Video Reveals ‘Occupy’ Strategy to ‘Abolish Capitalism’ (With SEIU Help!)

It’s been nearly a year since The Blaze broke the story of SEIU strategist Stephen Lerner’s campaign of economic terrorism. Lerner outlined, in audio captured by The Blaze, a secret plan to destroy a major bank with the intent of crashing the stock market.
Lerner’s plan clearly envisioned the activism that would come to be known as Occupy Wall Street.
Here’s how Business Insider described The Blaze revelation at the time:
Lerner said that unions and community organizations are, for all intents and purposes, dead. The only way to achieve their goals, therefore–the redistribution of wealth and the return of “$17 trillion” stolen from the middle class by Wall Street–is to “destabilize the country.”
Lerner’s plan is to organize a mass, coordinated “strike” on mortgage, student loan, and local government debt payments–thus bringing the banks to the edge of insolvency and forcing them to renegotiate the terms of the loans. This destabilization and turmoil, Lerner hopes, will also crash the stock market, isolating the banking class and allowing for a transfer of power.
Lerner’s plan starts by attacking JP Morgan Chase in early May, with demonstrations on Wall Street, protests at the annual shareholder meeting, and then calls for a coordinated mortgage strike.
Lerner also says explicitly that, although the attack will benefit labor unions, it cannot be seen as being organized by them. It must therefore be run by community organizations.
As the year went on, Lerner beat the same drum. Our follow-up reports in September and October revealed Lerner’s enthusiasm for the escalation of protests, the breaking of laws, and the rules for creating mass economic chaos.
Lerner and his compatriots are still at it.
Breitbart.com, as part of its relaunch, has posted recent video of Lerner and his cohorts celebrating their favorite topics: how to “abolish capitalism,” how to stir worker unrest, and how to advance the alliance of union interests and Occupy fervor.
Breitbart.com has received exclusive tape of an Occupy Strategy Session at New York University, billed as a group talk on “The Abolition of Capitalism.” One of the headline speakers at this session was Stephen Lerner, former leader and International Board Member of the SEIU and frequent Obama White House visitor. Lerner argued in favor of people not paying their mortgages and “occupying” their homes; he spoke in favor of invading annual shareholders meetings to shut them down. But his big goal was to get workers to shut down their workplaces. That’s where the SEIU agenda and the Occupy agenda truly meet: once workers begin to occupy.
Here’s the video:

Learner “IS” a communist. Now, looking at communist regimes, and their close cousins the Socialists, what HAS the history been?
Well, IMMEDIATELY after the institution of communist rule, massive genocide. Massive. Resources VANISH. Food, water, heat, shelter all disappear… for those who remain alive. Money, is usually worthless or disappears.
Governments become the open enemy of the people. Working against them at every turn. Even out right enslavement is not uncommon.
OWS “IS” a (bowel) movement filled with tools. Idiots too self consumed to really understand even the actions they are involved in. Let alone the ‘big’ picture. If they knew what they were asking for they’d disband faster than a super nova.

Capitalism benefits lives unless people are too stupid to use it or realize its the only economic method that allows people upward mobility. Dictatorships, military law, and the purple finger for voting is not freedom. Look at Putin. How stupid do they really believe people are? Or should I ask how stupid are people to fall for this crap?

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 10:26amThis post is provocative. It’s also uninformed for a couple of reasons.
1. Violence is never the answer.
2. Socialism in all it’s forms seeks to bring out the beast in man. The only rationale for tyranny is anarchy. Where there is lawlessness, people will beg for a strongman to save them. The agents of socialism must first bring out man’s inner beast, hence, the relentless assaults on the Church, family, marriage, Constitution, morality, culture and history. Erase all these and all that remains is the beast.
3. They advance in the mayhem of violence. Think of liberalisms biggest gains – JFK, RFK, MLK, Great Depression, 60′s protests-Vietnam war(the worse it got for troops, the more gains they made.)
Turning the other cheek is powerful because it’s the opposite of the beast. Trust me, they strike hoping for retaliation. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Assassination is eternal life to these folks. Don’t even go down this road.

A confession of subversion SHOULD be adequate for prosecution in a country where the “justice” department actually upholds the LAW. NOT implements it’s own form of vigilante justice from within the system.
But, we haven‘t got a ’justice’ department any more. We have a “department of reparations and retaliatory justice”, as the U.S. D.o.J. Attorney General Eric Holder has stated himself on numerous occasions.
Our ‘justice’ gestapo forces have a POLICY of not prosecuting Blacks. Of NOT prosecuting their associates from the drug cartels. Of NOT enforcing the laws of the U.S. based on skin color. Now, if that isn’t discrimination, then there “IS” no such thing.

