Is SEIU Working With Hamas And FARC?
by Andrew MarcusProminent current and former members of SEIU local 73 are being investigated for their potential ties to the Hamas and FARC terrorist groups.
Late last year, their homes were raided by the FBI, and they were subpoenaed to appear in front of a grand jury for questioning.
Joe Iosbaker, Chief Steward of SEIU 73, and Tom Burke (former board member of SEIU 73) are among 9 people who are subjects in the investigation. None of them have been charged with any crimes, yet.
Two days ago, they refused again to appear in front of the grand jury.
The interesting thing about these SEIU folks is that they also belong to a violently radical group called the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. From their website:
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) is a revolutionary socialist and Marxist-Leninist organization in the United States.
1) We stand for the right to self-determination up to and including secession for the African American nation in the Black Belt South.
While rejecting Zionist claims on Palestine and white supremacist claims to a white southern nation or northwestern nation, we do acknowledge the fact that the most advanced sections of the Black liberation movement, from the 1800s on, have demanded a Black Republic in the South.
It gets worse from there.
This is the same group who, along with the other subjects of the FBI investigation, takes credit for staging the 2008 RNC protest-riots.
Shockingly, SEIU leadership is supporting their accused members, and the chosen strategy of not cooperating with law enforcement.
Beginning at 6:15 in the video below, SEIU’s Matt Brandon gives the union’s full-throated support for targets of the investigation.
Let that sink in for a minute. SEIU members are being investigated for potential ties to terrorists, and SEIU leadership is supporting non-cooperation with law enforcement. Can we question their patriotism yet??
Imagine Haliburton being investigated by DOJ for potential ties to terrorists, and their management comes out in support of ignoring grand jury subpoenas. Do you think mainstream media outlets might cover it?
The bottom line is that in addition to demanding the right to riot on the streets of America, the Progressive movement in this country (including SEIU) wants the right to organize “non-violent” actions with Hamas and FARC.
Pay close attention to the 2 minute mark in the video below. The Lawyers Guild protester lets the cat out of the bag when he talks about Global Exchange being threatened by all of this. Global Exchange is one of the groups that helped organized the violent Hamas flotilla.
So here you have SEIU members participating in violent revolutionary causes, and SEIU leadership defending them.
This raises a lot of questions about the extent of coordination between the American Progressive movement and global terrorist organizations. We can think of at least two people who are strongly associated with this exact SEIU local 73, people who might be able to shed some light on the actions of its members:
Andy Stern
And President Barack Obama
From the 2008 SEIU 73 annual report:
SEIU Local 73 was all across the nation in 2008 assisting Barack Obama in his historic run for the White House. Members and SEIU Local 73 staff worked the primaries not only in Illinois, but in Ohio and other key states. The Purple Army was out in force to turn our nation blue!
To say that they are close is an understatement.
What does the President know, and how long has he known it?

SEIU associating with terrorists? They are terrorists. They, along with their sister organization ACORN have used thug tactics to intimidate US citizens, up to and including actual violence. Does Obama know this – of course he does. And he approves of it every time he consorts with Stern and the rest of the SEIU mob. Shameless and grounds for investigation at the very least.
Does refusing to appear before a grand jury constitute a crime? Why aren't they in jail? Oh, silly me, They are SEIU and maybe even black, from the looks of the picture. I keep forgetting the law doesn't apply to them. We need to take our country back from the Chicago mob, while we are still allowed out of our homes without curfew and identification requirements.
This should not be a surprise to anyone!
Commie Rat Bastids, the lot of them.
Yeah, it's an old, mockable turn of phrase, but I'm feeling sentimental what with seeing all the pinko propaganda turn to a shameless hue of red.
Priceless. 0bama's civilian army is once more up to no good. I'm so stinking sick and tired of these traitors to freedom. What is most irritating is that republicans are such spineless fence sitters that nothing will ever become of this. From slow simmer to boil. Just the way 0bama likes it.
WOW,…..really,…??????
