On Wednesday morning, The Blaze’s national security expert and former CIA analyst Buck Sexton, appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio program to discuss his new book on the Occupy movement, “Occupy: American Spring.”
Sexton, who spent more than his “fair share” of time among the Wall Street Occupiers, came to know the real influences, ideologies and goals of those who comprise the volatile movement — from the reformers who make up its softer side, to the neo-Marxists and outright anarchists who embody Occupy’s more militant sect.
Of note, Sexton observed that mainstream media has featured the movement as merely a group of disaffected citizens who are fighting the good fight against income inequality. But they are not getting the entire picture.
He explained to Beck that when “MSNBC shows up” to interview members of Occupy, the narrative spun is typically the familiar meme: “Wall Street got bailed out while Main Street was left holding the bag.” What is not being heard is the vitriol espoused by the other two-thirds of the movement, including its ”black bloc” anarchists who advocate violence against police officers for no reason other than their deep-seated animus for law enforcement.
If you think you know Occupy, watch the interview below and be sure to read Sexton’s in-depth analysis. What you learn may shock you.

Van Jones stated to tear down America would be depicted in upheaval from the inside out. These Libs need to be voted out!!
If all you do is vote them out, they can be re-elected anytime. I have much more permanent solution in mind. Just like their buddies the jihadists though, you must kill them ALL to be rid of the problem.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 3:08pmThat Anonymous group started it all with their “Day of Rage” on September 17, 2011. The lefties co-opted it and turned it into something even more ridiculous. The only thing they proved was that even leftward-leaning city governments can be pushed too far.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 2:29pmI sometimes wonder if “Black Bloc” (you know the anarchist types in their ninjaesque sports gear) have their own range somewhere in the countryside, where they heave sidewalk containers at windows with the Starbucks or Seven Eleven logo.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 1:50pmThe book is really good..got it last night, finished reading it this morning. Nice to have a camels nose under the tent so to speak. It proved to be a confirmation of the data I’ve been compiling..same analysis. We need to be watching for a violent summer of discontent that’s used to push the government to come down from the top and clamp everything shut. Second amendment is in dire straits.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 1:47pmRon Paul said he supports the OWS movement and is also featured on the Occupy Wall Street site. So IMO… anyone who supports OWS in any way shape or form and gives aid and comfort (as he does our Islamic enemies) is also one of “the real forces” behind this movement… if only in rhetoric.
Not to mention tons of his supporters have been seen at many of the OWS sponsored events right along side the “other” leftists.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 3:31pmMAMA. If you think my comments are JUST about Ron Paul, then you’re as big a rube as his acolytes. But hey, I‘m glad you were able to get something off your chest if that’s what you needed at this moment in time. Maybe your time would be better spent researching WHY I write what I do regarding Paul and his little r3volution eh?

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 4:31pmI didn’t say EVERY single post you make is about Ron Paul, I don’t know why you would assume that from what I said. But be honest with yourself, what percentage of your posts contain at least one reference to Ron Paul? Then LOOK AT YOUR USERNAME. Tell me you’re not obsessed with hating ron paul – it’s obvious.
Report Post »I know why people don’t like Ron Paul, I always research both the good and the bad about any candidate I may support. You don‘t have to love him or agree with his politics or support his candidacy but it’s a waste of breath at this point to slander him. He poses no threat to your business-as-usual-GOP anymore. Start digging dirt on Romney and Obama since they’re the most relevant contenders for the presidency now.

The title page on Revolutionary Communist Progressive Labor Party. Notice the title says “Communists”, “Progessive”, Labor.
So what does it tell you?
progressive = labor = communist
On the same page, you find the following:
April 28, May 1
The above dates are the days that OWS (Occupy Wall Street) is going to shut down
Oakland, Los Angeles, and New York City.
Thus OWS is a COMMUNIST MOVEMENT being held by Communists aka
Progressives aka Labor.
Don’t like Labor being included with Communists? Then why is labor
buddying up with Communists and Progressives. It is all the same. If
you are labor, ask your leaders what the hell they are doing !!!!
This page really tells you all you need to know about OWS and Progressives.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 1:34pmThose particular black bock groups want no law so they can plunder and steal, then whine when their azzes get shot. We owe them nothing, but they owe us to act like they are in America and not some African backward jungle environment. If they want, there are planes leaving everyday. They will not turn America into a third world country. So let it be known, they are in the wrong place and wrong time to put all our work on a curve to make up for their laziness.
