After years of being ignored while they “occupied” the National Archives (or more accurately occupied the outside of the building – links and pictures here and here), the Geezers for Sitting on Our Hands have decided the Newseum, down the street from the Archives might generate more attention. Their small actions and the arrival of the police seem to excite them in this video;
Of course, any opportunity to get out of “the home” on a field trip probably excites them.
Someone sent me this link from last night’s Beck program that highlights some of the links I mentioned in my earlier post. I didn’t watch Beck last night, thankfully it’s on YouTube.
If you want to jump through the 13 minute video and hear about the ISO (International Socialist Organization) which is taking over Iraq Veterans Against the War, through the efforts of willing dupes like Adrienne Kinne and Victor Agosto it’s at about 6:15 in the video.
Of course, Beck does a much better job of tying all of these groups together and highlights the Administration’s support for these miscreants than I could do.
Saturday, 400 groups will converge on Washington, DC in what they call the “One Nation” rally. Of course, I’ve seen Leftist rallies which claimed 30 groups were represented and twenty people were there, so the number of groups isn’t really that important – it’s the types of groups that are showing up and intertwined for what they think make up the majority of Americans.
Code Pink and the National Education Association? Really? Our teachers are proud to stand along side the post-op trannies of Code Pink? The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees standing alongside Maoist-inspired ANSWER? In fact, every anti-war group you can think of is included and every union organization is right there along with them. So if you’re in a union, your dues money was spent to send people to this political rally. What do I mean? Well, the unions and the NAACP are giving thousands a free bus ride to DC.
And unlike Glen Beck’s rally earlier this month, this rally is purely political;
Unlike Beck’s rally, in which overt politics took a back seat to religious and patriotic themes, the progressive groups will repeatedly remind attendees to vote in the midterm elections, said Arlene Holt Baker, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO.
“We have heard a lot about frustration and anger leading to apathy. What we are finding is that anger is now turning into, ‘Okay, let’s act,’” she said. “We can either sit here and not move forward or we can go backward.”
Holt Baker considers the rally a first step toward more closely unifying the progressive movement, which has often splintered into niche causes.
Organizers told the Washington Post what their focus will be;
Organizers say they are focusing on three unifying ideas: jobs, justice and education. They define those ideas in a set of principles that also lays out a list of causes largely supported by liberals, such as ending discrimination in the criminal justice system, protecting Social Security, spending federal money to create jobs and improving public education.
“These are the bedrock issues that define who we are and why we march,” Jealous said.
Oh, really? Then why is the anti-military recruiting organization Ya-Ya Network coming? Why are The Geezers For Sitting on Our Hands (otherwise known as Veterans For Peace) slated? The National Center for Transgender Equality? American Friends Service Committee (otherwise known as Quakers – big anti-war protesters). US Labor Against the War? AIDS Walk Washington? The Trans-Africa Forum? Iraq Veterans Against the War (of course there are many contradictions just in that 5-word title)? US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation?
Many of those groups have come out against Obama and certain policies of his administration. Gays don’t like that he hasn’t used his bullypulpit to end Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Code Pink, Vets For Peace and IVAW have all criticized him for continuing Bush policies in Iraq and Afghanistan – their reason to exist as organizations. In fact many of the members of those organizations have told me that they didn’t vote for Obama in 2008 – yet here they are at what is essentially a rally to encourage people to vote for Democrats in November.
This isn’t America. Maybe it’s Washington, DC’s perception of America, but no one I know out here, just the other side of the Beltway, belong to any of those groups. And maybe the union leaders think their membership’s dues are justly spent on carrying smelly busloads of hippies who want a free trip to DC, but I’m pretty sure many of you would disagree.
If that rally is an accurate portrayal of America, Those of us who aren’t there ought to buy more ammo.
Yesterday, I wrote about the warrants that were served to “social justice activists” in Chicago last Friday morning. Last Thursday I wrote about FARC’s #2 commander, Jorge Briceno, who was killed in Colombia by Federal forces there. Sixteen laptop computers and over 60 disks were seized after the air strike on Briceno’s encampment last Wednesday.
