In the case of the hibernating OWS members, the weather is helping the rest of us.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow--all over OWS

Commuters: Your best defense against protesters who would keep you from getting to work turns out to be the weather.
That’s because if the wind is howling in subzero temps and the snow is falling, the protesters will be where they spend 90 percent of their time: hunkered down in Mommy’s over-heated basement. In the upside-down world we live in, folks who actually earn money by going to work are held back by those paid pocket money for protesting rather than having the inconvenient necessity of having to hold down a real job. While the working stiffs have to be there to get paid for their work, the money paid to supposed “grassroots” protesters comes from a never-ending stream. Todays’ protesters aren’t showing up because they believe in the cause, they are being paid to turn out. “George Soros pumped at last $33 million into Ferguson protests,” according to the Washington Times.

It wasn’t snowing in Boston when Rent-a-Mob protesters paid by Soros were out in force on Thursday for what the Boston Globe described as “their most audacious and disruptive demonstration yet in the Boston area”. “Protesters affiliated with the activist group Black Lives Matter carried out their most audacious and disruptive demonstration yet in the Boston area Thursday, blocking the largest highway into the city, snarling rush-hour traffic, and stopping an ambulance in its tracks. (Boston Globe, Jan. 15, 2015).
“In a pair of coordinated surprise actions that angered commuters, the protesters formed human barricades on Interstate 93 north of the city in Medford, and south, in Milton. Some put barrels filled with concrete on the highway and chained themselves to them. Twenty-nine protesters were arrested.” “State Police said some of the protesters had worn diapers, apparently expecting the protest to last for hours. The highway did not fully reopen until 9:45 a.m.”
If only they were made to suck on soothers after they diaper up. There’s nothing like money to get the malcontents living in their Mom’s basements off their butts, especially when it’s money the tax man will never get to see. Soros and his army of malcontents may be able to outfox the tax man, but not the weather man. Aside from the odd turnout such as the one in Boston Thursday, Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists out looting and burning down property in Ferguson, and keeping people from getting to their jobs in New York City, Boston and elsewhere, will be in hibernation until winter has passed. OWS millennials begin hibernating in mom’s basements as soon as the weather turns nasty. Not for these diaper-wearing little sissies grown tall to have Jack Frost nipping at their trusty iPad fingers and Gucci-booted toes. Hiding behind their face masks so Auntie Tiffany won’t recognize them and spill the beans to Ma, the OWS boys aren’t the spitfires Revolutionary Communist Party USA Chairman Bob Avakian needs them to be to keep his revolution rolling on the streets through long, frigid winters. Neither Avakian’s orders nor Soros’ money can force them to lick envelopes or do other off-street duty to keep the revolution going. Licking envelopes, they’ll tell you, is for the likes of Nancy Pelosi. When the sign you hoist out on the protest is not even of your ow making; when the cause is something you don’t really believe in down at heart; when you only get out to protest for the sake of protesting, and when you can’t always be bothered to pick up your latest marching orders from revcom.us, your already sputtering candle’s bound to burn down to a melted stump, and you can’t muster enough energy to knock yourself out. Oh, the headaches being a fomenter for revolution when your main foot soldiers only want to come in from the cold and eat and sleep! Oh, the frustration when even millions of dollars can’t coax the sissies back out onto the streets! Savvy millennials know that when Chairman Bob gets to tell them off, he’s calling them all the way from faraway France, where he’s living ‘underground’. Even with Obama, Al Sharpton, Bill de Blasio and Eric Holder on your side, life can be tough when you’re fomenting for revolution 40 years on. Who knew the 20-something year olds in the looting and burning protest rank and file would see belligerent bully, 71-year-old Bob as “an old dear” with a bossy Hillary Clinton-type personality? EVERYONE, even OWS protesters, talks about the weather. They talked about it so much when grumpy Avakian was in his salad years, the radical group to which he belonged called itself The Weathermen. And the weather ain’t fit for man or beast in January, February or in March winds colder than snow. No one wants to run gourmet meals out to the millennials in Ferguson and NYC streets, like they did in 2011 when OWS first stepped out into the glare of mainstream media publicity. Lazing about in their signature PJs, millennials have lots of time for ruminating. Some have finally figured it out that they should be the big bossman like Avakian and Al Sharpton. They’re asking themselves, ‘Why do only the top guns get to do the bossing around?’ “If my parents didn’t have to pay taxes like the reverend, I wouldn’t be stuck with Mom’s meatloaf, Mac and Cheese and spaghetti six times a week!.’ When protesters refuse to come out when they get the call, they can always blame it on climate change, because global warming or not: “Baby, it’s cold out there.” Not likely they’ll ever find the truth and wisdom in the little book ‘Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence’ ‘The Secret of Peace and Happiness, by Father Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure, and St. Claude de la Colombiere, particularly about the weather and ‘In the Natural Incidents of our daily lives’:
“...Not only should we wish the weather to be as it is because God has made it so but, whatever inconvenience it may cause us, we should repeat with the three youths in the fiery furnace:  Cold, heat, snow and ice, lightnings and clouds, winds and tempests, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever.  The elements themselves are blessing and glorifying God by doing His holy will, and we also should bless and glorify Him in the same way. Besides, even if the weather is inconvenient for us, it may be convenient for someone else. If it prevents us from doing what we want to do, it may be helping another. And even if it were not so, it should be enough for us that it is giving glory to God and that it is God who wishes it to be as it is.”
Besides, even if the weather is inconvenient for us, it may be convenient for someone else. If it prevents us from doing what we want to do, it may be helping another. In the case of the hibernating OWS members, the weather is helping the rest of us.
