Who supports the 99%?

Note: All entries on this list are real and verified. Below each entry you will find a series of source links documenting the support for OWS. We have striven in almost all cases to reference either first-hand statements by the groups or individuals themselves, hosted on their own Web sites; or videos of the people in question voicing their support for OWS at various Occupations; or news reports from reliable mainstream networks; or articles by publications or organizations sympathetic to the Occupy movement; or indisputable evidence, whatever the source. As a result, it cannot be claimed that these statements of support were made up or distorted by detractors of the Occupy movement.

Global Warming Cult Targeting School Kids

The Global Warming Cult is creeping into every corner of our lives it can. The election of the far left socialist/marxist to be our President only makes it easier to get to your children. Pay attention before it’s too late.

You Will Learn To Worship Me

Guilt trips for driving gas-powered vehicles, eating hamburgers and powering gadgets are the order of the day. Then teens are to go home and tell mom and dad about their sins too.

Global warming is proving more dubious by the day, but the Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) is not shy about recruiting Boston’s next generation to promote their alarmism.

The nonprofit group launched months ago and wants to inspire 140,000 teenagers to join its climate-change activism by the end of this year.

They’ve hired educators with flair for the theatrical to deliver their one-sided message via high school assemblies, captivating hundreds at a clip.

Rappers, actors, athletes, ministers and other dynamic personalities sync their talks with amusing PowerPoint presentations and slick animation to pump up the fear.

The idea is to motivate teenagers, and subsequently everyone in their spheres of influence, to modify their behaviors so as to stop global warming. This is achieved by cutbacks in their energy use, which ACE believes produces too many greenhouse gases (from fossil-fuel combustion like coal and oil) that warm the planet.

So guilt trips for driving gasoline-powered vehicles (carbon dioxide), eating hamburgers (methane from cow flatulence) and powering gadgets (more carbon dioxide) are the order of the day. Then teens are to go home and tell mom and dad about their sins too.

ACE is based in Oakland, Calif., and was created by wealthy wind-energy entrepreneur Michael Haas. The organization has targeted five metropolitan areas besides Boston: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington and Houston.

Haas, who donated $24,600 to President Barack Obama’s campaign and victory funds last year, stands to reap millions of dollars in government subsidies that climate change-driven renewable energy policies would bring. ACE looks like an effort to assure the growth of his business into future generations.

ACE lobbies school boards and administrators for permission to give its presentations, ensuring delivery of its propaganda to hundreds of potential foot soldiers for the cause.

But ACE’s talks are infected with falsehoods, like telling the students they’ve lived through the 10 hottest years on record (1934 was really the hottest) and that greenhouse gas emissions are jacking up the global thermostat way too high.

Scientific studies that counter these fibs and exaggerations are left out of the presentations.

For example, many solar physicists believe we may be entering a prolonged cooling period due to diminished sunspot activity.

Atmospheric scientists, who observe actual data rather than depend on dubious climate models, have seen no recent temperature increase (on average) in the oceans or on the surface of the earth during the last decade.

Unfortunately many teachers and administrators don’t do their homework and let the Alliance for Climate Education pull students from classrooms to be taught rewritten history and biased forecasting.

Look At The Big Picture Before It’s Too Late

If you care at all about your freedom you need to watch these two videos.

Part 2

Obama’s Govt. Motors pulls plug on longtime Fall River Chevy dealership

McARTHUR – Lawrence Agee and his family have sold Chevrolets in eastern Shasta County for 60 years.

It’s that kind of loyalty Agee thought would be rewarded when General Motors Corp. in May started advising dealers nationwide who was in and who was out.

But to his dismay, Agee was pink-slipped, which ends a run of 85 years for Hiway Garage as a Chevy dealership.

One vehicle – a compact Cobalt – remains on the lot.

“We’ve been taking care of customers forever. It’s a kick in the belly” we won’t be able to do that, said the 72-year-old Agee, whose father bought the garage in 1949. “We didn’t push cars. … We don’t sit here and hammer them from one guy to the other like a lot of the big dealers.”

GM notified about 1,100 dealers, or nearly 20 percent of its U.S. network, that it would not renew their contracts when they expire in 2010.

Hiway Garage wasn’t a high-volume dealership – 10 sales was a good month – but it was the only one in about an 80-mile radius. Now folks in the Fall River Valley will have to drive to Redding or Alturas to buy a new vehicle.

“We are just down-home people. We do what has to be done. We don’t try to sell you the whole store,” Agee said.

Hiway Garage will continue selling gasoline, doing repair work and offering tow service.

“He was pretty pissed; he wasn’t in a good mood for about two weeks,” Agee’s 44-year-old son, David, said. “It was a shocker to him. He was hoping they would (renew) because of how far he is out here.”

