Feeding the Machine
I just got a fund raising email from the pornograhers at Firedog Lake begging for money to supply the hippies in the Occupy Wall Street protests across the country with the things they didn’t think they needed when they started their protest in the Fall of the year;
Jonn,
The FDL Membership’s Occupy Supply fund has raised an incredible $120,000 – 100% of which has been committed to preparing occupations across the US for the cold winter months.
We’ve already spent $81,835.71 on union and American-made winter weather gear, like -40 degree socks, hats, scarves, base layers, generators, food, sleeping bags and a lot more. Our reporter Kevin Gosztola has brought the Occupy Supply fund to over 50 occupations across the country, meeting with protesters and purchasing the things they need with the help of FDL members, the Machinists union, and volunteers.
FDL Members have also organized a dedicated national supply chain of ‘Occupy Liaisons,’ working directly with the occupations to assess needs and then collaborating with the Supply Fund to quickly distribute cold weather gear to those who need it most.
Every day, more and more occupations ask for our help – but we need your support to continue to fulfill their requests through the winter and beyond.
I’ll bet that “more and more” are asking for their help…since begging is what hippies do best. Money down a dark hole. Surely, they don’t think they’re making an investment in America.
As Glenn Greenwald wrote at Salon this week, the Occupy Supply fund and Occupy movement share in common that we are “not devoted to voicing grievances as much as [we are devoted to] finding a model to solve them.”1
Oh, that’s brilliant. They’re experimenting with forms of government to produce a new order. They’re so naive, they’re almost cute.
I wonder if they know that they’re pumping their money into the capitalist machine. I hope they buy stuff at Walmart and get their money’s worth.
Meanwhile, actress Anne Hathaway showed to protest wth the OWS clan with her “Blackboards not bullets” sign. She decided to support the protesters even though she’s in the 1% with her fifteen million clams net worth. I guess the hypocrisy is lost on Hollywood.

oops. Looks like I forgot to mention We need you capitalists to support us anti capitalists.
I fed the vending machine this afternoon. Done feeding machines this week but maybe next week, there are some twinkies that caught my eye.
Like any other war, cut off their logistics and they will fold…..
“We’ve already spent $81,835.71 on union and American-made winter weather gear….” I’m sure the expenditures are all itemized, sourced, and published on their website. And we all saw a number of the purchased items–as they were being hauled away to a legitimate dump by sanitation workers. So, where do we send our checks and money orders? Or should I just leave my bank card number and security code in the comments section of their website?
Might as well send the deed to your house and the keys to your car, too, AC!
The irony is so stunning. And they have no idea just how funny they are.
I wonder if there’s anyway to hijack this enemy supply stash? At least I hope that Occupy Supply has stocked some falsies for Ann Hathaway. Union made ones. But more likely the Chinese are the only ones who have her size.
-40 socks? In a city where the record low temperature is -3? I mean, yeah, be prepared, but fuck, it’s only getting into the 40’s at night and up to 60 during the day.
We have a word for that in New Hampshire–JUNE.
Got a better idea, hippies–spend some of that caysh you scammed on things like soap, porta-shitter rentals, and some permethrin or Nix for those crotch critters.
@7 NHSparky,
Why should they spend money on things they would actualy need? We all know the 3 year old mentality these “people” have. They will waste it all on shiny stuff they want, than through a temper tantrum and demand free healthcare to fix all the nasty crap they caught while they were out making the world a worse place.
