Well, personally, I think they should just go right ahead with their little plot. They will be hammered so far down into the ground, so quickly, that their pointy little heads will emerge in China.
Ungovernability=martial law. In very liberal, progressive NYC. Shut the city down. Shut Wall Street down. Perhaps all trading will become virtual. Jobs will vanish. Not just brokerage and banking jobs, but taxis, restaurants, shops, personal services. The very folks they target can retreat to their homes or second homes elsewhere. Or perhaps they will leave the country, taking all their capital with them. They have 5 weeks to prepare, after all. Everyone will know whom to blame: the unions and the progressives. I am also amused that they seem to believe that all brokers, bankers and CEOs are Republicans when the truth is there are plenty of Democrats with power and wealth. Way to unite both parties, folks.
I wonder if the state officials in NJ and CT will allow the thugs to harass individuals in their states, if they choose to confront people on their front lawns, as they have already? Will they shut down the entire NE USA? Do the unions want to bet how far they can go before their progressive government leaders condemn them for being extreme, as they rush to save their own jobs?
Perhaps these geniuses can take their fight to the Internet and hack and execute Denial of Service attacks on their bankster and corporate targets. That could get them terrorism charges under the Patriot Act as enforced by their own administration.
These idiots always think no one will oppose them. They believe everyone is so worried about making more money that they will cave to extortion and never fight back. They believe that the need for more money will insure that the producers keep working while handing ransom over to the thugs. They do not understand that money means you can survive a siege, while the union funds will be quickly depleted as people lose jobs due to the closing of businesses. People without jobs do not pay union dues. Their votes are worthless to the politicians if there is no booty to be had from the wealthy corporations. Let’s guess whom the politicians will choose to support.
Go for it.
I can’t think of a better way to polarize progressives and knee-jerk liberal Democrat voters and politicians while giving them cover for common cause with RINOs and conservatives, alike, than to attack them on their home turf.
You make a lot of good points. Glad you’re “reformed”, btw. :)
Isn’t it amazing how these pointy-headed elites act as if they’re just one of the “folks”? They themselves are wealthy. Lerner and his ilk. Andy Stern.
When they attack the stock market, they’re attacking the pension funds of their own members. The 401k’s of the middle class. Of course, that’s their plan—to create two castes. The ruling elite (themselves) and everybody else, who will universally be poor and dependent upon the ruling elite for crumbs.
With the new UN criterion, if a government attacks its own citizens the UN will respond on the side of the attacked, does that mean that if Bloomberg sets the police on any SEIU rioters in NYC, then the UN will call in NATO strikes on City Hall?
Governments can no longer defend themselves against treason, sedition or violent overthrow. The UN will stand with the “rebels”.
