Black Panther Co-Founder @ Socialist Party Event Calls For "Community Control" & "Solidarity"



Now it becomes apparent why the New Black Panther Party supported local control of the St. Louis Police Department, because the Black Panther Party supports "Community Control".

According to an Article in the Communist Party USA news, People's World, during a Southern California Socialist Party Event, Co Founder of the Black Panther Party calls for "Community Control" over Police Etc..:

"On a warm and otherwise typical Saturday evening, Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale spoke to an eager crowd of nearly 100 listeners representing an array of political organizations in the region.

The event, which took place at the Los Angeles Workers' Center, was organized by the Southern California Chapter of the Socialist Party.

Solidarity and unity were recurring key elements in Seale's speech. At the podium, the 74-year-old reflected on his days with the Black Panthers. He spoke about their successful community breakfast program for children, not just as an example from the party's long list of community accomplishments, but as a model of coalition work.

"Ninety percent of African Americans supported what the Black Panthers were doing," Seale said.

Additionally, Seale went on to say that the Black Panthers enjoyed a diverse support, with many of its followers "young white left radicals.".....

....During a two-hour speech, Seale spoke mainly on the need for community control, such as over the police department, and coalition politics.

"I'm not a socialist; I'm a community control economist," Seale said. "I believe in community control. Now, talk about the 'greed control' of average crooked monopoly capitalists. Your definitiveness, your antithesis to them is greater community control."


Yes that makes a nice combination...

Socialists and Black Panthers working Together for "Community Control".

What could possibly go wrong with that?

Communist Paradise? American Medical Student in Cuba Shares Room with 11 Others, Eats Beans and Rice, Studies by Candle, No Running Water for Days


Progressives, Socialists and Communists love to tout the "Paradise" that will be created if we all just conform our lives to the Marxist concepts of Big Government and Small Individual Freedoms. A Right to Health Care, a Home, a Job and Pure "Democracy" are the "perks" that are constantly thrown in our face as some of the examples they say will make all of our lives "Equal", "Just" and a Venerable Utopia.

Well if your idea of "paradise" is sharing a room with 11 people you aren't related to, eating nothing but beans and rice, having to read by candle light and going days at at a time without running water all the while getting a "free" education then the Progressives are right.

According to an article in the Communist Party USA News, People's World, an American Medical Student, Chasiti I. Falls, describes the Communist Paradise she lives in during her stay in Cuba as she takes advantage of Castro's "Free" Medical School:

"At this stage of my educational career, I am living in a dorm on hospital grounds in Central Havana where I share a room with 11 Latin American students. I rotate through several hospitals depending on their specialty. We eat beans and rice, and complete patient evolutions daily. At times I study by candlelight and go days without running water."

Wow... where do I sign up?

According to an article written in 2007 featuring Miss Falls, these conditions reflect the lives of Cuban Citizens:

"Living as a student in a dorm room with 17 roommates, we are served rice and beans in the cafeteria every day. The U.S. embargo does not exempt me from experiencing life the same as a Cuban citizen…"

Universal Health Care, Free Room and Board, Free Food AND a Free Education...

Why does it always sound like a good idea but in reality... it sucks?

Don't think so?

Just ask Miss Falls, or one of her 11 roommates, while they digest their bean feast and sit around the candle studying at night taking turns fetching water from the well.

With a Communist Paradise like this...

Who Needs..... Hell....?

Elderly Tea Partier Laughed At By Republican Rep and Progressives for Wanting to Get Rid of the Department of Education



Earlier in June, during a town hall meeting with Colorado Republican Representative Cory Gardner, an Elderly Female Tea Partier stood up to suggest, among several things, the elimination of the Department of Education. Her statement was met by applause from her fellow Tea Partiers but was quickly followed by laughter(and later Ridicule)from the Progressives in attendance.

It even appears at one point after the applause that Congressman Gardner joins in with the Progressives to laugh at the elderly woman, then quickly goes on to state that "I don't think..eh ah.. Isn't what I'm focusing on" he says he is focusing on "Jobs and the Economy".

