‘Occupy Clergy’ Lead Invasion of Church-Owned Land To Kick Off Re-Occupation

New York City police have arrested about 50 Occupy Wall Street protesters who scaled a chain-link fence leading to a church-owned lot next to Duarte Square that the Occupiers want to use as their replacement camp for Zuccotti Park.

Clergy not only gave speeches emboldening the Occupiers’ illegal activity– some of them participated in the illegal takeover of private property in broad daylight and with the NYPD close at hand.

Protesters used a wooden ladder to help scale the lot fence, and one man wearing a Santa suit stood among the protesters on the ladder as others cheered. While officers made arrests, protesters chanted obscenities and screamed: “Make them catch you!”

About 500 people people gathered across the street at a city-owned Duarte park and watched as the melee ensued in fenced-off D-17. Other protestors lifted up the chain link fence surrounding Duarte park and stormed the empty lot. Once inside, Occupiers shouted slogans and awaited for the inevitable police response, which came moments later when officers clad in riot gear began making arrests.

Since Zuccotti Park was shut down by Mayor Bloomberg last month,  protesters have been looking for another site from which to base their Occupy Wall Street movement. Trinity Church, a well-known episcopal congregation that owns the D-17 lot space has refuse the Occupiers entry to the space on the grounds it would be unsafe for them to camp there. For this stance, Trinity Church officials have received criticism not just from the Occupiers, but other clergy for this stance.

The New York Times reported earlier this week that fellow religious leaders are adding to the pressure on clergy to give Occupiers access to the private lot, including the Rev. Milind Sojwal, the rector of All Angels Church, an Episcopal parish on the Upper West Side, who said “Trinity Church had a fantastic opportunity to be a Christlike presence by openings its doors to the protesters. And I believe Trinity blew it.”

In addition, world-renowned Archbishop Desmond Tutu has weighed in on the side of the Occupy protestors in this dispute, and in an open letter has requested that Trinity church give them the Duarte Square space:

“Sisters and Brothers, I greet you in the Name of Our Lord and in the bonds of common friendship and struggle from my homeland of South Africa. I know of your own challenges and of this appeal to Trinity Church for the shelter of a new home and I am with you! May God bless this appeal of yours and may the good people of that noble parish heed your plea, if not for ease of access, then at least for a stay on any violence or arrests.”

That Trinity’s rector, the Rev. James H. Cooper, is not only sympathetic to the protestors, but has also provided them with meeting spaces, resting areas, pastoral services, electricity, bathrooms, blankets and hot chocolate in the past apparently makes no difference to the Occupiers.

This should be taken as a signal of what is to come in 2012. Give the Occupiers an inch, and they’ll take a city block.

Earlier in the day, before the fence-scaling and coordinated trespassing, I spent several hours at the Occupation. Even then, it was clear that the Occupiers intended to establish a beachhead, or get arrested in the process– it was just a question of when they would make their move.

In a pamphlet the Occupiers handed me when I arrived, under the headline “Sanctuary for Occupy,” the protestors wrote this of the first day of Occupy 2.0, or the “Re-Occupy” effort:

“Marking the thee months of Occupy Wall Street and the one year anniversary of the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, which sparked the Arab Spring, an all day performance events with support from more than 1400 faith leaders, elders of the civil rights movement, prominent artists, and community members…Re-Occupy is part of a call…in the wake of coordinated attacks and subsequent evictions.”

I stood in the middle of the crowd and saw the usual flotsam and jetsam of leftist causes that have come to typify any Occupy gathering. The first order of business, right as the protest kicked off in Duarte Square, was for one of the legal advisors to announce to the crowd the phone number they should call in the event of arrest.

As Occupiers were standing in a public park and the police had no inclination to bother them– ever after widespread and illegal usage of amplified sound devices– it was obvious that someone was going to scale the fence. But first, they had to rally the troops, so to speak, and get everyone in the frame of mind to break the law and perhaps brave some pepper spray.

The Occupation Puppets, a street performance group, did an Occupy Wall Street version of a Christmas Carol, complete with Mayor Bloom-scrooge as the villain.

"Bloom-scrooge"

The stench and wafting fumes of marijuana from the crowd caused some unpleasant coughing, but otherwise it was a predictable and uneventful amateur street performance. Bloomberg is rich, he evicted the Occupiers, and now they plan on ridiculing and harassing him until they get their way.

To drive home this point, the Occupiers taught the crowd a song with Mayor Bloomberg’s home address in the lyrics, in case they decide to march on his private home and make a scene outside it.

Once the puppet show was over,  some of the more familiar organizer took the stage (actually a bench). Some of them were familiar faces from a number of other Occupy events, including the speaker, Amin, who was part of a New York magazine profile of the Occupy movement.

