 2010. Beck introduced his audience to the radical views of Piven who together, with her husband, Richard Cloward, developed a strategy in 1966 to collapse the government by overloading the welfare system. Of course Piven complained about feeling "targeted" by Beck exposing such a wacky idea. We'd feel embarrassed, too, if our utopian visions of a future filled with lollipops and unicorns were exposed for all the world to see. Especially if we were supposed to be a "distinguished professor."

But we digress.

Piven has a long history of championing the poor. She even mentioned it again at the beginning of this year, in a January piece featured in The New York Times. She said, "an effective movement of the unemployed will have to look something like the strikes and riots that have spread across Greece."

And she's still singing the same tune. On December 14, Piven published an article in The Nation titled "A Proud, Angry Poor." From the article:

Still, the movement has to respond to the police sweeps of its encampments by becoming broader and more hard-hitting. It has to firmly include the vast number of people who have been marginalized by the rhetoric of American politics and by the realities of the American economy. In many places the homeless have joined the encampments. That is a beginning. But it’s not enough. To fully realize an ethic of inclusion, the poorest and most benighted Americans should become part of our protest movement. We need to increase their numbers at our demonstrations, and we need to undertake the protest actions that deal with their most urgent needs—including the attacks on the social safety net that hit them hardest.

Someone should have told Occupiers in Zuccotti Park in October that the homeless appearing out of nowhere were actually Piven's foot soldiers. Instead, the food workers in the camp staged a protest of their own because they didn't want the homeless to eat up all the Spaghetti Bolognese.

It's no surprise that Piven is an admirer of Karl Marx. In 1983 at a talk for the Socialists Scholars Conference, she described Marx (whose 100th anniversary of Marx's death was celebrated) "as the man whose ideas had enabled 'common people' around the globe to become 'historical actors.' She urged her listeners to 'stand within the intellectual and political tradition Marx bequeathed,” treating it not as a “dead inheritance” but rather as a “living tradition—the creation of thinking, active people.'"

Nothing like trying to paint a monster like Marx into some benevolent director of a play.

No matter how much lipstick you put on a pig, it is still a pig. Frances Fox Piven can't change history, no matter how much she tries to distract people from viewing the truth. Marxism kills. It killed millions when it was running Russia and it would kill many more if it has a chance to be in charge in the United States.

Read this article from Nobel Peace Prize finalist, R.J. Rummel. If someone you know is involved with Occupy Wall Street or sympathetic to it, let them know the real goal of the protest. It isn't to change policies so banks won't get bailouts or corporations won't be able to give huge amounts of donations to political parties.

The real goal is to destroy capitalism. Because once capitalism is destroyed, the Marxists think they'll just swoop in and take over.

Educate people at every opportunity presented to you. Inform. Challenge. Knowledge is power and the Marxists are counting on a bunch of ignorant peasants making their job easier. From R.J. Rummel's article (emphasis ours):

The next time you come across or are lectured by one of our indigenous Marxists, or almost the equivalent, leftist zealots, ask them how they can justify the murder of over a hundred million their absolutist faith has brought about, and the misery it has created for many hundreds of millions more.

We agree. Ask.

Occupy Wall Street Goal: Let Colorado Springs Move To The National Mall!

Occupy Wall Street isn't happy. Because Trinity refused their request to use a vacant lot for squatting, they're attempting to now bully Trinity by "shaming" them into acquiescence. It isn't working.

On Saturday, December 17, 2011, the New York Occupy Wall Street protesters made a big fanfare about "re-occupying" a place near Zuccotti Park. They even published a poster about it.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum...

Trinity did not allow the protesters to use their property as the newest center for crime, rapes, drug use, disease, and unsanitary habits. They don't have the facilities to support such an "encampment" and do not think it's safe. Even Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefforts Schori supports Trinity's decision.

But, that didn't stop a bunch of neo-Marxists from drafting a condescending letter to Trinity, in hopes of shaming them into capitulation. Occupy Wall Street plays hardball, but those of us who are 100% American have our eyes wide open. And we have a little help from this hot, shiny tech tool called the Internet.

The letter, submitted by the Council of Elders, is printed in its entirety on the Occupy Wall Street official site. This "council" has quite a group of colorful characters. For instance, Rev. James Lawson is a retired United Methodist Minister. He's also passionately anti-American, and called for the defeat of the USA in its war on terror. Oh, and he also has used Marxist themes to advocate "revolution." (source)

In his own words:

“If our superpower prevails,” he says, “then people will perish, war after war after war. You can name the list of those who have perished already because of the assault.” In a 2001 lecture, Lawson put it this way: “The U.S. has become the number-one enemy of peace and justice in the world today.”

