Uncovered: Did the Leftist Encouraging Economic Terrorism Have Access to Obama’s White House?

As we brought you earlier Tuesday, newly surfaced audio has captured disturbing evidence of radical leftists plotting to deliberately wage war on American capitalism in order to redistribute the nation’s wealth. Leading the group of leftist organizers is (reportedly former) SEIU director of financial reform efforts and international executive board member.
“It seems to me that we’re in a moment where we need to figure out in a much more, through direct action, much more concrete way how we really are trying to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate,” Lerner said during the progressive conference last weekend in New York.
So what kind of influence does Lerner have in progressive circles? As it turns out, quite a lot.
Not only does Lerner maintain the clout of being a former SEIU executive, but his influential position seems to have gained him access to the Obama White House on more than one occasion. According to White House visitor logs, “Stephen Lerner” has visited the White House four times over the past two years.
Two of these visits were for public gatherings: a large group’s private White House tour and a White House Hanukkah celebration. But at least two other visits were scheduled for private meetings with high-level executive offices.
On May 22, 2010, Lerner met with a presidential personnel officer who manages economic agencies. While the minimal information in the WH visitor log offers no real information on what this meeting was about, it’s distressing to know a) anyone in the White House would meet with the kind of man who could openly call for the deliberate dismantling of the American economy, and that b) that White House official works to recruit personnel for the federal government’s economic agencies.
Perhaps more telling, the Stephen Lerner listed in the White House logs had an October 16, 2010 appointment scheduled by Tara Corrigan, executive assistant to then-WH political director Patrick Gaspard. Like Lerner, Gaspard spent much of his career working as a lobbyist and executive vice president for SEIU‘s Local 1199 in New York one of the union’s most powerful and notoriously militant chapters. You may recall that Gaspard announced his departure from the White House earlier this year in order to focus on the upcoming 2012 campaign. He now serves as executive director of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) under chairman Tim Kaine.
We have asked the White House to confirm that the reported “Stephen Lerner” is indeed the veteran SEIU organizer, however we still have received no response.
In addition to securing White House access, Lerner’s reputation precedes him in the progressive movement as well. The union organizer has a long history of leading labor strikes and demonstrations.
During the 1970s, Lerner worked with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union to orchestrate a year-long strike in South Carolina. In the 1980s, Lerner worked with Justice for Janitors through the SEIU’s building service division. His work in organizing the bottom-up protest model based on geographical area propelled Lerner to progressive stardom, receiving praise for his innovative style and success as the labor movement struggled to increase membership.
Lerner’s Justice for Janitors campaign has been particularly praised for its use of disruptive demonstration tactics to deliver its message. The campaign also demanded so-called “master contracts” which would apply contract benefits to all unionized janitors across the market rather than localized, disjointed union organizations.
As a former organizer of the United Farm Workers (UFW), Lerner applied UFW tactics to the SEIU’s JfJ campaign, including street theater, hunger strikes, vigils, public blockades, sit-ins, clergy-labor alliances and community organizing. (Sound familiar?)
Lerner — who was recruited to the SEIU at the same time as former president Andy Stern — has also expanded the unions’ views to a global scale. In spearheading the JfJ campaign, Lerner focused on a bigger strategy than grassroots rank-and-file protests. “There was literally a worldwide plan to win,” he wrote in 2005.
“From Denmark, where the key cleaning contractor was based; to pension funds in New York that owned buildings; to immigrant, community and religious groups that united in support for the campaign—there was a comprehensive plan and large-scale resources to support the struggle. The Los Angeles campaign demonstrated that undocumented workers would take incredible risks to lift their families and communities out of poverty if there was a plan that gave them the confidence that they could beat a multinational corporation with hundreds of thousands of workers around the globe.”
Don’t like the new globalized focus of your union? Too bad. When local SEIU officials refused to participate in Justice for Janitor campaigns, their union supervisors would simply remove them from office, and replace them with trustees to run the locals and later run the trustees for the presidency.
It’s this global strategy that Lerner most recently worked to expand in other areas of the SEIU and the labor movement as a whole — to much success. “It is clear that what unions are doing isn‘t working for union members or the tens of millions of workers who aren’t in unions. The labor movement’s structure, culture, and priorities stand in the way of workers winning,” he said.
As noted above, reorienting the country‘s religious groups to union support is among Lerner’s top priorities. “The months and years ahead are our chance, our moment to be part of making history,” Lerner said on the eve of President Obama’s 2008 election victory to a progressive Jewish group.
Lerner is “exerting an outsized influence, working at the front end of some of the most innovative, and occasionally divisive, union campaigns of today,” Foward the Jewish Daily noted at the time.
“When you are there, you physically experience the number of Jews in Washington who are in the labor movement — but also the larger passion for social justice that is driving that,” Lerner said.
Lerner’s wife, Marilyn Sneiderman, has also been a longtime union organizer, including nearly a decade of work as the AFL-CIO’s director of field mobilization. Similar to her husband, she worked to launch a national initiative designed to unite unions and religious, civil/immigrant rights group to campaign for social and economic justice. Last summer, she took a position as executive director of AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, a group dedicated to social justice.
Sneiderman and Lerner now host an annual Yom Kippur Break Fast event “to make the link for people who work in the labor movement and are Jewish, so that they see that it’s not by accident that they are doing this work — and that is tied to their roots and values,” she has said.
Their annual guest lists include movers and shakers like Andy Stern and Paul Booth, a top official at the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Anna Burger, chair of the Change To Win coalition of unions, is a regular, and John Sweeney, president of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations, has also attended.
“It seemed like every other person there was a senior leader in the labor movement,” said Jacob Feinspan, the young Jews United for Justice leader, who attended the 2008 event.
Lerner‘s fingerprints are all over today’s labor movement, including protesters’ confrontational tactics. You may recall when busloads of SEIU demonstrators descended on a Bank of America executive’s own front yard last year.
When the executive’s neighbor, Fortune‘s Nina Easton, asked Lerner about the controversial intimidation tactic, he accused of her of being too “emotional” and insisted it‘s the union’s role to confront “people in powerful corporations” about the “damage they are doing.”
A year later, protesters in Madison, Wisc., practiced their own street theater and sit-ins at the state capitol building. On Monday, we brought you the story of SEIU protesters who stormed a Pennsylvania bank to protest the CEO. In each instance, SEIU organizers are taking marching orders directly from Lerner’s protester playbook.
We have officially crossed into a new era of politics — the politics of intimidation — and it looks like we have Stephen Lerner to thank for it.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 8:48amI hope I am wrong on this….but I believe Obama is impeachment proof because many in Congress, and especially the leadership, knew of and actively assisted in getting an ineligible candidate on the ballot and elected in 2008. An attempt to impeach Obama could result in him spilling the barns on many poeple involved in massive election fraud. Congress will never inpeach Obama because too many members would be one step closer to very long prison sentences….or worse.
Obama will dare Congress to impeach him, and there are many reasons the process should begin, with the latest SEIU tapes just adding to the list…….unforunately for America, not gonna’ happen.
If the=is were anyone buy Obama the impeachment process would be well under way….but, it won’t happen under any circumstances..

