Watching the video coverage of the “Occupy Wall Street” business has made me sick. These people aren’t interested in anything but undermining our country. These are Marxists, plain and simple, and they are operating at the behest of Obama and his friends. This is a complete set-up, and you need to prepare yourself for the revolution these people desire. It’s time to prepare ourselves for what is coming. The leftists are actually planning a revolution, and this is the build-up. Let’s be honest: We will not survive this if we don’t permit ourselves to see what these people intend. Here are their absurd proposed demands, as published on their site with my response:
Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.
Why not fifty? Why not one-thousand? Arbitrary wage-setting increases poverty. MORONS.
Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.
Obama has it coming. It will result in lower life expectancies and higher costs, with poorer care, on average. Move to Cuba to sample.
Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.
Money for Nothing (and the chicks for free?) Yes, the world will provide you a living without you producing anything of value. Idiots.
Demand four: Free college education.
Go pick it from the tree on which it grows. Go ahead. Losers.
Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.
Fossil fuels ended? So you want to return to the stone age? That’s the current alternative, and for the near-term future.
Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.
Who pays? How? What good is infrastructure for people who neither work nor produce?
Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.
So, truly back to the stone age. How many Americans do you goons intend to murder?
Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.
We have those already. Try history.
Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.
Sorry, that means you wish to destroy our country. You’re a pathetic minority using bully tactics. SCREW YOU!
Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.
What’s your model here? Cuba? Iran?
Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.
We know, we know: You believe money grows on trees. Too bad. Pay your bills. The rest of us do. You have no valid excuses. If you’re able-bodied enough to participate in this idiotic “movement,” you are able to work.
Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.
I have a better idea: Why don’t you avoid indebtedness you cannot afford?
Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.
I know, and you want it to be a recorded vote so you can intimidate workers who are smart enough to know the unions will mostly just cut their throats and live off their “contributions.”
These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.
And flying monkeys will shoot out of your butts! Grow up, you present the demands of looters and thugs.
I’ve got news for you geniuses: If you try this, I will oppose you. If you try to coerce this outcome, I will defend against it. You’d better slink back to Mommy and Daddy’s basements and re-evaluate your miserable existence. I will not be calling government to protect me from you. Your pal Obama won’t make me wince in pain. He can set you dogs upon me all day long, but he’s not going to be able to pull it off. Sorry, but I don’t live by your permission. You’re treasonous filth.
Take a look at Demand #14 in the comments LOL
Those whose greatest aspiration in life is to be subservient wards of the state want to dictate our futures? Do these absolute and utter idiots not know that the rewards of capitalism funds their useless, selfish lifestyles?
Without productive, working Americans, there would be no money to fund their utopian dreams of universal mediocracy.
We are unlike any other place on earth. We are citizens of an exceptional country, and we understand that to remain exceptional, we must live up to our individual responsibilities as we strive to attain our individual goals no matter what adversity we encounter on the way.
It is the journey that makes life worthwhile and makes us into exceptional beings…not the rewards we gather along the way.
These demands were written by someone who has either never had a job or never made much more than minimum wage. He, also, probably doesn't have a net worth more than $100. Most of them are probably college students who obviously aren't learning anything. Thier "economics" professors are all Marxists who also never had real jobs. One day, hopefully these kids will wake up and realize how stupid they were.
I might actually agree with them on Demand #10 (paper ballot voting trail). Every electronic voting machine should have at least two copies of their ballots printed; 0ne copy for their own verification and a second the voter submits into a locked box for recount purposes. If the numbers don't correlate then the electronic votes would be deemed fraudulent.
I just read something that sent a chill up my spine. This Cloward-Piven Strategy (behind the current protests in New York, for one) is a far bigger threat to America than I ever imagined. It is far more widespread than I suspected. Maybe some of you know about it, but I feel sick to my stomach. Obama is the tip of the iceberg. This is not just a few hired protestors, like we've been making light of…
The New Reagan Revolution, pages 117 on… read it. Please.
Barack Hussein Obama, Jan, is more than the "tip of the iceberg". He's the turtle atop the fencepost, carefully installed there by George Soros, et al.