Two forces that want to eliminate the America as we know it and,….
we suspect that maybe,.just maybe,…..
there are ties between them.
The only question I have is,……
are the progressives using the terrorists or,……
is it the other way around.
They're Pres. Soetero's kind of folks. They hate America, they hate the Constitution, they hate our Judeo-Christian values, they love dictatorships and oppression.
A serious investigation of SEIU is way past due. There is an obvious agenda designed to harm America and they should be treated as treasonist bastards. Consorting with extremists, stealing from taxpayers and supporting political revolution must be brought to quick end.
Politicians accepting their money should be investigated and put under a microscope for all to see.
And people like me.
Who promote the use of violence against such people,
are dismissed.
When are you sheep going to understand exactly what it is you are up against?
You think a tea party is going to stop this? Glen Beck?
There is only one way to stop this.
Wake up!!
These are the people who will be enforcing the martial law
During the food riots, after the dollar collapses!! (useful idiots… aka brownshirts, from a time just passed)
Irradicate them…before they irradicate you!!
Just another case that the Holder and the DOJ will sweep under the rug. Just like the New Black Panthers, ACORN and the Pigford Setlement.
Not until sometime after 12 Noon on January 20, 2013 will we see real justice be served – unfortunately, the statute of limitations will have run out on some of the cases, making them hard (if not impossible) to prosecute.
Shane…The term everyone knows is a progressive tactic….I think we are above that.
Anyone thinking that Unions represent labor and aren't the new communist party has had way to much koolaide.
I pity the worklload on Mr Issa's desk and pray for his safety daily.
SEIU members better purge themselves of their leadership before their leadership drags them into personally being part of a criminal conspiracy.
Is SEIU working with Hamas and FARC..?..
If not certainly they share the same political aspirations!
Yes. and with Obama. Obama is a foreign Muslim infilTRAITOR and should be prosecuted for TREASON…his associates also…
I pray it never comes to that. The left loves violence but they fear exposure and humiliation even more. Best to just humiliate them into non existence though my heart agrees with you I just can't see burning America to the ground just for people who are scum of the earth and the lowest of the low.
Enjoy your life as long as you can for who knows the day of his own death.
The only hope that is in these pro socialists like the SEIU is that there is no God and that their spirit goes back to the earth. Other wise they are in BIG trouble! Their troubled minds may show consequence in their lives if they believe there is a God and yet still pursue such folly.
They too will die, Let us all hope their ideas die with them.
I've NO DOUBT that these Union Thugs and "Workers of the World Unite" ARE involved in all of the current unrest going on around the planet. WHERE is Holder's UNJUSTICE Department now ??? What, trying to figure out how to get this to "go away" ??? Despicable, Anti-American Schmucks.
So is this why Andy Stern resigned as the leader of SEIU? I'm shocked that Holder hasn't been able to
quash this investigation. I have no doubt he's tried his best…
.
Reckon all the smiling fools in the pic above are aware of their little orgs connections to terrorism?
And BTW, what the HELL is the "Black Belt South"?
The politicians who were offered bribes and favors are going to court…They were susposed to divulge that information to the F.B.I. as soon as possible and didn't. They are now very quiet, as someone "hushed them up".
Obama could very well be drawn into this mess.

That's God's Plan acdg to the scriptures. However, His N.T. Believers will be evacuated from the coming 7 year destructions.
After it's over, we return with Him and build His Kingdom of God society which lasts for 1,000 years. Democracy will be gone forever, never to return.
Unions had a good cause in the beginning. However, they were hi-jacked by the Progressive Party which was Socialist.
Unions need to have a Prayer Committee. That's legal and OK to do. You see, there is no separation between Church and Union.
Work is not a right…It is a biblical duty….a command.
Pray them out with Psalms Chapter 109.
When you combine this article with this one, it becomes even scarier. http://www.redstate.com/laborunionreport/2011/01/...
Wow, I'm shocked that this wasn't all over the MSM. Just kidding! No I'm not.
