Pure Kabuki: Some Ferguson Protestors Were Paid To Do So By Liberal Organize Missouri

The riots in Ferguson were pure kabuki for the network cameras, employing tactics as old as the days of LBJ.
“Remember the protests (and riots) in Ferguson last summer? It looks like at least some of the protestors were told they would be paid to show up and now they’re upset the checks haven’t arrived yet,” Katie Pavlich writes at Townhall. “Weaselzippers has the full story and the screen shots showing “protestors” using the Twitter hashtag #cutthecheck in response to non-payment. Based on tweets, Organize Missouri is responsible for issuing payments:”
On May 14, protesters, upset with not being paid their promised checks for protesting, protested outside MORE, Missourians Organizing For Reform and Empowerment, an ACORN organization which had received funding through George Soros to fund the protests.
To understand how we got here, it’s worth flashing back a few decades. In 1970, Tom Wolfes publishers packaged his classic lengthy New York magazine Radical Chic article, on Leonard Bernstein allowing the Black Panthers to fundraise in his opulent Park Ave. duplex, as a double-feature with his lesser-known article Mau-Mauing The Flak Catchers, which captured seething leftist protests on the other end of the wealth spectrum in San Francisco. While it lacks the star power of Radical Chic, Mau-Mauing offers several key insights into what made the Great Society years and their aftermath hell for millions of Americans, and possibly the first appearance in print of the phrase community organizing, our current presidents erstwhile former occupation:
It was a truly adventurous and experimental approach [Johnson-era bureaucrats] had. Instead of handing out alms, which never seemed to change anything, they would encourage the people in the ghettos to organize.

So, I guess this means DHS will put Organize Missouri on a terrorist watch list.

Jeff Ordower contributes to the Huffington Huff & Puff.
Jeff Ordower is a longtime labor and community organizer. Shortly after moving to New York for college in 1987, he came out of the closet and became active in his schools LGBT student group, which engaged in a range of creative direct actions and won policy changes.
Jeff began his professional organizing career as a graduate of the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute and was a union organizer for SEIU in Texas.
After a brief escape to the rainforest to learn Spanish, he began organizing for ACORN, where he was a Head Organizer in Houston, Philadelphia and Connecticut before becoming Midwest Director in 2003. Always interested in intersectional work, Ordower was one of a group of founders of the Chicago based organization Gender Just, which merged queer, class and racial justice.
When ACORN was destroyed in 2009, he stayed in his hometown of St. Louis to help found Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), which works on climate and economic justice work. Ordower has also worked nationally on anti-Wall Street fights with Occupy Homes and the Home Defenders League, and is a member of the National Collective of Rising Tide North America, which engages in non-violent direct action, targeting the root cause of climate change, especially global finance capital.
Currently, in addition to working with MORE, Ordower is welcoming co-conspirators in attempts to scale up numbers of radical organizers who can financially support themselves in the work.

Everyone knows this, but the MSM refused to report on it it. On the other hand, and conservative protesters gets his motivations analyzed all day long.

RE: I am not familiar with the term Pure Kubkli. What does it mean?
Kabuki is popular drama of Japan, developed chiefly in the 17th century, characterized by elaborate costuming, rhythmic dialogue, stylized acting, music, and dancing, and the performance of both male and female roles by male actors.
Hence, to call something Kabuki is to call it a Performance, a Show, or POSTURING.

Kabuki is a traditional form of traditional Japanese theater. It’s very stylized. The term means, actions meant to appear to be meaningful and significant but which in reality are just a show for some predefined audience.
To: sport
The term is a reference to a type of Japanese theater, see the link below. When used in this context, the writer means that we are watching theater - lots of running around but, ultimately, nothing results.

Jeff Ordower is a longtime labor and community organizer. I seem to recall that there is another phony who was previously a community organizer.

Sorry,I did not initially see your response Thank you also.
But unlike the Japanese theatre, a lot is happening in the USA. We are witnessing a Communist or a National Socialists coupe unfold. with the cooperation of the public. You can believe that or not.

Paying someone to riot should be a crime.
How to check? Ask the arrested rioters.. and offer to split a portion of any sentence with his paymaster if he tells.