Well Representative Gardner maybe you should focus on your Job and stop laughing at elderly women at town halls who seem to know bloated Government when they see it....

AFL-CIO Labor Council VP and AFL-CIO Business Rep to Receive Communist Party USA Award


I'm beginning to think that the acronym AFL-CIO really stands for Communist Party USA (CPUSA). In the past several years there have been almost a half-dozen Presidents and Vice Presidents of AFL-CIO locals as well as other AFL-CIO employees who have accepted a CPUSA Award.

Well it's time to add two more to that list of recipients.

According to the "Solidarity" calendar on the St. Louis Jobs with Justice website, the 1st Vice President of the AFL-CIO St. Louis Labor Council and the Business Manager of the AFL-CIO St. Louis Newspaper Guild, are going to be awarded the CPUSA Hershel Walker award:

"The MO/KS Friends of the People's World (CPUSA) presents the 19th Annual Hershel Walker 'Peace & Justice' Awards Breakfast. The keynote speaker is Sally Kohn, Chief Education Officer of Movement Vision Lab, a grassroots popular education organization. Tickets for the breakfast are $25.

Awardees include St. Louis JwJ Leadership Team Labor Co-Chair Shannon Duffy, Business Manager, St. Louis Newspaper Guild; John Ebeling, 1st Vice-President, St. Louis Central Labor Council, CWA 6300; and St. Louis Workers' Rights Board Member Bernie Hayes, author of "The Death of Black Radio" and WGNU radio host.

The breakfast will be held at CWA Local 6300, 2258 Grissom Dr., 63146. For more information visit the People's World website or contact Tony Pecinovsky at 314-583-xxxx or at tonypec@cpusa.org."

Shannon Duffy is now the second known AFL-CIO Employee of the St. Louis Newspaper Guild to take part in a Hershel Walker Communist Award ceremony. During the 18th Annual Hershel Walker Awards then President of the AFL-CIO St. Louis Newspaper Guild, Bernie Lunzer, was the keynote Speaker at the event.

And John Ebeling is not only the 1st Vice President of the St. Louis Labor Council he is also the Vice President of the Print and Media Sector of the local CWA 6300 (AFL-CIO) in St. Louis.

Coincidentally the CWA 6300 union hall was the location of the 18th Annual CPUSA Hershel Walker Awards and is also slated to be the location for the 19th as well. (You Think John Ebeling had something to do with that?)

Oh and in case you didn't notice, take a look at the contact person for the event. It's St. Louis's own CPUSA recruiter and CPUSA News reporter, Tony Peckinovsky. Notice he even uses his CPUSA email address.

The AFl-CIO and the CPUSA seem to have ties as close as kissing cousins here in the St. Louis area and it makes you wonder.....

Does anyone in the AFL-CIO have a "Made in America" bumper sticker on their truck anymore or have they given up any pretense of Pro-Americanism and just wear a Che Guevara shirt now?

Because if a single member of the AFL-CIO disagrees with the close ties to the Communist Party their outrage is so loud.....

.....you can hear a pin drop.

ICE Told Police to Release Illegals in PA



According to You Tube:

"Obama's amnesty-by-fiat is marching forward. We have reported how Obama is exploring various ways to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Since the American people are not going along with his plan, he is implementing it by top-down executive powers. John Morton, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), recently released new prosecutorial discretion guidelines encouraging agents to release most illegals."


So the Obama Administration drops the ball again....surprised?

Hypocrite: Michelle Obama Eats French Fries and Deep Fried Fat Cakes



It looks like Michelle Obama is a 'do as I say and not as I do' kind of First Lady. She is pushing healthy eating but then goes on a tax payer funded vacation (That is what it is no matter what the White House says) to Africa and pigs out on French Fries and Deep Fried Fat Cakes. Yes Fat Cakes...

Well I guess it's no different than President Obama eating two Chilli Dogs and French Fries the day after Michelle Obama released her plan for healthy eating called "MyPlate".

