Unions & Communism: Proof AFL-CIO/US International Longshoremen’s Association Are Communists

Posted on by

It’s been long-established the special relationship between big labor and communism. It dates back to 1919 with Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky.

I’ve told you many times and shown you evidence in these blog pages of big labor’s cozy relationship and political ally…. the Communist Party USA. We see Soviet propaganda posters turned in to AFL-CIO logo’s. Some may refuse to see the reality, but the reality is, big labor, in particular the AFL-CIO is at the very least fellow travelers of the communist movement.

The Communist Party and its allies played an important role in the United States labor movement, particularly in the 1930s and 1940s…

To further illustrate the communist sympathizing labor unions, let’s look at the US International Longshoremen’s Association, which is part of the AFL-CIO:

At the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s regular press conference last week, spokesperson Liu Weimin’s revealed that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was awarded ”the Best Friend of American Worker” by the US International Longshoremen’s Association. The Chinese ambassador to the United States reportedly received the award on his behalf.

Funny thing, the US International Longshoremen’s Association leadership is trying to keep this hush-hush. It’s not on their website, and of course the fellow travelers of the so-called media took a nap on this and refuse to report it, but… the Chinese media did. In fact, the headline in China Daily reads: Wen given award for US job creation. The article states:

When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked China’s trade practices recently, he probably didn’t expect that the Chinese premier he met in 2003 – when Romney praised trade between the two countries – would later be granted the “Best Friend of American Worker” award.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was given the award on Friday in Boston by the International Longshoremen’s Association in appreciation of China’s strong support of job growth for US workers…

ILA Vice-President William McNamara said that his association was honored to give Wen the award and thanked China for its great contributions in creating more job opportunities for US workers.

Really? Yeah really! That’s your AFL-CIO for you. Oh and it even gets better. This ties in to the still-in-the-closet communist, Barack Obama himself.

On Tuesday, the AFL-CIO, of which the Longshoremen Association is an affiliate, endorsed President Obama for reelection.

Unions plan to spend $400 million in the upcoming campaign season, according to the New York Times.

And some of you actually believe this is the best direction for America and these people best represent your views and values? What the hell is the matter with you?

I’ve been telling you about this for years, been telling you what Obama and big labor is all about. Is it getting through yet?

Big Labor Plans Super Bowl Chaos

Posted on by

On Wednesday, after Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels signed into the Right To Work law, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow squirmed in her chair with excitement as she showed the Super Bowl Village being invaded by Big Labor activists.

Rather than seeing the Super Bowl as a big event for Indiana, Maddow’s guest, Indiana State Rep. Scott Pelath, sees it as a “national platform” for Big Labor “education” through disruption.

Indiana AFL-CIO union boss Nancy Guyott pulls no punches describing the chaos she intends to create; she has declared war on Super Bowl [...]

Why Are U.S. Taxpayers Subsidizing a Paris-Based Bureaucracy to Help the AFL-CIO Push Obama’s Class-Warfare Agenda?

Posted on by

To be blunt, I’m not a big fan of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. But my animosity isn’t because OECD bureaucrats threatened to have me arrested and thrown in a Mexican jail.
Instead, I don’t like the Paris-based bureaucracy because it pushes a statist agenda of bigger government. This Center for Freedom and Prosperity study has all the gory details, revealing that OECD bureaucrats endorsed Obamacare, supported the failed stimulus, and are big advocates of a value-added tax for America.
And I am very upset that the OECD gets a giant $100 million-plus subsidy every year from American taxpayers. For all intents and purposes, we’re paying for a bunch of left-wing bureaucrats so they can recommend that the United States adopt that policies that have caused so much misery in Europe. And to add insult to injury, these socialist pencil pushers receive tax-free salaries.
And now, just when you thought things couldn’t get worse, the OECD has opened a new front in its battle against America. The bureaucrats from Paris have climbed into bed with the hard left at the AFL-CIO and are pushing a class-warfare agenda. Next Wednesday, the two organizations will be at the union’s headquarters for a panel on “Divided We Stand – Tackling Growing Inequality Now.”

The Communist Revolution, Unions, #OWS & ‘The Power of the 99% in 2012′…

Posted on by

Not that this should be surprising since Marxists have been behind and involved with in the #OccupyWallSt movement since Day One when the September protests began, but the Neo-Coms in the unionized #OWS movement are now getting more formal advice from their philosophical mentors, the Communist Party USA.

Meet The Anarchist Leaders Behind The ‘Leaderless’ #Occupy Movement – Part One: Lisa Fithian

Posted on by

The #OccupyWallStreet movement that been embraced by Democratic politicians, liberal pundits, progressive groups, Big Labor and celebrities was actually created and is being led behind the scenes by far-left anarchists whose goal isn’t reform, but the total annihilation of the American economic and political system.
“Occupy Everything” is the culmination of a decades-long effort by militant radicals to create and fund a mass movement that has broad popular appeal. With the enthusiastic help of the institutional left, that effort finally seems to be working.
Case in point: Lisa Fithian. Fithian is a career “community organizer” and anarchist who specializes in “direct action” protests, and who has close ties to labor unions. She has been on the ground at the #OccupyWallStreet demonstration since its inception.
Local television station NY1 interviewed her as an ordinary “woman on the street,” presenting her as just another well-intentioned New Yorker who’s worried about the big, mean banks.
NY1 did not mention that Fithian lives in Austin, Texas, and failed to inform its audience about Fithian’s true motivations or her lengthy activist resume.

