Back to Basics

Occupy Wall Street is back and gearing up for its latest round of attacks against America. Not surprisingly, the OWS crowd set May 1st, aka May Day, aka International Workers’ Day, aka a socialist holiday, to once again disrupt society and launch their spring offensive. Based on history, OWS is sure to become more and more “offensive” as the year rolls on. And yes, lest there be any doubt, I am indeed talking about the odor that the unbathed hordes will be giving off from the filth they will be wallowing in by about June 1st.

In San Francisco the left kicked things off a day early by smashing up cars and businesses in the Mission District [1]. Of course, as is often the case with the left, they quickly blamed the violence on “outsiders” (aka other people) who are not part of their “peaceful” movement. Taking their cue from President Obama, who often blames everyone else for his failures, the OWS crew of misfits has no shortage of other people prepared to point fingers at. Who would ever believe that leftists would resort to committing acts of violence, vandalism and disruption right? I mean there has never, ever been a leftist that promoted such thing! Ok, ignore, Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Chavez, Castro, et al. But other than them … no other leftist ever promotes such horrid things right? Uh huh.

As much as they protest, the entire OWS movement has been nothing but one big orgy of violent activity as leftists do what leftists do. The left claims that they do not support such things, yet everywhere they pop up these sorts of activities happen. It is like the arsonist who lights a match and then says that the building did not burn down because of his actions. Oh no. “It was the match!” screams the arsonist before the judge. “The match set the fire!”

Yes. But who struck the match?

The fact is that the OWS movement is just the latest front group for leftists who want to incite their fellow travelers to take to the streets. They stand up on their soapboxes with bullhorn to lips and rail endlessly against the evil corporations, the vile Jews, the despicable banks and the wicked one percent. Yes, even though it is the one percent who are paying the freight and the monstrous bills those on the left have racked up over their years of running American into the ground. They tell those who listen how things are so bad and how there is no way out without ending what are seen as the sources of all wickedness. They then name those that must be taken out. They light the matches. Then the foot soldiers are dropped into the tinder. Like the match that falls from the arsonist’s hand, the hordes spread out and wreck havoc. The building burns down.

No, no, no, their leaders continue to shout as intelligent people connect the dots. They say there are troublemakers in all crowds who take messages incorrectly and that they cannot be held to account for people that have misinterpreted their calls to rise up against the wrongs and right them in the name of socialist revolution. Yet it is funny.

A charitable cause way of the Party on the Right:

Everyday, helpless occupiers are arrested, and jailed. They are crying out for help.

For just $18 a month, only 60 cents a day, you can help rescue occupiers from their police state abusers.

Here’s the touching video. If this doesn’t make you shed a tear and dig deep to help these poor souls, nothing will:

Riots are the exclusive domain of those who view themselves as outside the law. Whether they are outside the law because they are above or below it is a matter of perspective. The rioters may see  themselves as the oppressed who are below the law while their victims tend to think of them as above the law, with the power to rob and kill, without paying any significant price for it. All that is true whether we are talking about Russian peasants killing Jews, Indonesians killing ethnic Chinese or African-Americans killing whites.

The riot is usually directed at the authorities or some vulnerable group, sometimes both, but invariably one of them takes precedence. The authorities prefer that the rioters direct their rage at a conveniently vulnerable group and afterward the vulnerable group takes the blame for the violence directed at them. The rioters treat those few of their number who were killed in the looting spree as martyrs, while the rioted-upon pick up the broken glass and try to reopen their stores again.

Minorities rarely riot against majorities for the practical reason that rioters are cowards and they want to have the numbers on their side. A riot is less often a symptom of injustice and more often a sign that they have the numbers and that all they need is a pretext to go out for a fine day of looting and maiming. A riot isn’t a response to injustice, it’s a power play by people who believe that they are above the law and that their victims are outnumbered.

It’s a rather odd development that white people in America took on the role of the Chinese in Indonesia or the Jews in Russia, long before they became a demographic minority, but not entirely so. Race riots have mostly happened in cities where white people had become or were on the way to becoming a minority. And all three groups share the vital characteristic of being hard-working types whose success is overestimated by the looters looking for a taste of that success without having to go out and work for it.

The hated groups are not satisfied with their lot in life, instead they go out and strive for more possessed of the peculiar belief that they can rise above their station in life through hard work and ingenuity. Their neighbors rarely appreciate this attitude. In their world someone who has more than they do probably stole it from them. And when they booze up and riot, they’re only getting back what’s rightfully theirs.

In the mythology of the looters, they are the persecuted ones, and when the government sympathizes with the looters, that is the message it sends out. The mythology of a white grip on power driven by bone deep racism and privilege has its echoes in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as a conspiracy theory that justifies every act of violence against them.

