imageProfiling protesters in the Occupy (fill-in-the-blank) Movement, which copycats the Revolution in Cairo that turned Egypt back to Muslim Brotherhood control, can be best done in four familiar words: “Same old, same old”. The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) are the same activists who pour onto the streets to burn cars and smash windows during G20 and G8 gatherings. While they go to great lengths to claim representation of the masses, they are at the beck and call of the same political leaders they supposedly rise up against.
They represent organizations who are on government grants and which are sustained by public donations. Think Greenpeace and Code Pink. The Occupy crowd want average working people to believe their protests are spontaneous; that their carefully crafted fairytales always have a happy ending; that in this case, they work only to save the world from banks and greedy corporations. (If only!) They are on the payrolls of the same people they pretend to protest. Their leaders originate in the Movement that saw the environmentalists rewrite the pickets of the Peace Movement after the ‘Make (fill-in-the-blank) a Nuclear Weapons-Free City' passed its fashionista faze.

The numbers of disaffected youth joining the public park mobs increase as the years go by with public education propagandizing, rather than educating, students on an uninterrupted basis. The mainstream media worldwide portrays park protesters sleeping on plastic sheets and huddling together in tents while out on long nights of Occupy Duty. Police who know them better than any have long known that only the diehards can be found shivering on site overnight. Their leaders, who work in shifts, are home with their families in the convenience and warmth of houses more mansion than house. John Clarke of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) out in Saturday’s OccupyToronto protest was once clocked by Toronto Free Press forerunner to Canada Free Press (CFP) sleeping the latest protest off at home while OCAP protesters were getting an early morning wake up call from the local constabulary. A textbook example of ‘Socialists at Work’, Chapter ‘In Solidarity with Park Occupiers from the Comfort of Bed’. (See: Portrait of a poverty pimp CFP, August 17, 1999) Courageous Kathy Shaidle of FiveFeetofFury.com fame correctly pegged Clarke as a “poverty pimp” in her weekend coverage of OccupyToronto. Unlike vampires of urban legend fame, protest leaders only come out in daytime, preferably in sunshine when they can depend on the media being there for photo ops. The rank and file of the protest show an innocent face marked by endless photos of them strumming guitars under the moon, practicing yoga and hiding behind hoodies. But they are being paid up to $600 a week to ‘protest’. As time moves on, the rank and file are bound to give protest organizers trouble. Their heart isn’t in the movement. They can only flash signs reading ‘F#@k Capitalism’, beat drums, and shout chants. Most everything else is above their pay grade. Trained by the Tides Foundation-funded Ruckus Society about how to perform ‘Civil Disobedience’ and how far police can be pushed, the only training they can be counted on to remember is Mama’s toilet training. Lazy louts who hang out in suburban basements where doting Mamas deliver their dinner on a tray, the rank and file of the Occupy Movement don’t do much heavy lifting. They’re already showing signs of forgetting their training in displaying anti-semitic sentiments, confusing police cars with port-a-potties and other identifying traits. Protester organizers are in a race against time that depends on circumstances more worrisome than inclement weather. The loyalty of their rank and file always runs out as soon as the money does. They can’t replace shiftless youth with working people who go to work, not to protests. As the clock ticks toward November 6, 2012, the union leaders, Greenpeace and Code Pink et al will be out on the hustings delivering pamphlets and planting lawn signs. Meanwhile, they’ll never regret how they emboldened and made arrogant the latest foot soldiers who finished writing the script in the narrative to re-elect someone who once changed his name from Barry Soetoro to Barack Hussein Obama.