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 8:47amI have a theory about this. When the last 3 generations were growing up and going to school, we were taught by parents and teachers to obey your elders and have respect for your President and government……they are know what is best for you. While we were spoon fed bits of socialism here, and bits there, little did we realize how indoctrinated we had become. Fast forward to the last few decades. Progressives are fully entrenched in just about every aspect of society so much so that it took a terrorist attack on 9/11 for people to wake up to reality and start looking at their lives, and to start asking questions. I know this because this is how it happened with me. 9/11 shook me out of my neat little polyanna existance. My real education about the world started then. I just thank God that I also had (have) strong belief in scriptural truth so that there was a sound foundation to help me decifer truth from lies.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 1:55pmI just want to quote the 5th paragraph of Federalist Paper #1.
“And yet, however just these sentiments will be allowed to be, we have already sufficient indications that it will happen in this as in all former cases of great national discussion. A torrent of angry and malignant passions will be let loose. To judge from the conduct of the opposite parties, we shall be led to conclude that they will mutually hope to evince the justness of their opinions, and to increase the number of their converts by the loudness of their declamations and the bitterness of their invectives. An enlightened zeal for the energy and efficiency of government will be stigmatized as the offspring of a temper fond of despotic power and hostile to the principles of liberty. An over-scrupulous jealousy of danger to the rights of the people, which is more commonly the fault of the head than of the heart, will be represented as mere pretense and artifice, the stale bait for popularity at the expense of the public good. It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.”

