Wade Rathke’s Startling Admission: ‘Economic Terrorism’ Engineer Stephen Lerner Is Still on SEIU
The Blaze ^ | 3/28/11 | Scott Baker

Posted on 03/28/2011 11:39:55 AM PDT by Nachum

On Sunday morning, The Blaze posted a story about the “return” of ACORN on the world-wide scene. While reading through some of the background material on that story, I noticed something significant.

ACORN founder Wade Rathke has been busy mocking the story that broke on The Blaze earlier this week about a multi-front plot to target JP Morgan Chase in an attempt to crash the stock market. We’ll look at his criticisms in a second. No need to bury the lede here. Rathke seems to answer the question we’ve been asking all week — does bank plotter Stephen Lerner still work for SEIU? Rathke says Lerner is still very much on the SEIU payroll:

Lerner has not been “fired” by SEIU as they report. He was placed on paid leave last fall to think through his contribution to the union, but was certainly present at the recent international executive board meeting.

This is important for several reasons — not the least of which is that this ties the plot to destroy the American economy much more closely within the ranks of the organization that time and time again President Obama has declared to be most important to him strategically and politically.

Great. I have my 401K with JP Morgan.

The SEIU is, then, and officially, a Domestic Terrorist Organization.

As much as it pains me to say it, I wouldn't mind seeing this bunch get the Waco Treatment.

I don’t know why this thread is not on fire.

I’m wondering how many times Lerner’s name shows up on the WH visitors logs.

Found a story saying the name Stephen Lerner appears 4 times on White House visitors logs...

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/rush-on-lerners-economic-plot-what-if-its-already-been-tried/

Rush on Lerner’s Economic Plot: What if it’s Already Been Tried?

Could it be that Stephen Lerner’s plot to collapse the American Economy has already been tried?

That’s the question Rush Limbaugh spent time today wondering, his second day talking about the The Blaze’s story about the former (maybe) SEIU official’s plan to stage massive mortgage and student-loan defaults.

(Listen to Rush’s previous thoughts on our story.)
(Listen to the original audio.)

In response to a caller who asked if the scheme was plausible, Rush wondered if the 2008 financial crisis was an example of Lerner’s plan already in practice.

“Has it been tried, maybe, on a much more sophisticated level?” Rush asked rhetorically, pointing to government involvement in the housing crisis. He then went on to invoke a familiar name.

“You need to ask George Soros. If there’s a guy who would love to see this happen, it’s George Soros.”

In the end, Rush said, it’s not the far left “kooks” like Lerner that worry him, but rather the idea that people like Lerner could be “inside the White House trying to pull something like this.” As The Blaze has noted, White House visitor records show a Stephen Lerner has visited four times in the past two years.

Listen to Rush’s take below courtesy of Daily Rushbo:

I guess Jamie Diamond isn’t Obama’s favorite Banker anymore. I bet they leave Wells Fargo alone ( Buffett’s bank).

Laz, we’re not even suprised about this info. Corruption, deceit and plain evil is shredding USA faster than we can realize it. Many years of Godlessness and several score hundred of billion dollars of wealth transferred to our enemies, foreign and domestic. This funded writting the anti-USA script at school and in the news for the past decades. Now here we are.

Laz, this country elected the gang in DC that could’t care less what the USConstitution or the USA people say. That should say a lot.

In my opinion that's what the 2008 "economic crisis" was all about; an attempt to derail the US economy. Another attempt is being staged in London as I write. The Leftist communist "anarchists" are displaying their hatred and contempt of private business, private property and individual economic liberty in the streets of London by vandalizing stores, banks and shops. I fully expect SEIU and the other communist front unions to start the same kind of trouble here in America.

Thanks for the links, Nachum. I missed them. Shoulda kept closer tabs on The Blaze, figuring they weren’t through digging. duh!

It’s not a surprise to find out Lerner did visit the WH. I’d have been surprised if he hadn’t; Obama’s such big buddies with that whole SEIU bunch.

This whole mess - - now and back in ‘08 - - has the stench of Obama and his puppet master all over it.

Obamarx isn't smart enough to pull this big a plan off BUT his puppet master, Soros, is. Obama is a perfect little puppet, gathering all his commie buddies together.

And Soros has already gone after Britain before.

We've learned of the plot against U.S. banks, we have the commies showing their butts in Britain now, and the Muslim Brotherhood (more buddies of Obama's) and other islamists taking over in the Middle East, with Obama helping them in Libya. Once the islamists are in control, we can forget about affordable oil from the ME. A huge nail in the coffin of the economies of both Britain and the U.S.

How I loathe Obama for his part in all this, as well as those who voted for him.
