Teachers Unions Pay for Masses Of Democratic/Socialist Lemmings

It amazes me how ready people are to be led towards a goal they do not know anything about… literally. Anti-Americanism and socialism on display in this great video by Rebel Pundit — Via Big Government:

Monday night Chicago Teachers Union and Occupy Chicago protesters, along with some local residents, showed up in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood to protest converting 18 public schools into charter schools. While none of the schools considered for conversion are in the north-side neighborhood, these community organizers chose this location specifically because it is where Mayor Rahm Emanuel resides.

We asked several protesters the meaning of their signs and what brought them out to join the protest march. Many were quite pleasant and agreed to respond–despite being completely unaware of both the meaning and the names mentioned on the signs and stickers they held. There was one group in attendance, however, that responded to questioning with both defensiveness and aggression, directing their surprising hostility both at myself and another journalist on the scene.

After explaining who I was, a woman began to follow me through the crowds, interrupting interviews I was conducting and instructing protesters not to participate. One of her companions confronted me as I was attempting to cover the event, and refused to respond when I asked his affiliation or give his name, as well as acknowledge any organizations he is a part of. After further research, we identified him as Dennis Kosuth, a socialist organizer and longtime member of the International Socialist Organization. Both became quite confrontational and continued to harass myself and the other citizen journalist on the scene for the duration of the protest.

The Left Protecting the Status Quo ~ denying the documented rapes at Occupy protests essentially victimizes the victims all over again.

…Would these rapes have occurred had there been no Occupy camps? Debatable–however it invites questions about why a movement protesting for a free living wage, free education, free health care, free birth control, free stuff, free stuff, free stuff would have among its participants men who think they’re entitled to free sex, too. It’s the entitlement mentality. Additionally: Occupy established its camps in direct opposition to the police and created entire lawless zones subject to a governing body called a General Assembly that communicated through “down twinkles.” Organizers covered up crimes and encouraged others to do the same. There was no protection provided; no one was accountable under the law, as the law was utterly rejected. Not every Occupier is a rapist–of course!–but the movement’s lawless aesthetic and willingness to cover up crime absolutely contributed to the unsafe culture…

 

 

Seinfeld Star Daniel von Bargen Shoots Himself in Head ~ and Lives to Call 911 ((Graphic Call Included))

TMZ & DailyFix

The Hollywood actor, Daniel von Burgen, who played Mr. Kruger in Seinfeld, shot himself in the head Monday morning in a failed suicide attempt. He is currently in an Ohio hospital, clinging to life in critical condition. But, not only was von Burgen able to survive, he was able to nonchalantly call 911 for help.

“I’ve shot myself in the head … and I need help,” Daniel told the 911 operator, just as calm as he could be. The calmness of both von Burgen and the operator make the call even more eerily creepy.

When the blase operator asked if the shooting was an accident, von Burgen replied, “I was supposed to go to the hospital and I didn’t want to… They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes.”

So, unwilling to lose a few toes, Daniel decided taking his life with a .38 was a better option. When asked where exactly he shot himself, Daniel answered, ” I shot in my temple.”

Daniel von Burgen even sounds annoyed with the police department when they tell him to stay where he is and to show his hands. The bizarre 911 call was obtained by TMZ, but be warned — it is highly disturbing…

Just a humorously morbid  aside. At one point the 911 operator was asking for a phone number of kin… he then asked Daniel von Bargen if he remembered it “off the top of his head.” Bad choice of words.

Christian Pastor Sentenced to Death In Iran (Plus: Stories of Persecution) Religion of Peace Doing What It Does Best ~ Murder


From Video Description:

A trial court in Iran has issued its final verdict, ordering a Christian pastor to be put to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, according to sources close to the pastor and his legal team.

Supporters fear Youcef Nadarkhani, a 34-year-old father of two who was arrested over two years ago on charges of apostasy, may now be executed at any time without prior warning, as death sentences in Iran may be carried out immediately or dragged out for years. 

It is unclear whether Nadarkhani can appeal the execution order. 

“The world needs to stand up and say that a man cannot be put to death because of his faith,” said Jordan Sekulow, executive director of The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). 

“This one case is not just about one execution. We have been able to expose the system instead of just letting one man disappear, like so many other Christians have in the past.”

It is also feared that Nadarkhani will be executed in retaliation as Iran endures crippling sanctions and international pressure in response to its nuclear agenda and rogue rhetoric. The number of executions in Iran has increased significantly in the last month.

“This is defiance,” Sekulow said. “They want to say they will carry out what they say they will do.”

The order to execute Nadarkhani came only days after lawmakers in Congress supported a resolution sponsored by Pennsylvania Rep. Joseph Pitts denouncing the apostasy charge and calling for his immediate release. 

“Iran has become more isolated because of their drive for nuclear weapons, and the fundamentalist government has stepped up persecution of religious minorities to deflect criticism,” Pitts, a Republican, told FoxNews.com. “The persecuted are their own citizens, whose only crime is practicing their faith.”

Lefty Professor Jeffrey Sachs Called Out On Double Standard

Bottom Line! After attacking conservative, Professor Sachs backtracks and blames “the system:”

JEFFREY SACHS: He’s a completely–by the way–unlikable guy.  Do we really need major gambling influence and a guy that has played all over the world with governments so that he gets the casino licenses, and charges up and down, as really a core leader of our politics. Come on.  

[….]

SCARBOROUGH: Answer my question [Sachs grimaces angrily as seen in screengrab]: who do you prefer? Whose approach do you prefer? George Soros, who’s doing things legally and as a citizen of the country he can do it and I have no problem with him doing it, setting up all these organizations to shill this money and to funnel this money so it’s harder to trace it back to who he’s contributing to, or a guy who writes a check and says this is who I am, this is what I’m doing?

[….]

SACHS: I’m not attacking one side. I’ve been saying from the beginning that the system is rotten.

At least the Professor tells it how it is once and a while!

Stacey Dooley Shows Amazement That Islamo-Fascism Is Not Politically Correct (UK) `We Just Need To Talk It out“

Commentary from Vlad Tepes:

The host is very good looking. I would recommend turning the sound off when she speaks though. Her analysis is, well, lets say no one hired her for it.

“We will never get anywhere unless we all communicate, we all speak together”

Wow! If only I had known! We could solve the problem of total Islamic intransigence, terror, supremacism just by speaking to one another. The host should be licking stamps somewhere for a charity. Her analysis is staggeringly vacuous and her knowledge of this subject is actually much worse than none. She is chockablock full of fake knowledge of Islam which is much worse than knowing nothing about it.

Stacey Dooley should study a bit more on Taqiyya
