A former official of one of the country's most-powerful unions, SEIU, has a secret plan to "destabilize" the country.
The plan is designed to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street's grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government.
The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend.
The Blaze procured what appears to be a tape of Lerner's remarks. Many Americans will undoubtely sympathize with and support them. Still, the "destabilization" plan is startling in its specificity, especially coming so close on the heels of the financial crisis.
Lerner said that unions and community organizations are, for all intents and purposes, dead. The only way to achieve their goals, therefore--the redistribution of wealth and the return of "$17 trillion" stolen from the middle class by Wall Street--is to "destabilize the country."
Lerner's plan is to organize a mass, coordinated "strike" on mortgage, student loan, and local government debt payments--thus bringing the banks to the edge of insolvency and forcing them to renegotiate the terms of the loans. This destabilization and turmoil, Lerner hopes, will also crash the stock market, isolating the banking class and allowing for a transfer of power.

On the surface, it sounds like Beck conspiracy alarmism but this guy Lerner seems to mean business.
This makes me all the more interested in how close to the 2008 election the financial crisis was. Especially if you recall that the Pentagon felt it had reason to believe the financial markets were manipulated at that point in 2008.
Bet the little terd has a net worth of over a million himself—taken through the “union,” which means it has been extorted from government or producers.
I’m a little surprisedd that this article hasn’t been posted already
I believe that I read something on FR about this last week. I do not recall title, but I do believe was from different source than above.
With more people getting news from interweb I am surprised it is not getting traction.
Especially since most retirement funds are tied to the stock market one way or another
That being the case, the best thing we can do is email the article to everyone we know.
It has been posted. Beck did his entire Tuesday show on this, with video. Business Insider and The Blaze both had videos and transcripts Tuesday.
Astonishing story. And nobody seems to care.
People care but are laying low due to current political situation. Many I know do not post on boards, but we speak with each other and pass articles of interest.
Neal Boortz was discussing this too. Amazing.
The FR search engine turned up nothing.
This POS is wrong on so many counts.
First off, he’s talking to a fringe of a fringe. Half a million people? He’ll be lucky to get 10% of that to join him. As my drill instructor said many times: “There’s always 10% who don’t get the word.”
Second, disrupting the economy and the government to the extent he dreams of will, not only cause distress to the majority of Americans he purports to care for, but the people who can this will surely be incarcerated.
Finally, a transition to a Communist government? Yeah, that’ll really go over big. Not to mention, that a “revolution” such as this will eventually lead to violence. Lerner forgets that we the people are armed (and according to Big Sis Napolitano, dangerous).
There is so much more, but others may have other comments.
After comment I used SEIU, for keyword, then match any word. Multiple articles.
I have been dealing with search engines for years, just how you manipulate them that matters.
I deal with one search engine that makes me scream every day, amuses my co-workers no end. Keywords do not work.
Co-workers know if I use inappropriate words, to avoid me until I am back to appropriate words.
I must attend inappropriate words seminar in future:)
Nobody much expected what happened in Madison and look at what happened.
The unions are in their death throes in terms of membership. They will be doing things that are more and more radical while Hussein is in the WH because they know that Justice will do absolutely nothing against them.
BTW, “communism” used to be an obscenity in this country but the younger generation takes a different view. The Cold War is starting to fade in the people’s memory.
I don’t expect Lerner to get much of what he wants to do but a serious market disruption is a distinct possibility.
And how many banks have JJ and ACORN succeeded in shaking down? A loud cadre of nasty militants can intimidate many business and Wall Street types.
I found it interesting that Morgan is the target and not Goldman Sachs. GS is sooo tight with the regime. They have probably innoculated themselves against this SEIU crap.
It has....here somewhere. Needs to be posted a few times anyway.
Not sure if the lazy ass SEIU sorts have the ability to do such due their fiscal personal status.
Gonna go get that old movie...the Star Chamber an watch it.
The goal would be that we will roll out of New York the first week of May. We will connect three ideas
that we are not broke there is plenty of money
So that's where Michael Moore got his talking points.
They all sing out of the same hymnbook. And no doubt yack together on the phone, Twitter, etc.
If it wasn’t for each other, who would those freaks have to talk to?
“This POS is wrong on so many counts.”
Wouldn’t this be treason? Sedition?
I don’t think the thing is anything to worry about...still...

Last week, in Orlando, Fla., approximately 60 union protestors stormed and ransacked the local Bush-Cheney headquarters causing considerable damage and injuring one campaign staffer, who suffered a broken wrist.
According to an Orlando Police Department report, a field director for the Republican Party, was at the headquarters about 1 p.m. last Tuesday when 60 protestors barged in..... a 53-year old protestor, forced the door open and caused the arm to be caught in it. the worker’s left wrist was fractured in the altercation. Police say the protestor will be charged with two counts of battery.’

“...Still...” indeed.
These union freaks are acting like the Last Days of Satan. They are throwing caution to the wind and at this point I am expecting anything and everything from them.
ping - need to read later..
M. Moore, Hilary, Trump and the CEO of IBM will demand that their wealth be distributed first. sarc
