Trickle Down Tyranny (18 page)

ACORN is still around—this time as New York Communities for Change (NYCC)—and they’re still in the business of funding illicit activities in order to undermine the United States. They were revealed to be providing key organization services for the OWS movement. NYCC had been paying protesters to attend OWS demonstrations every day, despite NYCC’s lying to the press, telling reporters they weren’t. Insiders had outed NYCC, and the group scrambled to do damage control, shredding papers, destroying boxes of supplies with ACORN emblazoned all over them, threatening and firing employees who told the truth.

Stephen Lerner, one of the commie rats who organized the demonstrations, spoke to the audience at Van Jones’s Take Back the American Dream Conference in Washington, D.C., on October 3, 2011. In his speech he outlined the plans for expanding the demonstrations, including plans to “visit” millionaires’ homes. That’s the same thing the SEIU did in May, 2010, when 14 busloads of union mob thugs invaded the property of Bank of America general counsel Greg Baer and terrorized his teenage son in order to protest the activity of big banks.

The SEIU was active in the OWS movement, too. In mid-November, as the weather began to change, the 2.1-million member Service Employees International Union showed up at the Occupy D.C. encampment to help the demonstrators get settled in for winter. The AFL-CIO lets Occupy D.C. protesters take showers at a gym it owns near the demonstration site, and nurses have showed up to provide health care support.

Other leftist groups are coming out of the woodwork to support the rabble in the streets.

Are you beginning to get the picture?

Are you starting to understand that this is only the first stage of a radical, potentially violent takeover of our country by Barack Obama and the forces of the left with whom he stands?

They’re even using the phrase “Days of Rage” to describe the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. They’re also being compared to the “Arab Spring.” Former 1960s leftist radical and ACORN founder Wade Rathke compared the two directly, using the rhetoric of Islamist radicals when he called the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations “anti-banking jihad.” These radicals never went away, never changed their goals. They still want nothing less than the overthrow of our capitalist system.

Do you hear what I’m saying?

Do you realize that they’re emulating their Nazi forebears with these tactics?

Germany was in economic turmoil after World War I. The communists were trying to take over the country, doing exactly what the Occupy Wall Street crowd was doing. The only difference is that the German communists were more violent. Out of the chaos and violence a group calling itself the Nazi Party emerged to battle the communists. Out of that struggle, Adolf Hitler came to power.

I am very worried that unless the authorities step in and put an end to these Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, we’re going to see radical skinheads and Nazis come out of the woodwork and start street battles with these commie rats. This has the potential to lead to the emergence in America of a radical leader like Adolf Hitler.

It will also give an excuse to Barack Obama to impose martial law in America for the purpose of consolidating his power and that of the leftists and union thugs who are his allies in these demonstrations.

Nancy Pelosi, one of the most corrupt capitalists in Washington, doesn’t seem to realize what she’s saying. While I predict she will soon be coming up for investigation because she was instrumental in getting federal money directed to her brother-in-law as part of the “green energy” slush fund scandal, she’s encouraging the Occupy Wall Street protesters, saying “God bless them!”

Little do Obama, Pelosi, Emanuel, and friends know that the support of the rabble will soon backfire on them, as it did in the French Revolution. Soon the attackers will be attacked. Once heads start to roll, it’s hard to stop them.

I predict that Red October in the White House will soon come to mark the beginning of the end for the most subversive administration in American history.

Mob Rule

The Occupy Wall Street “protests” are nothing more than an extension of the tactic of choice for the American left for most of the past century: mob rule.

Here are a few examples.

I’ve already told you about the 14 busloads of SEIU union members who terrorized Bank of America lawyer Greg Baer’s teenage son in order to protest large U.S. banks.

Were you aware of this one?

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington was closed down on Saturday, October 8, 2011, by antiwar demonstrators who were protesting an exhibit about drone aircraft—the same aircraft the Obama administration these demonstrators support used to illegally kill American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki.

The unions also unleashed a mob in the port of Longview, Washington. More than 500 longshoremen broke into a guard shack and took security guards hostage. They proceeded to cut brake lines on trains in the terminal and dumped grain waiting to be loaded and shipped. Longview police chief Jim Duscha said, “A lot of protesters were telling us this is only the start.”
²³

The Government-Media Complex didn’t bother to report the incident.

Barack Obama was silent, refusing to criticize these union terrorists.

They’re even using the mob to beef up the president’s employment numbers: Almost half of the 103,000 “new” jobs in the September jobs report came because striking union workers at Verizon came back to work.

The leftist creeps who support Barack Obama are taking their cue from the labor unions and the totalitarian socialist ideologues of the 1930s. They’re targeting middle America in an ongoing assault on our freedom that we haven’t seen the likes of in years.

I’ve seen it coming for a long time, but now it’s right out in the open.

When they’re not physically assaulting their fellow citizens and destroying property, they’re trying to provoke street war with Americans through abusive and provocative language. On Labor Day 2011, Obama vowed again to stand with unionized state employees, the same group that resorted to mob rule—trashing the Wisconsin capitol to protest the policies of elected officials, showing up at the houses of government employees whose policies they disagree with in order to intimidate their families.

Let me remind you about what happened in Wisconsin.

In November 2010, Scott Walker won the election for governor of Wisconsin, and his Republican Party gained a 19–14 majority in the previously Democratic-controlled state senate. One of his first acts as governor was to introduce legislation requiring Wisconsin public employees to pay part of their retirement and health-care benefits costs. The new law also limited collective bargaining rights for those employees.

