SEIU Confirms Democrat-Socialist Marxist Connection

In their own words.

Commies & Marxists & Thugs Oh MY!!!

The Communist Revolution, Unions, #OWS & The Power of the 99% in 2012

Not that this should be surprising since Marxists have been behind and involved with in the #OccupyWallSt movement since Day One when the September protests began, but the Neo-Coms in the unionized #OWS movement are now getting more formal advice from their philosophical mentors, the Communist Party USA.

Of course we're told that the #OWS movement is just a "spontaneous" outpouring of anger by ordinary Americans.

There will be unicorns and lollipops in the main foyer.

The Union and Foreign Influence Behind the #OccupyWallSt Crowd

The Union and Foreign Influence Behind the #OccupyWallSt Crowd

The protesters have railed against food corporations because they believe their products are altering their DNA. They want free education so they don’t have to work or join the military to payoff student loans. They have called for a living wage. They take pride in disrupting the lives of working Americans because they do not share the same work ethic. Furthermore, they want to end wealth in America and replace capitalism with a system of sharing that gives out really cool stuff. These are but just a few of the mob’s demands. Mikhail Bakunin, the Russian author of the quote in the heading, was considered the author of violent social anarchism. Bakunin advocated atheism and violence as well as terrorism, revolution and destruction. Is it coincidental that the Wall Street Protestors have been heard shouting death threats against cops, Jews, and the wealthy?

Your American Service Union At Its Finest

Let's get one thing straight from the outset, I have no (zero, zip, nada) issues with trade unions. They keep our workforce properly staffed with well-trained men and women who genuinely care about doing good work. I have no issues with the UMW, because if there ever was a class of worker who needed protection, its the mineworker.

What I do have an issue with is an asshole who stands up in front of a crowd of pencil-pushing, envelope licking, paper-folding, inbox stuffing parasites and incites them to violence against American citizens.

This is not free-speech.

We Are Heroes, Who Need to Create a Crisis: SEIU’s Stephen Lerner at Progressive Summit Tells Unions, Community Organizers and Students They Need to Escalate Protests, Break Laws, Occupy Abandoned Houses and Spread the Crisis All Over U.S

Where Will They Keep Their Money?

Where will they cash their paychecks? When they shut down the banks? Will they work for free once capitalism is eradicated? Based on what I've seen and heard over the past several months, service-union members are very concerned about their income and benefits. They keep asking for more money; but they are allowing themselves to be led by marxists and communists screaming about shutting down the evil banks and corporations. How exactly will that work out?

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but it seems to me the actions of one group do not mesh with the actions of the other group. Seems like a contradiction of end results is working. Seems to me they are working at cross-purposes.

Are these people that stupid? Or just ignorant and easily led? Are they the Useful Idiots communists rely on or just misguided citizens who haven't been fully briefed? Dumb as a box of rocks or just plain old lazy and greedy?

Communists and marxists are lazy, greedy and covetous. They want what everyone else has; they want more than everyone else, but don't want to expend the energy and effort to obtain it as we did and they'll take it from us if we refuse to give it over.

Two words:

From the Morning Examiner

Morning Examiner: Obama's secret plan
By Conn Carroll

President Obama has a secret plan. He told Iowans Monday his “very specific plan” would boost the economy, create jobs, and control the deficit. What are the details of this plan? Sorry, Obama has to travel to Martha’s Vineyard for a ten day vacation first.

According to National Journal, Obama’s secret plan is part of a new White House strategy to counter the “growing perception that President Obama is a weak leader.” Apparently, the president’s senior advisers believe Libya, Egypt, and the debt hike debate “have done serious damage to his leadership image.” The polling backs this belief up. NJ reports: “In April 2009, Gallup found 73 percent of Americans who said that Obama was a “strong leader.” In May 2010, that had declined to 60 percent. In March 2011, Gallup had it down to 52 percent. There has been no more recent polling on that issue.” And that leadership fall all happened before Libya and the debt hike.

Obama’s solution? Blame Congress. But how can Obama blame Congress for his own leadership failures? That is where the “very specific” secret plan comes in. Obama hopes to convince Americans that 1) he has a plan to cut the debt and create jobs, and 2) only “unreasonable” Republicans in Congress stand between America and success. Will it work? That depends on how compliant the press is.

Obama has not submitted a specific plan to address the debt since he submitted his budget to Congress in February. That plan was rejected by the Senate 97-0. Obama has since given many speeches about the debt, but as Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf testified to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, “We don’t estimate speeches. We need much more specificity then was provided in that speech for us to do our analysis.”