When Lawrence Agee took over the Hiway Garage in 1959 after his father, Lester, died of cancer, he was the youngest owner of a Chevy dealership in the West.

Residents of the Fall River Valley over the years have embraced Agee and his family. His allegiance to his customers and the community hasn’t gone unnoticed.

When word spread that GM would not renew Hiway Garage’s franchise agreement, letters urging the company to reconsider were sent out.

“It seems to us that appreciation could be best demonstrated by not closing what is more than a Chevrolet dealership here, but rather an historic institution that feels more like family than just simply a business,” Denise Rouse of Bieber wrote.

“Hiway Garage is an essential part of the Fall River Valley with its unstinting support of all social service groups within our community,” wrote Ed Siegel, president of the Fall River Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Ironically, Agee stopped selling Chevrolets in 1978 after General Motors persuaded him to sell the business before bringing in somebody the company felt could pump up sales in the Intermountain region.

The experiment bombed. The Hiway Garage lost its Chevy franchise for a short stint; Agee had to foreclose on the property. It took him years to rebuild the business after taking it over again.

“These farmers and loggers are set in their ways. You don’t take care of them, you just lost their families and their friends,” Agee said in a 2004 Record Searchlight story.

Agee has no desire to pick up another franchise. He said he’s finished selling cars and trucks.

“I am getting too old to start all over again,” Agee said.

On a personal note, I have had the pleasure of meeting and doing business with the Agee family and they are very fine people. I hope the auto repair part of the business can keep them going and I urge everyone in my neck of the woods to do some business with them.

President Thin-Skin Can Dish It Out….

….
But he sure as hell can’t take it.

The candidate who told his supporters “to argue with them and get in their face” now finds the shoe on the other foot. So they’re taking names and encouraging you to turn in your neighbors.

So this is hope and change — telling American citizens who in a democracy disagree with you that they are mind-numbed robots participating in mob action and expressing “manufactured” outrage.

Considering that upward of 80% of those hooligans like their doctors, like their insurance and like their care, anger over your government-run health care was not that hard to assemble.

It was not that long ago that Barack Obama told a crowd of 1,500 supporters in Elko, Nev., to challenge those who disagree with them and him: “I want you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independents or Republicans. I want you to argue with them.”

President Obama spoke then as the community organizer he was — a true disciple of Saul Alinsky who worked with and for Acorn in the days when they were storming banks and government meetings to force them to ditch creditworthiness as a criteria and forcing them to issue loans to those who couldn’t afford them.

The president is familiar with the Alinsky way, the Chicago way, of organizing a group to act. Obama spent years prodding underprivileged Chicagoans to channel their political anger by orchestrating activist mob scenes designed to coerce businesses and public officials. A 2007 profile in the left-leaning New Republic was titled “The Agitator.” He’s still at it.

Biden: Everyone Guessed Wrong

Well no sh!t Sherlock? You called it back in the first week of February. But we’ll get to that a bit later. First Gateway Pundit has this.

The US lost over 2.5 million jobs in the first four months of this year under the Obama Administration.
The US unemployment rate rose from 7.6% to 9.4% under Obama… the highest rate in 25 years.

Bureau of Labor Statistics- via Sweetness and Light
The US has lost 16,000 jobs each day since Democrats passed their non-Stimulus bill, the largest redistribution of wealth from the private sector to government officials in US history, without any House Republican votes.

Joe Biden admitted today that the Obama Administration was wrong on the stimulus.
TIME mag reported, via Free Republic:

Biden tells “Meet the Press” that “everyone guessed wrong” on the impact of the stimulus, economy was worse off than anyone thought.

Now to the Biden prediction. Biden was already in the CYA mode and was saying they would be wrong 30 % of the time. How prophetic. On February 6, 2009 I posted this.

Watch the video to see Vice President Joe “The Gaffe” Biden say that even if they get everything they want, they will still be wrong about a third of the time. And notice how David Axelrod sidesteps the question from Wolf Blitzer and gives the democratic talking points for the day. I first saw Obama’s press secretary Robert Gibbs use the exact same words this morning to dodge a question from the press. Axelrod even takes it one step further by taking the quote out of context. Here’s the video and the quote.

The president and I were talking about something yesterday in the Oval Office — which, to the press here, I’ll not suggest what it was — but the response was to the folks that were in the office with us — was, you know, if we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, we stand up there and we make really tough decisions, there’s still a 30-percent chance we’re going to get it wrong. You, too. You, too. Because I can’t think of a time, as a student of history — and I’ve participated in this business as long as almost anybody but my chairman from Michigan. I think I’ve been here — not a lot of you have served more than 36 years. TWS

Nowhere in that video does he say he’s talking about the stimulus bill. In fact it’s just the opposite, he says he won’t disclose what they were talking about. Again, watch Axelrod evade the question with the democrat talking points.

