Occupy Oakland Preparing to Intimidate Israeli President Shimon Peres at San Francisco Temple

Breitbart reporters monitoring the Occupy Oakland movement have learned that the movement–arguably the most violent in the country will try to intimidate Israeli President Shimon Peres in San Francisco when he speaks Monday to a crown at Temple Emanu-El.

Peres is scheduled to give a talk titled, “Israel and the Jewish People: A Vision of Tomorrow.” The Occupy Oakland movement has reported on their site that they “we want to show Peres what our vision of tomorrow would look like by warmly greeting him with a mass protest against apartheid outside of the temple.”

Anonymous Takes Out the FTC in Protest Over ACTA, Google Privacy

The hacker collective Anonymous has struck government websites again, this time the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the National Consumer Protection Week websites.  According to the Associated Press, “both sites were replaced with a violent German-language video satirizing the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA.” A pastebin page to which some of the Anonymous associated Twitter accounts are linking outlines the message that was distributed by the hackers, as well as a link to the violent video mentioned in the AP article.

The hackings were in response both to Google’s recent changes to its terms of

#Occupy Oakland Damages, Taunts Shopkeepers; 1%-er Michael Moore Cheered by Radicals Returning to Camp

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The owner of Sankofa African Arts and Jewelry said that on the two mornings since protesters returned, her front doorway has reeked of urine.
She said her business has declined by 80 percent since Occupy Oakland began.
“I really, really want them to leave,” said the owner, who gave only her first name, Ellen. She has owned her business for 17 years. “What they are doing is making business worse.”
A camp supporter overheard her lament and shouted: “You would have lost your business anyway with the way the economy is going.”
Ellen burst into tears.
Moji Ghafouri said business has gone down 25 percent at her Caffe Teatro. Protesters also smashed one of her windows.
“I’m a small business,” she said. “If you’re against corporations or big business, I’m not them.”
Ghafouri said part of the problem is City Hall’s doublespeak – like banning people from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and then letting people camp overnight anyway.
“If they’re not going to enforce it, don’t say it,” she said.
Meanwhile, one 1%-er is ecstatic:

Occupy Oakland protesters throw paint at police & chant, “This is why we call you pigs”

This is the 1960′s and early 70′s all over again, isn’t it? Even the verbage is the same. “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.” Somebody is going to get killed in these Marxist protests. If it’s a communist protester, I personally don’t care and wouldn’t lose any sleep over it, but I fear it will be an innocent or a cop, and that I do care about. And when (if) that happens… look out, it will escalate in to something we’ve never seen before.

A crowd of roughly 400 Occupy Oakland protesters clashed with police Tuesday evening while trying to reclaim a campsite that they had been ousted from earlier in the day. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the crowd marched from the public library toward Frank Ogawa Plaza at about 5 p.m., vowing to confront police.

At one point, protesters threw paint at riot police officers’ faces and helmets while chanting, “This is why we call you pigs.” Read the rest

Their plan is to clog up the courts with mass arrests which puts a lot of pressure to run them through the system with virtually no punishment, and it must be done quickly according to our constitution.

There is an alternative. Charge them under existing terrorism laws via The Patriot Act, ship them to Gitmo, and they can be held indefinitely. The courts can then get to them when they get to them. With the threat of Gitmo looming, how much would you like to bet this Occupy Movement dies off very quickly? If I had any say so, that’s what I’d do.
