Intifada in Ferguson

ferguson-palestine-occupation-apThe same violent protesters in Ferguson, Missouri demonstrating against the killing of Michael Brown have also been taking it to the streets in Detroit and elsewhere to press for the release of a Palestinian terrorist who killed two Israelis.

Activists are blackmailing the grand jury that is now hearing evidence against Wilson. If the grand jurors refuse to indict Wilson, radical activists are promising even more mayhem. The message is unmistakable: indict the cop, and there will be peace; don’t, and Ferguson will burn.

Brown is the young, black, 6’4″, 292-pound man who was killed by white police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9. When media outlets describe Brown they usually omit the fact that he viciously assaulted Wilson and tried to seize his handgun, presumably in an effort to do the officer harm. Journalists also tend to downplay the fact that minutes before Brown attacked Wilson he robbed a convenience store.

The Palestinian terrorist is Rasmea (also spelled Rasmieh) Odeh who was convicted by a Detroit jury on Monday of immigration fraud. Prosecutors accused Odeh of killing Israelis in the Sixties and then lying about it in U.S. immigration papers.

Odeh was previously convicted in Israel “for her role in the 1969 bombings of a supermarket and the British Consulate in Jerusalem, which were carried out on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization,” according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Prosecutors said one of the supermarket bombs killed two people and injured others. Odeh received a sentence of life imprisonment but was released after 10 years as part of a prisoner swap.

Odeh used to live in Michigan and resided in Chicago until her bail was revoked Monday. In Chicago she was employed as associate director of the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), which was founded by terrorist promoter Rashid Khalidi and his wife, Mona. Khalidi, a Columbia University professor and former director of the PLO’s press agency, is a well-known friend of Barack Obama. AAAN, which is hostile to Israel, claims “to challenge government policies that violate the civil, political and human rights of the Arab American and Arab immigrant community.”

The seditious collaboration in Ferguson between anti-American left-wingers, some of whom are well-funded, and anti-American Islamofascists isn’t all that unusual in U.S. politics but it receives scant attention from the media.

Leftist and Islamist groups routinely work together in the U.S. Not many on the activist Left are wary of their comrades’ working relationship with Muslim totalitarians who would joyfully slit their atheist, infidel throats upon coming to power. One such leftist, Meredith Tax, acknowledged in a book last year that aligning with Islamic fundamentalists was a terrible idea.

But Tax is a very rare bird. Most leftists see America’s enemies as their natural allies, so when an opportunity for a working partnership arises they seize it with gusto. As they see things, whatever it takes to advance so-called social justice is justified.

As a Sixties radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”

In other words, whatever the cause, whether inner city blacks or illegal aliens or women, it is merely a pretext for action. It is an opportunity to advance the real cause which is the accumulation of the power needed to foment and effectuate revolutionary change.

Rana Baker, a writer at Electronic Intifada, explained the Marxist, identity politics-driven rationale for this cooperation between American leftists and Islamic supremacists in Ferguson. In an article filled with politically correct drivel she wrote:

Unsurprisingly, many of the police deployed to crush unarmed protesters demanding justice for the brutal murder of eighteen-year-old black American Mike Brown are Israel-trained. Despotic tactics Palestinians largely associate with Israel’s colonial military, such as teargassing protesters and harassing journalists, have all been implemented in Ferguson. Although Ferguson and Palestine are two different contexts, both places and their people are fighting against white supremacist regimes of oppression which continue to view them as “disposable others” and act accordingly … it is the moral responsibility of every Palestinian to support and foster relations with the struggles of the oppressed all over the world.

No one who follows the Left should be shocked to learn that Ferguson has been dominated by rent-a-mobs in recent weeks, complete with leftist astroturfers determined to stir the pot.

Groups endorsing Ferguson October, last month’s festival of leftist looting and self-righteous posturing in the beleaguered St. Louis suburb, included a hodgepodge of activist organizations –many of them Saul Alinsky-inspired pressure groups — that have little or nothing to do with Ferguson, Michael Brown, or Darren Wilson. The only thing these labor movement and Occupy Wall Street activists had in common was that they were left-wing.

Among them were: Action for the Common Good; Advancement Project; Alliance for a Just Society; Amnesty International; CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities (Committee Against Anti-Asian Violence); ColorOfChange.org; Catholic Worker; Chinese Progressive Association; Coalition of Black Trade Unionists; Code Pink; Divestment Student Network; Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation; Fighting Against Natural Gas (FANG); Gamaliel Foundation; International Socialist Organization (ISO); Juvenile Urban Multicultural Program (at Syracuse University); Korean American Resource & Cultural Center; LeftRoots; Million Hoodies Movement for Justice; National Domestic Workers Alliance; National Network for Arab American Communities; National Organization for Women (NOW); New Black Panther Party; New Economy Coalition; PICO National Network; Progressive Democrats of America; Sierra Student Coalition (a project of the Sierra Club); St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee; Universal African Peoples Organization; United for Peace and Justice; US Action; US Palestinian Community Network; Veterans for Peace; and Working Families Party.