According to news reports, those “social activists” are being questioned on their contacts with the Communist guerrillas in Colombia as well as their contacts in the Palestinian movements. The raids on these “activists” has sparked a nationwide series of protests. Even Victor Agosto, the convicted criminal and avowed Communist member of the IVAW, is helping to organize a protest against the FBI in Miami.I wonder how many of the 13 “activists” who have promised to come will actually show. And I’m sure the FBI is shaking in their wingtips.
Tuesday, Code Pink and ANSWER showed up outside the FBI headquarters to protest. Notice their manufactured signs – so you know the protest is a grassroots reaction, right? The protest is also being held on the Constitution Avenue side of the FBI building – there are no entrances used on that side of the building, but there’s more foot and motor traffic. So no one inside the building actually saw the protesters (except the FBI cops watching them on video) so we know who Code Pink and ANSWER wanted to talk to – tourists with money.
Well, now to my point. There have been several incidences over the last few years of “activists” being targeted by raids and surveillance from the Feds, but this is the first time they’ve put up a stink about it. Freedom Roads Socialist Organization, one of the targets of the raids has been in existence since the mid-80s when US peace groups lent aid and comfort to Central American communist guerrillas – those habits are hard to break.
I suspect that when the dust settles, we’re going to read that these activists are charged with aiding FARC. Yeah, I know that it’s hard to believe that US Federal government could work so fast in just a few days from the seizure of the laptops to the raids, but remember that we have an FBI office in Colombia which has close relationships with the government. I’m pretty sure an FBI agent accompanied the first Colombians into the area where Mono JoJoy was killed and had complete and immediate access to any evidence the Colombians discovered.
As a final note, did you hear how the Colombians tracked ol’ Mono? They infiltrated FARC and got someone so close that he/she was able to put a GPS device in Mono’s boot. So what chance do the other run-of-the-mill guerrillas have against the Colombian government?
Well, summer is over and it’s time for the rested and tanned anti-war crowd to take to the streets again. IVAW has begun it’s seasonal mental masturbation with their Operation Recovery to Stop the Deployment of Traumatized Troops – a worthy endeavor. Especially if the were a bit more specific about what is a “traumatized troop”.
They say that Operation Recovery is “our effort to stop the deployment of troops suffering from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Military Sexual Trauma. By signing our pledge, you agree to do what you can to help defend the rights of soldiers to heal and to hold accountable those who are responsible for deploying traumatized troops.”
I’m pretty sure that the military doesn’t want those guys deployed either. But there’s some yelling fire in a crowded theater going on from some members of IVAW.
Like Ethan McCord, the soldier from the Wikileaks video who carried one of the wounded children to an aid vehicle. Since he that video was released, he’s made a real pest of himself. Like in this article in which he said the military was engaged in something “reminiscent of ethnic cleansing“. Perhaps “reminiscent of Jengis Khan” was the phrase you were looking for, McCord?
In another article, McCord tells an ugly hippie chick that after the incident recorded in the above mentioned video, he told his squad leader that he needed help and his squad leader told him to get the sand out of his pussy. He doesn’t mention the name of the squad leader or the date of the incident. So we’re left with just McCord’s word. The way we’re always left with these goofballs. But the headline of the article is “Mentally injured troops used to murder children and women daily“. Nothing left to figure out there.
For one thing, the war that McCord left isn’t the same war. For another thing, unless he’s willing to name names and places about all of the mistreatment he endured from his commander, platoon leader, squad leader and whoever else he wants to implicate, I don’t place a bit of trust in a thing he says. And all of this non-specific tale-telling is going to get him in a bunch of trouble with those people someday.
I’m positive there wasn’t an order to kill everyone in sight when an IED detonated on his convoy as he claims. I haven’t been to Iraq during the current war, but I’m pretty sure everyone in the world knows that when an IED explodes, everyone in your sight didn’t know it was going to explode, or they’d have taken cover before it did – so what’s the use in killing them?
And if this unnamed squad leader did indeed tell him to get the sand out of his pussy, why hasn’t he done it yet?
Several of you sent me links to the story last week about the several “social justice activists” who had their cribs searched by the FBI (Huffington Post link). As the FBI searched their homes, these clowns whined to the press that they’d done nothing to cause this kind of scrutiny.
