The Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) group reportedly promised to pay protesters $5,000 per month to stir up civil unrest in Ferguson following the death of Michael Brown at the hands of a white police officer.
Last year's protests in Ferguson, Missouri were attended by hired protesters who were promised thousands of dollars per month to participate in the Black Lives Matter movement, but the hiring organization never paid those protesters, and now they are speaking out.
The Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) group, which succeeded the now-bankrupt St. Louis branch of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), promised to pay protesters $5,000 per month to stir up civil unrest in Ferguson following the death of black teen Michael Brown at the hands of a white police officer, according to FrontPage Magazine.
MORE hasn't paid, and now the protesters are fighting back, staging a sit-in last week at MORE headquarters, and launching a Twitter campaign with the hashtag #CutTheCheck.
Much of the animosity appears to be directed at MORE executive director Jeff Ordower, who previously ran Missouri ACORN and oversaw ACORN's Midwest operations, according to FrontPage.
Millennial Activists United (MAU), an activist collective for youth organization, posted a letter on their Tumblr blog giving a little background and demanding that MORE pay up:
"Early in the movement, non-profit organization MORE, formerly known as the St. Louis chapter of ACORN, and local St. Louis organization Organization for Black Struggle created a joint account in which national donors from all over the world have donated over $150,000 to sustain the movement. Since then, the poor black people of this movement who served as cash generators to bring money into St. Louis have seen little to none of that money," the letter reads.
"Questions have been raised as to how the movement is to sustain when white non-profits are hoarding monies collected off of black bodies? When we will hold the industry of black suffering accountable? The people of the community are fed up and the accountability begins here and now."
It continues: "This isn't about MORE. This is about black lives in the Black Lives Matter movement who are literally broke and starving. There is an insidious strand of racism and white supremacy that exists in this movement and it is called the Non-Profit Industrial Complex. As a by-product, it provides decent salaries and comfort to many people who are not directly affected by the disparities that they are trying to address. This money is typically in the hands of white people who oversee the types of services that the non-profit provides, while having select token black people to spearhead the conversations within and to the community."
"In St. Louis, organizers and protesters depleted $50,000 of the available funds and dispersed it among people in the movement in no particular order. Jeff Ordower, executive director of MORE, stated that another $57,000 is expected in the next one to two weeks."
Liberal billionaire George Soros, the 27th richest man in the world, bankrolls MORE through his nonprofit Open Society Foundations (OSF), according tax filings seen by The Washington Times. The newspaper reported in January that Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support groups actively involved in the Ferguson protests.
A number of protest groups from around the nation were reportedly paid to travel to Ferguson to participate in the unrest.
"More than 500 of us have traveled from Boston, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Nashville, Portland, Tucson, Washington, D.C., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and other cities to support the people of Ferguson and help turn a local moment into a national movement," Akiba Solomon of the group Colorlines told the Times.
I wish more realists were in the media.
These black 'protesters' never ask themselves the obvious.... what is an old white billionaire - the 27th richest man in the world - getting for his money?
And if he really wanted to 'help' black people why doesn't he fund a few million black businesses? Or send black kids to charter schools where they'll have a chance?
Why is Soros only funding things that make the rest of the country look down on blacks? How is that 'helping' the black community? Well, it's NOT helping the black community. And the old white man knows it's not helping... it's just stirring the pot... it's making things worse... and the old white guy wants it that way.
Sounds like a slave revolt to me.
The manipulated and deceived useful idiots are once again showing their true colors. Ferguson has been recovering very nicely and we have had successful Farmer’s Markets, our annual Twi-Light 5K/10K Run/Walk, and a wonderful re-do of last years cancelled StreetFestival. We’ve authorized a plaque to be erected for St. Mike. Its presence is another outreach to the manipulated and deceived that will present another opportunity for them to show their true intentions.