If Obama does submit his “very specific plan” to the CBO so that it can be scored on an equal footing with the Republican budget, then the country will benefit from a great debate. But if Obama just gives another speech, backed up only by bogus economic projections from his Office of Management and Budget, then his secret plan should be exposed for the fraud that it is.

Around the Bigs
The Wall Street Journal, Obama Aims to Keep White Voters on Board: President Obama’s taxpayer-paid Midwest trip is allowing him to address a central challenge for his re-election: His very low approval ratings among white voters. While white working class voters already chose Republicans over Obama by 18 points in 2008, the gap has opened up to 30 points today.

The Wall Street Journal, Wal-Mart Frets Over Uncertainty: Wal-Mart Chief Financial Officer Charles Holley told investors on a conference call Tuesday: “Our core customer continues to be strained. The volatility in the headlines doesn’t help the customer. They are really stretched right now.” Last week, more upscale retailers like Macy’s and JC Penny’s also said their customers are worried about the economy as well.

The New York Times, Europe’s Debt Crisis Weakens Quarterly Growth: Official figures released Tuesday showed that the Germany economy has slowed to a standstill and growth across Europe has fall to its lowest rate in two years.

Rick Perry refused to retract or apologize for saying about Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Monday, “If this guy prints more money between now and the election … we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas.” On Tuesday, Perry explained: “I am just passionate about the issue, and we stand by what we said.”

Righty Playbook
Breitbart.tv caught MSNBC’s Ed Schultz selectively editing video of Perry saying, “That big black cloud that hangs over America, that debt that is so monstrous,” to just “That big black cloud that hangs over America, is so monstrous.” Schultz used the doctored to quote to accuse Perry of racism.

I Thought Unions Were About Protecting Jobs

Obama's Attack on Private Industry

You might think that a U.S. company's decision to expand its manufacturing facilities and create 1,000 new jobs here at home -- rather than overseas -- would be hailed by the Obama Administration as a step in the right direction, especially with nine percent unemployment. You'd be wrong. Instead, President Barack Obama's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is doing all it can to throw a wrench in the machinery of private industry.

The story begins with Boeing Corporation's decision to build a new assembly plant in Charleston, South Carolina, in order to produce the 787 Dreamliner, the company's fastest selling airliner. (To date, Boeing has 800 planes on order.) The NLRB, which is charged with remedying unfair labor practices, got wind of the decision and last month filed a complaint against Boeing, alleging that the company decided to build the plant in South Carolina out of retaliation for union strikes at its Washington state facilities.

Those locations have caused difficulties for Boeing. The International Association of Machinists (IAM) regularly goes on strike during contract negotiations, causing Boeing to miss orders and costing it billions in lost business. Boeing considered building its new plant in Washington, but the IAM refused to sign a long-term no-strike agreement. That played a role in Boeing's decision to expand into South Carolina, a right-to-work state with a good business and tax climate, as Heritage's Rea Hederman, Jr., and James Sherk explain.

The NLRB's actions are drawing strong criticism from Republicans in the U.S Senate. "It's clearly outside of the authority of this federal government to be threatening and bullying and trying to intimidate companies like Boeing who should have the freedom to locate their plants anywhere they want. It's intimidation," Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said Wednesday. DeMint joined with 18 senators in writing a letter to the president last week condemning the NLRB's complaint:
We consider this an attack on millions of workers in 22 right-to-work states, as well as a government-led act of intimidation against American companies that should have the freedom to choose to build plants in right-to-work states.

If the NLRB prevails, it will only encourage companies to make their investments in foreign nations, moving jobs and economic growth overseas. America will not win the future if Washington penalizes workers in states that have discovered winning economic strategies.

But in a White House where the cozy relationship between big labor and big government couldn't be any closer, the NLRB's moves are just the Obama administration's latest effort to come to the defense of the union machine. And it's also a direct shot at private industry's freedom to make fundamental business decisions, which has serious consequences for the U.S. economy.

Hederman and Sherk write:
If the Obama Administration succeeds, it will chill business investment. Unions raise business costs and discourage employers from investing and expanding. Studies consistently show that unionized employers create fewer jobs than non-union employers. Forcing businesses to invest in states with bad business climates will cause them to scale back their investments. It might create a few more jobs for union members, but will mean fewer jobs and higher unemployment in the economy overall.

President Obama has remained silent on the issue, with a White House official maintaining that the NLRB's complaint is an "independent agency's enforcement action." Governor Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) isn't satisfied and has a pointed question for the president, as National Review Online reports.

