What happened in Chicago
last week is the same leftist revolution that’s been roiling America
for decades. The leftists who carried out that “protest” are the same
ones who were last seen in 2011 and 2012 as Occupy Wall Street. Recall
that the purpose of those “protests” was to provide the Obama
re-election effort with the handy theme of income inequality and
economic justice, which lo and behold, is the Democrats’ theme this
year, too. What a coincidence.
Five years ago, Service Employees
International Union and other big unions (with financial backing from
Mr. Soros) planned Occupy Wall Street months in advance and got groups
like the socialist Working Families Party to pay local community
organizers to field people for the “protests.”
One of the original
agitators behind that movement, Mr. Ayers launched tutorial sessions
for the kids in the streets. He inspired them with the same words he had
used in the early 1970s: “Actions create facts, and facts are
essential,” he told them. “Every movement is improbable until it
happens; after the fact it so clearly was inevitable.” Bill Ayers,
master of wagging the dog.
At the time, many wondered why the
protesters seemed to lack a coherent message. The first step was to get
the foot soldiers — college students, aging hippies, socialists,
rank-and-file union members — riled up. It didn’t matter what the
message or cause was, at least not early on. The point was to get the
leftist mob acting first. Having invested so much in acting, the mob
would then be quick to accept any justification the leftist masters
supplied.
And so it was. At first, very few of the Occupy
protesters could articulate why they were there. As time went on, they
became a bit clearer: Socialism: yay! The banks: boo! And as intended,
they carried that energy into protesting, organizing, campaigning and
voting in 2012.
Organize the useful idiots, identify and amplify
grievances, pit group against group, stoke class warfare by hitting the
rich and telling others they are entitled to more of what has been
robbed from them, manufacture bedlam and then use it to advance their
agenda: This has been Mr. Obama’s shtick from his earliest days in Chicago to the White House.
And that’s why all of this is so familiar. The “protests” in Chicago
follow the same pattern — leftist generals send troops unaware of what
they’re protesting into the streets to create chaos and silence those
who oppose them. It didn’t start with Mr. Trump
and won’t end with him. His campaign is merely the current pretext for
the latest battle of a revolution that seeks nothing short of the
destruction of the American democratic and capitalist system.