#OccupyWallSt’s Neo-Communist System of ‘Collaboratism’ Revealed

Posted on by

Over the last three weeks, as the world has watched the spectacle of the Zuccotti Park protesters in lower Manhattan, some have been inspired and, in many cases, repulsed at the protesters occupying the park. Since the protests have now garnered the backing from the professional protesters from the AFL-CIO’s 56 unions and the SEIU, as well as implicit and explicit support from the Obama Administration and Democrats, there is more relevance to examining not just what the protesters are protesting but what they are promoting.
Meet “the Collaborators” [aka Baklava [sic] Boy and his friend. It was a chance encounter (the taking of this picture and the subsequent conversation) on Day One of #OccupyWallSt that gave some insight into the minds of the Neo-Communists protesting across the country.

AFL-CIO defends union violence as a legitimate union activity

Posted on by

All the more reason why the next president must crush every, single labor union in this country, no exceptions. If they want war, let’s give them war.

A little over a month ago, in a case that drew national attention, a man was targeted at his home, shot and injured, all because he dared to run union free business. Now, in Buffalo, New York, a case involving outrageous allegations of labor-racketeering and union violence aimed at non-union construction workers and company owners is proceeding through the judicial process. Its outcome, however, may have wide-ranging ramifications on a national level.

Forget for a moment that a man was stabbed in the throat, hot coffee thrown on non-union workers, sand put into gas tanks and a woman threatened with sexual assault. Forget the fact that the judge presiding over the federal racketeering case against Operating Engineers, Local 22, in Buffalo, NY ultimately rejected the AFL-CIO’s attempt to file a amicus brief, the sheer fact that the national AFL-CIO even attempted to intervene speaks volumes:

“We’re not condoning the allegations or arguing that union officials are completely immune from prosecution,” said Jonathan D. Newman, a lawyer for the AFL-CIO. “Instead, we simply want to make sure that the [federal law] is not interpreted in a way that could have a chilling effect on legitimate union activity.”

Like I said, time to elect union busters to congress, the senate and the White House. Big labor needs to be crushed.

IF YOU MISSED IT: AFL-CIO Boss & Communist Party affiliated “Fat Dick” Trumka’s despicable 9/11 message

Posted on by

“Fat Dick” is the poster child for a big, smelly, running piece of excrement wrapped in skin, pretending to be a human being.

The communist sympathizing fellow traveler, gangster leader and full-blown socialist has outdone himself. He is a despicable excuse of a life form that needs to be pushed off the end of the oredock with a block of concrete chained to his neck. This is just vile:

Just 10 years after 9/11, despite our vows, the public servants, construction workers and others who lost their lives or still suffer with the cancerous remnants of the Twin Towers haven’t just been forgotten. They’ve been vilified. The extremist small government posse has turned them into public enemy No. 1, as though teachers and firefighters, EMTs and nurses and union construction workers ruined America’s economy…

Wealthy CEOs, anti-government extremist front groups and frothing talk show hosts—from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks to the Koch brothers, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the American Legislative Exchange Council—also pushed open the door to hate…

We’ve seen the costs of hatred in ill-thought wars, in shameful attacks on immigrants and our LGBT neighbors. We saw it in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. We saw it in the racism that has found overt and covert expression since Barack Obama began his run for office—from outright declarations of people who said out loud they would never vote for a black man to the ridiculously persistent obsession with our president’s birth certificate. Regardless of his policies or priorities, President Obama is shadowed by the drumbeat of suspicion based on his “other”-ness. And those suspicions are fed and watered constantly by forces that were threatened by his message of “hope and change.”…

[Compassion is] what sent 347 firefighters to their death at the Twin Towers 10 years ago. It’s also what sent firefighters to stand with teachers in Wisconsin even though Gov. Scott Walker had exempted them from his attack on public employees. It’s what moves employed people now to demand good jobs for the 26 million Americans who are looking for work. It’s what gives us the courage to take on a crumbling economy and the politicians preaching austerity and ignoring our jobs crisis—to take them on and say, “We are America. We are better than this. And we are one.”

AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka. A hate-filled troll that used the 9/11 anniversary event to spread lies and hatred. How sick is that? Everybody Trumka hates, he blasted in the 10th anniversary 9/11 event. Can you get any lower? Him calling everybody else haters, why that’s a little like calling the kettle black, wouldn’t you say? Look at his speech. It’s pure hatred.