When you combine this story with this one, http://www.redstate.com/laborunionreport/2011/01/... it gets even worse.
Actually they were hi-jacked directly by the communists BEFORE they started calling themselves progressives.
The jackboot in the red beret says it all. Look at the smirk on his face.
Don't forget the Chicago CRX scandal which involved obama directly but no one is seeing fit to even investigate let alone prosecute.
I don't promote the use of violence, BUT I do advocate being prepared. If someone starts shooting I'm willing and able to defend my family.
Please urge the members of Congress to resist with all possible efforts this administration's attempts at ANY gun control. If you disarm the citizens the government will no longer fear them. AND this government NEEDS to fear it's people, it's that only check left.
In case you haven't noticed MS, odd name BTW and not befitting any America loving patriot, the public would be up against something bigger then they are.
I would highly doubt that the union minions are knowledgeable on ANYTHING their bosses do. Union minions are almost always VERY under educated individuals and they have ZERO desire to inform themselves on anything. All they're good for is striking when their bosses tell them to other than that they aren't good for much at all.
Okay, should anyone be surprised? Probably not. The real concern here is what, at this time, can the FBI do in prosecuting these people and exposing this network of anti-American activity, being that the president administration can put a hold on investigations at any time.
Investigations of these relationship problems, in some fashion, should be taken up by the Republican House, where impeachment hearings begin.
I wouldn't put it past that tool Trumpka or whatever his assinine name is. They are nothing more than greedy fools that don't care about the financial crisis America is in.
Well, they've certainly adopted Hamas' tactics.
Oh Hell yes! These organizations are birds of a feather, and 53% of this country fell for the con in “08, thanks again John McCain, Barry’s a good guy…vomit!
Simply put, YES….
I pray for the day they frog-march that POS out of the Whitehouse…..
So Unions good, corporations bad.
Someone please tell me of a union that does NOT promote Communism or any other anti-Constitutional or individual rights stealing dogma? Of course, I mean not Communistic in any way other than their very structure and existence?
The cancer in this country just keeps getting worse. I'm not shocked terrorist groups are attracted to the collectivists — this is serious stuff.
Terrorists and unions … this is like the Two Towers uniting.
"I would highly doubt that the union minions are knowledgeable on ANYTHING their bosses do."
Thanks for making my point, Kit. Moral of this story to teachers UNION members…, WATCH OUT!!!
There are hidden agendas everywhere, better know what you're really protesting for.
Seems to me since the Dems are so enamored with regulation, it's time we regulated these UNIONS
plumb out of existence!!!
.
Disband the SEIU!
One tip off is that they are obama's buddies! They are destroying our economy and stealing our freedoms. They are rounding up Illegals to create obama's new Army. Disband them.
Shane once again you seem to be simply irritating to some. Such the pity as a person who has dealt with advertising, constant repetition or "imprints" is how one achieves being part of the psychological background. Please dont stop.The message is a simple one and an important one.
me, too. good on ya, mate!
I wondered that myself, It seems to be in vogue now. I picked up in background noise (unrelated) someone else was refusing to go to a grand jury. I always thought their supeona power was unquestioned?
Black belt south is the area just south of Hollywood where all the TV Ninjas live
nice stuff. I suppose unions will be able to set the quality and number of latrines on fire bases too. (blood oozing out my eyes)
We'll be lucky to survive until the next election…
Arm up, it's coming my friend…..
When all else fails
I am curious what role, if any, teacher's unions play in the selection of textbooks….or is that now bein handled by ACORN?
Sooooo many punch lines, sooooo little time.
It is, and if they get pissed enough they can issue a Show Cause and have the individual jailed until he changes his mind.
When were the unions ever not part of the Communist movement? Haven't you noticed that everywhere bu the US Labor Day is May 1?
Not a surprise. Communists are linked domestically and globally. Knock off a group of leaders and likes shark's teeth others just roll forward to continue revolution. The entire organization has to be destroyed. An Executive order allows government money and permission for these entities to function. Executive order of a new President in 2012 will significantly curtail their activities.
