Following the NYPD’s sweep through Zuccotti Park early on Tuesday morning, the Washington DC headquarters of Brookfield Properties (the company that owns the park) was targeted by OWS followers.
It all started when a group estimated to number around 300 marched to the White House and “invited” the President to join their movement.
Perhaps they were not aware that the President was halfway around the world in Hawaii, en route to Australia.
AFP reports, however, that the White House was not the final destination of the protesters. The offices of Brookfield Properties were the target of an upset swarm of OWS protesters:
…a third of the marchers (about 100 people) burst into the lobby of a building housing the Washington offices of Brookfield Properties, owners of the Manhattan park where Occupy Wall Street had until Tuesday been centered.
What message did the Occupiers want to send to Brookfield Properties?
According to the AFP story;
“We are here to let them (Brookfield) know that we are the 99 percent and that we are here to occupy for a very long time,” shouted the crowd as police and security guards kept to the side.
The threat to “occupy for a very long time” was quickly defined, as just ten minutes after arriving at Brookfield, they “moved on.”
The occupation of Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan lasted from September 17th until early in the morning on November 15th – almost two months or about 83,520 minutes. The “Occupation” of Zuccotti’s owners headquarters (the lobby of the building) lasted all of 10.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 8:12pmHoo boy–ten whole minutes. Too bad it wasn’t long enough to make Brookfield Properties REALLY pissed off, enough to call the police. Apparently you can poop in the park, but I think carousing in the lobby is perceived as a bigger deal.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 7:34pmWere they also going to shoot the President if he decided not to join?
Are they going to throw Molotov cocktails at the President and museums on the mall too?
Are they going to rape the First Lady, then ask her not to report it? (don’t want the bad publicity ya know)
Are they going to cut the chains and break into and trespass on the White House and occupy it too?
That’s what they are doing all over the country right now… these are Obama’s people, these are Nancy Pelosi’s people, these are Piven’s, Ayers and Van Jones people…
This is what the Democratic Party looks like.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 8:20pmThis is the coming storm soon enough; the fact is clear that chaos cannot be contained or managed, the Progressives and especially Van Jones and Obama will soon enough feel the wrath of them or turn on them with massive and oppressive force.
I have a feeling that Mr Obama and the rest of the progressives are beginning to see that the madness they are unleashing may consume them as well as all around them in one massive storm they cannot stop or direct.
A mob is like a wildfire, left on its own, it takes ever more resources to extinguish and control; if it reaches a critical flashpoint, then it becomes a self propagating fire storm and cannot be stopped.

Posted on November 17, 2011 at 12:34amThat’s the problem when you build a monster to go after enemies… the monster is generally a mindless killing machine and doesn’t know who is who… in the end, the monster comes back and kills its creator…
The progressives all cheered and were loving this, they thought they actually created an anti-Tea Party Movement…
problem is with thugs, crooks, criminals and opportunists… they will kill, rape and pillage everyone and anything they can once you enable and empower them…. then they decide they want more, so everyone, including the progressive wind up in their sights and they go after them…
The progressives think they are using OWS… OWS is using the Progressives to get a free pass on media blackouts of much of the bad events they’ve caused, liberal judges siding with them on obvious civil and legal violations, mayors all pretending their is nothing they can do and union police, allowing violence to happen….
This just makes these animals bolder… they are testing the waters, taking one more footstep outside of their safety zone, just to see how much more they can get away with and they will keep moving more and more violent if not shut down and scorned by the media and society as a whole, until people start spitting on them, turning their backs on them and the media truthfully portrays them, they are getting away with murder, rape and violence.

Posted on November 16, 2011 at 7:14pmI bought dark blue stick pens (500 for about 75 bucks) with “Constitutional Revolution” and “Ron Paul 2012” printed on them. I leave them EVERYWHERE.
I also had about 200 business cards printed up, same color, same message and I slide them into magazines, books, places where pens can’t go.
Only ONE candidate repeatedly states to go back to the constitution, to get rid of the patriot act and executive orders, to bring our military home, to reduce spending, to reduce taxes, to cut red tape and start making our OWN products (like we used to…putting AMERICANS to work).

Report Post »I like how the “well informed” lice farmers invited Obama to join them (birds of a feather?) with the campaigner-in-chief on another continent at the time. Maybe those “geniuses” at OWS headquarters can “cyborg” it up and have Obama “beam in” his support? Or perhaps they can just “use the force” to conjure him? There’s lots of products that can clean out the 99% if all household germs…NYPD seems to be the most effective.
