Caught Red-Handed: Blogger Nails Leftists Faking ‘Populist’ Protest

Remember when we told you last week that the radically-affiliated, anti-austerity group U.S. Uncut was planning “massive” grass-roots protests over this past tax weekend? Well it looks like they weren’t that popular.
Scott’s favorite blogger, “Zombie,” attended one such rally in San Francisco. Guess what he found?
Well, actually not much. Zombie showed up and had a hard time finding the protesters, who apparently numbered at most about 45 people. But what Zombie did find were a few videos of the group protesting inside a local Bank of America:
“As you can see, the entire event is highly rehearsed,” Zombie writes, “all the Uncutters have practiced their dance moves together ahead of time along with the marching band.” He explains:
US Uncut advertised this as the true populist uprising rally, as a contrast to the phony astroturfed Tea Party. But if you invite the public to a rally beginning at 5pm and running to 6:30pm, and the organizers show up as a group early at the assigned place and then depart ten minutes before the public even has a chance to join in; and then go on a flash-mob march that features rehearsed choreographed dances; then it becomes completely obvious that this isn’t a mass movement, but rather just a small activist group doing political skits which they had practiced ahead of time, with no public involvement whatsoever.
As if that doesn’t show enough, Zombie also found something else. Something he describes as showing the group is “busted:”
But wait — it gets much much worse. Another one of US Uncut’s official in-house videographers was also filming the day’s event, and put together a 13-minute video of the day’s entire protest. You can watch the whole thing here if you’re interested; but to save you time I took their own video and excerpted two crucial parts which reveal the utterly phony populism of the whole affair.
Now this will be interesting. Here’s the video Zombie put together. See if you can catch it:
It’s might not be completely obvious, so I’ll let Zombie explain:
[T]he first minute shows the SF US Uncut troupe doing their rehearsed and choreographed dance routine. As you watch it, pay close attention and note one of their members wearing a light beige shirt, sunglasses hanging around his neck, with a balding pate and a five-o’clock shadow. You can’t miss him in the crowd. But then keep watching. The second minute shows US Uncut about 15 minutes later after they have exited the bank and are now walking down the street. The videographer asks the exact same guy, “Are you here for this demonstration?”, to which he replies, “No, I’m just wandering by, but I think all corporations should pay their taxes!” Not satisfied that the performance was believable, the videographer then asks him to repeat the lie so that she can get a better take. Busted!
So to recap, here‘s Zombie’s argument: the “random” passerby was in the video from the beginning (and participated in the rehearsed dance), which seems to show either the group or at least the man felt the need to fake a populist gathering. In addition, there seems to be an “outtake” exchange between the videographer and the interviewee. That’s hard to prove unequivocally, as maybe the woman really just didn’t get a clear response. But, considering the video already shows the man was in on it from the beginning, it seems plausible.
You can watch the entire 13-minute video posted by “carolharveysf,” who seems to either be a part of the group or sympathetic to its cause, as she posted several videos from the event:
Zombie concludes:
Now, if an organized Tea Party group got caught interviewing one of their own members who falsely claimed to be just a random passerby who joined the protest on the spur of the moment, the left-leaning blogs and media would make it front page news, proof positive that Tea Party populism is fake and that it’s not really an authentic populist uprising.
Read Zombie’s entire post here. You’ll also be able to see more pictures and videos from the event.

Hey encino,
I don’t know about the number counts at any rallies, but I do know that they were not outnumbered at the polls, were they?
And please remember that the majority of folks that actually pay taxes, have to work in order to pay those taxes.

Posted on April 19, 2011 at 8:58pmAlso patriotdave, if you really want a one party system I suggest you get ready to fight for it. America was founded on different ideas and freedom for anyone to seek political office. Just because conservatives sat on their hands while liberals protested bush while he drove us into war and debt, I still realize that conservatives have some good ideas and I dont make wild generalizations about a whole group of my fellow americans. If you really are a patriot wake up and stop letting people like beck and hannity control you. The make millions by dividing the country and they obviously have most of the posters on the blaze in their well turned out pockets.

Posted on April 19, 2011 at 11:53pmI don’t get it… I mean… who cares if they protest banks. If banks and corporations don’t pay taxes then why should we? Banks are giving 1% interest if you are lucky yet they make 20% to 40%+ on credit cards and on loans… well you get the picture. They make a lot of money off of doing very little. Their business is enforced by the public police systems so they really only have to watch some money when it is in house and make smart loans. Why shouldn’t they be taxed for this extravagantly imbalanced interest/loan business which does very little other than to maintain records?
I don‘t care for communists and I don’t care for left wing idiots that hate our nation. Even so, if a bunch of left wing whatevers decides to protest that banks and corporations don’t pay taxes or that corporations have used NAFTA to circumvent United States law to flee to third world and communist nations in order to utilize slave communist labor, child labor, below minimum wage labor, or to bypass environmental or any laws that businesses and people have to follow here in the United States then I may jump out there with them. At very least, I would smile and think it very deserving. Banks are fleecing the people, corporations have shipped jobs over seas and since NAFTA more and more of our economic wealth as a nation has flowed to other nations, communist nations, than at any other time in history. In the middle of all of this, Republicans and Democrats seem to be oblivious to the situation. Actually, both parties seem to be completely complicit in all things that benefit everyone but the United States citizen. Why are these people wrong for protesting a bank? A bank?! I think we can find a lot more things going on to complain about that are worthy of attention. I hope they protest more banks. I don’t agree with a lot of what these people believe but I also do not see banks as friendly entities to people nor do they see money in the pocket of others as anything more or less than a target… and they are the very people who we are supposed to trust with our money.

Posted on April 20, 2011 at 3:54am“id proudly protest anyday against things like the war in iraq and equal rights,”
You’d protest against equal rights?
Actually that’s right—the left doesn’t care about true (moral) equality, only material equality, so carry on…

Posted on April 20, 2011 at 4:05pmVery funny zah, you know what I meant. Attacking a grammar mistake doesnt change my point at all. And no, thepatriotdave isnt asking for a return to two party politics, he is specifically saying that liberals have no correct policy positions and are crap for protesting anything because they are wrong about everything.

Posted on April 21, 2011 at 1:57pmHey, these are Nancy Pelosi constituents. What else can one expect. A preprogramned staged performance just like she led as the Speaker of the House of Repsentatives. Remember, she’s the one, along with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, that approved Barack Obama’s credentials and okayed his American Citizenship without any substancial proof, like a birth certificate.
I recently had to renew my Texas drivers license and guess what I had to produce, my birth certificate. I’m a 72 year old nobody and lifetime Texan but needed to prove I am who I say I am. Over 2 1/2 years ago Barack Obama was elected to be the President and we still don‘t know if he’s who he claims to be.
