Regular readers of The Blaze will know that SEIU has been behind Occupy Wall Street and the anti-capitalist movement from the beginning. And now, the Daily Caller has a new report out alleging the union is using a “secretive” network of front groups to forward that movement’s agenda.
(Related: Video Reveals ‘Occupy’ Strategy to ‘Abolish Capitalism’ — With SEIU Help!)
From the report:
The politically aggressive Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has quietly created a national network of at least eight community-organizing groups, some of which function alongside the Occupy Wall Street movement, a Daily Caller investigation shows.
Incorporated by the SEIU as local non-profits, the groups are waging concerted local political campaigns to publicly attack conservative political figures, banks, energy companies and other corporations.
Each local group has portrayed itself as an independent community organization not tied to any special interest. But they were founded, incorporated, and led by SEIU personnel.
The individual activist groups use benign-sounding names including This Is Our DC; Good Jobs, Great Houston; Good Jobs, Better Baltimore; Good Jobs Now in Detroit; Fight for Philly; One Pittsburgh; Good Jobs LA; and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy.
In reality, they are creations of the wealthy and influential labor union, amounting to a secret network of new SEIU front groups.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 11:47amSEIU front groups? So it isn’t so!
You don’t mean groups like the Patriot Majority, funded by SEIU and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), who masqueraded as a Tea Party group during the 2010 Nevada Senate race. Perhaps it should be no surprise because the group’s manager was Craig Varoga, who just happened to be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid‘s former communication’s director — a complete coincidence, I’m sure. You can read the details, including FEC records, here.
“A Fake Tea Party Group Appears in Nevada”
http://soquelbythecreek.blogspot.com/2010/10/fake-tea-party-group-appears-in-nevada.html
Also, don’t forget that SEIU is the top funder of shadowy 527 political organizations.
“The Big Spenders Behind the Scenes”
http://soquelbythecreek.blogspot.com/2010/10/big-spenders-behind-scenes.html
We‘re all keenly aware of California’s political plight. Perhaps that too shouldn’t come as a surprise, given that SEIU is the #2 top political spender in the state, according to the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC).

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 3:35pmNow that we have (yet another) POTUS that uses lies as his ‘door opener’ we can’t trust any politician.
We have a congress that lies as a matter of course in their daily work. We have a ‘justice’ branch that uses lies to deceive the people that ‘it’ has done its job.
So, all 3 branches of government are deceitful lying bodies subverting the nation and the people. And most of the 50 states are doing the same exact thing at the state level.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 11:44amThis is why unions should be treated as corporations for election purposes. This is why unions should not be allowed to use dues to fund elections. If union members CHOOSE to donate not through their union then I have no problem with that. Otherwise the deck is stacked and Andy Stern knew that. Union members. Do you really support someone else making your choice for you? Can you not think for yourselves?

What started out as a good thing has turned into greed and corruption. The unions will bring America to her knees, ending in chance of a fair election , bankrupting our states, and eliminating the middle class portion of our society. I understand that those who belong want to ensure their rights but my question to them would be….”How far are you willing to go at the expense of loosing your freedoms and America as you have known it to get your way? Where are your loyalties, to your country or to merely yourselves?”

You can not establish a nobility or class called the “poor”, if you want to treat taxes as royalties due to the general public, then the same ratio of royalties should be paid to the rich and the poor? What is the difference between a royalty and a tax when you can not establish the dividing line between private enterprise and government?

The present situation is unsustainable. The direction unequivocally is toward civil war.
Think about it.
At no time in history has a nation been so divided into political, racial, ethnic tribes, with severe economic problems constantly looming and threatening to erupt at any time into a full blown depression, while beating the drums for war in the Middle East, and a large faction calling for an insurgency against the capitalist system.
There are so many detrimental factors all converging at the same time, escaping large scale conflict here will be impossible.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 9:44amThe strategy is called ‘death by a thousand cuts’ in which you strike from so many directions, cutting small parts away that the object of your wrath cannot defend themselves fully and thus get bled dry and finally die off as a result of the plan.
Soros works the same method, establishing many groups to work to one single purpose across the government, economy, social and faith of the Republic; along all levels of city, county, state and the national levels.
We are seeing the same thing building with Anonymous and with SEIU and Occupy bands. All Hades will break loose, most likely between July – Nov, combining with the obstructionist tactics of Reid and supported by the Propaganda machinery of the leftist media – when the Debt Limit battle intensifies.
I can see where Obama will use the violence/social/economic unrest to claim ultimate power; or if he is losing in the end, allow it to run free and bring down everything around him in a final scorched earth campaign.
There are no in betweens – they want total control or total devastation.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 11:03am@MomRules — In the case of ‘total devastation’ I should have been a bit more clear; in a scorched earth when an enemy knows defeat is inevitable they will seek to destroy everything so the winner loses in the end by being denied that which they sought.
In this case I see Obama already setting the plan into motion that if he is to lose everything his own madness demands, then the Republic will be left so badly devastated generations will be lost in the climb back upward to where we once were.

“World War IV
en français
It has come down to this: a fight to the finish against the evil forces of capital that would wage a terror upon terror upon terror without end.
We, the people, the multitudes, can win this war. Our power comes from our numbers There are more than six billion of us. If we organize ourselves, weave myriad networks and learn how to use them, if we invent an Internet voting system that can hold billion-person plebiscites, if we begin a slow march towards global governance and a world parliament, nothing can stop us.
To get the ball rolling, we initiate persistent, low level civil disobedience on all fronts. A pissed-off global population can force capital to retreat by:
hacking websites
Report Post »jamming broadcasts
placing organic stink bombs in bathrooms, offices and stores
plugging up toilets
crashing spy surveillance systems with spoof emails
refusing to pay fees and taxes
obstructing and sabotaging
In time we will learn to modulate our resistance — to raise it to the point where airport-type security systems are needed just to let customers into stores, until the daily pain and cost of doing business as usual becomes simply too high to bear. Then, at our pleasure, we will lower our resistance to reward the concessions being made. We don’t have to get the **** kicked out of us like we did in Miam
Sue Dohnim
Posted on March 5, 2012 at 9:44amInstead, we grow the power and sophistication of our networks and rachet up our disobedience. We attack in the dead of night and under the noonday sun. We hit them before, during and after world events. Bit by bit, hit by hit we bend them to our will.
Strategically, the tables have turned. Military might does not count for much anymore. The global capital machine is now so finely tuned, so delicately balanced, that just one virus, one blackout, one bushfire, one mad cow, one hand-held rocket launcher, one gram of plutonium, has the potential to crash the whole deal. From now on, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men will not be able to keep it together.
That’s the dirty, anarchic, kick-ass side of World War IV.
The gentler, everyday flip side is the growing army of meme warriors: artists, writers, activists, environmentalists, green entrepreneurs, pranksters, poets, philosophers and punks, generating cognitive dissonance, spreading startling new ideas, streaming mindbombs, giving birth to new ideologies, paradigms and ways of looking at things.
Another world is possible. Yes! So let’s articulate it, communicate it. Let’s describe it in vivid, inspiring detail.