"it's time we regulated these UNIONS
plumb out of existence"
That's a cause I could get behind.
Thanks Bohemond I couldn't remember the mechanics I knew their was a reason they called it a GRAND jury. I beleive they are also citizen juries are they not?
History repeats itself. I figure we're up to 1855 right now. Civil War in another 5 years.
You can count on Holder to protect them.
Nov 2010 and Nov 2012. That is the answer.
WAKE UP ANDREW MARCUS! You're sugar coating it — we have marxists in our government who are supported by violent street marxists, who have in turn, allied themselves with muslim terrorists and every other crackpot nihilistic movement from the Greens, the Anarchists, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Nation of Islam and the NBPP — which are black nationalists. The Nation of Islam is just that —- they want their own independent muslim black nation within the USA.
We also know through FBI informants "community organizers" have gone to Venezuela where Hugo Chavez gives them support and encourages them to go back and take up arms against the USA. We know that Cuban and special forces types have come across our Southern border to infiltrate the USA. We know the marxists Bill Ayers and the Pink Ladies are involved with the Muslim brotherhood and the flotillas, and that CAIR is the front for the MB and has ingratiated itself to this Administration. The Pink Ladies even delivered a private message from Hamas to Obama. Obama has a marxist background and he openly teamed with Chavez to support the attempted marxist takeover of Honduras by Zelaya.
The marxists are in the highest levels in our government and have teamed with every violent element and let them run viral through our institutions. That is what we're up against.
.
right-on brother. open invitation to all still stands. "you are with Me or against Me". It's not too late to get on the J-train. Believe & Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Make sure you investigate them before they were even born!
These people are tied with various terrorist groups, not just HAMAS.
Throw ISM, SJP and probably ANSWER into the mix.
Here is your shopping list of radical Pro-Gaza groups that support the defendants.
This little petition is posted all over these groups websites. http://clubs.bard.edu/ism/?p=28
The groups are working in tandem under the ANSWER COALITION
ANSWER had a protest on Jan 25 regarding the FBI "repression" http://www.answercoalition.org/sf/news/jan-25-pro...
The DOJ will sweep this under the carpet.
Now now. Disbanding the SSEIU and other unions, which took over the role as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party from the Ku Klux Klan, will leave the democrats without street representation for the first time since the late 1860s.
Oops, that's right – democrats still have MS-13, Bloods, Crips, and the street gangs. Street representation assured.
This is why we need to have our senators support Sen. Jim DeMint's (S.C.) Secret Ballot Protect Act to counter any card check scheme. Go to http://demint.senate.gov to read more about the Secret Ballot Protect Act.
Is SEIU Working With Hamas And FARC?
"Does it take two to tango?"
"Was Abe Lincoln Honest?"
SEIU is Hamas and FARC. They are all Satanic terrorist groups out to kill Jews and Christians.
Just wait until SEIU finds out that there are no homosexuals in the muz. Hmm hmm hmm
You know SEIU might have ties to terrorist. We already know that Code Pink supports the terrorist in Iraq with our tax dollars. Jimmy Carter calls HAMAS his friends.
Haha. Good one Lord Regent! I enjoyed that. They always have been thugs of the highest order.
From the State of the Union bogus address from the marxist muslim, that has invaded our White House, to the Unions getting themselves waivers from ObamaCare, their days are numbered.
Bring on the subpoenas and remove this bozo and his admin. from office and they can take their union thugs with him. Otherwise they will face the same fate as Hosni Mubarak!
I called some of these UNIONS and asked: WHERE WERE YOU WHEN AMERICAN WORKERS JOBS WERE BEING SOLD OUT FROM UNDER THEM????(FREE TRADE) Now i read that CHINESE WORKERS are coming here to set up little villages in EVERY part of the country —To make things and sell what they make here! YES, WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT!!!!!!
How much more evidence do we need against the usurper-in-chief???????
