Recommend Be the first of your friends to recommend this.
On Tuesday, militant, Marxist, anti-war, and gay-rights activists–including some suspected of providing material support to foreign terrorist
organizations– led the Occupy Chicago protesters into City Hall to stage an “in your face” protest directed at Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
We caught up with one protester, Roger Fraser, a retired Palatine, Illinois school teacher. Fraser is a proud member of the “99%” who earns a modest$7,792.75 a month from his pension.
Fraser is also known as a militant gay rights activist and a member of the Gay Liberation Network –the same organization founded by Chicago G-8 and
NATO protest organizer –and militant, anti-war, social-justice radical–Andy Thayer.
You may remember a previous interviewfrom earlier this year, released by Andrew Breitbart, filmed at a Code Pink-led protest against the Koch brothers inPalm Springs, California–where Fraser called for “Revolution now,” and exclaimed, “Just like in Egypt!“
In the following interview, conducted yesterday inside City Hall, we asked Fraser if “this” was the kind of revolution he was talking about. Fraser told us,
“This is the beginning.”
When asked what he thought it would take to achieve the activists’ goals, he remarked: “This kind of thing on a massive scale.“ He a lso answered in theaffirmative as to whether or not the revolution would require collapsing the American government, and explained: ”Because….the resistance against this
will be overwhelming…very strong….and relentless.”

"He also answered in the affirmative as to whether or not the revolution would require col lapsing the American government"
Sedition, pure and simple. Aidi ng known terrorists? Treason.
Charge. Convict. Execute. That's the law, and the law is the only thing we have le ft to save this country from this vermin.

Remedial Economics from today's WSJ:
The Occupy Wall Street protests have drawn huge numbers of confused and directionless young people, but maybe that's not all bad. Some of them at
least seem to be getting a remedial course in economics.
Nan Terrie learned an expensive le sson last w eek about the importance of property rights. "Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment," the
18-year-old protester told the New York Post. "I had my Mac stolen—that was l ike $5,500." Why? Because she left it in a public place, amid a
crowd demanding the redistribution of wealth. Imagine that.
Perverse incentives were at work at Occupy Boston, where 36-year-old Andrew Warner told the Boston Herald: "It's turning into us against them."
By "them" he didn't mean rich bankers but street vagrants: "They come in here and they're looking at it as a way of getting a free meal and a place to
crash, which i s totally fine, but they don't bring anything to the table at a ll." The same is true i n New York, where "sanitation committee" member
Lauren Digioia told the Daily News: "There's a lot of takers here and they feel entitled."
The makeshift government at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park i s also deali ng with the problem of externalities, in the form of percussionists who irri tate
neighbors and fel low protesters alike by drumming at all hours. That has inspired both regulations (drumming is permitted only at certain hours) and
taxes. New York magazine repor ts that the "finance working group" had levied a "percussion tax" of 50% on tips.
Drummer Shane Engelerdt sounds like a tea party member complaining about taxation wi thout representation: "They didn't even give the drummers a
say. . . . They're l ike the banks we're protesting." Actually, they're li ke the government the protesters a re trying to expand—but perhaps that will
become clear i n the next lesson.

Collapsing capitalism unless someone can figure out how to make a soc iety run without currency, finite re sources, and the need for human labor, i s
pretty pointless. Communism doesnt work either.
Sooner or l ater, like per haps within the next half century, it's quite possibl e that new technology will aleviate a number of human concerns about
resources and labor but until then we're stuck with what we got. Grant it, a good reform agenda that works within the current system would have been
a lot smarter to pursue than a world social ist state for some within the OWS movement.

I can't think of a faster way of getting one's melon "collapsed" a t the business end of a billy club than to do this in Chicago City Hall. Br illi ant!
Memo to Mr. Fraser the "revolutionary:" That $93,513-a-year pension of yours is nearly twice the median household income for Illinois and is in at
least the 90th percentile for household income nationally. That puts you a LOT closer to the 1 percent than to the 99 percent, hypocrite.

My private sector pension was eliminated back in the early 90's. It was replaced by the 401K. And of course, we know this will either be erodedaway by Wall Street's bubble industry, or confiscated by the federal government looking for their fair share to r edistribute.

So what is this revolutionary traitor complaining about? Sounds li ke he's scammed the system with that bloated pension. How much of that $93,513
does he contribute to the needy? My bet is $0.

Sure, let's al l unite and crumble America down to her knees, create more programs that give more free sh!t to American's that don't work and then
expect us not to look like Europe right now.

and need to be given the maximum devestation possible. You crush rebellions, you do not allow them to fester like an open so re.
Before my words are misinterpreted, this is the job for the police. Let them go to town.

We should be getting quite a li st of OWS people by now. I think it's time to start organizing protests in front the of their homes, coll eges, universities,
union halls, etc. Kind of tough when the res t of us are working and taking care of business though.