Hope & Change? Well there’s certainly no Hope if the new administration is going to be wrong a third of the time. And as for Change, just listen to Axelrod pull the same old democratic bullsh!t of changing the subject.

Do you still think this bunch of Chicago con-artist thugs are not taking us for the biggest ride in the history of the United States? They have a plan, and we’d better have one too.

The Greens Are Never Happy

Now the Greens have everything they’ve been waiting for. Both houses of congress are controlled by liberal democrats, and the White House has a radical  liberal President who has vowed to destroy America by insisting on “green” power, among various other things. So how could there be a problem? Seems to me, they don’t want green energy, they want no energy at all.  I think this is their plan….

What else could they want? Here’s the latest NIMBY* excuses.

*(not in my back yard)

A key part of President Obama’s energy plan — replacing fossil fuels with green alternatives — is facing increasing opposition from an unlikely source: environmentalists.

Some environmentalists, who have successfully fought a wind farm on the border of Oregon and Washington, are trying to block a massive solar plant in the Mojave desert. And now an Oregon county is considering a ban on wind power in the foothills of the blue mountains.

“We all want to be as green as we can be. But at what cost?” Richard Jolly of the Blue Mountain Alliance. “To take everything from us? This valley could be surrounded by them.”

Jolly says 400-foot wind turbines are a bird-killing eyesore. The developer argues the danger to birds is exaggerated but admits every big energy project has its downside.

“If we hold out for the perfect environmental silver bullet, if you will, it will always be 15 years down the road,” he said. “We have to make incremental progress.”

For decades, environmental groups have talked about “big oil,” painting the petroleum industry as greedy and destructive. Now similar language is being applied to renewables. Instead of eco-friendly green power, increasingly it’s “big wind” and “big solar.”

Large environmental groups, such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, bristle at the idea of dissension in the ranks.

“We are working very aggressively to make a planning process happen with utilities, with industry, with local groups all at the table,” said Rick Duke, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Center for Market Innovation.

Obama has set a goal of getting 25 percent of the nation’s power from renewable sources by 2025. The White House contends that will create millions of jobs and has the support of business and environmental leaders.

But many local activists say we need to slow this rush to renewables or risk trading one power problem for another. Source

Maybe they were surprised they got everything they wanted and they didn’t have a plan for that.

More dissent in the Democratic camp. Oh Darn!

Six Things You Should Know

About the Homeland Security “Report on Rightwing Extremism”. Because it’s fairly easy to be a Right Wing Extremist.

Homeland Security Warns of Rise in Right-Wing Extremism

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report entitled “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment”, dated April 7, 2009, which I have read, is apparently an unclassified summary of a larger classified report.

1.  The summary contains few proper names, has no footnotes of any significance, lists very few sources, and is drafted with a prejudice against anyone who criticizes the role of the federal government in our lives today. It lumps together in its definition of “rightwing extremism” hate groups, anti-government groups, and single issue groups “such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”

2.  The document itself cautions the reader that the document is “not to be released to the public, the media, or other personnel who do not have a valid need-to-know without prior approval” of the DHS. The document refers to itself as one of a series of intelligence assessments intended to “deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States.”

3.  The thrust of this report is that in the present environment of economic instability, returning military veterans, those who fear of the loss of Second Amendment-protected rights, those threatened by an African-American president, and those who fear “Jewish ‘financial elites’” could all be a fertile breeding ground for groups whose power and ideas the government hates and fears. The document is essentially a warning for DHS and FBI officials to be on the look-out for rootless persons looking for the comfort of groups as they may be a danger to American security.

4.  The summary (unclassified) document is terrifying. One can only imagine what is contained in the classified version. This document runs directly counter to numerous U.S. Supreme decisions prohibiting the government from engaging in any activities that could serve to chill the exercise of expressive liberties. Liberties are chilled, in constitutional parlance, when people are afraid to express themselves for fear of government omnipresence, monitoring, or reprisals. The document also informs the reader that Big Brother is watching both public and private behavior.

5.  The whole purpose of the First Amendment is to guarantee open, broad, robust debate on the policies and personnel of the government. The First Amendment presumes that individuals — NOT THE GOVERNMENT — are free to choose what they believe and espouse, what they read and say, and with whom they associate in public and in private. The writers of this abominable report are particularly concerned with the expression of opinions that might be used to fuel ideas that challenge federal authority or favor state and local government over the federal government. Unfortunately, legislation passed during the past eight years gives the DHS and the FBI the tools to monitor everything from a telephone conversation to the keystrokes used on a personal computer without a warrant issued by a federal judge.