Ferguson is witnessing an amazing new form of tourism. People are adding Ferguson to their list of places to see while visiting St. Louis. They are spending their tourist dollars at our local restaurants and seeing for themselves that the media lied about our fine city. Yes, Ferguson is recovering from last year’s assault, but there is still much work to do. Those Freepers who have helped me and others in prayer - Thank you and know that your prayers are effective. Reports like this prove that our prayers for the manipulated and deceived useful idiots to be divided and fight against one another are working. There is a new area of prayer warfare opening up; please join me.
This thread provides an opportunity to highlight and explain what’s going on behind the recall election of Mayor Jim Knowles. Ferguson has two term limits on its elected officials, including mayor and councilmen. Mayor Knowles has been leading Ferguson through 2 tornadoes and the aftermath of Hurricane Ike (We never get hurricane flooding in St. Louis, but Ike flooded Ferguson and nearby Florissant very badly.) He has led us through the growth of our downtown district and the many positive festivals and events that enrich our lives in this city. He is nearing the end of his term and has grown wonderfully, both as an elected official and as a human being. Why the recall attempt when his term will be ending soon and he will not be able to run for re-election?
We have had the DOJ report sword of Damocles hanging over our heads since Holder released that fraudulent pack of lies and distortions. Mayor Knowles has been challenging the report, not only because succumbing to these extortions has damaged other cities, but because the claims are blatant mistruths that disagree with similar studies and reports done by the state of Missouri and St. Louis County.
Mayor Knowles is challenging this report. He is being personally attacked by criminals and vandals, but has the class not to air these felonies. A recall petition has been filed to remove him from office when his time in office will soon be legally ended. The people behind all these actions are protesting MORE because they haven’t been paid for their looting and arson. Connect the dots. Is it possible that this useless recall drive, which is doomed to failure, is being backed by the political hacks heading the DOJ, and are using the manipulated and deceived (and unpaid) useful idiots? Conspiracy theory, tin-foil hat stuff, but after seeing ISIS, PLO, and Communist flags flying in my medium sized Midwestern town, after watching our political leaders, from Governor Nixon to AG Holder to President Obama stoke the fires of anarchy and revolution in my streets, after witnessing many good, fine police officers lose their careers on the altar of organized media-government complicity, I am willing to accept that this attack is possible.
Please pray that Mayor Knowles will continue to remain strong, that this recall effort will further display the foolishness of the manipulated and deceived useful idiots, and that more connections between the Ferguson insurrection and the Federal government will be revealed.
Following is a link to Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky. This PDF is free, so you will not be giving that traitor or his estate any money. This is the blueprint for the revolution that was the subject of Hillary’s senior thesis, that President Obama taught as a community organizer and that was followed to the letter in Ferguson. Know your enemy - read this book. It is diabolical and evil but it is a brilliant strategy for destroying the country we love.

Democrats are like Maggot’s in and on road kill..
Big Surprise: We Lied!
Thanks for your efforts and Have A Nice Day! :)
Those Ferguson Protesters have not been paid and are feeling royally screwed. Only problem is, there’s almost nothing left to burn down in another protest! Life is not fair.
“Broke and starving’’. Get a f**king job you asshole!
Sue ‘em or burn them out, I don’t care which.
MORE gibs
Bkmk.
My first thought. If heads don't roll, it's over. (again.)
It’s always fun when liberals turn on each other.
SUCKERS! You got played by a white man that's a LOT richer than any conservative or the Koch Brothers will ever be...
Is it proper to still refer to it as a rent-a-mob if the rent check never got written?
The coup has already occurred. But the new 'government' can't just announce the fact. That would create a negative reaction.
The next step they will take is to create CHAOS, so that we DEMAND they take over (to fix the chaos they created).
After that comes NORMALIZATION. That's the real 'fix' part and most people aren't going to like it. Especially the leftists and liberals. They will be the first the new 'government' gets rid of. I mean, what NEW government leaders would trust those who sold out their former government and fellow citizens ?
They will be lined up against the wall and shot. Most of us will just have to undergo re-education (and acceptance of the NEW WORLD ORDER - The New Socialist Caliphate of the Western Hemisphere).
SUCKERS!
Hmmm...
Isn’t promising to pay for mayhem called “incitement to riot”?
