Occupy 2.0: More Fast Food Strikes In Multiple States

Posted on August 1, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Occupy 2.0 on the move. Another day of coordinated fast food worker protests was held on July 29th in multiple states including Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Wisconsin. Some in Chicago even continued today, August 1st. The strikes focus on raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Looking behind the curtain, we see the AFL-CIO, SEIU and their occupy foot soldiers at work and being given a cushy reception from the mainstream media complex….

Occupy 2.0: NC’s Triangle Jobs For Justice

Posted on June 30, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

We’ve learned that the SEIU is feeding offshoot groups to organize protests of workers in the fast food and retail industries. These groups are cropping up all over the country under a variety of names and include social justice themes, but all have the common goal of raising the minimum wage or talk about a ‘living wage’.

I’ve labeled these groups Occupy 2.0, since those running these groups usually have at least one staffer tied to Occupy and another to unions. Yesterday I pulled North Carolina’s ‘Moral Mondays’ protests and union presence into the mix: Continue reading →

#MoralMondays: Those who want to be arrested attend a ‘meeting’.

Posted on June 9, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Sometimes Twitter is a useful tool. Apparently, those who want to be arrested attend a meeting to coordinate doing so. After, the NAACP and their lawyers take care of them. Meanwhile, the taxpayers take care of the overtime police and court costs.

Two part tweet. Part One:

I’m glad she told me who ‘decides’, but I already found them all. Poor dear also thought their brave Leader Reverend Barber was on the list. I didn’t find evidence of that. Maybe she meant in the earlier non-mega moral Mondays. You know, the ones that weren’t astroturfed by out of state SEIU folks.

Part Two:

Sigh. She needs trolling classes. I had been telling her no one got arrested that didn’t want to be and she refused to address it until this tweet. Thanks!

So then, is this the NAACP and their lawyers baked goods table?

We’re being told the protests are all about making the legislature ‘hear them’. O.k., so it looks like Angela Bryant is listening:

Cue more media attention from MSNBC’s Melissa Harris Perry:

Today on @mhpshow we discussed Moral Mondays: the grassroots NC movement against Republican extremism on.msnbc.com/13sovHp

— Melissa Harris-Perry (@MHarrisPerry) June 9, 2013

She’s sort of the the Natasha Lennard of the Moral Mondays movement but using the Dylan Ratigan approach. These protests are not using any new tricks. We’ve seen the arrest tactics to garner media attention in civil disobedience before, most memorably during Occupy and the Wisconsin capital protests. Hey, speaking of Wisconsin, I spotted this picture on Twitter of Moral Monday inside the NCGA by @AriBerman:

They get a few more union outfits to bus in folks and it might look like Wisconsin:

Let’s hope it doesn’t look like the end result in Wisconsin:

Again, I maintain this is not about any one topic or issue the legislature is dealing with no matter what these people say. This is about the Democrats losing control of the NC General Assembly and the Left having a hissy. This is about the 2014 elections. Period. Continue reading →

NCAE and SEIU in NC

Posted on September 24, 2012 by A.P. Dillon

At Breitbart this headline caught my eye:

NC School District Pushes Union Propaganda in Math Classes

Quick summary of the article — Eighth graders using the virtual classroom were treated to math lessons using Unions as examples:

Screenshot via the Breitbart Article

Color me shocked. Not.

Unionization of state employees is prohibited in NC. That hasn’t stopped the unions from trying. I’ve written before that the SEIU has already infiltrated the SEANC and has been aided by Governor Perdue on quite a few occasions. All one has to do is pay attention to the top banner of the SEANC website.
