Revealingly, official resources provided on the Occupy site as part of the planning for last week’s chaos shows several manuals from the Ruckus Society, whose mission is to provide “environmental, human rights, and social justice organizers with the tools, training, and support needed to achieve their goals”; this includes training radical activists in direct action techniques.The same Ruckus Society that helped to spark the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle, which devolved into violent unrest, was listed as a “friend and partner” for last week’s Day of Action.
The Ruckus training manuals provided at the Occupy site leave little to the imagination. Titles include: “Blockading for Beginners,” “Anonymous Riot Guide,” “Define White Supremacy,” “Uncle Sam the Pusher Man” and, of course, the (still!) Communist Party-connected National Lawyers Guild’s “Legal Observer Manual.”
Is the ”50 Crucial Points for Nonviolent Struggle” manual offered tongue in cheek? A closer look at Ruckus reveals an even larger brigade of extremists who are now deeply tied to Occupy:
Ruckus is funded by the Tides Center, a massive money hole foundation that channels fiscal sponsorship to a who’s who of conspicuously far-left groups.
Another beneficiary of Tides is Adbusters magazine, which is reported to have come up with the Occupy idea after so-called Arab Spring protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The Adbusters website currently serves as a central hub for Occupy’s nationwide planning.
The Tides-funded MoveOn.org has coordinated with Occupy and has used the movement’s activism to springboard its own initiative to take on capitalism with a Make Wall Street Pay campaign.
A major Tides donor is the billionaire financier George Soros.
Who should be indicted for treason and conspiracy charges the day after Obama and his attack poodle Holder are booted out of power. He'll never see a day in jail, of course -- those billions will buy a lot of high-powered lawyers -- but it'd be worth it to watch the old Nazi scuttle off to China, just in case.
