Is This a Picture of SEIU Mastermind Stephen Lerner at Occupy Chicago?

Oct. 11, 2011 3:56pm Jonathon M. Seidl

The Blaze was the first news outlet in the spring to uncover a plot to bring down the U.S. economy through unrest aimed at banks. That plan is now unfolding, and the one person who’s been connected with it (and laid it out) is SEIU organizer Stephen Lerner.

Recently we brought you video of him talking about getting ready to “terrify” D.C., and other audio of him has surfaced talking about the plan to march to the homes of the New York City rich (which is happening today) and the unrest spreading to Chicago. So maybe it should come as no surprise that a photo has surfaced showing someone who appears to be a spitting image of Lerner in the middle of the Chicago protests:

Here’s a few pictures of him to compare:

If the photo is actually of Lerner in Chicago (and it certainly seems it is), it is potentially damning. Add it to the list of evidence showing the Occupy movement isn’t a grassroots outcry from fed-up, ordinary citizens. Rather, it’s something that has been manufactured by the unions all along (we connected those dots earlier this week).

But wait, that sounds like something we brought you in spring.

Lets all get together and go to his house and yell and wiggle our fingers in front of it for a few days. Course he probably isn’t gonna be home for a few years while he ruins other peoples lives. Probably isn’t even married any way – no one would be foolish enough to marry him, not even a guy.

  I agree, I would like to add to your can of logic. I have for years been waiting for the UN to leave the US. When this happens, I expect the nations of the world to form the final alliance that will usher in the final millenium. Oops, crazy, talk from a Christian.

If there ever was a guy who deserved some prison time, this is the guy.
I liked the third photo where you see the hideous tumor growing out of the side of his head…reminded me of Ray Milland and Rosie Grier.

anyone who doesn’t believe these “occupiers” aren’t just sheeple led by agenda driven leftist/socialists must be one of the sheeple.

Unrelated: Has Google relegated The Blaze to a lower search result position? Normally I type in “The Blaze” into the search field and the link to this sight pops up. Not anymore.

  Not surprised considering the way Google leans. I also wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it’s the same way with Yahoo. I quit using Google long ago and have been using Bing.
  Screw Google and Facebook. I wouldn’t be surprised, also, to hear that Google has helped and provided the server to run Obama’s many websites.

  @ Beneupho,
  
  I”m not a fan of Google, but either you typed the wrong word(s), or are living in an alternate reality.
  
  On Google, I typed both “The Blaze” and “Blaze”, and both times, The Blaze homepage was the #1 result both times.
  
  But I do agree with you that Google has manipulated search results, and there are plenty of articles that can be found that prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It seems to me that this is sedition – and that his presence, if it is him, reinforces his involvement.

I hope people remember that sedition is a crime. Van Jones calling for massive protests – and promising them to “take back America for the workers” or whatever he said about the “American Autumn” is also seditious. Is anyone paying attention!?

He was there checking cards like a good union business agent. We have to organize these non-union protesters. I mean, after all, there are dues to be collected.

Hahahahahah!!!! Was just listening to HANNITY as he was trying to converse with one these flakes. Forget it. You can’t reason with fools. Rant, rant, rant…Sure they’re dangerous as they seem very animalistic and undisciplined.

  Nancy’s too busy with her delayed disclosure on her husband’s big land deal with an ambassador. Good thing Holder got that terrorist so she’s got a place to hide.

Well, I guess they would not be doing their jobs if they didn’t check on the employees and lend a little moral support.

Is this a surprise? What baffles me if this is a grassroots “poor people” uprising, why do the “protesters” not kill the rich amongst them. They are all over this crowd, faces they should know if there informed. P.S. I am a “poor” person (money wise), at least in America.

  Indeed. The final part of the Progressives yet to be played out is who will turn on who with them first; which Progressive will be the one seeking to hold all in the end?