Amin set out the general premise of the D-17 Duarte Square protest, which can be roughly translated as “we want Trinity church’s space, and we won’t leave until we get it.”:

Right after that was a speech given by Episcopal Bishop George Packard, who according to Occupy’s main twitter account was the first person to illegally scale the fence at Duarte Square:

Then I heard this priest discuss Occupy as the second-coming of the Christian reformation sparked by Martin Luther:

There was also a priest who compared Occupy Wall Street to the struggles of gay, lesbian, and transgendered people for equality This clergyman said, in part:

“We had to fight the church too, how ironic, we are the church…We want this space, we need this space, gay and lesbian people have spent 50 years trying to get a little space, now we queer people…are gonna hold onto your tails, and be pulled into our own space,

because your oppressions are our oppressions, people or color, people of handicaps, people of different sexual orientations… we are america, and without diversity we are not america, so look around, its the queerest crowd, you’ve ever seen, here’s to us, hip hip, hooray”

Here is a clip of that speech:

But in a taste of what was to come a few hours later, another priest declared that once the protestors Occupy Duarte Square, it would become “Sacred Space.”

I thought the storming of the fences would come at night when it would be harder for police to contain, so I left Duarte with the idea of returning when the twitter feeds lit up with ominous “gather now” messages or perhaps S.O.S. calls from the first wave of arrested Occupiers.

They didn’t wait for sundown, and they certainly didn’t wait for a phone call with an agreement from Trinity United church. They jumped right over the fences, knowing they’d be arrested. Anyone who had any questions about this movement‘s intentions in 2012 should pay close attention to today’s events.

The Occupiers will not rest until they find another hub from which to launch protests and civil disobedience around the city, and their efforts will likely be mirrored across the country. They remain organized and motivated.

As 2011 comes to a close, get ready for Occupy 2.0 to raise the stakes in 2012.

Nor did the so called “faith leaders, ‘elders’ of the civil rights movement, the Congressional Black Caucus, the looney tune ‘ fake priest’ espousing gay civil rights, or their radical union leadership, come together spontaneously.

This is the face of the leaders of the One World Religion, many who have false coversions will ascribe to it and many already have. It is not Biblical Christianity, it is corrupted and perverted and most of these people have such itching ears and are so full of the lies and knowledge of men that they themselves do not even realize they are wolves and agents of Satan.

      Absolutely agree – judgement needs to start in the Lord’s house. Those that aren’t called by the Almighty, those that called themselves or their families called them, those that have no relationship with the Lord need to be removed. Acts 5 the story Ananias, with Sapphira his wife lieing to the Holy Spirit and falling dead as a consequence and that “And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.” Real power demonstrated by those that walked in Holiness. God is a Holy God. The Word tells us the fear (awe) of Him is the begining of wisdom. There needs to be that Holy reverence and fear starting in the pulpit. Secret unrepented for sins exposed and everything in darkness brought to the light, and everything hidden revealed.
      “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.”

      Understand the usage of violence is what they want.

      These supporters from among the clergy are nothing more than radicals in their own right; I have heard that in the socialist-communist revolutionary movements of central and south American countries that they attempted to take over the churches from within as they stood to be one of the major links that could help oppose the revolutionists.

      The same has happened here in the US.

      Gosh man, nothing like tempting an old Jersey girl to sin…that rock salt made me think of snow, which made me invision bulldozers pre-emptively shooting and then shoveling the OWS prior to the next snow.

      Wickedness, Is just so difficult even in those who hope to be better, but it is realllly hard not to momentarily enjoy watching these public nuisances be put to better use. So, please save the rock salt for staying in the dumptrucks; least I sin some more!

    “Rev. Milind Sojwal, the rector of All Angels Church, an Episcopal parish on the Upper West Side, who said “Trinity Church had a fantastic opportunity to be a Christlike presence by openings its doors to the protesters. And I believe Trinity blew it.”

    Unfortunately, it’s more like casting your pearls before swine. These folks have a hatred for the Church. They’d more than likely urinate in the church and use it to get out of the cold when they want to smoke their weed. Reach out to them, yes, but don‘t invite them in to the church until they’ve shown some interest in the message.