Between the adminisitrative-bureaucratic regulators from the top and the rioters from the bottom, we are, indeed, witnessing a Cloward & Piven implosion in progress.
Mark, you just have to quit hedging and hemming and pussyfooting around subjects like this. Tell us what you really think.
Here's my scenario. First, check out a map showing where the many, many Occupations are slated to take hold. Coast-to-coast, and even in oddly small-potatoes locations. Hmm. Next, imagine that one day soon, when a hard core is in place, these occupiers flash-mob NATIONWIDE RIOTING. Now the obscure locations begin to make sense because, geographically, an impression of "complete" US occupation has been mocked up. Sure, when the riots break out, it's actually only a handful of activists lighting bonfires and throwing bricks through shop windows, but it's EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. And then the mainstream media begins covering it, turning it into a "narrative," declaring the violence "justified" and "giving voice to the true will of the American people," and "overwhelming" and "history-changing." Of course, at this point the true majority of us begin raising hell and fighting back. And that's just precisely why these agent provocateurs have rioted, in the first place. Because now, in the wake of such "unprecedented events," fedgov is "forced" to declare martial law from sea to shining sea…
I expect Obama to win no matter who runs against him, it is fixed already, and in the end, that will be true justice for all the idiots and marxist who voted him in, they should be forced to live in his socialist world, most of these people who are out protesting are too young to know what communism and socialism are, they read books and see movies and think it looks romantic and cool, let them experience it first hand, then they will be out there trying to overthrow the dictator and regain what we have had for over 200 years. As for me and mine, I plan to hunker down and let them do whatever they want, I can't stop them and I am above those types of people anyway, I refuse to sink to their level of stupidity, if anyone steps foot on my land, they will not leave,
Mary, Don't give up just yet. There's still time, and there are people who are willing to stand.
So are they asking for FULL EMPLOYMENT like Hitler instituted? Sounds GREAT, until you realize that the ill and the elderly are not fed because they cannot work. And all stay-home mothers MUST take their children to State mandated daycare because being a MOM is considered a non-job.
This collection of malcontent, bottom feeders, that I would liken to a bitter version of the Land of Misfit Toys from my beloved Rudolph special, causes me some fear. Not a physical one, because while they do not believe in guns, at least in the hands of a citizen, I do, which is why I own several. That is not to suggest I am leaning towards violence, I would choose to avoid it by every measure possible, but also to say I would not run from it if pushed by principal to defend my rights, my constitution and private property. Allan West said in his first major speech, speaking to military members, former and current, "there is no statute of limitations on that oath." and I said that oath more sincerely than anything I've ever uttered. Back to my point, before I wander too far, if I haven't already. I do fear their message. Such an enormous segment of our society has become a part of the entitlement class, they are uninformed, ignorant, and their false resentments are encouraged by their political "leaders", they are illegals, whose illegitimate calls for rights and entitlements are supported by those same supposed leaders.And this isn't the extent of it, but when I add up all the forces against us, it is overwhelming, and I look around, wondering if my country is up to the fight. John Adams said that there was not a democracy that did not commit suicide, and I feel as if I am watching us, collectively, going over the cliff. Some portions gleefully skipping towards it, pulling us, who are resistant, right along with them. Now, having said all that, I still will not quit. I will not stop doing all that is in my power and rights to prevent the complete subversion of our founding documents. They will fight us in every way possible, they will pervert language, they will provoke violence, and they will try to use their media to make us feel outnumbered and discouraged. The left does not care about it's hypocrisy, it just keeps moving and answers for nothing. But I won't give up, and I hope that nobody does, no matter where the fight takes us. I'll close with a portion of my favorite quote by John Adams, in a letter to his wife, prior to the signing of the Declaration, as I tell myself this everyday and hope it resonates with you as it has me. "“You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.”
"How many Americans do you goons intend to murder?"
All the socialist leeches who would never dare touch an icky firearm are going to take on all the rest of the — armed — citizenry.
A strategy entirely worthy of the famous last words, "Hey, y'all — watch this!"