Many of these groups have taken money from radical billionaire George Soros. Those on his payroll include Advancement Project, Gamaliel Foundation, NOW, and US Action.

Lee Cary has also painstakingly detailed at American Thinker the 45 organizations that are now placing demands on police agencies in the St. Louis area. The groups, which are part of the Don’t Shoot Coalition, are attempting to define the rules of engagement between law enforcement and activists to make it easier for radicals to set Ferguson on fire in the event Wilson is not indicted.

Remnants of the ACORN activist empire are involved in organizing unrest in Ferguson.

Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, is the rebranded Missouri branch of the former Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) which filed for bankruptcy in late 2010. That ACORN state chapter reconstituted itself in December 2009 as MORE under orders from ACORN’s national headquarters. President Obama used to work for ACORN and he represented it in court as a lawyer.

MORE has been active in the protests and in efforts to free jailed demonstrators so they can continue vandalizing businesses, intimidating perceived adversaries, setting fires, throwing projectiles and urine at cops, and engaging in the Left’s usual modes of so-called nonviolent protest. MORE believes that protesters should be given a blank check to inflict whatever harm they wish on the community in pursuit of social justice.

MORE is also a recipient of taxpayer funding — and to no one’s surprise — it is not a good steward of those dollars. MORE received $21,000 for its “foreclosure prevention” efforts but “did not fully comply” with the rules, according to the St. Louis city comptroller’s “fiscal monitoring review” released a few days before Brown was shot.

MORE’s executive director is longtime ACORN organizer Jeff Ordower. Ordower, an outspoken vote fraud apologist, previously ran Missouri ACORN and oversaw ACORN’s Midwest operations. He was also an SEIU organizer in Texas.

The Working Families Party, founded in New York State in the 1990s by ACORN members, is also involved in Ferguson. It endorsed Ferguson October but the extent of its on-the-ground involvement was unclear at time of writing.

All these superficially distinct groups have come together in Ferguson to pay homage to violent criminals –a murderer of Israelis and a would-be murderer of a police officer– for two reasons.

First, because Rasmea Odeh and Michael Brown are model citizens, according to the leftist worldview. Radical activists see them and their disruptive, antisocial behavior as representing the best that humanity has to offer.

Second, because banding together and pooling their power to disrupt society helps to create strife and chaos. The subsequent crises can be leveraged to promote the kinds of change that leftists would like to see.

As the old radical said, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

    All these organizations have one thing in common: opposition to America. The left’s propaganda is based on their own belief that it’s true. This in turn means they must proceed as if Israel is really America, which then means the “palestinians” must be heroes.

    This is subversion on a grand scale, well funded and more than willing to sacrifice everything based upon hate-based lies. The Ferguson situation only makes it obvious how falsely-based the entire ideology is.

    What is their long term goal? Well, I can only guess… but I won’t. I will state that if these people think Brown was innocent and Wilson is a murderer – or that “palestinians” are actually victims and Israel is in the wrong – they are voices that need correcting. Merely ignoring them only allows their tainted ideology to spread.

    • marlene

      Well said. May I add that these braindead hate-filled racists don’t really care if Brown is innocent or not. They want to believe he’s guilty so they can justify their violent hate, which consumes them. They have firmly fixed their boiling hatred on him and nothing, not even an idealogy (which they don’t really have) can change that. They’re not freedom fighters. They’re violent rioters and looters intent on stealing whatever isn’t given to them – for nothing. They are driven by a sense of entitlement, ingratitude, and anger at themselves for their failures which they blame on everybody else. Whites are approved targets, as are officers of the law, which they disrespect as a result of their lack of any decent or moral character traits. They are also cowards who prefer being in large mobs with like-minded demons, rather than being alone where they may cave in to their fears. They are beyond redemption which is why they kill each other. Their black leaders speak and encourage them like muslim imans speak to their flocks and by the way, the way Rev. Wright spoke to obama. We cannot deter the enemy until we understand him. We don’t understand our own fellow Americans and we don’t understand islam – both are too violent for our peace-loving minds to comprehend.

  • marlene

    During obama’s 6 year reign of terror, he has precipitated and supported two of the worst conflagrations in our country: at the border and in Ferguson. Almost every day, one or more members from congress or the DOJ come out to fan the flames of these burning fires of hatred – of America and Americans; of white people and christians; of everything these criminals hate, which is everything!