      Agree. The Occupiers , like the Brotherhood, will “use” whomever they need to “win.“ Erdogan said that ”democracy is like a bus. you ride it until it reaches YOUR stop. then you get off. ( which is what is happening in all of those “democratic” Arab Spring revolutions. ) The Lefty Marxist Occupiers will use the naive religious folks and then discard them when convenient. Wish these religious guys would understand that while Jesus said you sound “love” your enemies, he didn’t say that you should let them “enable” them to do evil !

      from 1748 to 1776 they sent pleads and letter to the king of England to change the unfair taxes and treatment of “his People”. He laughed and sent even more troops and raised more taxes. Even Ben franklin was sent and was blown off. He was not even seen. He came home and start to think the Gun is the last choice and now the only choice. We have a choice now. while we a still strong and armed. in 5-10 Years we will have no way to resist. This must be our last peaceful try to turn back the wave. We must choice anyone BHO (the Leader). I will vote for a hockey puck over him. We lose here. We lose the last of our peace and freedom in this county.

      “They didn’t wait for sundown, and they certainly didn’t wait for a phone call with an agreement from Trinity United church. They jumped right over the fences, knowing they’d be arrested. Anyone who had any questions about this movement‘s intentions in 2012 should pay close attention to today’s events.”

    Beck talks about bean and bullets. I agree with that, Then he say do not fight back. You are going to get people killed glen. You send mixed ideas. The men at Concord fought, the men at bunker hill fought,Yorktown, vicksburg and 100″s of other battlefields. WE need to stand and if need be fight. This is what the man of washington”s time known. This is the time now. Yes they will attack.Some will die and our children will see war with their own eyes, The price for freedom is always blood of the people who fight to have a free county. If men and women lose their freedom and use peaceful “ways”. We will be walk to the camps just like the jews of Germany. They Thought it would never come to anything like the ovens. The Jewish state say now “Never again”. Let this not be our motto to. Lets not allow a night of broken glass here. I say it is time to meet the OWS/Code pink/Commie on the street. March for march.Men for man.Let this be the new shot heard around the world.Why do you think the want Gay and leftie in the army and navy now. Why do they want only college grads as Cops. They picked for thier loyalty to the state. It is their God and life.Not the freedom on each person. Look at family courts and Tax courts cutting the heart out of the american family.

      So, let me get this straight, we are supposed to believe it’s now ok to just take something, if you see it and want it? The OWS people should be given a choice, get a job and earn what you want, or get your head caved in trying to take what doesn’t belong to you.

      But just in case they are right and I’m wrong, and it is ok to just take stuff, I’m gonna go down the street and “occupy” my neighbors new pickup……it’s very nice!!!

    I think the Bishop’s “boss” had better have a word with him. Maybe review that “render unto Caesar” discussion. These religious people are being used by these so NOT religious Occupiers. This is so much about “stuff ” and breaking the law. This is so NOT about the spiritual message of love and peace that Jesus proclaimed. These Occupiers sound much more like the nasty “ We want Barrabas ” crowd than they sound like Jesus or the apostles.

      So true. They don’t sound one iota like Jesus. Jesus said, ” Be ye holy, for I am holy.” Paul said, “Abstain from ALL APPEARANCE of EVIL.” Evil is all these people know.

      Good thing that “God is not mocked. Whatsoever you sow, that will you also reap.” These are the reprobates who have had their consciences seared with a hot iron. They have become like animals…with the mob mentality. Jesus deals with individuals NOT mobs, so this mob is not HIS!

    A couple of well placed snipers could just burn them off the fences as they tried to re-occupy.

    Military solutions, implemented by everyday citizens are the only way to stop these vermin.

They deplete city budgets in Democrat controlled cities with their endless need for police baby-sitting. Pushing. Pushing. They are trying to “change” our capitalist system with all of this endless , anarchistic “Occupies” of public space. We have always been a democratic republic where the majority rules. Not an anarchistic mess where the 10% can bully their way to rule the majority. The core of the Occupiers are just anarchist, Lefties whose prophet is Karl Marx with his ( Far Lefty professors brainwashing ) dysfunctional/ never-worked / never-will brand of Political “Religion!“ Time to tell these Occupiers that their ”show” has been cancelled.

      BARBER: exactly. the occupy movement hs no ‘official stated’ goal, which means they are out there occupying for no reason. notice i said ‘stated’ cause all you have to do is read the signs on who they are, what they want. just ask questions. sooner or later after all the liberal talking points are disproven and exaused, they will falt out state that its about wealth redistribution. It really annoys me as a liberterian, cause i have many liberterian friends so conerned with ‘their right to protest’ that they cant see what they are protesting and cannot see the wolf in the hen house. you cannot march with or beside a 20 ft sign with a hammer and sickel, or be sponsered by groups the CPUSA, SDS and other groups and claim to be ‘for capitialism’. but for some reason alot of people are either blinded by the ‘romance of the struggle’ or flat out for the destruction of America. neither have any use as far as im concerned. protestings fine, occupying is an act of aression that must have a definitive and final response to.