6.  My guess is that the sentiments revealed in the report I read are the tip of an iceberg that the DHS would prefer to keep submerged until it needs to reveal it. This iceberg is the heavy-hand of government; a government with large and awful eyes, in whose heart there is no love for freedom, and on whose face there is no smile.

Some Solar Cycle Information. Two pieces from Watts Up With That?

The Double Quiet Sun
Usually, and that means in the past year, when you look at the false color MDI image from SOHO, you can look at the corresponding magnetogram and see some sort of disturbance going on, even it it is not visible as a sunspot, sunspeck, or plage area.
Not today.
Is That a Sunspot?
Yesterday I lamented that the sun was blank, not only on the SOHO MDI, but also the magnetogram. Within a couple of hours, one sunspeck appeared. I cited Murphy’s Law. As one commenter put it: ” I think if you check back for the last six months or so whenever you mention the lack of sunspots on here, one shows up.”.

HE’S MY PRESIDENT, BUT I DON’T HAVE TO LIKE IT
If I hear one more person point out that Obama is the president and that it’s our duty to support him, I just might run amok. For one thing, I resent being reminded that he actually won the election and that it’s not all a bad dream from which I’ll awaken as soon as the alarm clock rings. For another, there was a very good reason that I voted for John McCain, and it certainly had nothing to do with my having great expectations of the man, and everything to do with my conviction that Obama was a left-wing ideologue.

Rick Santelli Responds To White House Spokespuke

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs sarcastically tried to talk down to Rick Santelli after the Chicago Tea Party remarks. The contempt he spews has not been shown publicly by any other administration in history. A little thin skinned maybe?  Rick Santelli hit a nerve, and he’d better be ready for the “Joe The Plumber” treatment. Or worse. In the video below, Rick diccusses Gibbs’ remarks with Larry Kudlow.

Bottled Water: You Should Be The One To Choose

Obama Flips Us The Bird Again

This has got to be the ultimate in arrogance. What about releasing his records first? College records, health records, campaign donation  records….Birth Certificate?

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama has issued an executive order that limits the ability of former presidents to block the release of sensitive records of their time in the White House.

Obama’s action Wednesday in his first full day in office overturns an earlier order issued by George W. Bush.

Obama said former presidents may ask to have certain documents kept private, but they no longer may compel the National Archives to do so.

Obama’s executive order also makes clear that neither former vice presidents nor relatives of former presidents who have died have authority to keep records private.

Bush’s executive order, issued in November 2001, prompted a federal lawsuit and the partial invalidation of the order.

On his first day no less. One set of rules for him, another for everyone else.  What an arrogant prick. Welcome to the beginning of the indoctrination.

California Communist Party aka Democrats (plus Arnold)

Where to start….. I suppose the left is emboldened by The MessiUH winning the election. I guess they figure they might as well get get a head start on the road to socialism, if not communism, because they know that’s where they’re headed. I really thought they would try to hide it just maybe until the inauguration, but they just can’t help themselves. Drunk With Power keeps running through my head. Keep in mind here, The MessiUH wins by 5% and it’s a Mandate. Californians get the same 5% for prop 8, and it’s just fine to overturn a majority vote.

Democratic legislators ask state Supreme Court to void Prop. 8

Reporting from Sacramento — Forty-three Democratic legislators, including leaders of the California Senate and Assembly, filed a brief Monday urging the California Supreme Court to void Proposition 8.

Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata and incoming President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg signed the friend of the court brief, filed with the state Supreme Court.

• 

• 

No Republican legislator signed the petition, though Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, denounced the anti-gay marriage measure over the weekend.

With almost 11 million ballots tallied, Proposition 8 had 52.3% of the vote to 47.7%. Although many ballots remain to be counted, the 500,000-vote spread is viewed as insurmountable.

“The citizens of California rely on the Legislature and the courts to safeguard against unlawful discrimination by temporary, and often short-lived, majorities,” the legislators said in the document, written by attorneys at the firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.

“This is a Hail Mary, no question about it,” said Frank Schubert, manager of the Proposition 8 campaign.

Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown’s office would be obligated to defend the initiative. But Schubert said that if the high court agrees to hear the case, backers of the initiative would seek to intervene to defend it.

This will be the second time the vote results on this same issue are overturned. And with A.G. Moonbeam and Arnold RINO Schwarzenegger wanting it done, we are so screwed.

Welcome to a preview of things to come with the Democrats controlling all three houses. It is at the very least socialism……and the next step? Communism.