I want to ask him why he is allowing unelected bureaucrats to come in and do the unions' dirty work on the backs of our businesses . . . It's hurting the jobs in South Carolina and every other right-to-work state. He owes us an answer."The answer to Haley's question can be found in the Obama-big labor alliance. If the Obama NLRB prevails, it will have struck a significant blow against right-to-work states by significantly expanding labor's ability to dictate where companies do business, all while solidifying their base of political power. The losers, unfortunately, will be private industry, job seekers and the U.S. economy.

Unions or Mobsters?

Because based on this article, I'd say mobsters. As a citizen of this Nation, you have the right to pursue any career you feel you are qualified for. You do not have a "right" to a job. You have the freedom to obtain one. You do have the right to be free from undue pressure to join any organization, no matter how benevolent (or malevolent) they may seem. Unions are the bullies of the workplace, especially in the service industry and government employees and from the tactics described in this article, they are borderline psychotic.

NLRB rejects Hyatt’s request for unionization election as labor union pressures employees

It’s rare for a company with workers targeted by Big Labor for unionization to ask the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for a unionization election. That initiative is usually taken by the unions themselves.
But that’s exactly what hotel chain Hyatt did at four of its locations after Unite Here organizers allegedly badgered its workers by showing up at their houses and following them to places like supermarkets in order to pressure them to unionize. Unite Here is a labor union that represents various service industry workers, including workers employed at hotels, airports, food service providers and casinos. Unite Here doesn’t want to hold secret-ballot elections, though, despite leading numerous activities Hyatt contends are tantamount to organizing efforts.

Union Protestors in Wisconsin Destroy Democrat Recall Petitions and Police Do Nothing

The petition rally was originally scheduled at a local Merrill restaurant but was relocated after the proprietors received many phone calls and felt they needed to back out. The committee then set up in front of the Lincoln County Courthouse to offer citizens an opportunity to sign their names to the petition. Over 1,000 calls had been sent out the previous day notifying area residents of the petition rally.

Upon arrival, members of the recall committee were encircled by union protesters carrying signs and a leader with a mega phone who began chanting and ranting loudly. They packed in tightly around the petition collection table so as to prevent those attempting to sign from doing so. At one point, a pro union protester, pretending to be interested in signing the petition, wrote profanity across a partially collected petition form, than began ripping up the completed petitions that were in close proximity.

When They Do This In New York

Its called extortion. Pay or lose.

A large man in a three-piece suit with two other large friends walks into your place of business and tells you that your building is in a very hazardous area. There have been several businesses that caught fire in recent weeks and they can protect yours. It will only cost you 50% of your weekly gross receipts. Kind of a benevolent association, if you will.

Nonsense you say. The fire department is only three blocks away and you have a good insurance policy. Well, the large gentlemen says, as he plays with his Zippo, the fire department and insurance company only comes out AFTER the fire. We're offering to prevent the fire from starting in the first place and now the cost has risen to 60% of your gross receipts, for the aggravation of having to tell you twice.

That's called extortion. Use of fear to extract money.

The government workers' unions have started employing similar tactics to get their way. Only when they do it, its called collective bargaining.

Lets go to Wisconsin where the Republican legislators trying to save the state's economy have asked the service unions to step up and lend a hand by contributing a small amount of their pay to their own retirement plans (I stuff 5% of my wages into mine, plus my profit-sharing) and be repsonsible citizens of the state by curtailing the act of bargaining for higher wages since they don't really produce anything marketable, nothing of value with a relative cost to worth ratio. They have no real dangers in the workplace, unless you count papercuts, the occasional gas flare-up from eating to much rich food, the asshat down the hall who keeps sending you explicit emails and the fat-ass you get from sitting on it all day long.

You'd think the legislators were asking for the firstborn child of every union member in Wisconsin. Wait, based on what I've seen so far, the unions would give their firstborn as long as they got their way with everything else.

Now they've reverted to the behavior of unions we've all come to know and loathe. Death threats have been sent via email. (How stupid is that in this day and age? What ever happened to the old style of sending death threats; letters cut out of newspapers/magazines and pasted onto posterboard? You know, REAL cut and paste? I swear the creativity and initiative in this country has just bottomed out.)

I know ya'll are tired of hearing this story being repeated over and over..what? You've never heard the LSM report this story? You say this is the first you've heard of it? How can that be? The LSM is always on top of any story where politicians are getting death threats from citizens exercising their government provided right of free speech, assembly and expression. Oh wait, thats only if the politician has a D behind their name. My bad.

Thanks to my favorite two-headed talk show hosts, Scott and Richard, for reminding me I needed to do a rant on this.

I Think....

Michael Moore Is A Lazy Fat Capitalist Pig and a greedy, selfish, self-rightous, self-aggrandizing, racist hypocrite.

