DOJ Paid Protesters ...
« on: May 25, 2015, 07:06:32 PM »
I'm under the impression that many of the Black Grievance Industry protestors are paid to do so by the Community Outreach division of the DOJ ... perhaps I'm wrong ... I've got a friend that says he needs to see verification from a reliable source ... I realize many are welfare recipients which is .gov support but does anyone have a link that shows the DOJ supporting the protests in any financial way ?

Thanks in advance for any assistance ... [popcorn]

Paid? Yes. (Or at least promised payment, but many are now claiming they haven't been paid as promised.)

By the DOJ? No. Try George Soros and ACORN.

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.

Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

From OP's second link:

Quote
The white guy they are yelling at here is Jeff Ordower, the founder of MORE. Ordower is long time leftist activist, previously associated with union organizing with the SEIU and with ACORN...

So I looked up Jeff Ordower:

From Huffington Post:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeff-ordower/

Quote
Jeff Ordower is a longtime labor and community organizer. Shortly after moving to New York for college in 1987, he came out of the closet and became active in his school’s LGBT student group, which engaged in a range of creative direct actions and won policy changes. Jeff began his professional organizing career as a graduate of the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute and was a union organizer for SEIU in Texas. After a brief escape to the rainforest to learn Spanish, he began organizing for ACORN, where he was a Head Organizer in Houston, Philadelphia and Connecticut before becoming Midwest Director in 2003. Always interested in intersectional work, Ordower was one of a group of founders of the Chicago based organization Gender Just, which merged queer, class and racial justice.

So I learn something every day.  I never knew "Organizer" was a profession, let alone there was a school for it.

Do "we" have "organizers" and a school for them?

Thanks guys ... I'm familiar w/ the Acorn and Soros connection and the failure to pay has been in the news lately, but I was under the impression that 'starting' w/ Zimmerman the DOJ had been funding busses for travel, rooms for protestors and a stipend for a select few through I believe the 'Community Relations Service' ... perhaps I'm mistaken ... although I believe Acorn runs on tax dollars ... I'm having a tough time linking the DOJ to the protestors though I'm sure I saw verification a while back ...

Thanks for the input ...  :cool:

I remember the same thing Chester I just don't have a link to it right now I'm in the car
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

There was something about it on Judicial Watch, but it was kind of light on facts and long on conjecture.

They should get prevailing wage or Davis-Bacon act wages, whichever is more.

There ought to be a protestor's union.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

There have been several instances of unions paying people to walk the picket line and paying the minimum wage

There was some link between an office of the DOJ and protesters in the Zimmerman protests but I don't remember what it was offhand. Some kind of transaction but maybe not direct payment. Signs, materials, food, transportation maybe?

Same thing with the "community organizers" in Ferguson. According the article, they were just helping them with "travel expenses."

1) Given his history, I suspect a profit motive.

2) It seems a shame when that money could have been applied to organizations actually trying to make things better rather than false-flag activism churn.

He's old, has only a few years left, and has billioNs. Profits don't mean anything to him when his main goal is to destroy western civilization.

I'm actually surprised he wasn't found with a suicude note and a bullet in the back of his head after he brought diwn the British poubd 20 some years ago.
