CNSNews.com is reporting that SEIU is openly and directly organizing a series of #Occupy actions to take place in DC starting this Monday December 5th. (h/t @mperkins37)

The SEIU Local 1991, based out of Miami Gardens, Fla., is the contact organization for the weeklong event “to show Congress what democracy looks like, shine a light on corporate greed and human suffering it has caused, and demand justice for the 99 percent,” according to the draft itinerary.

“Take Back the Capitol will feature three full days of spirited actions, speak-outs, protests and entertainment,” the schedule says. Breakfast and dinner are listed every day of the protest.

“People’s Camp, Teach-Ins, Cultural Tent, Model Sharing” are on the agenda for Tuesday. Also that day, protesters are called on to “‘Occupy’ Congressional offices until closure” and to “Depart in TEAMS to VISIT Congress and seek commitments to unemployment insurance extension and jobs not cuts for the 99%.”

More to come on this…

WE ARE THE O% http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/12/we-are-the-o/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/12/we-are-the-o/#comments Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:50:16 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10375 Speaking truth to The Occupation. Here is your new #ows tagline and logo:

They claim they are the 99%, but in truth, all they were meant to do was create the dramatic backdrop upon which the media could carry the Progressive narrative that the top 1% of evil-greedy-capitalists are to blame for all the ills of society.

This was all a campaign program designed to give the Democrats a talking point/bludgeon leading into the 2012 elections.

While some of the victim/dupes who participated in this fake movement actually thought they were part of the so called 99%, in fact, they were never anything more than the Obama%!

UPDATE: A variation on the theme

RED CROSS/CRESCENT WANTS TO POLICE VIDEO GAMES http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/12/red-crosscrescent-wants-to-police-video-games/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/12/red-crosscrescent-wants-to-police-video-games/#comments Fri, 02 Dec 2011 21:13:55 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10372

Gizmodo is reporting that the Red Cross & Red Crescent is pursuing an international law against the depiction of war crimes in video games:

The International Committee of the Red Cross is mandated under the Geneva Conventions to protect the victims of international and internal armed conflicts. That includes war wounded, prisoners, refugees, civilians, and other non-combatants. The question they debated this week is whether their mandate should be extended to the virtual victims of video game wars.

During this week’s 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva, Switzerland, members of the committee held a side event to discuss the influence video games have on public perception and action.

My god this betrays the fantasy world they occupy. How about squaring away international law against REAL Jihad, and other REAL atrocities that ARE really occurring, for real. Then move on to the World government policing of the depiction of vulgar fantasies and other thought crimes.

Here’s a place to start, why does the Red Crescent allow their vehicles to be utilized by Jihadis during ritual intifadas?

On May 17, 2002, an explosive belt was found in a Red Crescent ambulance at a checkpoint near Ramallah. The bomb, the same type generally used in suicide bombings, was hidden under a gurney on which a sick child was lying. The driver, Islam Jibril, was already wanted by the IDF, and admitted that this was not the first time that an ambulance had been used to transport explosives or terrorists. According to Jibril, he was given the bomb by Mahmoud Titi, a member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, which the U.S. State Department has listed as a terrorist organization, and which is affiliated with Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement.

The bomb was removed from the ambulance and detonated in the presence of a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross. In a statement issued the same day, the ICRC said that it “understands the security concerns of the Israeli authorities, and has always acknowledged their right to check ambulances, provided it does not unduly delay medical evacuations.” The sick passengers in the ambulance were escorted by soldiers to a nearby hospital.

In January, 2002, Wafa Idris blew herself up on the crowded Jaffa Street in Jerusalem, becoming one of the first female suicide bombers. She was an ambulance driver for the Palestinian Red Crescent, as was Mohammed Hababa, the Tanzim operative who sent her on her mission. She left the West Bank by way of an ambulance.

In October, 2001, Nidal Nazal, a Hamas operative in Kalkilya, was arrested by the IDF. He was an ambulance driver for the Palestinian Red Crescent, and information indicates that he exploited the unrestricted travel to serve as a messenger between the Hamas headquarters in several West Bank towns.

Here’s more on that.

OFFSHORE GOV’T WASTE ALERT: US SPENT $200,000.00 IN UK DEVELOPING CRAPPY HEAT INDEX APP http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/offshore-govt-waste-alert-us-spent-200000-00-in-uk-developing-crappy-heat-index-app/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/offshore-govt-waste-alert-us-spent-200000-00-in-uk-developing-crappy-heat-index-app/#comments Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:58:56 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10369

Gizmodo is reporting:

How much would you guess a little app to generate the local heat index, and provide appropriate “tips.” Price tag? $200,000….

…The app, courtesy of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, does extremely little. Its interface looks like a dog’s ass, if that dog read a fifth of an HTML manual from 1994…

…There’s no explanation. It was coded by a UK firm for probably 300 times the money it should have. Government waste and incompetence, at best. Something crooked at worst.

The “tips” include “Drink Fluids,” which is ironic since the UK, where the app was developed, just outlawed the claim that water can rehydrate you.