But if riots were really triggered by a black and white racial disparity, then Asians wouldn’t be the victims of African-American riot rage from New York to Los Angeles. If anyone can be exempted from charges of shipping slaves or conspiring to employ their privilege to keep people of color down, it would be Chinese and Korean immigrants.

May Day made it the perfect time to go to an Occupy protest and ask the obvious:

On Tuesday, The Blaze went down to Malcolm X park in Washington D.C. which played host to the much-touted Occupy May Day protests. We were interested in finding the answer to one question:

“So, what is the best alternative to Capitalism?”

Take it from there, Occupiers:

Julia won’t mind a couple of those people moving in with her, will she?

People taking advantage of their right to protest who say they’d like to see communism take the place of our system of government never cease to amaze. They’ll never quite understand the irony until they and their signs are stuck to the undersides of tanks.

I want this on a t-shirt:

Is that Elizabeth Warren in the background?

Bonus: May Day protesters can’t explain their signs or their cause.

…you better come prepared with ammunition.

Tonight on Hannity, Juan Williams tried to deflect attention from the endemic violence and anarchy of the Occupy movement by talking about the “racism in some parts of the Tea Party” and “jokes about monkeys and the president.”

I asked him to name names.

His response? 1) You find it for me and 2) I don’t have any evidence.

No, really:

Williams then deflected again by talking about Tea Party activists who were “rude” to members of Congress…as if this was in any way comparable to the window-smashing, arson, rape, property destruction, railroad sabotage, thematic calls for violent revolution, murder, overthrow and anarchy, Molotov cocktail-throwing, and bridge bomb-plotting perpetrated by Occupy members and leaders from coast to coast.

Desperate to help Williams out after he failed to bring the goods, a few liberal Twitter users scrounged up this (from an elderly Orange County Republican Party official who is only described as a “Tea Party leader” by the left-wing alternative publication that broke the story) and this (from a loser Ron Paul nut who called himself a “Tea Party candidate” but had zero constituency).

Hard-working, rule of law-respecting, tax-paying, job-generating Tea Party activists are sick and tired of the smears and false equivalency between their movement and the organized, poo-flinging pawns of Occupy Wall Street.

But we knew long ago it was the only card they had to play…

It’s May Day. I’m occupying my job, how about you?

The Occupiers are out wreaking havoc, breaking windows, cursing at cops, and telling everyone else not to work.

In other words: Just another day at the office. I mean encampment. Or streets. Or parents’ basement. Or whatever.

Twitter follower and cartoonist John Richards sent me this pic he drew that tells you everything you need to know (and I’ve been reporting) about the Occupy tools and their backers:

And much more on the May Day mob scene here. Don’t click if you have high blood pressure.

Over at PJ Media, intrepid moonbat-spotter Zombie has a ton of pictures from the latest wacko-palooza in California. This particular march-of-the-femguins took place on Saturday to protest the fabricated, contrived and bogus “war on women” that the GOP isn’t undertaking.

A couple of samples from the full collection:

She’s serious you guys… somebody please make her a sandwich. No kidding… do it now! Somebody make her a f*#cking sandwich quick!

John Goodman’s really let himself go:

I’m guessing it’s very private property. I hear even her vibrator committed suicide.

My wallet’s private property too, but she doesn’t give a shit.

And here’s one promoting a communist website (revcom.us) underneath the baby killing propaganda.

These are the people Obama’s “fighting for.”

Last time I reported on the Occupy Northern California brigades, they were obstructing vital port commerce, terrorizing property owners and destroying storefronts in the name of peace and justice.

Well, they’re back.

Over the weekend, Occupy Oakland committed thousands of dollars worth of vandalism again during an anti-police rally. Occupy San Francisco took over a vacant Catholic archdiocese building and held a veritable feast to celebrate the trespassing.

Pay attention. These mobs will be escalating again for the next month leading up to May Day.

No law-abiding, tax-paying business owner is safe.

Occupiers are getting evicted from their squatteries and now they’re looking for an inviting place to stay — a “mom’s basement away from home.”

Do any of you want to offer accommodations to these people?

After two months camping in New York’s Zuccotti Park – and sparking similar so-called occupations of public spaces around the United States – Occupy Wall Street protesters were evicted by authorities and have since been scattered around the city.

Some churches offered a place to stay to some of the several hundred people who had traveled to New York to join the protest, while the group has appealed online for more people to “host an occupier in your home and help sustain the movement.”

I’m sure OWS celebrity supporters in New York like Alec Baldwin and Russell Simmons have already offered up every room in their homes in order to help sustain the movement.

I’d love to tell an occupier “mi casa es su crapper,” but we’re renovating.

If you do decide to host an occupier, the group guarantees his or her stay will last no longer than a decade and that your living room will be left just as it was found… provided it was found like this:
