Bill O'Reilly Examines the Money Behind OWS

Bill O'Reilly in this Talking Points Memo on 5/22/2012 identifies the money and power behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. O'Reilly identifies long time left wing activist John Cavanagh, Director of the Institute for Policy Studies, which is is funded to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars by none other than George Soros through the Tides Foundation. Also SEIU, headed by leftist Mary Kay Henry provides free rent to OWS. Warning: viewers may want to stop the video at about 4:15 point before the inane Alan Combes chimes in.




Not mentioned by O'Reilly is Moveon.org. Here's a copy of the Moveon.org Occupy Spring training "Trainer's notes" booklet. The long list of radical organizations orchestrating OWS includes Van Jones and Rebuild the Dream, SEIU, AFL-CIO, Tides, New Organizing Institute, Movement Strategy Center, Jobs with Justice, UAW, National Peoples Action, Color of Change, UNITE HERE, Greenpeace, Institute for Policy Studies, PICO (IAF), Working Families Party, Rainforest Action Network, American Federation of Teachers, Leadership Center for the Common Good, UNITY, National Guestworker Alliance, International Brotherhood of the Teamsters, Pushback Network, Progressive Democtrats of America, Change to Win, Global Justice Alliance, Campaign Action Fund, ENGAGE, NDLON, Working Families, Presente.org, and POWER....just to name a few.

Any the MSM said the TEA Party movement was orchestrated. Amazing.

"The Tyranny of Clichés: How Liberals Cheat in the War of Ideas"

One of the conservative movement's leading thinkers, Jonah Goldberg, discusses his new book, The Tyranny of Clichés, which exposes and refutes the many silly meme's that liberals use to push their agenda. Also, this is my first exposure to GBTV and it's very impressive.

Obama, the Chronic Liar

Glenn Beck Exposes the many, many, lies of President Obama. You won't see anything like this in the MSM but each time Sarah Palin opens her mouth, there are 100 "fact checkers" from the NY Slimes and the Washington Compost waiting to set the record straight.

Creative Genius of Dave Brubeck

Freedom is the rallying call for those of us who oppose the social justice agenda. But lest we forget, freedom is not just the mother of productivity and wealth, but also of creativity. Jazz is truly one of the uniquely American forms of art, and the greatness of those who created it wasn't borne out of grants from the NEA or some master plan of elites. Jazz emerged spontaneously from the creative spark in the hearts of its performers and their love for their art—in a society that accepts and values individuality and change. So, in honor of April being Jazz Appreciation Month…here is Dave Brubeck’s classic, Take Five, performed in Belgium in 1964. Enjoy the show!

If I Wanted America to Fail

"If I Wanted America to Fail" is a powerful video about how the environmental agenda has been infected by extremism and has become an economic suicide pact. The video was created by FreeMarketAmerica.Org, an organization fighting to protect America against attempts to control individuals through de-industrialization and other wacko environmentalist policies that concentrate the power of the state. It's mission is...

"...to defend economic freedom against environmental extremism. Since the 1960s, environmental regulation has skyrocketed by over 7,000 percent! It’s a no-brainer that everyone wants clean water and clean air. But when it comes to environmental regulation, we’ve catapulted past commonsense."

Coke Partners With Communist Van Jones

Today's Wall Street Journal Op Ed reports on the pathetic appeasement of corporate America to socialist Van Jones and his Color of Change group. Color of Change has manufactured a campaign to portray the free market advocacy group, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), as racist as a result of its support of voter ID laws. Preposterous and even laughable you say? Well this is no laughing matter. Corporate America is joining with the radicals.

"Color of Change and outfits like the Center for Media and Democracy are playing up the race angle because they know it has the most potential to spook big businesses. If they merely fought against tax cuts or school choice, the companies would ignore them. But if you shout "racism" in a crowded marketplace, most CEOs duck and cover.

And sure enough, Coca-Cola quickly announced it would stop its $25,000 donation to ALEC, saying in a statement that 'Our involvement with ALEC was focused on efforts to oppose discriminatory food and beverage taxes, not on issues that have no direct bearing on our business.' So Coke executives are happy to get ALEC's help in their self-interest but head for the tall grass when ALEC needs a friend. Read the full WSJ Op Ed here.

So here we have it. This revolutionary, leftist organization is calling the shots with Coke, as well as with other corporate progressives/appeasers such as Mars, Wendy's, Kraft and The Gates Foundation. Doubt that Van Jones and his Color of Change is radical? Perhaps you have seen Jones as a regular guest on CNN with Soledad O’Brien and thought he looked respectable enough. Listen to his own words and judge for yourself.

The Color of Change explicitly supports race- and gender-based preferences in government contracting, college admissions, and hiring/promotion policies.
