The only thing the “Occupy Wall Street” gang has done in the past month is occupy space and news headlines. Whatever we’re being told about these “occupiers” by their sympathizers, when they get an opportunity to speak for themselves, it’s clear that their “minds” are fully occupied with stealing from the rich to give to themselves — and they want the government to do it for them.
But….this Anti-Occupation Gang has inspired me to create a number of graphics in response to their antics.
7. From “FREEDOM!” to…

I love the one about the “Occupier in Chief”. It’s so alarmingly accurate.
It’s going to be an excruciatingly long year to the election, but the results are likely to be quite satisfying. I hope we can revisit art at that time with the following themes:
Obama and his administration permanently discredited and tossed out by the voters in a landslide onto the ash heap of history.
The US senate cleaned out like the proverbial stables with Harry Reid washed away to permanent minority leader stable boy status.
The legacy media left bankrupt after voters decide en mass not to purchase their simian screed any longer. It would be especially enjoyable to see the NYT go chapter 11 with its Mexican benefactor out several hundred million.
Yeah, can’t wait for it; and can’t wait to watch the tattered remnants of the left, Reisch, Sunstein,Clinton,Biden,Gore etc blameing each other for what went so disasterously wrong.
I love how no Democrat dares to be seen on stage with Obama more than a year from the election. “Scheduling issues”, sigh.
Can you say Kryptonite?
Maybe I’m not one of the cool kids, but the first one seems the best and the rest seem more decent, all are well designed but the first gets the message across quickly and effectively while the others take a bit more time to piece together and I honestly didn’t quite get the third image. Anywho, that first one is perfect!
The hand? Look carefully. Three extra words, very faint, make it “A Helping Hand (out) (for life)”.
Thanks, and if by the third one you mean #3 and not from the top, it’s OCCUPY WALL streET, Occupy Wallet
I agree that the first one is the best, but I like the “parasites” shadow one also.
I have done some work myself with graphic arts, but I can’t possibly compete with Bosch Fawstin when it comes to making a point with graphics. I’m more of a wordsmith.
Here I use Twitter to pillory the Occubaggers. If you have Twitter, I’d appreciate a retweet.
Well done, Bosch!
(Are you the same Bosch who appears with Amy Piekoff on “Don’t let it go … unheard”?
I am, thanks.
This guy looks too clean to be part of the New York OWS crowdbut last trip to New York was before the rains.
You could certainly train drug sniffing dogs there.
These images range from very good to outright brilliant. Bravo!
my favs: 6, 2 and 1
BOSCH IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the last one! You got that right. We have been under foreign occupation since January of 2009.
Good stuff! Thanks.
The thing that troubles me in all this is how the Gov`t of NYC will allow this to go on week after week, with no permits, no sanitation,No toilet facilities, how soon will it be before there is a permanent saturation of the soil with urine., to the point that the earth will have to be removed and replaced, you are wagging your head, and muttering, this nut case, well have you ever been around where a cat or dog has urinated in an area, until there is no hope of recovery, for the next 500 years….we have the same here…It was mentioned by someone that these losers will stay around hoping that this will turn into violence,… i think that is what every one from 0b0zz0mo is also waiting for, and when HE nods to the union hacks, there will be blood….
Personally, I’m praying for early, wet, cold winter weather. Just above freezing. I’m thinking of the character of George Washington and his men, crossing the Delaware… giving their lives, their fortunes and the their sacred honor for our founding freedoms and the Constitution. These guys won’t get past the handouts and free food and the Soros $$$ because they have no character, no lives, they want to steel other’s “fortunes” and they certainly have no honor! I give them two days once the weather changes.
Yes, Thank God! If they supressed these yahoos, the Tea Party would lose its greatest recruiting tool ever. The MSMs are playing straight into our hands by showing these punks.
the 7 truly looks like Mel Gibson lol
That’s actually Smell Gibson, his deadbeat brother.
Any chance you are related to Bill Maher? Trying to get humor mileage out of Mel Gibson is as old as an Occupier’s under pants and as stale as Maher.
? The Braveheart one makes fun of the m’Occupiers, not Gibson. Ok, Mahr?
Thanks, everyone, appreciate the good words.
You rock!!!
I love the “FREEBIES!” one especially.
Did you know the cretins in the DC branch of #OWS demostrated against Harrison Ford? No, really. Ford was attending a $1000/plate charity event with the CEO of Wallmart. The fact that it was the Wallmart guy, a “1-percent-er (like Ford is NOT a 1% guy?), and it was $1000/plate seems to have riled them. Even the reporter on site said the protesters failed to acknowledge that it was a charity event for an environmental cause!