Obama stuck his nose in the state’s business the day after the legislation was introduced. With all the civility of a 1930s union thug, the president called Governor Walker’s attempt to bring Wisconsin’s budget under control by introducing sanity back into the budget negotiations “an assault on unions.”
²⁵
His administration then helped organize the union protests that effectively shut down Wisconsin’s state government for weeks as Democratic state senators fled to a nearby state with their tails between their legs, illegally short-circuiting the democratic process.

At the same time, many of the state’s teachers staged a strike. They called in sick in such large numbers that all the schools in the state capital of Madison and many others cities around the state were closed down. Many of the “sick” teachers, along with the students they were supposed to be teaching, showed up at the capitol to protest the fact that they actually had to contribute to their health-care and retirement benefits. Doctors who supported the teachers’ position followed them there, writing out medical excuses for the teachers who were staging an illegal work stoppage at the expense of the children and Wisconsin taxpayers.

They were actually doing their students a favor by getting them out of the classroom. In Milwaukee’s public schools, the teachers are doing a typically lousy job: Black students in that district have the lowest graduation rate of any school district in the nation.
²⁶

It wasn’t long before AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka showed up in Madison to shout at his followers as he railed against Walker’s initiative. Trumka didn’t call Walker a Nazi, but many of the liberals in the crowd he addressed carried signs that did.

Trumka is the president of the AFL-CIO. He officially joined forces with Obama in a Big Labor-Big Government alliance on Labor Day 2010, in Milwaukee. One blogger described the event as “a midterm shotgun marriage of Beltway brass knuckles and Big Labor brawn.”
²⁷
Trumka is also the former president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). In 1993, Trumka advised striking miners to “kick the s– out of” anyone who disagreed with what the UMWA was demanding from management.

Trumka had replaced the SEIU’s Andy Stern as the White House union insider. In Trumka’s words, “I’m at the White House a couple times a week . . . two, three times a week. I have a conversation every day with someone in the White House or in the administration. Every day.”
²⁸

Trumka joined with another group, Organizing for America (OfA), in making sure the voices of the people of Wisconsin were drowned out by union organizers and other leftists. OfA is an arm of the Democratic National Committee that supports Obama’s “agenda for change.”

How closely aligned is Obama with these thugs? You can sign up to participate in a leftist mob at the website BarackObama.com. Just enter your zip code and the website will find a mob you can join in order to protest democracy.

The president is not about to abandon an arrangement that sees taxpayer money pay public worker salaries, which fund union dues, which then come back to Obama and other Democrats in the form of campaign donations. It’s a blatant conflict of interest when Democrats “negotiate” with the very unions whose members pay their salaries and donate to their campaigns.

They’re negotiating with their friends. They’re not trying to manage taxpayer money, they’re giving it away in the form of highly generous salaries—teachers work about 180 days a year for full-time pay—and lavish benefits packages that have helped push state and federal budgets into bankruptcy.

Democrats care nothing about taxpayers except that they’re an endless stream of revenue that can be channeled to promote liberal interests and bribe liberal public employees into voting a Democratic ticket.

Obama’s ties to his union cronies represent a direct conflict of interest for him where his constitutional duties as president of the United States are concerned. He consistently goes against the will and the best interests of the American people, and his anti-American agenda has got to be revealed. Events like the Wisconsin public employees dispute bring the issue and the deep corruption of the Obama administration into focus. The contrast between the thuggish language of Obama himself and his confederate Richard Trumka, compared with the even-tempered, rational Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, reveals just how rabidly this administration and the unions hate middle America, and the lengths they will go to in order to reduce our say in how our government conducts the people’s business.

What happened in Wisconsin is being played out again and again in the increased union activity that Obama is drumming up as part of the 2012 election campaign. That election is ultimately about whether president Barack Obama will be allowed by the American people to continue his illegal and unconstitutional takeover of our nation through an unchecked expansion of government, or whether we the people will take back control from a leftist chief executive who is determined that we shall no longer have the right to govern ourselves but will be held captive by a government that is assuming control over every area of our lives, from personal and medical decisions to how our money is spent to what kinds of cars we can drive and what kinds of lightbulbs we can use.

What’s going to happen if we let the administration and the union thugs continue to cause chaos in the streets of America as we move toward the election of 2012?

Let me make it clear to you just how high the stakes are in this fight.

We’ve been asking “Where are the moderate Muslims?” Now we have to ask, “Where are the moderate labor union members?” Moderate labor union members—like moderate Muslims—are too intimidated to speak out against the unions’ policies of protecting bad teachers through tenure laws. Teachers know what will happen if they speak out against thuggish behavior of unions, just as Muslims know what will happen if they speak out against radical Islam.

As I see it, the Obama administration is raising the level of the rhetoric and intimidation to incite the people, to encourage them to take part in mob warfare that requires that the administration step in, possibly to declare martial law.

The parallels to the Nazis’ rise to power are ominous. What’s happening with Obama and his radical accomplices—especially the labor unions—is very similar to what Hitler’s Brownshirts did as the Nazis rose to power.

They don’t stop there, though. The out-of-control spending, runaway inflation, communist thugs inciting the people—these all echo what was happening in Germany in the 1930s.

I can’t see Obama letting this crisis, which his own government has created, go to waste.
