Our buddy Zombie donned a Santa suit to infiltrate the latest Occupy protest in San Francisco and after awhile Zombie was the only one still wearing the costume;
I have no idea why everything in California, or at least San Francisco, ends up with everyone who is ugly and deformed taking off their clothes. But anyway, you can go see Zombie’s latest S.F. puts the “X” back in Xmas: Occupying human rights for naked Santas
The naughty parts are blurred, but I still wouldn’t open the link at work.
Despite the fact that labor, namely the longshoreman, oppose it, the hippies on the West Coast are going to punish The Man by shutting down the ports on the West Coast today. from the Washington Times;
Organized labor appears divided over the port shutdown effort. In Oakland, which saw strong union support for the Nov. 2 general strike that culminated in the closing of the port, the city’s teachers union is backing Monday’s action, while the county’s construction workers have come out against the shutdown, saying the port has provided jobs to many unemployed workers and apprentices.
The Port of Oakland has appealed to city residents not to join the blockade, which they say could hurt the port’s standing among customers and cost local jobs.
A bunch of selfish little twits who still haven’t figured how the economy works yet.
Our buddy, Aunty Brat at Assoluta Tranquillita sends us a link to a post she wrote about a band, Madison Rising, who applied for a permit to play a free concert in New York City’s Zuccotti Park where filthy hippies have been crapping for the last few months and they were denied the permit.
As much as I pay attention to popular culture, I’d never heard of Madison Rising, but it seems that they rock pretty hard;
Aunty Brat says;
A patriotic rock bank describing themselves as pro-Capitalism and anti-Occupy say they were denied permission to perform this week at Zuccotti Park, the site where the anti-Wall Street protesters are holed up.
“We wanted to get a legally properly permitted concert together to say thank you to the hard working men and women on Wall Street and also to say thank for all that the New York Police Department and the Fire Department of New York had to put up with for the last couple months with these Occupy guys” said Dave Bray, the lead singer of the band, Madison Rising.
Maybe they’d have got the permit if they’d crapped on the sidewalk outside the building and announced that they were against trans fats.
I WILL NOT vouch for the veracity of this story. When “Oath Keepers” are involved alarms go off.
I’m posting about it as a heads-up. It IS a way to track citizens, and so of some note.
Federal agents raid Mormon food storage facility, demand list of customers storing emergency food
Oath Keepers, an association of active servicemen devoted to upholding their oath of guarding the republic and protecting individual liberty, has reported that federal agents recently paid a visit to a Latter Day Saints food storage cannery in Tennessee. Though they had no reason to be there, these agents allegedly interrogated the facility’s manager and demanded to see a list of customers that had purchased, and were storing, food there.
YMMV
Adam sends us a link to Gateway Pundit who links to Lagniappe’s Lair which reports that the “icon” of veterans in the Occupy DC protests, Michael Patterson, seen here in his IVAW hoodie was tossed out the Army for smoking pot;
From an interview Patterson did;
He tried to get out of the military as a conscientious objector after that. He was told it wouldn’t work because he’s an atheist. “So I just smoked a bunch of pot and got kicked out,” he says. He was officially discharged on June 7th of this year.
Yeah, that’s what an “icon” does. The good news for parents is that Patterson aspires to be a teacher, so you may see him in your school.
Claymore sends a link from Atlanta’s Creative Loafing describing an incident in which a 34-year-old woman reported to an officer on a street corner that she’d been raped in Woodruff Park, where the local Occupy protest is being held.
As the interrogative continued, the woman eventually admitted that she had been soliciting to a fellow who promised to exchange a pair of spanking new WalMart shoes for a little trim. After helping himself to the goods, such as they were, he refused to buy the shoes and left the enterprising hippie several miles from the park.
I guess that’s why the ladies of the evening always get their remuneration up front. She must’ve missed that lesson in her general disregard of capitalism and economics.
But that’s just another of those anomalies which happen to the Occupy folks. It doesn’t mean they’re all bad people. But I haven’t heard any stories of the Tea Partiers trading their chastity for shoes to put on their stinkin’ feet.
Finally, Occupy DC pissed off the police bad enough that they got themselves arrested this morning They built the above-pictured barn in McPherson Square a few blocks from the White House and on K Street…right downtown. When the police asked them to remove the structure, they refused and police moved in to remove the building after the deadline expired.
Then protesters made it more difficult for the police by climbing on the structure and occupying the peak of the roof. So, ya know, the police were in a real good mood by the time they destroyed the building.
But this is the line that made me laugh when I read the Washington Post article;
“It is counterrevolutionary to occupy space with a permit,” Patterson told the crowd.
First of all, where is this revolution I keep hearing about? Second of all, it’s also criminal to occupy space without a permit. So is this a revolution or just petty criminal activity?
The LA Times reports that folks swept up in the police raid at Occupy LA may be in need of therapy to deal with their mild discomfort from being in police custody;
One speaker suggested that some of those arrested might need therapy. Several said they felt traumatized after witnessing police use nonlethal force and being forced to wait for hours in zip-tie handcuffs. Some displayed cuts on their wrists from the handcuffs. Others complained that they were forced to urinate in bags on the bus as they were transported to jails.
One speaker urged others to document any complaints. “Make note of every single violation of human rights,” she told those assembled.
During my stint in a Panamanian jail, my only toilet was a one quart milk carton, I was beaten nearly every morning…yet I didn’t need therapy when I was finally released. So what kind of pussies are we raising these days?
Some might avoid prosecution if they successfully complete a court program that requires them to perform community service or class instruction, he added.
Yeah, we can hold our collective breath before those punks are willing to do anything that can be considered a service to their community.
Thanks to Tman for the link to the article and John for the picture.
