| Sedition - Former SEIU Official Reveals Secret Plan To 'Destabilize' America (Audio) |
| 2011-03-22 |
| A former official of one of the country's most-powerful unions, SEIU, is detailing a secret plan to "destabilize" the country. Specifically, the plan seeks to destroy JP Morgan, crash the stock market, and weaken Wall Street's grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government. The former SEIU official, Steven Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend. "What does the other side fear the most - they fear disruption. They fear uncertainty. Every article about Europe says when they rioted in Greece the markets went down. "The folks that control this country care about one thing how the stock market goes what the bond market does how the bonuses goes. We have a very simple strategy: How do we bring down the stock market? How do we bring down their bonuses? How do we interfere with their ability to be rich? "So a bunch of us around the country think 'Who would be a really good company to hate'? We decided that would be JP Morgan Chase, and so we are going to roll out over the next couple of months what would hopefully be an exciting campaign about JP Morgan Chase that is really about challenge the power of Wall Street. "And so what we are looking at is the first week in May can we get enough people together starting now to really have an week of action in New York I don't want to give any details because I don't know if there are any police agents in the room. The goal would be that we will roll out of New York the first week of May. We will connect three ideas: That we are not broke there is plenty of money. They have the money - we need to get it back. And that they are using Bloomberg and other people in government as the vehicle to try and destroy us. "And so we need to take on those folks at the same time. And that we will start here we are going to look at a week of civil disobedience - direct action all over the city. "Then roll into the JP Morgan shareholder meeting which they moved out of New York because I guess they were afraid because of Columbus. "There is going to be a ten state mobilization to try and shut down that meeting and then looking at bank shareholder meetings around the country and try and create some moments like Madison except where we are on offense instead of defense. "Where we have brave and heroic battles challenging the power of the giant corporations. We hope to inspire a much bigger movement about redistributing wealth and power in the country and that labor can't do itself that community groups can't do themselves but maybe we can work something new and different that can be brave enough and daring and nimble enough to do that kind of thing." |
