Occupy Wall Street update

As I watched the live stream yesterday, which was in and out all day, I saw several people come in and speak to the crowds.  It raises a great deal of concern.

Dr. Cornel West, who is "Popular Marxist intellectual; describes himself as a “prophet”, Highly paid campus speaker and professor at Princeton,  Friend of Louis Farrakhan,  Political advisor to Al Sharpton, Views America as a nation thoroughly infested with white racism"  Read more here.  You can watch his interview with CNN while at "Occupy Wall Street" here.

Francis Fox Piven, which I have written about before, also spoke.  To refresh memory of who she is:  "Co-creator of the so-called Cloward-Piven Strategy,  Seeks to foment economic crises, which can then be exploited for purposes of transformational social change,  Has been a guest speaker at numerous Socialist Scholars Conferences,  Admirer of Karl Marx, Views violent rioting as an effective and desirable means of agitating for social change"  Read more about her here.  See the video of her speech to the protestors here.

Now these two are not a good combination.  When people that are Marxist, Socialist, and Communist are coming to support a group of protesters, this presents a problem for the rest of us.  Question is, with all these groups coming together, how will this end.  It is my opinion it won't be good if they continue.

Then you have Van Jones. Who,  "Became a Communist in the aftermath of the 1992 "Rodney King riots" in Los Angeles,  Founded the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights in 1996,  Was active in the anti-Iraq War demonstrations organized by International ANSWER,  Served as a board member of the Rainforest Action Network and Free Press,  In March 2009, President Barack Obama named Jones to be his so-called “Green Jobs Czar.”,  Resigned in early September 2009"  Read more on Van Jones here.

As I have said before and I will say again, educate yourself on these people and what is going on in this country.  If we leave it up to people like Van Jones, Cornel West, and Francis Fox Piven, those of us who believe in the Constitution, which is being destroyed daily, will have a New Constitution that will take away many of our rights and opportunities.

The events that are happening on Wall Street is spreading.  We need to prepare ourselves for what may come and pray for it not to erupt into an "Arab Spring" here in this country.  The elections next year are critical to our future.  Educate yourself on the canidates and VOTE for the one you feel is best for our country.