Well, that’s not exactly true. They belong to a group called Freedom Road Socialist Organization, they were organized in 1985 because the Maoist organizations of the 70s were fracturing and the FRSO tried to rejuvenate the Communist movement. I call them communists because they themselves refer to the organization as Marxist/Leninist – so what else should I call them?
Of course, they would call my characterization of them as “red-baiting” to recall images of Joseph McCarthy’s hearings in the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. That’s because they love to play victim – similar to the way Muslim extremists play the victim tune when they get busted. Using our justice system against us is a trait that communists share with jihadists.
Their websites are full of their own propaganda over the raids – the Freedom Road Socialist Organization is actually two organizations – they both threw hissy fits over the direction of the club and split – each claiming the FRSO mantle. Leave it to commies to confuse the perception of them One facet is in Chicago, the other in New York.
One of the detained “activists” is Mick Kelly who edits their periodical “Fight Back!” touted as “news and views from the People’s struggle”.
Here’s an interview with Mick while the FBI was rummaging through his apartment above a coffee shop.
He plays the victim well. I guess he didn’t figure anyone would read FRSO’s website. For example in their mission statement they say “We Exist to Organize for Revolution and Socialism”. That doesn’t seem so docile, does it?
“Fight for full equality of oppressed nationalities, including the right to self-determination for the African American, Chicano and Hawai’ian Nations ” Yup, I’m all for full equality – but that statement of self-determination means, according to their own websites, that the US needs to cut wide swaths in our country to give those minority groups their own countries within ours. I’m pretty sure that their intent to establish these areas as self governing elements, they don’t intend to make them self-sufficient. Not exactly a basis for establishing “equality”.
“Building a strategic alliance of the national movements and the working class to overthrow imperialism and establish socialism” doesn’t sound too peaceful does it?
Anyway, the Chicago Tribune reports that last night 350 “activists” protested in the streets outside of the FBI’s office. There is good news in all of this for our side;
Jim Fennerty, an attorney representing Abudayyeh, who is an American of Palestinian descent, said Monday that lawyers from the National Lawyers Guild will represent those who are being investigated.
The communist lawyer association is also the home of James Branum…so it looks like all of the “activists” will end up doing time in jail thanks to their activist lawyers.
“We aren’t doing anything differently than we have in 20 years,” said Weiner, a teacher at Wilbur Wright College. Iosbaker is a staff member at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a union steward for Service Employees International Union Local 73.
Burke said he received a grand jury subpoena requesting records of payments to Abudayyeh’s organization as well as two groups among the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Yeah, I don’t think the FBI has time to harass poor little protesters eeking out a meager living while they have meetings and read passages from Trotsky.
Bev Perlson sent us this link last night about Robert Kennedy’s son, Christopher, lobbying the University of Illinois trustees against Bill Ayers, the terrorist linked to bombings in the 60s as well as the current president. Ayers was applying to the board for “emeritus” status with the university which brought him some benefits.
…in an emotional statement, Kennedy discussed his reasons for voting against Ayers’ request.
“I am guided by my conscience and one which has been formed by a series of experiences, many of which have been shared with the people of our country and mark each of us in a profound way,” Kennedy said.
He said he could not confer the title “to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father.”
Kennedy was referring a 1974 book co-authored by Ayers, “Prairie Fire,” which was dedicated to a long list of people including Robert Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan and “all political prisoners in the U.S.”
Of course, the board voted unanimously against the status for Ayers. I’m just glad to see that there’s some behavior that the surviving Kennedys won’t tolerate.
I was checking out my Facebook page today, I noticed one of my “friends” got married. It was funny because it seems like he’d just announced he was single a few weeks back. So I went over to see what was up with Jesse MacBeth

Actually, the Kindle version is $.99 But it looks like Amazon has high hopes for the book at $19.99 for the paperback. TSO bought the book over a year ago and still hasn’t read past the first paragraph.
Last time Jesse wrote me, he was trying to organize against the Revolution Muslim, those batshit crazy reactionaries in New York City. It looks like he didn’t resist their message very well and joined them instead.
Just remember, Jesse, take the detonator down range with you when you’re installing the IED. Or don’t.