Look at that… 9/11 is a day to commit to activism? That’s what the anniversary of 9/11 means to this guy? I wonder if he even knows what happened on that day 10 years ago. He’s a taker and a user. He’s using 9/11, he doesn’t care about the damage. In his mind, rebuilding will mean more union dues collected. He doesn’t care about the survivors, the rescue personal, or family’s that lost loved ones, not a goddam word in this asshole’s message about that. Just spread the hate. That’s his message. Well okay. I’ll spread a little myself. I hope somebody puts a bullet in that fat f- -k’s head. How’s that? Oh yeah, I do sincerely mean that.

UPDATE: Big Labour Reverses Course & Allows Republicans at Wausau Parade

Posted on by

What a hack this Randy Radtke is. The guy just hates anyone that isn’t a progressive, that much is painfully clear as he includes U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy on his villains list. Since Duffy is a federal representative and not a state representative he really had nothing to do with big labour’s beef with Scott Walker and the rest of the GOP members. It just proves what I’ve been saying about those unintelligent union leaders… not too high up on the I.Q. scale.

Since this has been resolved does that mean I take down the post with Marathon Labour Council President Randy Radtke’s personal information like where he lives, his phone numbers, the name of his wife, email address and so forth? No. No, I don’t think so. Not the way big labour has been acting as of late, beating people up, 500 people breaching the property of a business CEO terrifying a young 14 year-old boy who locked himself in the basement. No, turnabout is fair play.

Sometimes payback can be a real bitch. Maybe this will be one of those, “sometimes.” That post will not come down.

WAUSAU (PRESS RELEASE)–Labor Day is meant to celebrate the accomplishments of labor for the citizens of our country: things like better workplace safety, some retirement security through Social Security, higher pay, and some time off so workers can spend it with their families. These things have raised workplace conditions at union and non-union companies alike, and collective bargaining helps keep them strong.

We didn’t start this fight in Wisconsin, but were responding to anti-worker positions and policies supported by local Republican politicians, including those who have complained about not being invited. With the track records that Pam Galloway, Sean Duffy, Scott Walker, and Jerry Petrowski have all put together this year, they should be ashamed to even show their faces at a Labor Day parade.

Just like we’d hoped, our decision has stimulated a great debate in our community about the meaning of Labor Day. But because we don’t want to wind up having community groups and school bands affected in the process, we will let everyone march and hope these Republican politicians finally take away some lessons about what Labor Day really means. We know their actions and voting records speak more loudly than waving at any parade.

We have had countless offers from across our area pour in to help pay for parade costs. While we thank everyone for your generosity, we urge you instead to use it to support charities that are helping working class people who may be laid off or struggling due to the difficult economy.

The phony unions and the hijacking of MLK on April 4th

Posted on by

An article in Big Government inspired me to write my take on the phony unions propagandizing the April 4th union rallies, and Martin Luther King as some kind of pro-labor movement icon. Unions and civil rights? Oh please! Apparently, those of you sympathetic to that idea haven’t been doing your homework.

Unions, in particular the AFL-CIO are racist. Yeah, yeah, I know. That’s a tired and worn out accusation that nobody pays attention to anymore (thanks to the left), but it’s true, and I have the proof to back it up.

Is everyone familiar with the Davis-Bacon Act of 1934? Oh, sorry. You went to U.S. Dept of Education public school, I forgot. Well, they aren’t going to be teaching the kids about this in public school. Why, you may ask. It’s a union thing, so sit down anna shuddup a you face.

Briefly, from UnionFacts.com:

The Davis-Bacon Act was passed by Congress in 1934 with the strong support of labor unions. The Act requires construction firms contracting for the federal government to pay their workers “locally prevailing wages,” and it was passed by lawmakers with the explicit intention of keeping low-skilled African-American workers out of federal construction projects. American Federation of Labor (the “AFL” of today’s AFL-CIO) president William Green testified that “colored labor is being sought to demoralize wage rates.”

But that was the 1930′s, before civil rights! Hold on while I find you a Valium to get your knee-jerk syndrome under control…

Fast forward 65 years:

In 1999, Harry Alford, president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce testified before Congress on the “racist roots” of the Davis-Bacon Act.

35 years after the civil rights act and only a dozen years ago and it’s still not over yet.

The Center for Union Facts has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act demonstrating distressing abuse of equal-opportunity rights by labor leaders.

Since 2000, labor unions faced 13,815 complaints of discrimination filed with the government’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. These include:

4,248 complaints of race discrimination
3,386 complaints of age discrimination
1,820 complaints of sex discrimination
1,642 complaints of disability discrimination
297 complaints of religious discrimination

And big labor is hijacking Martin Luther King’s dream. Huh! I’ll be darned.

The AFL-CIO still fights to preserve the Davis-Bacon Act.

You know the AFL-CIO. The communists. They’re the one’s that incorporated Soviet communist propaganda as their logo. The closed fist. It’s a communist symbol and has been for 90 years. And their leader, Richard Trumka. He’s a communist. No, that’s not an opinion nor is it name-calling. It’s a fact. He is what he is. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

As you can plainly see, the AFL-CIO is still fighting to preserve racism via Davis-Bacon. They are what they are. Remember, the truth holds no agenda. I’m just passing the truth on.
