  • Occupy Oakland fails again.

    It seems that Occupy Oakland has opened a account at Wells Fargo and deposited twenty thousand dollars. So with the Occupy movement has been has been telling the public to withdraw their money from the banks has opened a account in a bank that has been labeled as part of the one percent.

    The general assembly voted 162-8 to place the money with San Francisco-based Wells Fargo. The assembly minutes indicate that placement with Wells Fargo, which the group has referred to as a “bankster,” might be only temporary.

    Occupy Oakland intends to eventually place the funds with a credit union. The money, the minutes indicate, was donated by Occupy Wall Street, a protest effort that sprouted in Lower Manhattan.

    The cash is to be used to assist in helping individuals who might have been jailed in connection with Occupy Oakland actions, the minutes of the general assembly stated.

    Also consider that a branch of Wells Fargo was damaged during the recent Occupy protests.

    “I understand that people aren’t comfortable with that, but this is a time-sensitive issue,” one of the leaders of the general assembly stated, according to the minutes.

    Occupy Oakland has pilloried Chase Bank, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank and other major American financial companies for triggering some of the nation’s economic ailments.

    “It takes time to transfer funds to a credit union,” one of the general assembly members stated, according to the minutes posted on the website. “We need to help people in jail now.”

    So once again the Occupy movement gets hit in the face by reality. Thanks to UpNorth for the link.

  • IVAW to march for Occupy Oakland again

    So Ouccpy Oakland is going to be marching with IVAW today in protests against Oakland Police Force. It seems that Scott Olsen will be speaking at the event.

    As part of Veterans Day, veterans will be leading a march against police brutality on November 11th, 2011 in Oakland. We will start with a press conference and rally with an update and statement from Scott Olsen at Oscar Grant Plaza starting at 4pm.

    We welcome all veterans of the 99% to lead the way and all supporters to join us as we march the streets. We march not only for injured veterans Scott Olsen, Kayvan Sabeghi and Doug Connor, but for all those who have been killed or injured as a result of police brutality.

    Yea because that is what I think of when I think of Veterans day or IVAW for that matter. Also should be interesting to hear what Olsen is going to say about his past if at all.

    But I am sure that few Veterans would throw in their hat in with the IVAW if they saw photos like this.

    Jonn Added: Here’s the backstory on the toy soldiers picture above.

  • Portland Occupier firebombs World Trade Center

    The longer this shit goes on the more we can expect the filthy hippies to push the envelope of what we’ll tolerate from their uncivil asses;

    Lt. Robert King, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau, said officers were given a “very good description” of the man who threw the incendiary device and located him inside the Occupy Portland camp.

    King said Hodson was arrested on Sunday for starting several fires inside the camp.

    Funny how when you call for people to come together and protest authority, you attract the criminals who’ve spent their entire lives bucking society. But, hey, they’re only doing the same thing as the tea Party protesters….well, except for the criminal shit and crapping on sidewalks, and leaving a monumental mess in their wake.

  • To my face

    Thanks to Mr Wolf for sending a link to my interview with Columbia Journalism Review.

    Not all veterans are in agreement. Jonn Lilyeah blogged about Scott Olsen on his This Ain’t Hell page:

    Now, the hippies get to hide behind Olsen’s broken body and make a martyr of him…someone they would have spit on a few weeks ago and called a baby-killer. Scott, if you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

    Lilyea says he “feels bad that Olsen was injured,” but is ambivalent about who was responsible for his injury: “He was standing between people throwing rocks and the cops.” But the real issue is that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace. “Those groups represent the opposite of what I believe in,” says Lilyea, “The focus of my blog is to try and give people a better view of what veterans are, rather than people like Scott Olsen.”

    What I really said was TAH is about calling peole idiots, because I don’t think they know they’re idiots, and I’m the only one doing it. I said that IVAW and VFP were only using Olsen’s bloody shirt to reise money. But apparently she didn’t want to say that outloud.

    I also asked where the concern was for Jose Guerena when Dupnik’s SWAT Association murdered the Marine Iraq veteran, Of course, she didn’t know what I was talking about nor did she look it up.

    Iguess I’ll never learn to that the media isn’t going to gt the story that no one else is doing, only the story that makes them feel good about themselves. I keep hoping that they’ll keep quoting what I say instead of what they want to hear.

    Not bad for a guy with just one eye, huh?

  • More OWS “fringe” activity in Eureka

    A link from Old Trooper highlights more activity that our trolls classify as “fringe” activity, but is quickly becoming the norm that we expect from the unkempt animals.

    A US Bank representative reported that she came to work to find an unknown subject(s) had urinated and defecated in the entry way to the bank.

