The “Real News” panel discussed the release of The Blaze National Security Editor Buck Sexton’s first book Tuesday, “Occupy: American Spring,” which goes behind the scenes of the Occupy Wall Street movement, its radical roots, and revolutionary goals.
Sexton says that his new book looks at the real damage that Occupy Wall Street has done to America on two fronts. The first being the actual physical damage to property, and the costs to local municipalities in controlling and cleaning up after protesters. The second, and long-lasting damage of Occupy Wall Street, is the effect the movement has had on the way we look at politics.
Sexton argues that in this election year, instead of talking about issues of immediate importance like Obamacare and entitlement reform, Occupy Wall Street has shifted the dialogue to class warfare and envy.

Posted on April 30, 2012 at 7:54amWe need the libertarian faction to grow and take over movement because we don’t want to team up with them to take down system and than system gone and they gotta to get destroyed by us. This needs to be the Ron Paul Libertarian Revolution and we need to take our country back from the neo cons and noe libs and we will need to team up with everyone we can get and we even have the troops on our side.
Ron Paul Revolution Give Us Back Our Constitution.

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 6:34pmI can attest to Buck’s comment re: cost to municipalities. Oakland, CA is within traveling distance to
my house and has cost that city millions of dollars in clean up/police work.
A recent article in Nat’l Review (4/16) tells about two candidates from MA running for office, E. Warren
and S. Brown and their respective backgrounds. Both came from the middle class, attended a non-
Ivy League school, went into law, became interested in politics, and today, both are millionaires.
It was by their smarts and hard work that they reached this goal of 1 percenters and are, thus, the
envy of the occupiers. They, who seemingly, are unwilling to either study hard or want to put in the
hard work required to attain their goals. What a bunch of wussies!

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 10:54pmOccupiers see another opportunity to get high, have random sex, and generally act like the idiots on an “advanced adolescence” trip….with perversion and destruction. Those areas that tolerate this idiocy will pay dearly for encouraging this conduct and I have absolutely no sympaty for them. Time for those “people” (using the term loosely) to grow up.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 6:03pmA prophecy, March 15, 1985, that civil war in the USA is possible: “We say unto you, now is one of the Earth’s greatest times. It is a time when it may walk at peace, or go to war. It is like the fickled whims of a politician. Be careful that you are all not caught in this trap. Be not as those who would hide their head and say, ‘This is not happening. These things cannot happen to me.’ For one day it is your brothren that they shall attack, and the next day it shall be you.
Report Post »There is but one way that you may survive all these things, and that is if you bind together, become as one. Know the honor of one. Know the needs of one. Know the duties of one. And be as one. And then, let your whole land prepare itself. For warfare is like a step away from you. It is as though we look upon the Earth and we see sabers everywhere….
“Know this, that…you have come at a time, when it is highly possible that a civil war shall occur in this country. You have come at a time when chaos is but one step beyond. We say to you, stand up, be tall; be counted, so that of the worldly goods can become as one.” http://www.angelfire.com/in4/aup_messiah/1985March15.audio.html

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 4:03pmThe longer the “Occupy” movement goes on, the more validity it gives to the BRACE Character Profile of the OWSM, which was originally posted on the internet in December 2011. Similarly, the longer President Obama is in office, the more validity he gives to his BRACE Character Profile, which was originally posted on the internet in June 2009. I find the accuracy of both profiles to be fascinating.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 11:46amOWS is the bottom up strategy, class warfare, envy and racial disharmony is being fomented by our own Govt. Then the top down will happen, when the chaos gets rolling. The inside out has already started – Obamacare, NDAA, Patriot Act and all of the unconstitutional laws being passed.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 12:28amTerrific book, just downloaded “American Spring” and read it in one sitting, (not hard to do, it’s 62 pages.) It’s informative, entertaining and well written. A must read for everyone as the November election draws closer and Occupy gears up for its most powerful offensive.
Report Post »Sexton’s on the scene narrative breaks down the different factions of OWS with insightful detail and humor. He examines the power behind the movement and gives the reader plenty to think about as OWS calls for a General Strike this coming May 1st.
A good read, two thumbs up !

Posted on April 24, 2012 at 11:58pmSorry. I can’t get over the guys porn name. Yes it is indeed a porn name. Do you want a porn name? Well just use your middle name and add your street name. For those that have a number instead of a street name . . . use an old street name. For instance, mine is Patrick Latonka! Not bad LOL. I know its hard for you social cons to have fun, but give it a chance.

Posted on April 25, 2012 at 10:34amDon’t worry, sir. If you simply go away you will be readily forgotten, and you in return can forget about the Blaze. Why you think it would be important to “delete [your] profile” is beyond me. It seems much more likely that you want to publicly announce your displeasure, about which I assure you no one cares.