That is what the sponsors of the OWS movement are hoping for because in the beginning they were saying come on Tea Party people we are just like you. The problem is OWS is made up of anarchist, communists, socialists, marxists, neo-nazi’s and every other type of group that wants to see the down fall of America and or capitalism or both! Some of these groups don’t even like each other but they use the thought process of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore approach OWS with extreme caution. If they are successful in what they are trying to do it will only get worse because then those groups will turn on each other because they will jockey for the position of power. Just look at Egypt and those other countries, different groups came together to overthrow the leadership and then what happen, peace and joy and everyone lived happily ever after…NO! Each group then turned on each other to push themselves into the position to run the country. Yet OWS is viewing those other countries like hero’s for their cause. They called it the Arab spring and now they want an American spring! That should make anyone pause and ask themselves if the same people are behind all of these things happening in the world. It looks like a workers of the world unite kind of thing don’t it. Good thing the unions are not behind any of this! Know your enemy because they know you!

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 12:14pmHova, I have lived through this exact same scenario, socialized democracy forced on a population that was free and independent. It broke out into civil war, blood on the streets. Redistribution of wealth is Marxist ideology, same for social or economic justice. More people have died in the name of that ideology than all wars of all time put together, read pre-1960 history books about Stalin, Mao and Hitler, among others. Then read about Pol Pot, who indoctrinated the youth to kill anyone who wore glasses, yes you wear glasses eh, ask them where they buried the 3 million that were murdered? Stalin and Mao murdered 60 and 90 million respectfully, because they were not ‘on board’ with communism. Lenin referred to his Bolshovic revolutionaries as ‘useful idiots’, because they were useful to bring down the monarchy, and idiots because they brought about their own demise. Laugh at us, I don’t care, but mark my words. If the OWS and Unions bring violence to America, they will be wiped off the face of the earth, the TRUTH has no agenda. If you are honest, research history books written pre-1960, and your eyes will be opened, unless you want this to happen. God help those that are ignorant, as those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Read Obama’s books, he will tell you his Marxist ideals there. If you agree with him, then you are part of the problem. God, truth and freedom will win the day. I’d rather be dead than red my friend, you cant touch my soul

From ChalkDust: “We know everyone in the occupy movement is not down with abolishing capitalism, although at this point if you haven’t figured out that the occupy organizers are anti capitalism, I have to question your cognitive ability because they make it pretty clear in their literature and web sites.”
What’s with Blazers and not explaining things? You know, with all the time you take to blame me for not knowing things, you could actually convince me that you’re right.

I don’t really know if you serious about going outside your comfort zone and considering a new reality. So, my comment is a general one not personally directed at you. The “modern liberal” mind is an immature contextually indiscriminate process without any critical thought. One which must have others prove or impart conclusions upon them, they have a dependency on externally imposed “truth”. This is anathema to “true conservatism”, which advocates the individual, self reliance, psychological, economic and physical. So, the “modern Liberal” has been created or indoctrinated to not think critically for themselves. In a world of lies, deceit and manipulation from Academia, the Media and the State. The reason people do not waste time trying to explain a position to the “medern Liberal” is simple. They are so emmured within their ideology that they cannot accept reason and logic. A “modern Liberal” mind exists and processes information like a 5 year old, they simply cannot establish context and without it there can’t be any logic and reason. To argue with one is akin to trying to reprogram a cult member, their biased ideology and demoralization disables critical thought.
There is plenty of evidence that the OWS group and its backers are anti-capitalist and intent on creating a global Statist utopia, One can choose to ignore it or deny it but it ultimately up to the individual to figure that out. To an open and critical mind it is crystal clear and without

Honestly, I draw my analysis from John Locke, the English philosopher credited with the phrase “life, liberty, and property.” He believed that those who used things (regularly, mind you) owned things. My belief is simple: the workers, not the capitalists, should run the factories, not the capitalists. The teachers and doctors, not their administrations, should run the schools and hospitals.

I can tell you’ve given this some thought, and I think we can discuss this.
“At any rate, my response to your Corporatism comment is that it’s inseperable from the free market. Why do you think corporations pour so many resources into controlling our politicians? It’s the economically intelligent thing to do. Their competitors are doing it, the market commands them to do it as well.”
Believe it or not, this process of Corporatism begins with collectivist anti-trust legislations, in the belief that fewer producers of a thing means that somehow those producers are unjustly keeping other producers from entering the marketplace. This is bad economics.
Businesses actually like anti-trust legislations because they are protectionist in effect, in that they create barriers to entry – people who don’t have the money to comply with the regulations are priced out of the market, and the protected businesses get to keep prices high.

The free market wants to reward producers for meeting consumer demand. And sometimes a few people get really good at doing it – such that any more producers would be a waste of resources (think of the “too many cooks” analogy). Everyone should feel entitled to try to compete, but not everyone will succeed at being better than someone else at it.
(It‘s worth noting that we haven’t had a free market in America for 100 years – we’ve had a lot of government interventions, the most destructive of which is our fiat money system.)
But anti-trust legislations punish those who are trying to lower prices and increase quality in order to attract consumers. It is the CONSUMER who decides whether a seller is meeting their desires through a quite democratic process (one penny, one market vote – except in the case of fiat money, of course ;) ).
So it’s collectivism, NOT individual, free market liberty, that gets Corporatism rolling. It takes an abandoning of free market principles in order to start the process which leads to imperialism.

