Dems and the Left Will Own the Violence

President Obama, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Al Gore, Michael Moore, the standard group of Lefties and their celebrity minions, and registered democrats of all stripes have either by annunciation or quiet acceptance tied themselves in support to the Occupy Wall St (OWS) protests and the off-shoots in other cities across America.  More importantly, they’’ve all tied themselves to violent rhetoric that seems to bubble underneath these protests. 

Already, several instances of violent confrontations have been reported.  There have been multiple efforts to attack Bank of America offices.  There was the confrontation to gain access to the Air & Space Museum in DC.  There was an effort by a large mob to gain access to the New York Stock Exchange.   There was an effort to disrupt the flow of traffic across the Brooklyn Bridge; scenes of the rejection of authority abound.

Hollywood Worries About Weak Box Office

But the truly alarming news is how very weak the North American box office performed again. I’ve been reporting how younger males — which used to be Hollywood’s target audience — have been no longer consistently (and indiscriminately) going to the movies since August. Continue reading

Democrats Abound at “Occupy Raleigh”

Brad Miller (D) US House of Representatives – NC District 13 made another appearance at the Occupy Raleigh event at the Capitol. Rep. Miller attended the first meeting at Moore Square two weeks ago. I wonder how many occupiers know that Rep. Miller consistently blocked a committee vote to release legislation out for a floor vote to audit the Federal Reserve in the US House. Rep. Miller’s hypocrisy knows no boundaries as he protects the nation’s largest private bank and then attends rallies whose purpose is completely contrary to his record.

News & Observer Report

U.S. Rep. Brad Miller of Raleigh, who arrived in mid-afternoon, said he was sympathetic to the protestors’ anger. “Protest movements don’t start in the legislature, they start with grievances,” said Miller, a Democrat. “I think they are mad at the right people.”

Miller deflected questions about whether the occupy movement was the left-wing counterpart of the Tea Party movement, and he said he wasn’t sure if the movement would help the Democratic Party. “It appears to be an independent protest, and I don’t know where it will eventually end up,” he said.

How Many Stimulus Jobs Are Needed to Turn Off A Light?

Thirty years’ experience to manage a team to turn off light bulbs at NC State? And then the occupiers complain about the cost of tuition.

How many more jobs will be needed to unscrew the curly fry light bulbs that the government has mandated we use?

Great job Hans and Joel.

Raleigh Occupiers Arrested at the Capitol

Civil disobedience to make a point or petulant children wanting a personal bailout? The News & Observer put the number of protesters in Raleigh at 3000. WRAL put the number at 100 (see below). I would estimate the number at 500 at its peak but reporting on the occupiers by the media seems to be meeting the same standards as reporting on the TEA Party.

No one was ever arrested at any TEA Party rallies in Raleigh. As stated at the rally, the organizers had set up a support network when they were arrested. This was planned as part of the event and America will see the consequences of this movement unfold in the upcoming days.

Stacie Borrello at the Occupy Raleigh Rally

The following information about Stacie Borrello is found at Indyweek.com:

Stacie Borrello is a writer, blogger (liberallamppost.com; addictinginfo.org) and at-home mom from Fuquay-Varina whose first reaction to the OccupyWallStreet movement was, Raleigh needs to be part of this — I hope somebody organizes Raleigh.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yiVcC-QVk8

Stacie Borrello’s Talking Points:

Ms. Borrello’s description of “Peaceful Revolutionaries” on the Worldwide Day of Rebellion seems to be contradictory. I wonder if Lenin felt that his useful idiots were peaceful revolutionaries?

“Workers of the world unite” – straight from the Communist Manifesto.

Occupy Raleigh – Part 1

This is an interview prior to the start of the Occupy Raleigh Rally or Worldwide Day of Rebellion. The Grand Union Flag as stated in the movie was an attempt to compromise the Colonies with England. The speakers at the event were not willing to compromise.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkAe4xEHUEE

Fox Noise and the end of the TEA Party’s influence were just two of the strange sound bites that I heard. The attendees are not on the same intellectual level as the people who attend TEA Party rallies. But I could feel secure at this event as one elderly lady stated: there is no violence at this rally unlike the violence seen at TEA Party rallies.

Compare and Contrast the TEA Party and Occupy Wall Street

I attended the Occupy Raleigh event today (October 15, 2011) in order to film the four hours of speakers and singers. Here are some observations of other Raleigh TEA Party events vs. Occupy Raleigh.

1. TEA Party events start with a prayer. Occupiers do not mention the Lord or church. God was mentioned one time at the Occupy Raleigh event.

2. TEA Party events have the American and State flags present at the podium. Occupiers do not have flags present at the podium.

3. TEA Party events start with a pledge of allegiance. Occupiers do not say the pledge of allegiance since they do not display the flag.

Day of Rebellion – Early Reports

Protesters hit the City of London

Protesters descended on the City of London today as part of worldwide   demonstrations against corporate greed and cutbacks.

Inspired by America’s “Occupy Wall Street” and Spain’s “Indignants”, people took to the streets in Sydney, Hong Kong and Tokyo in the opening   hours of the unprecedented global outcry.

 by America’s “Occupy Wall Street” and Spain’s “Indignants”, people took to the streets in Sydney, Hong Kong and Tokyo in the opening hours of the unprecedented global outcry.

Anger over unemployment and opposition to the financial elite hung over the protests in 951 cities in 82 countries, which coincided with a Paris meeting of G20 financial powers pre-occupied by the eurozone debt crisis.

In London, about 1,000 protesters gathered outside St Paul’s Cathedral and struggled against police officers on horseback to enter Paternoster Square, the home of the London Stock Exchange.

So Obama Did Listen to Rev. Wright

President Obama has sent 100 soldiers to Uganda to capture or assassinate Joseph Kony and other senior leader of the LRA. The LRA or Lord’s Resistance Army are Christians fighting Muslims in Africa. Not really. The LRA has been terrorizing portions of Africa for over 20 years.

Two questions:

  1. Why is Obama sending troops to Africa now? The first request for assistance was made to Obama in November 2010.
  2. Is assassination now the official foreign policy of this administration: who else is on the list of 20?

There Goes the Euro

On Thursday, Fitch downgraded the creditworthiness of UK banks Lloyds and RBS, and also Switzerland’s UBS. As the banks start to fail in the European Union and the credit rating downgrades negatively impacts the ability to turn around their collective economies, the Euro is starting to spiral downward.

S&P downgrades Spain by one notch on weak growth outlook

Ratings agency Standard and Poor’s downgraded the long-term credit rating of Spain by one notch on Friday, knocking the euro down by a third of US cent as it followed hard on the heels of a similar downgrade by Fitch last week.

“The significance of the backlash in Wake County’s school board elections is clear”

The significance of the backlash in Wake County’s school board elections is clear and ominous for Art Pope and his allies, the Koch brothers and their Tea Party movement.  North Carolina has just provided the first tangible evidence of the political merger between the growing populist protests against Wall Street excesses and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in a new kinetic political coalition aimed at the heart of Art Pope’s radical agenda in the South. 

The above quote was made by Michael Carmichael in an article that he wrote for the Huffington Post. Mr. Carmichael is a “visiting scholar” at Duke University. This is another example of the excellence coming out of our universities as currently on display at Occupy [Insert City] around the country.

There are lessons to be learned from the “victory” in Wake County.