The Elder of Ziyon reports: Israeli dancing group dropped from festival after refusing to change their name

When the participants’ names were released, Esther Blumenthal-Skop of Machol was surprised to learn that the name of the Machol Israeli Dancing Club had been truncated to Machol Group and all references to Israel had been removed with the club being described as a Jewish dance group.

No change had been made to other groups including Chinese, Hungarian, Armenaian and Ukrarnian Traditional Folk Dances and the Irish Reel and Jigs.

In her submission to VEOHRC, Blumenthal-Skop said she asked for an explanation and was told that the organiser would not be held responsible for consequences if the words “Israel” or “Israeli” were used to describe the group.

Interesting how Muslim-jihad-terrorism allows people the space to discriminate against Israelis.

The Elder of Ziyon points to the term Zionophobia.

I think it should simply be called “Zionphobia.”

COULD H.R. 3131 DESIGNATE CODEPINK A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION? http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/could-h-r-3131-designate-codepink-a-terrorist-organization/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/could-h-r-3131-designate-codepink-a-terrorist-organization/#comments Wed, 23 Nov 2011 16:04:07 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10356 U.S. Representative Gus Bilirakis [Florida’s 9th District] has introduced H.R. 3131 which would instruct the Secretary of State determine if Hamas Flotilla organizers should be designated as terrorist organizations:

H.R. 3131: To direct the Secretary of State to submit a report on whether any support organization that participated in the planning or execution of the recent Gaza flotilla attempt should be designated as a foreign terrorist organization and any actions taken by the Department of State to express gratitude to the government of Greece for preventing the Gaza flotilla from setting sail in contravention of Israel’s legal blockade of Gaza, and for other purposes.

Does this mean CodePink and the Progressive Democrats of America could be officially designated as terrorist organizations? I’d settle for convicting them for aiding designated terror groups.

After all, they openly and proudly organized the American wing of the Hamas Flotilla.

 

Will Progressive Jews in Congress like Jan Schakowsky and Debbie Wasserman Schultz co-sponsor and support this legislation? Or will they let the Jews of Israel swing just to protect their Progressive friends? Now is the time for them to be called to account. Are they for or against what their Progressive brethren are doing? Silence is consent.

The bill does have bi-partisan support.

Cosponsors:

FLOTILLA FLASHBACK: Here is video of Jihadis on the Flotilla chanting about killing the Jews.

Here’s something you won’t see texted in Sharia-compliant Pakistan: “GR8 having my weenie in your SnatchPatch U AssWhore! They don’t call U the Cock Queen 4 nut’n”

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority doesn’t want Pakistanis to be able to text the following words to each other…

The list includes

ASS WHORE
BUDWEISER

G-UNIT
POCKET POOL
SHAWTYPIMP
SNATCH PATCH

#OCCUPY CHICAGO STORMS, TAKES OVER BRIDGE http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/occupy-chicago-storms-takes-over-bridge/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/occupy-chicago-storms-takes-over-bridge/#comments Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:24:43 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10343

The Tea Party NEVER did anything like this, yet the media vilified them on behalf of the Progressive. These radical socialists commandeer urban infrastructure, and the dishonest/moronic everywhere deem it simply civil-disobedience. That is not what this is. This is what desensitizing people to lawlessness looks like.

UPDATE: Here’s another shot of the #riotmongers. Note the SEIU logo on the jacket in the foreground.

ABC 7 CHICAGO TAKES UNION BOSS OUT OF CONTEXT IN SHOCKING EDITED VIDEO! http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/abc-7-chicago-takes-union-boss-out-of-context-in-shocking-edited-video/ http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2011/11/abc-7-chicago-takes-union-boss-out-of-context-in-shocking-edited-video/#comments Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:01:25 +0000 Founding Blogger http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/?p=10326

Two days ago, Education Action Group excerpted roughly 4 minutes of video from a 35 minute speech delivered by Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) boss, Karen Lewis.

The four minutes is composed of three excerpts. In the excerpts, Lewis bullies Education Secretary Arne Duncan for his speech impediment (a lisp), jokes about smoking lots of pot, and talks about losing weight so she can fit her over-sized posterior on a prison toilet because she plans on getting arrested.

Here is the excerpt.

Here is the full video.

Now the CTU is claiming the video is taken out of context, and that Karen Lewis is a victim of a right-wing hate machine. From the CTU Website:

Chicago Teachers Union President says viral video is another attack on teachers and public education

“As you know, neo-conservative, anti-labor and anti-public education bloggers — with a history of distorting and misrepresenting the truth — seized the opportunity to create a pseudo- firestorm around my comments in order to distract from our work at the Chicago Teachers Union. One such blogger created a viral video, edited for dramatic effect, and then distributed his skewed video to the media and others in the blogosphere in an attempt to smear my character.

Anyone with a public school education can see by looking at the tape that she was quoted in her full context. In fact, EAG excerpted more than 4 minutes of her bile. When ABC7 Chicago aired their story on her comments, they excerpted less than 30 seconds. That means, according to the CTU, ABC7 Chicago is roughly 800% more guilty of taking her out of context.