Bussing In Protestors

Rumor has it that Uncle Jimbo was on the ground in his home-town of Madison. He files this and one other report over at Blackfive.

Big Journalism has this piece up:
Progressives In Front of WH Protest Effort Mad at Koch Brothers

The President took a public stand against the hard-working private sector families of Wisconsin who are struggling to make ends meet in an post-stimulus era of 9% unemployment.

OFA, the President’s campaign arm, has organized and bussed in hundreds of out-of-state protesters to continue the agitation in Wisconsin.

The DNC has been working to help organize protest against states’ rights and the Wisconsin governor.

Yet progressive columnists who, for whatever reason, are allowed to post poorly-written Kos fantasies in a publication like Forbes and are freaking out over, who else? The Koch Brothers. Rick Ungar ironically and generously quotes the Soros-funded Think Progress in his diatribe about the Wisconsin protests.

Even if, for the sake of this ridiculous argument, the Koch brothers were involved in funding a portion of the rally, who cares? Ungar misses the irony of quoting a Soros publication while complaining about the Koch brothers. He misses the irony of standing for government-organized protests. He props up one bajillionaire while whining about another. It’s good enough for progressives to allow the White House to abuse its power and stir up tension in state capitols, yet somehow Ungar finds it within himself to draw a boundary when it comes to conservatives doing the same.

Karma: SEIU Kicks Members’ Kids to the Curb
ObamaCare causes union to drop 6,000 children's health insurance coverage.
Posted by LaborUnionReport (Profile)
Saturday, November 27th at 5:45PM EST 36 Comments

You remember how ObamaCare was all about making health care more affordable and protecting the most vulnerable, right?

And, surely you remember how much money and resources (i.e., members’ dues) the purple behemoth known as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) put into the fight for ObamaCare—even going so far as (allegedly) beating Kenneth Gladney at a St. Louis town hall meeting.

Heck, it was SEIU’s then president Andy Stern who pushed for the tactic known as “demon pass” that gave us final passage of ObamaCare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

Well, somehow we missed this last week:
One of the largest union-administered health-insurance funds in New York is dropping coverage for the children of more than 30,000 low-wage home attendants, union officials said. The union blamed financial problems it said were caused by the state’s health department and new national health-insurance requirements.
The fund is administered by 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union. Union officials said the state compelled the fund to start buying coverage from a third party, which increased premiums by 60%. State health officials denied forcing the union fund to make the switch, saying the fund had been struggling financially even before the switch to third-party coverage.

The fund informed its members late last month that their dependents will no longer be covered as of Jan. 1, 2011. Currently about 6,000 children are covered by the benefit fund, some until age 23.

The union fund faced a “dramatic shortfall” between what employers contributed to the fund and the premiums charged by its insurance provider, Fidelis Care, according to Mitra Behroozi, executive director of benefit and pension funds for 1199SEIU. The union fund pools contributions from several home-care agencies and then buys insurance from Fidelis.

Of course, when it comes to the SEIU, it must be someone else’s fault.

Its never the fault of liberal unions.

1. America's First Black President Tries to Push Out Another Black Politician
First they came for David Patterson, Governor of New York. Barack Obama and the Democrats ganged up on him and forced him to not seek re-election.
Now they've come for Kendrick Meeks, or at least Bill Clinton, America's first black President, has come for Kendrick Meeks, but at the behest of America's second black President.
Specifically, "Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna confirmed to Politico" that Clinton's top aide, Doug Band, brought up the subject with Meeks. Meeks sounded amenable. They then brought Clinton in.
Kendrick Meeks denied it to CNN.
Clinton confirmed it then backed away from it then confirmed it again. But Clinton said the White House was not involved.
Charlie Crist, who has had to heated private conversations with Kendrick Meeks in the past week, says the White House was involved.
Some Democrats "with knowledge of the plan" confirm the White House knew.

The complaint alleges scores of union tactics designed to undermine the integrity of the voting process and intimidate voters.
Specifically, the complaint notes that union officials are busing in union workers, leading them to the polls, deterring or preventing the union member from going to unobserved polling locations set up in Las Vegas, etc.
"The union personnel strategically position themselves at various points around the boundaries of the polling location to ensure that one or more of them are able to monitor their members' activities at all times."
The complaint is highly detailed and filled with eye witness accounts of union officials intimidating casino employees and directly overseeing how the union employees are attempting to vote.

CWA Union Boss Says Tea Party Advocates ‘Slavery’
by LaborUnionReport

Just when you thought the left-wing race baiting over the last year couldn’t get any worse, the Communications Workers of America chief honcho Larry Cohen has sunk to new depths attacking those who do not agree with his socialist agenda.