Doesn’t it really all come down to tribalism?
“Us” versus “not-one-of-us”?
@chris in Toronto & others who might be interested, we’ll be talking about OWS and its “Declaration” on this Sunday’s podcast: http://bit.ly/ogVkya
How about a cartoon showing the hand of a bank CEO squeezing 30% interest from a hapless credit card holder?
Or a gas hose wrapped around a motorist, draining his blood with each gallon going to the auto.
Or an image of your taxes being taken from you and handed over by the White House to a favored contributor.
Or of an anti-OWS person berating a person in rags, holding a food benefits card in his hand, not paying taxes on his $1,000 Social Security monthly income, while Jeffrey Immelt is seen applauding the berater, his pocvkets stuffed with no-taxed GE dollars.
Conservative radio blowhards apparently have concluded that all of us financially-crushed people (Rudy Giuliani manipulated property taxes to destroy my livelihood — no income but I have no problem getting pro bono work) will vote for Democrats, thereby demonstrating that they have as much contempt for us as liberals have.
Time to wonder that those conservative blowhards are not actually Democrat moles, helping give rise to a RAAPP claim from the left: Republicans are against poor people.
David, that’s a first class rant, but with your references to high gasoline prices, the White House, Obama advisor Jeffrey Immelt, and GE, home of MSNBC, I can’t tell if you’re a “pox on all their houses” kind of guy, or you don’t realize that those are all issues being driven by the left.
How about a cartoon showing the hand of a bank CEO squeezing 30% interest from a hapless credit card holder?
As a general rule, the only people being charged a 30% credit card interest rate are those who’ve not been very reliable at paying their credit card bills in the past. My wife and I have not paid a penny of credit card interest in many years. We pay the bill in full when it arrives each month. We do that by living within our means. You could try it.
Or a gas hose wrapped around a motorist, draining his blood with each gallon going to the auto.
There are several reasons why gas is so expensive (and yet cheaper per gallon than bottled water). These include the Obama administration’s restrictions on off-shore drilling and land-based drilling here in the US. We have huge oil reserves here in the US and the government is doing just about everything possible to prevent us from getting it. We’re the only country on Earth doing such a stupid thing.
Or an image of your taxes being taken from you and handed over by the White House to a favored contributor
On this one, we agree. Crony capitalism is a crime against all of us and stinks just as bad when a Republican does it as a Democrat.
Time to wonder that those conservative blowhards are not actually Democrat moles, helping give rise to a RAAPP claim from the left: Republicans are against poor people.
No, we’re against endless handouts to people demanding freebies. When my wife and I married 28 years ago, our total monthly income for the first several months was about $400. That would’ve put us in the bottom 10% of wage earners in America. We worked hard, got marketable degrees, spent less than we earned, and improved our skills over the decades. Today, we’re 100% debt free. We’re nothing special – if we can do it, anyone can.
LJ, Bravo… you OWN Suckerman! My kids are going places so fast because fools like Suckerman can’t (don’t?) compete with go-getters that know they make their own breaks. ‘The harder you work, the luckier you get.’
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Abraham Lincoln

Excellent and well written Larry J!
If you have all these complaints, join the TEA Party…you know the civilized group that respects public and private property, that wants less government (thereby less corruption), and lower taxes (spent wisely instead of paying off political favors), and a Constitutional government (instead of crony capitalism). Or you can defend the OWS crowd…the “give it to me cause I want it”, “you don’t deserve it no matter how hard you worked for it”, “we’re out here but we really don’t know why”, “hey dude watch I’m gonna crap on that squad car”, “we hate Wall Street, but we want Obama elected even though he gets more money from Wall Street than any politician in history” crowd. It’s up to you.
What a clueless child you are! Well, your so-called OWS movement is not new, we have seen it already in Spain and many places with the same pattern:
The LEFT was governing in such a bad way that they ended screwing everything up. And now, the leftist movements like OWS are not really protesting against those in charge (it’s the LEFT who are ideologically in favor or government intervening in the markets to save business, big and small ones, and taxing everyone to save businessmen who will be their political clients then). No, they are protesting because they notice the Left is really screwed now, and the RIght wing wave is going to sweep them and put them in the history trash can, and they can’t stand that.
The protestors don’t accept that is THEIR system that failed. This is not really a protest with any purpose, is just the final convulsions of a soon-to-die sick ideology.
“Republicans are against ‘poor people’ “.
I put poor people in quotes because poor is a relative state in today’s society. And more often than not, it’s a choice. Although I think I understand some of your angst, I believe it is misdirected. I have a parent who’s retirement savings account was gutted because of the way the democrats put new laws and regulations in on the stock market exchanges. And yes, she collects social security and collects the maximum she can because she worked until she was 70 years old.
