Can You REALLY Get Paid to Protest on Wall Street? Yes, You Can!

The term astroturf when referring to the recent rise of the Tea Party was coined by (at the time) Senate Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi. It was meant to demean the movement of patriotic, Constitution-loving citizens who were demanding that Congress rein in spending and vote against what amounted to the massive government take-over of the U.S. private health care system.

Of course, Pelosi’s definition didn’t hold water as all across the nation small groups of dads, moms, grandparents, and young adults of all different ethnic backgrounds, religious persuasions, and political sympathies gathered together in unity to put legislators feet to the fire with the Constitution and love for their country and freedom backing them up.

For this, Tea Party supporters were castigated by the liberal media outlets – called all sorts of  names, including names which referred to perverted sexual practices.

But what is fueling the current Occupy Wall Street protests? Those same media outlets might have you believe this is a spontaneous movement, gushing something like “Now THIS is democracy at work!”…

Is it really? Then why do many of these protestors get paid to do it?

Yes, you too can get paid to protest those greedy, mean, rich people who work to make a living… as advertised on Craigslist.

Below is a screen grab of the ad placed by the Working Families Party, a far left political party which is well-known to be heavily funded by big labor union organizations.  Again we have unions trying to use their considerable political muscle – and now they are paying willing young people to help them. For a price.

It’s also basically ACORN 2.0, run by many of ACORN’s former employees.

 

Van Jones leading chant at Occupy Wall Street Protest

Former Obama Administration Green Czar Van Jones was video taped recently leading a group of “Occupy Wall Street” protestors in a little chant. Not surprising considering other noted communist idols such as Frances Fox-Piven have also shown up to egg the protestors on in their efforts to annoy New Yorkers and damage the environment in the immediate vicinity.

I cannot imagine that the administration of the President of the United States would not have done a background check on anyone being considered for a job at the White House. Van Jones’ open communism has never really been a secret except with the Obama worshiping mainstream media.

They know Obama’s time is short in the White House. That is why they are doing this now. Looking at the timing of the vote to enact a surtax on the rich it’s not hard to put two and two together to know that the White House is in lockstep with the protestors and their leader’s plans to push the government further into socialism.

So, all that said… here he is. Van Jones in all his glory.

Communist Cult Leader Frances Fox-Piven Leads Wall Street Robots in Senseless Chant of Opposition

I knew it was only a matter of time before some communist “educator” like Frances Fox-Piven showed up at the Wall Street protests, but I never imagined the level of brainwashing her followers would display for all the world to see. Take a look at this very telling video – do they even have a mind of their own?

Repeat after me…

Uh… WOW. That is creepy on so many levels.

Barack Obama, A One Term President – In His Own Words

‎”I will be held accountable. I’ve got four years and a year from now, I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress, but there’s still going to be some pain out there … If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.” President Barack Obama, 2009

WELL, THANK YOU, MR. OBVIOUS.

Group Photo Etiquette…

I have to concur with The Kitchen Cabinet – waving after a press conference or campaign speech, and of course when getting off Air Force one after one of those vacations, perfectly okay. Waving in a group photo – not so much. (Click on photo below to enlarge – and enjoy!)

What? Me worry?

‘OnStar’ May STILL Be Tracking You…

If you own a newer vehicle you may have included an ‘OnStar’ service. Good for you (if you can afford it in this economy). It’s one of the many cool gadgets and services that are all the rage in a tech savvy world.

But what happens when you decide you don’t want that extra bill to pay? Well, just try and unsubscribe… but don’t count on them quitting their surveillance of your whereabouts. There’s just too much money in it for them to keep track of you.

According to OnStar’s TOS (Terms Of Service), you must actually personally contact OnStar to opt out of their tracking ‘service’, because even if you have stopped paying their bill, they continue to track your actions in your vehicle and share that information with ‘third parties’.

If OnStar were a boyfriend, wouldn’t that qualify as stalking?

Don’t Stingray Me, Bro?

Constitutional violation issues are being raised on a technology which can be used by law enforcement to find the whereabouts of, well, pretty much anyone carrying a cell phone.

Stingray is a device which has the capability to track the location of someone’s cell phone even when the cell phone is not in use to make a call.

If used properly, this technology could go a long way to defend our country at home or bring criminals to justice… The problem is that some law enforcement officers believe they don’t need a warrant to use it.

The sensible view would be that if anyone is going to ‘break into’ ANY of my personal property (even if it just my cell phone), they better have a warrant. AND probable cause to believe I am committing some sort of crime.

You be the judge:

Paul Krugman: “Death Panels” and taxes will fix the debt crisis…”

Well, we tried to warn you. But you wouldn’t listen.

Now Paul Krugman is admitting the idea of the “Death Panel” is actually TRUE…

Of course, AFTER he admitted the concept was a reality, he went on to ‘clarify’ what he meant, but really what it boils down to is that the government will be able to decide who gets treatment and who does not get it based on the projected value of their lives, which will put the government in the unique position of making a value judgement about a person’s life.