On Wednesday, the NAACP, in continuing its unfounded “racist” accusations of the Tea Party movement, had a conference call on which the CWA President participated.

According to Big Journalism writer Niger Innis, after the NAACP’s Ben Jealous continued his normal the-tea-parties-are-racist-harangue, his little buddy at the CWA threw the rhetorical grenade out on the call:

The most illuminating part of the call came when “progressive” ally, Larry Cohen of the CWA (Communication Workers of America) revealed the real agenda of the attacks on the Tea Party by the Left, “We disagree with the agenda of the tea party Movement… They advocate slavery,” and this classic gem, “We don’t need 19th century capitalism.”

Armageddon: What Democrats Are Hiding & Why They Are Really Scared
Unions and Democrats are scared. They should be.

Very soon, Democrats and their union bosses' worst fears may soon be realized and, if they cannot continue their slight of hand, it may threaten their very existence. While it is true that Democrats and their union bosses are facing possibly debilitating losses on November 2nd, they are hiding the really bad news from voters until after November 2nd.

Do you remember that promise we heard back in 2008 about transparency? Democrats and, in particular, then-candidate Barack Obama stated emphatically that "transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency." What a joke that was. Well, it's time to shed some light on the house of cards that is about to come crashing down on Democrats' and union bosses' heads.

In June, a conversation took place in a hotel restaurant in Washington. As a latecomer to the conversation, it was easy to pick up that the topic that was the $165 billion union pension bailout bill introduced by Sen. Bob Casey [D-PA] in March.

Obama and Democrats lie about Citizens United and campaign money

...it is telling that this White House would invest so much energy on pushing an argument that is so fundamentally false on its face. It tells you something about their respect for the American people, their belief in the gullibility of the media, and their character.

Barack Obama and the Democrats have a story about this election. It goes like this. The Supreme Court ruled that corporations have free speech rights in the Supreme Court decision Citizens United. Since then, all this corporate money has flowed into campaigns, blah blah blah. And the press has completely accepted this line of thinking.

It is complete nonsense. They probably want to concoct a falsehood so that this election somehow is not about the White House. But the reality is that their core narrative is simply false on its face.

Let The Truth Be Known

Last Wednesday union thugs rammed their way through the Boston Tea Party Rally where Sarah Palin was speaking. They threw punches, insulted protesters, and screamed through a bullhorn. On Thursday, two democratic officials, Steve Belosi and John Durajczyk stood up, screamed and disrupted Lt. Governor Peter Kinder during his tea party speech in St. Charles, Missouri. One of the thugs screamed at an elderly woman until she started crying. At the Sacramento tea party rally Martin Francis Brown rushed the stage and started screaming until he was slammed down on the back. Of course, these stories were ignored by the democratic-media complex. It didn’t fit their narrative.

So, it comes as no surprise that the state-run media largely ignored this story today… Democratic donor Erik Lawrence Pidrman was arrested late Sunday for threatening to murder Republican Representative Ginny Brown-Waite.

DEM DONOR Arrested for Threatening to Kill GOP Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (Media Silent)Gateway Pundit ^ 04/19/10 Jim Hoft Monday, April 19, 2010

Dem Donor Arrested- Threatened to kill Republican Representative– Erik Pidrman threatened to murder GOP Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite. (WTSP) FBI agents arrested a Spring Hill man late Sunday for threatening to kill Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL).

The Orlando Sentinel reported: FBI agents and officials with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office say they have arrested a Spring Hill man on a charge of threatening harm against U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite. The Brooksville Republican’s office received a “telephonic threat” on March 25 from an unidentified male, authorities said.

Late Sunday, FBI agents and Hernando deputies arrested Erik Lawrence Pidrman, 66, at his Spring Hill home in connection with the threat. The charge is “threatening to assault or murder a US official,” according to FBI Special Agent Dave Couvertier. Hernando deputies and the FBI started a joint investigation after Brown-Waite’s Brooksville office received a telephonic threat.

This investigation is ongoing and the United States Attorney’s Office, Middle District of Florida, will handle the prosecution. Brown-Waite’s office released a text of the voicemail soon after it was received March 25. The caller stated: “Just wanna let you know I have 27 people that are going to make sure that this [expletive deleted] does not live to see her next term. Good-bye.”

Brown-Waite contacted the Capitol Police and the Hernando County Sheriff after receiving the message.

Hat Tip Kyle: Pidrman was arrested on drunk driving charges in 2006. Pidrman gave $250 to Hillary’s campaign in 2008. By the way… Bill Clinton today warned of “a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.” Maybe he should preach to his wife’s donors first. It could be a lifesaver.
