In a development that may portend extended disruptions, veteran street organizer Lisa Fithian, previously dubbed Professor Occupy, recently trained Ferguson protesters how to simulate chaos.
Fithian is a legendary organizer who once announced she seeks to create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.
She was one of the luminaries of the Occupy Wall Street movement and was a lead organizer in the infamous 1999 Seattle riots against the World Trade Organization that descended into violence.
The 1999 WTO event in Seattle devolved into widespread rioting in which more than 40,000 protesters, some using violent tactics, descended on the city, prompting police to use tear gas and rubber bullets. The clash became known as The Battle of Seattle.
According to Discover the Networks, Fithian specializes in aggressive direct action tactics.
Prior to the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown shooting case, Fithian was interviewed Nov. 14 on NPR.....

Lisa Fithian needs to be sued for the cost her mayhem has caused. If I were someone like the Ferguson Auto Zone that was torched, she would be in my sights.
I will offer 50 cents to anybody who publishes this things home address. Perhaps Westboro Baptist Church would like to know her sexual proclivities?
> It will soon be time to RICO them...
Not with this administration.
Well I will lay bets that Lisa Fithian isn’t married (at least to a male) with a mug like hers...
Say hello to her here. Make sure to tell her that you love her...: )

Well well. I hadn’t heard her name in awhile but not surprised. Anytime there’s trouble, these types follow and instigate.
Of course. “Occupy” and street rioting are the same thing. Leftist movements aiming to tear down this country.
Well, she is hot... you have to give her that. /SARCASM
RICO charges might be in order.
“Well, she is hot... you have to give her that. /SARCASM”
Not even Laz would touch it.
It is time for some quiet infiltration of these leftist institutions. I am changing my voter registration just for that purpose. I am interesting in the ubiquitous alternative tabliod newpapers that are in every city. How they keep going giving away newspapers when the legacy media is going doewn the tubes? Why are they all so similar. There has to be somone centrally organizing and subsidizing this. I will be retiring soon, and it might be a fun retirement project.
Interesting link in an interesting thread. Awareness of new names and new faces. Face-crook’s puppet masters. Connecting the dots in the marxist matrix.
“Why is this woman not in prison?”
Why is this woman not locking up the Democrat nomination for President?
The world would be better off without certain people. This one is a prime example.

If you feel like the police needs to know when to get ready, dont you think the community needs to know when to get ready, said Michael McPhearson, Dont Shoot Coalition co-chair and executive director of Veterans For Peace.
He was one of the teachers who stood in the middle of a learning circle with a diameter that spread across the entire gymnasium of the Greater St. Mark Church early Saturday afternoon.
More than 150 protesters came to ready themselves for what they are already expecting to be a non-indictment against Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of unarmed teen Michael Brown on August 9 and the unrest they are certain to ensue.
For the second day in a row, demonstrators have gathered for insight on how to maintain peace and calm with emotions on high guided by The Dont Shoot Coalition and other organizations as an extension of Ferguson October.
I urge as many white people as possible to go to jail, said protester and organizer Lisa Fithian. Its really important for you in here to see what it feels like to lose your privilege.
Thats right and uhh huh echoed across the gym as Fithian delivered cold hard facts about how she feels the atmosphere will change when demonstrators return to the street following the grand jurys announcement.
There are going to be white people in the community who come out armed that dont support our cause, Fithian said. If you are a white person and you see a bunch of white people coming, then you need to meet them at the front of the line.
Applause came from black and white attendees. As was the undivided attention that was given to Fithian and McPhearson, the resolve and resilience among the group was striking.
Fithian reinforced the importance of them working as a team to get in the mindset to keep their wits and a peaceful mindset in the worst case scenario.
We have to make a choice to take a risk, Fithian said. If were prepared and organized, there is nothing they can do to stop us.
And even as she mentioned the potential for arrest and bodily harm by opposing forces the group seemed up for the challenge of creating a narrative of peaceful demonstration in the wake of a non-indictment.
The key to all of this is that we have to be organized and prepared if we are not organized and prepared we will suffer defeat and be divided.

Occupy Chicago Direct action training con Lisa Fithian1
To say that Lisa Fithian is just a paid-professional protester would be to undersell her radical accomplishments. True, shes received compensation from the SEIU and the SEIUs labor federation Change to Win as a consultant. However, her war on the free market goes well beyond that. Last year, Fithian helped the UAW shut down Bank of America branches and, now, is helping the #OccupyWallSt protesters wage their occupations all across America.

BREAKING: Meet The Rich White Guy Who Is Running the Black Boycott of Capitalism #Ferguson
Theres a white, rich dude running the black boycott capitalism movement known as United Blackout.
His name is Michael Latt and he is the marketing director of United Blackout.
Control how Black money is spent and you win the game, says United Blackouts campaign video. And Latt seeks to deliver.
She and Calipso Loui (?) are cut from the same clothe and should be sent to a country they believe in, not here.
I read, some years ago, during the 1999 Seattle riots, a fellow named George Soros and his “buddies” fanned the flame of destruction/rioting with their dollars and training. I also read some of the rioters are imported from other countries.
Fithian is a legendary organizer who once announced she seeks to create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.
When you have no faith in your argument you need crisis to blind.