But being poor is often a choice. And those choices start in grade school. Yes, grade school. It is fostered along by teachers who coddle the poor-performers and those who don’t seem to put much effort into getting any grades. Then, in high school, when students are allowed to “just be kids” because to drive them, discipline them, push them to seek higher goals if they’re willing to work for it, would be “mean”. That’s a direct quote from a principal I had this discussion with when I was substitute teaching in the 1990′s.
So, the kid graduates from high school and neither the parents nor the teachers expected anything out of him or her. The college wants income so they create bogus degree program, thus abusing their “nationally accredited” status in doing so and further letting the student down. Student graduates with honors with a “nature studies” degree and finds out that there are NO JOBS that cater to that “skill set” such as it is.
Now, said student is stuck. Gobs of student loan debt, no job, save the one they have at the local grocery store, if they are even willing to do that, and living at home in the basement. They’re 22 to 26 years old with no future.
Choices. All through this history, people CHOSE the easy path for the child/student. Then, the child/student carried on that great tradition by making more choices that only gave the impression of self-actualization, to coin a word used by the “modern thinkers” but to put it in layman’s terms, got a bullshit degree.
And all this time, the academics and high-brows thought very highly of this kid because they could parrot the loopy leftwing one-liners so well.
And there was no one there to stop them from this path; This CHOICE of failure. Except maybe grandpa, but nobody listens to him because all he ever talks about was when he had to work in the West Virginia coal mines 12 hours a day before he got called up to fight WWII. And the whole family thinks he’s nuts. But there was that day you saw his stuff in the attic and the written citations he held for bravery and “unwavering loyalty”, whatever that was.
So, I have no sympathy for the kids who are “starving” because they haven’t got a sense of priorities and that the world is spinning and leaving them behind.
I was 18, saving money for college when I lost my job during the Carter administration. I enlisted. I served over 10 years, earned an officer’s commission, after I put myself through college and I am not “rich” today but I do ok. I have been laid off once when things were tough but I found other work. I was re-hired after things improved. The company I work for stinks but I like the pay and benefits and the work is enjoyable.
But all along the way, I made choices to make sure I was marketable, kept an attitude of being realistic, worked hard, and worked SMART as well. I blame no one but myself for the choices I made. And sometimes I made the wrong ones. But the neat thing about that is, you can change your choices.
So I don’t feel so bad for some gen X’er who “can’t find a job” that will pay off their $100,000 in student loans. That was a foolish choice to make and will take a long time to pay off, if they can. Life is not the lottery. You don’t “pay your money and take your chances”; At least, you shouldn’t. It’s even worse if you put all your hopes and dreams in one plan that’s fragile to begin with.
Hey Colonel… you’re right, you have to make some smart choices. Inevitably, life is a crap shoot at times and despite one’s best efforts things don’t always go according to plan. But what I find a little odd in all this screeching is the absence of the real apex issue – the one from which all others fall and that is population. Population, as in over population, drives everything. The rise, creation actually, of the middle class in Europe was jump started by the plague. It created immense opportunities, stripped away class, and made it possible for folks who otherwise would have been stuck in serfdom to become upwardly mobile. Following the plague living conditions improved dramatically.
The facts are these – there aren’t enough jobs and there never will be. Bernie Madoffs and Soros’s aside, Wall Street is not the problem – we are. We’ve never, ever wanted to face this fact. No one wants to get up in front of the crowd and say, “Hey, if we didn’t have so many people to provide for….etc.” That person would get boo’d down, even accused of supporting genocide, forced sterlization, you know, the usual stuff. It’s a dirty subject, it’s a hide your head in the sand issue but failing an asteroid strike or some such, population will continually increase and things will only get worse. I studied population ecology and while the Occupy Wall Street thingy has obvious causes like the socialist left, Unions, and the puppet master himself – George Soros, the phenomena itself has all the tell-tales of over population tension. Some times we call it “rat in a cage” syndrome.
Any way, thanks for your own insightful insights!
Truly, competition in populated places is tough. However, starting again in youth, one needs proper guidance at how to be competitive, learn to capitalize on their strong skills, improve upon their lesser ones and most of all, be adaptable. Sure, everyone has something they’re good at. But, unfortunately, the number of people needed in a particular skill is variable. So, if you can’t get employed at the skill you have, you have to settle for something else, but never lose sight of the goal.
Along the way, learn, learn, learn. Listen.