So considering the Obama's current trend of eating habits the "MyPlate" is due for some revisions...:

Google's Smart Grid Program Fails; Gives Up on Concept


If you are a regular reader of The P/Oed Patriot you have read all about the Obama Administration's approved plan to monitor your Internet and TV usage through the Smart Grid.

But not everyone is having success with seeing their Smart Grid plans become reality , including Google.

According to an article on zdnet.com, Google's plan to give you access to your energy usage information, and healthcare information, online didn't catch on like they thought it would:


"Google is to shut down its PowerMeter and Google Health services because it has been unable to turn them into mass-market propositions, the company said on Friday.

PowerMeter, which lets people monitor their energy contrast usage online, was available to users in the UK and the US. Google Health — an opt-in personal health record aggregator — was by contrast only available in the US, and only in early beta form. Both projects involved multiple partners in the burgeoning smart grid and healthcare industries, respectively.

In a blog post by Google Health senior product manager Aaron Brown and Bill Weihl, Google's 'green energy czar', the company said PowerMeter and Google Health "didn't catch on the way we would have wanted". However, they promised to help users of the services extract their data before shutdown.

"Both [services] were based on the idea that with more and better information, people can make smarter choices, whether in regard to managing personal health and wellness, or saving money and conserving energy at home," Brown and Weihl wrote. "While they didn't scale as we had hoped, we believe they did highlight the importance of access to information in areas where it's traditionally been difficult."


Coincidentally President Obama believes in the same false premise. That if you know more information about your energy usage through the Smart Grid, then you will change your behavior.

But to be honest with the capabilities of the Obama Approved Smart Grid Plan...

The Government could just change your behavior for you.

GE to Team Up With Best Buy to Push Smart Grid Appliances


In the past several months I have exposed the Obama Approved plan to use the Smart Grid to track everything from your Internet use to your Ice Cube production.

But how will that be possible you ask?


Demand Response Appliances (DRA) will have a wireless capability that will allow them to communicate with the utility company via the Smart Meter attached to your home. The DRA will tell them when it's running, what it's doing, how long it's doing it and it will allow you, and the utility company, to control it remotely. DRAs will encompass everything from your light switch, to your computer, your pool pump and even your electric car.

Who will Push these Demand Response Appliances?

Best Buy and GE of course.

According to an article on Green Biz.com, GE has team up with Best buy to push "Smart Grid" Appliances (Also known as DRAs):

"A device that can lower energy bills by reducing the voltage of electricity streaming into a house and a gadget to control AC based on room temperature and occupancy are slated for a fast track to store shelves under a new partnership between General Electric and Best Buy......

...but a GE said its Nucleus Energy Manager, a plug-in device introduced last July for use in homes, is now expected to reach store shelves early next year and will be available at Best Buy.

GE, which has rolled out a smart-grid ready water-heater, dishwasher and refrigerator, anticipates a growing market for home energy management products -- so much so that it created a new business unit for them last fall."


Without DRA's the Smart Grid would be as threatening to your privacy as a Girl Scout selling cookies. But with DRAs the Smart Grid becomes the ultimate Tool of Tyranny.

History has proven that every Tyrant needs henchmen that helps to suppress the people's rights (right to privacy in this case).

It looks like GE and Best Buy have stepped up to the plate to be those main "thugs" in helping the Administration push your privacy right out of your home....

One "Smart" Appliance at a time...

George Soros, SEIU and Other Unions Give Money to Democrat Super PAC


According to an article in the Huffpo,ultra wealthy progressive, George Soros, SEIU and other unions are giving money had over fist to a Democrat Super Political Action Committee (PAC):

"The contributors to House Majority PAC, the new Democratic Super PAC, reads like a Glenn Beck fever dream. The list includes George Soros, a hedge fund billionaire and long-time backer of political efforts to elect Democrats, and a collection of unions, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Associated Federal, State, County, Municipal Employees (AFSCME).....