Regarding deregulation and corporate forces: Corporatism requires government intervention, so to deregulate, and to get rid of the Minimum Wage laws, and to get rid of all subsidies and government-granted privileges, would leave the corporate structure in place, but now people would be free to do business with Corporations (or Unions, for that matter), or not.

Since collectivism is required for the existence of Corporatism, democratizing the economy in the sense that you mean would have the opposite outcome that you imagine. A free market is already “democratic” in the sense that it’s the consumer who drives production. Also, transactions in a free market happen because two people are willing to accept the terms, otherwise the trade wouldn’t happen. Whereas the costs of production rise, and individual liberty is suppressed, in an environment of government interventions.

Also, people don’t trade something for work, per se, but for the outcome of work. So when an owner trades you a paycheck for your productivity to his business, there is a real trade occurring, the terms to which you agreed, and so there is no control going on. You both voluntarily accept the terms of a trade, and you are entitled to a paycheck if you fulfill the terms of the agreement. And per the agreement, if the owner does not pay you according to the terms to which you both agreed, then you have a right to have your voluntary contract enforced through the courts.
And finally, please do not overlook the fact that Ron Paul, in 2001, explained in considerable detail why the housing market would collapse. He was able to see it coming because he understood Austrian Economics.

Federalist Papers #10
http ://www.constitution.org/fed/federa10.htm
“… a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.”

Addressing just the concept of bosses for the moment, the whims of bosses aren‘t petty if they’re made as a part of the free market (government priveleges to certain corporations is not part of the free market). Bosses pay you less for your labor than that which you could fetch for the same product had you made it yourself, because you’re being paid up front for the product that the boss will sell in the future.
The whole reason you’re working for X Company is because you know you can get paid SOONER than it would take for you to get paid for selling a product had you produced it yourself. It takes longer for the boss to produce the product, which is why his profits are justified.
You prefer payment now, whereas the boss is willing to be paid in the future knowing he will make a profit. Your time preferences for payment are different.
These will help, also.

Posted on March 5, 2012 at 3:03amThere isn’t the slightest chance that these nimrods can do anything – except crap on the hoods of cars. These people are stuck on stupid. Why, they are so stupid that they believe that they need an union negotiator to get decent wages and benefits. They ignore the fact that many of millions of “others” do much better than they do, without having to pay another nimrod to speak for a “group”.
The trouble with “groups” is that there can’t be any stars in the group. If one member of the group is really good at what he or she does, that member can only be compensated at the negotiated contract. There isn’t any reward for being excellent at your job. That person receives the same as another person who is really terrible at their job.
Under the system of Capitalism, people who are the best at what they do, get rewarded for what they do. People seek them out because of the excellent results.
Capitalism = good. Unions = bad, especially Public Service Unions, because they work for US.

Here’s some very important information for you. People who own small businesses; who invent things that we all want; and CEOs of major Corporations, are NOT the people who work eight hours days. The “eight hours a day” people are the great unwashed, otherwise known as the “mediocre” people. Inventors, business owners, and top CEOs usually work twelve hour or more days.
I can’t imagine working on a new innovative product and being told – well, that’s eight hours, so stop what you’re doing and go home. On the other hand, union members are probably incapable of inventing any innovative products.

We’re not creating a vacuum, we’re building the new world in the shell of the old. Labor unions, syndicates, community organizing, peoples’ spaces, and ultimately the re-appropriation of capital.
If you’d like a good example of what I mean by that last one, take a look at early 2000s Argentina, not 1917 Russia. The latter is not a very good comparison historically, even if it sounds good rhetorically.

“Vox, a true anarchist is for a free market and no government.”
Depends on how you define those things.
“The people that want government to absolutely regulate the market and want government to own means of productions aren’t anarchists.”
Well, you’re right, but this gets into my second point – much of Occupy Wall Street is uninterested in government solutions and government ownership of the means of production. Occupy’s radical wings want, if anything, direct worker ownership of the means of production – democratic workers’ co-ops, and the like. Look at Revolutionary Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.
“Wearing a funny mask and breaking store windows is not anarchism, it’s vandalism.”
True that.

“In political jargon, useful idiot is a pejorative term used to describe people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they do not understand, who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause.
The term was originally used to describe Soviet sympathizers in Western countries. The implication is that although the people in question naïvely thought of themselves as an ally of the Soviet Union, they were actually held in contempt and were being cynically used.
The use of the term in political discourse has since been extended to other propagandists, especially those who are seen to unwittingly support a malignant cause which they naively believe to be a force for good.”
