I'm not sure why we didn't see this on the national news over the weekend (sarcasm) but there is a strong connection between the Occupy movement and domestic terrorism in Cleveland, OH. According to CantonRep.com, five men were arrested on an accusation of trying to bomb a highway bridge south of Cleveland using fake bombs that were provided through an undercover FBI agent.
One of the men arrested, Anthony Hayne, also happens to have signed the lease to a warehouse that houses around a dozen Occupy protesters in the Cleveland area. Now the Occupy movement is trying to distance themselves from Hayne and the perception of violence. Don't be fooled though!
The Occupy movement is grounded in socialism and in violence. Occupy Cleveland spokesman, Joseph Zitt, says that the group of men arrested don't reflect the non-violent philosophy movement and have been removed from the group. “These people participated in aspects of the movement, but once we discovered what was going on we decided they could not be part of it,” Zitt said. “I wish we had learned earlier.”
As with just about any other aspect of life we need to look at what people are doing as opposed to what they are saying. Actions always, always speak louder than words. The video above is from an Occupy the Occupy Los Angeles camp. You tell me, do the words, " the bourgeoisie won’t go without violent means. Revolution! Yes, revolution that is led by the working class. Long live revolution! Long live socialism!” followed by cheering sound like a non-violent group to you?