As far as over-population goes, many behaviorists have stated that with mammals, the population will increase to beyond the limits of its food supply. I can agree with that. However, in our species’ past, wars have been great population controllers. Some might argue that we were able to be prosperous after WWII because so many of our young men were killed. But given as a percentage of total males in the nation and total population of the nation, this argument becomes debatable. Obviously young men who would be getting married and having families would balloon the numbers and the “baby boom” seems to validate that notion.
But the US as a nation was still growing and mechanization of farming really took off, allowing the US to produce ever more food at ever lower prices. For a time.
The OWS types though…seem to be more of a cut that they’re whining because they want it all, right now. And they seem to believe that when they got to a certain age, they would be rolling in money, living in a 4500 sq ft home with a Ferrari and an Escalade in the driveway. This indicates that the professors in the uber-liberal studies courses, who have never had a real job themselves, were just talking out of their a**es about what to expect when they graduated with their over-inflated degree in “urban development studies”.
Then, the students bought into it and lived insular lives with their campus buddies and living on borrowed money.
Now they are in the real world and they don’t like it. It’s not anything like it was in the brochure. Dammit. So…in typical reprobate fashion, and as they were taught to do since childhood, it must be someone else’s fault because they, themselves have never done anything wrong. After all, mommy and daddy have said so for two decades now.
Ever notice that? Parents think their kids are ALL little angels. I ran into another one at Walmart tonight. While trying to look at the DVD’s on the rack, this 6 year old kept standing in front of them and playing with them, and blocking my view. So I’d move down to another area. Kid kept standing right in front of me. I glanced at the mother…and at the kid. Mother gave me a sour look; I knew there was not going to be any discipline for the kid. So I went elsewhere until they left.
But, these kids have been given everything. My next door neighbor’s kid is like this. He’s 19. Whenever I talk to him he doesn’t answer my questions and basically, ignores me. I’ve never been rude to him, always been upbeat and cheerful and yet, he doesn’t even acknowledge me if I say hello.
I was in the grocery store last night. Couldn’t find the assorted nuts. (no jokes please). I asked the girl at the checkout counter. Her answer was, “I have no clue” and the stock-boy/bagger offered no assistance whatsoever. They were both in their 20′s. Apparently, they don’t get paid enough to go look or find a manager to ask. And, I did look for some time myself. Hadn’t been in that store for some time and the jars of nuts were not in any of the usual places.
So I went up and down every aisle that was a food aisle. No luck. So I asked for help and got, “I have no clue.”.
In my discussion on the phone with the manager, I told him I would’ve gotten fired on the spot for such an answer to a customer. He did agree and was obviously annoyed.
But this is what we have coming up.
Over population? I don’t think so. However, if they die off because they’re too damned lazy to get a job and feed themselves, so be it.
Ever try thinking for yourself? There are no Republicans or Democrats just politicians. Grow up and think.
Your comments:
How about a cartoon showing the hand of a bank CEO squeezing 30% interest from a hapless credit card holder? If they don’t like it, don’t get a credit card……
Or a gas hose wrapped around a motorist, draining his blood with each gallon going to the auto. If they don’t like it, don’t buy a car……
Or an image of your taxes being taken from you and handed over by the White House to a favored contributor. If they don’t like it, don’t vote Democrat……
Or of an anti-OWS person berating a person in rags, holding a food benefits card in his hand, not paying taxes on his $1,000 Social Security monthly income, while Jeffrey Immelt is seen applauding the berater, his pocvkets stuffed with no-taxed GE dollars. Most ‘anti-OWS’ persons I know would give the person in rags some money or tell them about the nearest homeless shelter so they could get a place to stay and something to eat. Geoffrey Emmelt is the jobs czar. The only problem is he is creating jobs in China after moving jobs in the US over seas……
Conservative radio blowhards apparently have concluded that all of us financially-crushed people (Rudy Giuliani manipulated property taxes to destroy my livelihood — no income but I have no problem getting pro bono work) will vote for Democrats, thereby demonstrating that they have as much contempt for us as liberals have. I think you have shown who the blow hard is…….
Time to wonder that those conservative blowhards are not actually Democrat moles, helping give rise to a RAAPP claim from the left: Republicans are against poor people. Republicans are against poverty – not poor people, and try to enact policy that will offer a hand up, not a hand out. Too many are using the hand out as a way of life instead of temporary assistance until they get back on their feet.
You’re right on a lot of those. I believe that the usury laws should not have been suspended, and I’m VERY much against Obama’s crony capitalism (aka “my biggest campaign contributors are all too important to fail — or even suffer a loss!”)
Great work!
“Disagree, but avoid ad hominem attacks.”
This whole thing is a bunch of ad hominem attacks.
