ACORN Behind Occupy Wall Street Protest, Obama Administration funding, Banks demonized and intimidated again, Obama community organizer tactics

I was in the process of following up on Patrick Fitzgerald, the US Justice Department and who they did and did not prosecute during the 2008 election cycle and moving forward when I came across this article. It came as no surprise to me.

“ACORN Behind Occupy Wall Street Protest”

“A famously corrupt leftist community organization with deep ties to President Barack Obama is largely behind the national movement to “end economic segregation” and social injustice in the United States.

Best known as Occupy Wall Street, the rowdy protests have received quite a bit of mainstream media coverage around the world. Besides New York, disruptive marches have been held in other major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami and Boston and more are scheduled in the coming days.

Among the goals is to get major banks to stop preying on the poor and people of color, according to the organizer of a Boston offshoot of an Occupy Wall Street rally. The event, promoted as Take Back Boston, was organized by dozens of local community groups that claim big banks have a pattern of pushing “bad loans on people of color and the poor.” As a result of the “predatory lending,” foreclosures have skyrocketed in urban communities, the organizers say.

Among the Take Back Boston organizers is a spinoff of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Amid a massive fraud scandal and a series of criminal probes, ACORN supposedly dismantled but the reality is that it simply changed its name. In fact, Judicial Watch recently published a special report (“The Rebranding of ACORN”) about the organization’s transformation into various spinoffs and affiliated groups.”

Prior to the 2008 election, ACORN with the help of Obama and his left wing associates in and outside of Congress, intimidated banks into making loans to many who would not otherwise qualify. The economic downturn forced many into foreclosure, although many of them would have failed anyway since they were not on sound economic footing. Now the banks are blamed for a situation created by the very forces blaming them. Pretty slick, eh?

 “Below is an exerpt from an official Acorn document.”

“ACORN Report
The ACORN Report is published by ACORN’s National Officeand contains up-to-date information. We have ACORN Reports indexed by date and topic available.”

“City Limits February 1999
During its 15 years in New York City, ACORN has helped squatters claim derelict city-owned property, forced bankers to invest in low-income communities, and organized a war against the city’s workfare program.

It’s also developed a reputation for no-holds-barred tactics—getting results through adversarial campaigns against bankers, politicians and bureaucrats using confrontation and concession rather than consensus. ACORN, unlike most social service non-profits, scorns charity. Their goal is to help poor people seize power.”