The most notable contribution to House Majority PAC is Soros' $75,000 contribution. Soros previously stated that he had little interest in funding political efforts after his massive donations to defeat President George W. Bush failed in 2004."

StopSmartMeters.Org Director Arrested For Protesting Illegal Smart Meter Installation



According to StopSmartMeters.Org, their Director, Joshua Hart, was arrested during a protest in front of the local utility company office:

"Joshua Hart, Director of Stop Smart Meters! was arrested this afternoon after blocking the entrance to the Capitola PG&E payment center in protest of PG&E’s illegal “smart” meter installations in the County. The County of Santa Cruz, as well as the Cities of Capitola, and Watsonville have adopted urgency ordinances prohibiting the installation of wireless “smart” meters within their jurisdictions. Forty-three local governments throughout the state have formally demanded a halt to the program because of concerns about health, privacy, accuracy, and fire safety. Contrary to what PG&E and the CA Public Utilities Commission claim, local governments have broad rights granted to them under the California Constitution- including banning installation of wireless “smart” meters, deemed by many experts to be a serious health threat. A showdown is looming between PG&E- who says they plan to disregard local government laws and force smart meters onto people’s homes, and local elected officials who are intent upon upholding the law and protecting the public.

"PG&E has been under fire in recent days for threatening customers in Oakland with disconnection unless they allow the dangerous meters on their homes. “Though the company claims that the threats are isolated to a few renegade employees, there is growing evidence that this is part of a corporate strategy to isolate and intimidate people into accepting the increasingly unpopular DumbMeters.” says Joshua Hart, Director of Stop Smart Meters! “PG&E seems to be claiming that they are more of an expert than the World Health Organization when it comes to deciding what is and what isn’t harmful to human health. Thousands of people have reported serious health damage in California alone.”

Almost Plagarism/From God to Global Warming: NBC Copies Noah's Ark News Story; Ignores God and Adds Global Warming Propaganda


Yesterday NBC news ran a story about a replica of Noah's Ark in the Netherlands constructed by a contractor named Johan Huibers. Here is the NBC story:



Sounds all nice and professional doesn't it?

Well too bad that not only did the NBC story fail to mention the other reason for the construction of the Ark, but the NBC reporter also came very close (like so close she did) to Plagiarizing parts of her story from this one in 2007:



In case you didn't notice the almost Plagiarism let me point it out to you.

At the 2:00 minute mark in the NBC video the reporter says this:

"Of course there are some things you may not want two of."

This is a screen shot of that exact moment in the video:


Ironically in the video from 2007 at the 2:07 mark the reporter says this:

"Of Course there are some things you just wouldn't want two of."

This is a screen shot of that exact moment in the 2007 video:


Notice how the NBC reporter almost committed outright Plagarism but instead decided to change the wording and report just slightly.

That kind of tactic I would expect from a High school student writing a report, not a NBC reporter doing an international news story.

But that isn't the only thing that raised my eyebrow while watching these videos.

The NBC story leaves out completely the other reason that Mr. Huibers built the Ark. In case you missed it, this is what Mr. Huibers said in 2007 when he was asked why he built the Ark:

"To tell the People About God."

Hmmm.. the NBC reporter failed to mention that little fact.

Instead the NBC reporter decided to add information about a different religion and it's god....

Global Warming and Al Gore.

So it would seem that not only is NBC not original enough to come up with their own gags...

They would rather push the religion of Global Warming than the religion of Christianity.

Now I can't take credit for this discovery. I owe this article to my Facebook friend Julie Addington. She is the one who found the video from 2007 and brought it to my attention about the possible plagiarism.

Thanks Julie!

NBC Turns Noah's Ark Story Into Global Warming / Al Gore Propaganda



According to You Tube:

"June 22: On the banks of a small river in the Netherlands, Johan Huibers has constructed a real-life Noah's Ark, built to biblical scale using the ancient measure of cubits -- an arm's length, elbow to fingertip."

Notice how the Story suddenly went from Noah's Ark to Global Warming and Al Gore.