    Cover the entire area with remote control Cameras and directional long distance, point source microphones (parabolic dish to receiver).
    Clearly publicize, any rioter arrested and convicted will be removed from “SNAP” and government assistance.
    Any person who is not from an approved press corp [with badge and clear identification] or a resident of the immediate Feruson area will be arrested for “inciting to riot”.

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      Expel the rioters to Mexico – Drug Cartels need more “mules”.- laziness will be treated harshly by the Drug Cartels.

        If diversity isn’t forced, why is there affirmative action & racial employment quotas?

        If diversity isn’t forced, why aren’t White people allowed to vote to
        stop mass non-White immigration in EVERY & ONLY White countries?

        If diversity isn’t forced, why is assimilation of non-Whites in EVERY & ONLY White communities forced?

        “Diversity” is a codeword for White geNOcide.

        Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-White.

  • Sheik Yerbouti

    “If the grand jurors refuse to indict Wilson, radical activists are promising even more mayhem”

    Why tolerate such a blatant threat? It should be countered immediately with force instead of the coddling we keep seeing. I have zero doubt that hundreds of rioting white people would go straight to jail. Why? Because they can afford bail.

    • Nadzieja Batki

      It won’t be so because the white can afford bail. Stop talking like the Human Predators that want the go ahead from O to riot.

      • Sheik Yerbouti

        If they come through my door, they’ll stop rioting.

  • dikmeover

    lock the ghetto rats up or shoot to kill these tax payer leeches. I have had enough of these vermin destroying our country and disrupting our peace all because they make stupid mistakes over and over again. They are to lazy to lift themselves out of poverty and rely on the tax payers

    The ‘Ferguson Paradigm Shift’ may be of far greater impact on American life than 9/11. I see it happening right here in my hometown of St. Louis and it is terrible beyond words and yet I don’t quite know what it IS.

    feral, fatherless beasts in ferguson, inbred moslem savages – both groups of monsters are reason enough to have a gun and know how to use it.

  • Scar

    I’m sure that the New Black Panther Party is there as well, but they are trying to be more covert as they foment the violence. It’s laughable that there’s a coalition between the non-Muslim American leftists and the Islamic supremacists. If their common enemies were eliminated, the progressives would find themselves facing an unforeseen (to them) consequence: Convert to Islam or have your respective heads lopped off. Left-wing radicalism often produces strange bedfellows.

    • ebonystone

      Yes, once the Moslems are in control, they will deal with the left in short order. As for the blacks, well, the Arabs can always us more slaves.

  • Nadzieja Batki

    Same variety of Communist/Marxist savages and human predators joining the Communist/Marxists savages and human predators in Ferguson, MO. O won’t say the word to spot them because he is exactly of the same mindset as they are. O wants those riots.

    Great article overall.

  • GinaNJ

    The “Community Organizers” actually put out a wish list for the Ferguson Police Dept, it included a request to allow “rioters” to throw water bottles at Police Officers, with a promise that Officers would not arrest the savages who threw them. How in the world does anyone look at this situation, with anything, but disgust? They want permission to attack armed Police Officers, because they believe they have the right to do that. Doesn’t this tell you that it’s not such a stretch, to believe that Michael Brown attacked an armed Police Officer, by charging at him?

  • steve b

    THE COPS IN FERGUSON SHOULD GET A FEW OF THESE BIKES AND USE THEM ON ANY AND ALL RIOTERS AND LOOTERS -

    Brown, a dead criminal and those who use his death as a point
    of complaint know or should know they are as false as Brown
    and criminal to the core. The police should not give in
    to their illegal behavior and arrest every demonstrator that gets
    out of line, criminal trash like all trash needs to be sent to
    the dump…………..Police, take off the kid gloves…………William

  • 1970greenie

    I do not understand why the mass use of non lethals, such as foam spray that makes it too slippery to stand, paintball guns using paintballs filled with pepper spray or permanent paint, sting balls, etc are not at the ready.

  • truebearing

    They’re all there, in one place at the same time…hmmmm.

  • truebearing

    Ferguson is the template. If they can browbeat the justice system into indicting an innocent man there, they can do it anywhere. It looks like it is time for a massive counter rally in Ferguson.

  • s;vbkr0boc,klos;

    I live in St. Louis. The town has suddenly become a Petri dish of every sort of human terrorist bacteria. And the St. Louis Post Dispatch gives front page prominence to their rants and threats, no matter how incoherent. At least Pravda aimed for a certain tone of ‘plausibility’.

    In Canada Palestinian “activists” are heavily involved in First Nations movements teaching them how to play the victimology system. I fully expect there will be suicide bombers among the First Nations eventually.

    • UCSPanther

      Historically, Palestinian terrorists have mentored Left Wing Terror organizations.

      For example, there is an old video floating around of FLQ terrorists training at a PLO terror training camp…

    Stop all welfare payments and stop reloading food cards in any city where riots erupt. Will put a stop to things.