    Classy, huh? But there’s more – while the officer was making the report of te defecation, a bank customer reported that they’d been harassed by a crowd of occutards while the customer was attempting to use the ATM. Someone using the ATM is probably a member of the 99% – so who are the occupiers sticking up for these days? .

    Officers contacted members of the media, who had been assaulted while interviewing members of “Occupy Eureka”. The media reported that while they were conducting an interview, an “Occupy Eureka” member stepped forward and pushed the camera man and reporter. He then fled.

    Of course the little chicken sht fled, he’s a filthy hippie.

    The Eureka Police Department would like to warn citizens to be cautious when using the ATMs or banking in the downtown area of Eureka, due to increased aggressive behavior by this group.

    Yeah, but they claim they’re more popular than ever – these antics will male them virtual heroes among the 99%. I’d love to have my name associated with the occupy fleabaggers. Anyone who is brave enough to crap on the sidewalk deserves my support.

    The New York Post reports that an OWS protester threw a violent hissy fit when a MacDonald’s employee wouldn’t give him free food;

    Fisika Bezabeh, 27, ripped a credit-card reader from a counter and threw it at workers at about 2:30 a.m. at the Mickey D’s at 160 Broadway, a bathroom spot for protesters.

    No one was hurt by Bezabeh, who has been seen hanging out with protesters in the occupied park, police sources said.

    I guess the McDonald’s employee who he attacked was part of the 1%, too.

    All the while, the leaders of the leaderless group are having a tug-of-war over the half million bucks they’ve raised, and typical of communist and socialist organizatons, they’re splintering according to Global Research.

    Powerline reports that Occupy DC occu-tards attacked a 78-year-old woman and shoved her down a flight of stairs.

    Yeah, the “fringe” seems to be spreading.

  • DC protesters struck by motorist

    You can watch this video from Crooks and Liars of the aftermath of an accident in DC wnen some Occupy DC protesters were struck by a motorist. Language warning;

    After you watch the video, read this from Fox5 in DC;

    Lt. Christopher Micciche of the D.C. police said the driver was not cited because he had a green light when his vehicle struck the three on Friday night. He said witnesses told police that the three pedestrians “either ran toward or jumped in front of the moving vehicle.” He said one pedestrian jumped on the hood of the car. One of them was cited for being in the roadway.

    “The protesters were apparently trying to block the roadway,” Micciche said. “It was essentially an accident where three individuals were injured but they were in violation by being in the roadway.” D.C. fire department spokesman Lon Walls said Saturday morning that the three were transported to two area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries

    So basically everything that the protesters do is perfectly legal, but everything that results from their actions to them is somehow worthy of punishment. But then, some numbnuts will tell us this is the fringe of the Occupy movement. That’s mighty big fringe in the video.

    This is the seconf time that I know of proters being struck by motorists while the hippies are trying to disrupt traffic…the 99%ers who are trying to get home from their jobs. But the hippies are only following my fondest wish for them – that they play in traffic.

  • Pulling the wool over your own eyes

    I found a link to an article written by the staff at Occupy Wall Street dot org entitled “Occupy Wall Street: Improving Quality of Life for the 99%“. Foolish me, I thought they were going to talk about the 99% outside of their little display of public masturbation, but the article only mentions how they’ve improved the quality of their own lives by shitting in toilets instead of on police cars, they pick up their own trash and keeping their idiot noise down – you know the things the rest of us were doing long before the protests began.

    And, oh, by th way, they’ve started providing the protesters with security from themselves. Great, huh? Too late for some of the protesters who’ve been assaulted, sexually and otherwise. Too late for those who’ve had their belongings liberated by hippie thieves.

    They alp brag that they have convinced the police to remove barriers to local businesses resulting fro the assemblage of hippies. Of course, those barriers wouldn’t have been erected if the hippies weren’t there.

    So congratulations you hippie fucks- you’re now in the 19th century and it only took a few months to get there. You’r really improving the whole country’s 99% lives by not being the arrogant, selfish little fucks you were in September. But you’re really not doing anything that benefits the rest of us, numbnuts, nor will you ever.

  • Official Puppeteer of Occupy Wall Street

    What a gig?

    Don Surber  offers a teachable moment.

    A few years ago, Joe Therrien, a graduate of the NYC Teaching Fellows program, was working as a full-time drama teacher at a public elementary school in New York City. Frustrated by huge class sizes, sparse resources and a disorganized bureaucracy, he set off to the University of Connecticut to get an MFA in his passion — puppetry.

    Take the time to read Don’s post. It only takes 4 or 5 WTFs to get through.

    I’m an ignorant old hillbilly; I didn’t even know one could get a MFA in puppetry? Or would want one, or mumble, mumble…