Dolores Huerta is another council member and boy, is she a sweetheart. She is the co-founder and first Vice President Emeritus of the United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO ("UFW"), board member of the Democratic Socialists of America, founding board member of the Feminist Majority, board member of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, and opposes the "War on Terror." In her words, “It’s always been a part of U.S. foreign policy to first put a dictator in power and than to get rid of him.” What a swell gal! (source)

(A big note of appreciation goes to the website DiscoverTheNetworks.org. This website is a goldmine of information on those who hate America and desire to make it into a Marxist hellhole. We heart David Horowitz.)

Back to the Occupy Wall Street site.

As we perused the comment section under the "Letter From Council of Elders to Trinity Church," we saw this gem:

From "isupportoccupywallstreet" (emphasis ours):

thank you for your reply nothing is going to turn this society around other than showing up in massive, stunning numbers of people. physically collecting, by 100 of 1000s at a time would make "people in charge" think: "holy sh--, they really mean it. they have gone out of their way. they must be pissed. they might not buy the (fill in the blank) stuff we need them to buy. so that i could buy another ___ (house, car, boat, drug, etc.). or they could all decide not to buy it tomorrow. they're communicating. they could do anything and it would be like trying to stop a tsunami! there's nothing we could do, not even with our army of police, to stop them!" so, yes! we need to take over the washington mall. or someplace like that. there were 200,000 people there for MLK's speech. lets make it half a million. or, why half?? showing up at a massive protest that lasts a long time is the closest thing to a vote you have, in case you haven't noticed. look at what it did to zuccotti park in the eyes of the world. didn't ows get a lot of money, more than they know what to do with?? now that we might still have some left, we must try something bigger. with more impact. and in order for it to be bigger with more impact. there can't be so many events. we need one big occupation. we have to all show up from all over to one place. bus/train/fly people in. and stay there. we have to streamline the energy, focus it, like a magnifying glass with the sun's heat.

Indeed.

So if we understand the proposition correctly, this person would love it if the entire population of Colorado Springs would shutter their homes, leave their jobs, and just camp out on the grounds of the National Mall. Why not? Who cares where 416,427 people go to use bathroom facilities? We're sure such a large crowd camping out for months on end wouldn't affect local businesses and traffic.

This is the strategy of Occupy Wall Street. Try to convince the average, hard-working American that they should ditch their jobs and join the maddening throng of the malcontents. While they're there, they'll get a heavy dose of brain-mashing from Marxists. Gosh, that sounds like fun!

Something tells us they won't be happy until we have pictures like this from our local law enforcement agencies. Don't buy their garbage. Marxism never ends well.

Occupy Wall Street Marxism: Grabbing What They Want

Trinity Wall Street, a historic church in New York City, is now the new target for the Occupy Wall Street protest. Quite simply, they don't want protesters squatting on their property.

But Occupy Wall Street isn't pleased. In fact, they're downright ticked off that Trinity, who in the beginning supported the protest, is now saying "Great idea, but not here."

You don't say "no" to Occupy Wall Street and get away with it.

Today: Saturday, December 17, 2011 -- the day Occupy Wall Street was going to "re-occupy" Wall Street by squatting on a lot owned by Trinity. Except Trinity isn't playing.

From The New York Times (emphasis ours):

And now the Occupy movement, after weeks of targeting big banks and large corporations, has chosen Trinity, one of the nation’s most prominent Episcopal parishes, as its latest antagonist. 

“We need more; you have more,” one protester, Amin Husain, 36, told a Trinity official on Thursday, during an impromptu sidewalk exchange between clergy members and demonstrators. “We are coming to you for sanctuary.”

Sanctuary? 

A sanctuary is a place of refuge and protection. It is used for those who are hunted down and persecuted. Has Occupy Wall Street reached this stage? Who is hunting them? The film crews from MSNBC? Stephen Colbert? The zoo?

And why would they need protection? It seems to us that those within an Occupy Wall Street encampment would certainly need protection, since there is plenty of crime around. (Big H/T to Big Government, who is keeping score.)

Meanwhile, Trinity wants nothing to do with a "re-occupy" land grab. In their words, they are calling it “wrong, unsafe, unhealthy and potentially injurious.”

The church's Reverend James H. Cooper says that Trinity has already done plenty when it came to supporting the protest. They gave them use of their location for meetings, use of bathrooms, even some hot chocolate and blankets.

But that's not enough for the protesters. Understand that no matter what Marxists get, it's never enough. They will always want more and have no problem either forcing people to give it to them or just outright steal it. Think of it as an en masse mugging.

From the same NYT article:

Rev. Michael Ellick, of Judson Memorial Church, a Greenwich Village congregation affiliated with the American Baptist Churches and the United Church of Christ, said Trinity needed to do more.

“Charity is not enough,” Mr. Ellick said. “Charity keeps things the same.”

Are you serious? When is charity not enough?