Besides, the parasites are the wealthy 1%.
“Besides, the parasites are the wealthy 1%.”
Parasites? Recreate ’43!
Bosch, you rock!!!
Too bad there’s probably no way, without being cruel and insensitive to the victims to do an occupy poster about the rapes taking place in these Fleabagger hotels.
(Excuse me, survivors, meant only half in snark.)
It’s refreshing to know someone so skilled at getting information into the hands of the general public also GETS IT!!!
I was most struck by the image of a band, in the news, screeching F America. The lead guitarist was wearing a jester’s hat – so sppropriate, another was old, fat, slovenly and fully (white) haired and bearded and, well, you get the picture; a poor and insulting rip off of the Grateful Dead. For this sorry bunch of losers it was their chance to shine, their moment in the sun, and they looked and sounded ridiculous. We should thank them for revealing to the media and thus the country just what the “occupiers are all about besides themselves – nonsense. Nonsense from stupid old hippies and young, inexperienced, self absorbed kids who’ve never really done anything.
It would be great if there was some sort of title,
so when printed, it would be clear what it refers to.
Most people don’t get it, and the rest can’t get it.
I love Pig-man. Is his side-kick Bacon-boy?
Batman’s his sidekick
Poor people…. True, there are people that cannot take care of themselves and I have no problem with them being on aide. But, for about 80% of the people that are on welfare are able to work doing something. I see people in wheelchairs out selling pencils. Substitute the word lazy for poor and you have it!
Nicely done but you left out the word ILLEGAL
Hit the wrong button?? Anyway,
Nicely done but you left out the word ILLEGAL from #1.
ARE THESE PEOPLE POOR?
Free food stamps, welfare, free housing allowance, free healthcare,
children get free school free breakfast & lunch, no taxes to pay.
Joyce W. you’re right about the 80% are ABLE to work but a large percentage of them have little to no opportunities to find work. You seem like an educated person probably living in a nice suburban neighborhood like me where we can find a job when we need it. Problem is a lot of the people on welfare live in places that look like a war zone, have next to no education and are forced to get “handouts.” I don’t like it any more than any of you do but its a fact!
Say what you will about the OWS’s, the people that started the movement had the best of intentions. Admittedly, there are an aweful lot of hippie quacks that seemed to get a lot of camera time. That doesn’t mean the intended message should be down-played. Fact is that the top 1% has been making more and more money than everyone else to the point where we are dead last in this category among “developed countries.” CEO’s making millions of dollars in bonuses for running the financial industry into the ground while 2 million foreclosures have occured due to their indiscretions. This is what the OWS movement was supposed to be about.
“CEO’s making millions of dollars in bonuses for running the financial industry into the ground while 2 million foreclosures have occured due to their indiscretions. This is what the OWS movement was supposed to be about.”
Then why wasn’t OWS directed at Fannie, Freddie, and the Community Reinvestment Act, which requires the financial industry to issue mortgages to high credit risks most likely to default?
Ed,
The Community Reinvestment Act was a colossal mistake that turned out to be nothing more than a deregulation of the financial industry that was pushed onto their government pals that have their hands deep in their pockets as it is. Wall Street (Fannie & Freddie) is able to concoct these “reforms” just because of their financial strength in our broken government is stronger than the “will of the people.” Between Credit Default Swaps and derivatives Wall Street along with the financial industry were turning a profit based on ordinary people’s failure to understand what they were getting themselves into. I guess my point is that Wall Street, the financial industry and our government are in bed together anyway, so the OWS’s went to the root of the problem which means you follow the money (ie. Wall STreet)
Of course they have no education; they took out those tens of thousands in student loans and spent them on five years of partying whilst they showed up for class often enough to get bachelorette degrees in Angry Studies.
ISTR that, in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in the Nazarene Codicil, Abraham tells the rich man something along the lines of, “My son, in life you had all the good things whilst Lazarus suffered horribly; but now in death, the roles are reversed”. The Occupiers have had their success: the sex, the drugs, the designer jeans and high-end electronics, the not having to worry about where the rent money or the next meal was coming from. Now they are suffering the poverty and worry of the mediocre students that they were.
Akatsukami,
So you’re grouping all the OWS’s as drug addicts that were mediocre students??? That may be the most blatantly closed minded and judgmental thing i’ve read in this blog!! You sound like a good God fearing person so remember to “judge not lest ye be judged”
Bosch when is “Infidel #2″ going to come out??? I purchased the first issue and will buy #2 when it is available.
Thanks, and the one thing I can say for sure is that The Infidel #2 will be out by the end of the year.
Love the art
Hate the comments that look more like a phd thesis