I was also a union member when I lived in NY. Don’t remember being offered a real choice. I do remember the “option” to opt out was glossed over.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 11:15amAudio and Visiual seem to not want to make people care :( it’s when the unions start busting heads “and spilling a little blood” then people may care!! I want to see RICO applied to this Lerner guy and everyone present in that audio tape. I know I am living a “pipe dream” if I can believe that Eric Holder will do a dayum thing about this!! I am down to be isolating and overwhelmed I wish Glenn would start the “your not alone” sequence again……Semper Fidelis to God, Country, and Corps

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 11:35amLet’s pray that whichever conservative takes the White House in 2012 comes with a big broom to sweep vermin like this out the door throughout our government. These progressives/socialists have to be eradicated just like termites. Otherwise, they will bring our house down.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 11:41amWell, if you didn’t want to believe it before, here we are. It’s now official…….we are surrounded by traitors, we are being governed by traitors, and we have a filthy traitor in the White House. Get ready America, because the strength of your character and resolve to remain free is about to be tested.

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 11:58amUnions are necessary stepping stones to Communism comrades! They develop the collective mindset, brainwashing people into thinking the common good, global salvation – NWO is upon us now! Out in the open, the communists are plotting to take over every aspect of our lives, it is time to stand up and restore our Constitution and the Republic, for which it stands! The power of the vote by the silent majority will be heard once again! Rise up against this progressive scourge that is ruining our Nation and our future. Save one kid at a time! God Bless America!

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 1:50pm“During the 1970s, Lerner worked with the International Ladies Garment Workers Union to orchestrate a year-long strike in South Carolina.”
Hmm… a year long strike… I wonder where those jobs are now? India perhaps? How are the PEOPLE that Lerner supposedly represents fairing??
The brilliant labor leaders for some strange reason think they can can make money without the corporations? How does that work exactly?
I can’t wait to see these morons STARVING due to the DESTRUCTION they CREATED.
If they believe they can take what they want, please, come breaking in my door… and try to take what is mine… I will be happy to give them some lead, and depending on my mood, it might be 140 grains from my HK40 or maybe 240 grains from my S&W 629DX (44 mag), or maybe even 13 pellets of 00 buckshot from my 12 gauge…(put through a “super full” choke makes a really nice hole!)… free of charge of course!

Posted on March 23, 2011 at 2:27pmWhere are Holder and Napolitano on this? I hear crickets. Lerner’s plan is but a piece of the puzzle the Left is planning. They’re taking this nationwide. More details here:

Of course they have access to the White House. Thats where their community organizer in chief holds their strategy meetings while they teleconference with Soros to coordinate their next move. Where are the republican? All I hear is crickets.

Report Post »Wrong, someone told him about the WH tape recorder, that’s why so many of his admin. meet at a local doughnut shop, why he took Putin to McDonalds, and probably why he spends so much time on the golf course. (When he does leave office the National Archives will be surprised there are so few WH tapes. Maybe caddies should have to carry tape recorders.)
As for where the repubs are, all busy having their phones checked because he hasn’t called much for them to come over & discuss all that bipartisan work they’re gonna do. (The chirping is canned music to lull them back to sleep, the WH ran out of “Nighty Night Tea!)