When you're dealing with Occupy Wall Street's warped reasoning skills.

Occupy Wall Street is complaining that "the rich" aren't paying their "fair share." But when questioned how exactly does one arrive at a "fair share" number -- they get angry because they've been caught in their own web of deceit. For a Marxist, there is no such number. A Marxist will take everything for redistribution.

Evidently, the same is true for charity. Giving what you can will never be enough.

Marxism wants EVERYTHING you own.

So for Trinity, it's not enough they provided lodging, bathroom facilities, drink, and warmth. The Occupy Wall Street protesters (being the Marxist brats that they are) want more. More! More! More!

As Trinity's pastor said (emphasis ours):

“Trinity has probably done as much or more for the protesters than any other institution in the area,” Mr. Cooper wrote on his parish Web site. “Calling this an issue of ‘political sanctuary’ is manipulative and blind to reality. Equating the desire to seize this property with uprisings against tyranny is misguided, at best. Hyperbolic distortion drives up petition signatures, but doesn’t make it right.”

No truer words have been spoken.

Occupy Wall Street Sours The Milk Street Cafe: Forces Closure

In its quest for championing the downtrodden, Occupy Wall Street managed to permanently close a business. The Milk Street Cafe is shutting down.

Isn't it ironic the Occupy Wall Street, which claims to represent the "99%," is actually the reason that the "99%" are now out of work? Because a city was too cowardly to throw out the squatters, a business (that was paying business taxes, mind you, and employing people who were paying taxes) is now gone. Finito. Kaput.

The cafe's owner, Mark Epstein, bemoaned the fact that he had to lay off 91 people. He first laid off 21 because his business slowed. After that, he repeatedly asked the city for help in removing the barricades, which in essence proved to be an obstacle to his customers. And, his pleas fell upon deaf ears.

So now the cafe is closing and an additional 70 people are laid off. All in time for the holidays! Ho, ho, ho... businesses have got to go! When Epstein was asked if he'd ever open a restaurant again in New York City, his answer was succinct. "Never."

Once again: The. Enemy. Is. Milk. Street. Cafe.

And the Occupy Wall Street protesters can now claim their scalp. Sure, it isn't a big catch like Goldman Sachs but a Marxist has to start somewhere.

Occupy Wall Street's Continued Attack On Hard-Working Americans: Port Shutdowns

Occupy Wall Street's continued assault on those who they purportedly "represent" reached its zenith on Monday, December 12 when they shut down three ports on the West coast: Oakland, California, Portland, Oregon, and Longview, Washington.

More Americans are starting to see the destructive agenda of Occupy Wall Street.

They're starting to realize that Occupy Wall Street is not including them in their "99%" message.

They're starting to realize the truth.

You. Are. The. Enemy.

Once again, Occupy's wrong-footed tactics targeted hard-working longshoremen and truck drivers; just in time to steal valuable holiday wages from them. Gosh. That's just immensely compassionate, don't you think?

From the lips of a truck driver:

"... Christian Vega, who in a frozen line outside the port in Oakland while the protestors blocked access. [says]  "It only hurts me and the other drivers. We have jobs and familiies to support and feed. Most of them don't."
Occupy Wall Street's West Coast Port Takeover Misses The Point, NJ.com Blog

You're doggone right, Mr. Vega. Most of the Occupy protesters are young twentysomethings who are still living at home with their parents. What do they care if they prevented you from getting a paycheck? They don't have jobs. So take that!

As the article above said, hassling longshoremen and truck drivers isn't the path toward winning friends and influencing people.

But it's an early Christmas gift for those of us who vehemently disagree with Occupy Wall Street and passionately fight its Marxist agenda.

Because we know the more they use these idiotic tactics, the more irritated Americans will be and will see them for what they truly are: Traitors and haters of the United States of America.

To the REPUBLIC!

Occupy Wall Street Goes After Goldman Sachs 12/12 at 7:30 AM in NYC

Occupy Wall Street continues its class warfare by targeting Goldman Sachs on 12/12/11. Because hating an investment company is surely the way to get our country out of its economic woes.

Goldman Sachs is certainly not a poster child for the perfect corporation. We know this and recognize it. However, neither is it evil incarnate.

But Occupy Wall Street sees it differently. (natch)

They've culled from their vast pool of talent an artistic rendering of Goldman Sachs. It is, (we kid you not) ... a squid. In the words of author and writer Matt Taibbi:

The first thing to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Goodness. Try eating seafood again at Red Lobster after that sweet visual.

So Occupy Wall Street in NYC is going to be kicking the sleepyheads up at about 5 AM so they can all trotsky (/snark) down to their local Goldman Sachs offices and give 'em a good mic check. And all the world will rest easier.

Someone better tell them not to grab a Burger King Whopper later on because after all, Goldman Sachs invested in them.

You're welcome.
