This is sad. Really sad. Evidently there just aren’t enough losers, ingrates and enviers in the country to fill out the ranks of the supposed “99%” of Americans who prefer class warfare to work.
The S.E.I.U. is teaming with the Daily Kos to beg for bodies to occupy Wall Street and any business district out in the heartland.
From the S.E.I.U. email that just landed in my hotmail box:
By now you’ve seen the thousands of brave students, workers and the unemployed occupying Wall Street.
But did you know that as of yesterday, there are over 300 solidarity “occupy events” happening across the country and around the clock?
In Philadelphia, 1,000+ individuals took to City Hall on Tuesday night.
In Washington, D.C., people have camped out in McPherson Square, symbolically located on K Street, since last week.
In L.A., citizens have spent six straight days and nights outside City Hall protesting against income inequality and joblessness.
The crowds and peaceful demonstrations will only get larger and louder as more Americans find the courage to stand up and demand Wall Street, CEOs and millionaires pay their fair share to create good jobs now.
This is the moment that determines whether this movement succeeds or falls flat. Will you pledge to help the movement spread by visiting an Occupy event in Alpharetta? You can sign up and find a comprehensive list of events here:

Let’s see now. Wouldn’t this fit the definition of “astro-turf”? And how about racial diversity? I’ve been looking at the photos of these mobs and they look almost all-white to me. Not to mention the fact that these rent-a-mobs are disturbing the peace, interfering with people actually trying to get to work and often breaking the law.
At any rate, when you have to use big labor to beg for warm bodies, then I think you’re not quite representative of any “99%” of Americans.
What do you think?
That’s astroturfing, plain and simple.
This is just like in Wisconsin. We all know how well that turned out. Maybe we can get pictures of demonstrators being bussed in.
Why don’t they offer to pay $10 an hour? That’s what they pay the non-unionized day laborers who man their picket lines.
I think most of the “losers, ingrates, and enviers” will opt for computer games in mom’s basement. When it gets bitterly cold outside? No one will show, because that’s like, you know, haaard.
Does the Ghetto-rat Obama think that he is “fooling us”? Obama is behind this just like he was behind the Wisconsin fiasco.
Alpharetta, maybe. But don’t be spillin’ out into Forsyth county. Nor Cherokee. Y’all keep your astroturf in Fulton, where it’s expected, or Milton, where the leftist yuppies went to escape Fulton.
Forsyth will shut y’all right down. Go on, go see. Please.
Obama’s civilian army. Did we think he was kidding?
I don’t see anything nefarious about this. It would be just like a Tea Party activist sending an email encouraging people to attend a rally. If, however, it was sent to only SEIU employees who were encouraged to protest while they are on the clock, or if it offered to pay the recipients of the email for attending, that would be a valid complaint. Some “occupiers” do, in fact, seem to be paid, so there is astro-turfing going. This is just a normal “get out the people” email.
It’s all one big psyop, folks… Most of the events you’ve seen over the last few years are all staged events… Check out the work of a yt journalist called, “dallasgoldbug” and see how he’s exposing all of the fakery going on in our world… You know he’s for real due to the death threats he’s beginning to receive for his work exposing the massive fraud being perpetrated upon the slumbering masses…
The last thing tptb want is for a true awakening to occur…
and just for the record, i don’t know the youtuber, dallasgoldbug in any way other than watching his vids and leaving a comment or two…
i found him because i was looking for video evidence of the frauds going on in this country & around the world…
there was/is a feeling when watching the first vids covering the occupy wall street farce, that things looked jussst a little too slick in the vid & audio quality, for these to have just been “amateur videos”, ya know?
and so now i know why…
groups that protest will never accomplish their (non)goals… what it’s gonna take, is for every individual in this country to take real, financial action… stop paying the corporations that are funding all sides of the chaos that is growing daily, due to their manipulations…
any group that begins to grow will be automatically compromised by the alphabet agencies and from there, subverted to fit the agenda of the current rulers of our little sphere…
Good Luck, Y’all!
