How to fake an Egyptian Riot inside the United States
By: George Soros


1. George Soros

Soros was actually convicted of insider trading in France. His opinion moves markets. He is one of the most powerful people in the world entirely due to his ability to get other people to part with their money. His tentacles are everywhere. He uses numerous foundations and associations to keep money flowing and spread around. It’s no secret that George Soros is fond of deceit and subterfuge. He is a radical in the mold of Saul Alinsky. For all of the nonsensical blathering he does about how he can make the world a better place, he has no real plan to do any such thing. Soros loses interest in a project after the demo phase is over. According to Horowitz and Poe, Soros candidly admits he finds destruction easier than creation.


2. Soros invests 3.5 million in the Tides Center

Soros' Open Society gave grants of $3.5 million to the Tides Center, a San Francisco-based group that acts almost like a clearing house for other donors, directing their contributions to liberal non-profit groups.


3. Tides Center sends money to Adbusters to fund the planning of Occupation

Disclosure documents also show Tides, which declined comment, gave Adbusters grants of $185,000 from 2001-2010, including nearly $26,000 between 2007-2009.


4. Adbusters organizes occupation protests

"It came out of these brainstorming sessions we have at Adbusters," Lasn told Reuters, adding they began promoting it online on July 13. "We were inspired by what happened in Tunisia and Egypt and we had this feeling that America was ripe for a Tahrir moment."

"We felt there was a real rage building up in America, and we thought that we would like to create a spark which would give expression for this rage."


5. Who will 'occupy' our protests in the streets? Of course, hipsters with very little real world experience

'We Are the 53 Percent' - The Conservative Response to the 99 Percent Movement

In response to the 99 percent movement that has inspired the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their fellow picketers across the country, a group of right-wing bloggers have come together to issue their criticism of the protesters via new Tumblr blog called "We are the 53 percent."

The blog, kicked off by the conservative filmmaker Mike Wilson and blogger Erick Erickson of RedState.org, aims to be representative of the 53 percent of Americans who pay more in federal income taxes than they receive back in deductions or credits. The figure is based on a report from the non-partisan Tax Policy Center that said 47 percent of Americans did not pay federal income taxes in 2009, an unusually high percentage due to the fall in incomes resulting from the Great Recession.

The Americans who do not pay income taxes are those who are either so poor that they are exempt, or those that are the beneficiaries of tax breaks and deductions that cancel out their income tax payments.

1. Bashing the Tides Center again?
Highway Shooter Targeted Tides Foundation, ACLU

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Tuolumne County man arrested a shootout with California Highway Patrol officers on I-580 in Oakland early Sunday was reportedly heading to San Francisco to target individuals at liberal nonprofit the Tides Foundation and the ACLU, according to Oakland police spokesperson Jeff Thomason.

Byron Williams, 45, a resident of Groveland, released from the hospital and booked into Santa Rita Jail early Tuesday, Thomason said. He was arraigned Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Alameda County Superior Court.

Williams had been held at Highland Hospital, where he was treated for injuries suffered in the shootout, according to Thomason. He was booked into jail on suspicion of attempted murder.

At the arraignment, Thomason confirmed to KTVU that evidence indicated Williams planned to target the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit organization with an office located in San Francisco's Presidio which -- according to its website -- works promotes social change through its partnerships with groups worldwide.

Prompted by this Glenn Beck rant:

Glenn Beck and the Oakland shooter

Late on a Saturday night two weeks ago, an unemployed carpenter packed his mother's Toyota Tundra with guns and set off for San Francisco with a plan to kill progressives.

When California Highway Patrol officers stopped him on an interstate in Oakland for driving erratically, Byron Williams, wearing body armor, fired at police with a 9mm handgun, a shotgun and a .308-caliber rifle with armor-piercing bullets, Oakland police say. Shot and captured after injuring two officers, Williams, on parole for bank robbery, told investigators that he wanted "to start a revolution" by "killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU," according to a police affidavit. His mother, Janice, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her son had been watching television news and was upset by "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items."

But what television news show could have directed the troubled man's ire toward the obscure Tides Foundation, which sounds as if it's dedicated to oceanography, or perhaps laundry detergent, but which is in fact a nonprofit that claims to support "sustainability, better education, solutions to the AIDS epidemic and human rights"?

A week after the incident, the mystery was solved. "Tides was one of the hardest things that we ever tried to explain, and everyone told us that we couldn't," Fox News host Glenn Beck told his radio listeners on Monday. "The reason why the blackboard" -- the prop Beck uses on his TV show to trace conspiracies -- "really became what the blackboard is, is because I was trying to explain Tides and how all of this worked." Beck accuses Tides of seeking to seize power and destroy capitalism, and he suggests that a full range of his enemies on the left all have "ties to the Tides Center." On Monday, he savored the fact that "no one knew what Tides was until the blackboard."