Yeah, but maybe you have to be a card-carrying marxist just to belong to SEIU……so why would they care?
"Obama could very well be drawn into this mess"….One could only hope…..
No one should expect any Holder/Obama justice department to investigate this. Or to even see it reported in the New York Slimes, the Washington Compost and especially not the Obama network, aka PMSNBC.
Is SEIU involved with terrorists? Is Chris Matthews tingly? Is Obama left-handed? Is Pelosi a walking prune?
It is much more than that. It is a lifetime of vigilance, and a willingness to preserve freedom. This is a struggle that will not end. November 2010 and 2012 are only the beginning of the beginning of the war. I notice this of Americans when they think they have won, they tend to get comfy and relaxed and take their collective eye off the ball. This is going to requre focus that goes beyond the concept of multi-generational.
Probably the one in the middle , the one with his tie outside of his jacket.
And McCain still maintains the fuhrer is a good guy !
Only this time , the slaves ARE the American people , and the slaves will be the ones the government is trying to vanquish.
I went to their website , and I was not pleased.
Pamela Geller just reported that Obamao gave almost a billion $ to Hamas terrorist organization. I know that a few million was given to CAIR, allegedly out of the stimulus funds; also where the Hamas money came from. Now that it seems SEIU is tied to Hamas, how much of that money is being laundered and flows back to the administration?
Wasn't there a book – I think it was called The Manchurian President – that details Obamao's ties to these organizations?
That Stern is a prick. I hope they all get theirs.
The Reds today operate on a coordinated worldwide basis just as they did in the 1920's, '30's, 40's….up to the present. On my first full day with the Agency 30 yrs ago my training class was told about "Project Venona." Venona was a long term operation to crack Soviet coded messages intercepted during the 1940's. The information gained from Venona was far reaching. For headline news, Venona led to the arrest and conviction of the Rosenbergs, the the husband and wife spy team that gave the Russians the nuclear bomb. Of greater importance to today, Venona revealed that several key members of the US delegation to the UN that helped write the UN charter were fully recruited agents for the Soviets. One became the first Secretary General of the UN. It clearly showed the FDR and Truman administrations were full Americans who were agents of Soviet intelligence. The common thread of all these traitors was that they had either been members of the Communist party or attempted to join the party and were turned away with a suggestion from party members that there was a better way they could help the revolution.
Venona was declassified in the early 1990's. At the same time the Soviet Union fell. As a gesture of good will and to show the wolrd that the new Russian government was no longer Red, the archives of the Communist Party USSR (CPUSSR) were opened to review by international scholars. Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, ended that access when he came to power, but while it lasted, a treasure trove of information was available. Piecing that data with the results of Venona and it was easy to read a 70 year history of how the Communist Party in Russia acted as the orchestra leader of a worldwide web of espionage and subversion. Reds around the world acted in a cooperative effort. The Greens in Europe, an outgrowth of the anti-war movement were part of this as were a number of the anti-war groups here in the US.
A key program/project of the CPUSSR was the deliberate and methodical undermining of the patriotic and moral fiber of the US. Starting in the 1920's and lasting to the end of the Soviet Union, Reds in the US were directed to denigrate such things as the Founding Fathers, attack Christianity and Judaism, attack the image of the Boy Scouts, berate and belittle the military, promote racial tension, stress the existence of economic injustice, etc. They sent the Communist Party USA a list of objectives every year and from the 1920's to 1990 the core items never changed. These objectives became the mantra of the party members and "fellow travelers" (progressive sympathizers).
When you look at the members of the Communist Party and the fellow travelers in the '40's, '50's and '60's, and see who there were and where those people are today (the ones from the '60's are still around in positions of power and influence) and their children, it is easy to understand what they believe and how they act in unison with their international Red brethren. It is also easy to understand how the US of 30 or 40 years ago is so radically different today. When Nikita Khrushchev pounded his shoe on a desk at the UN and told the American people that their grandchildren would be communists he was referring to the CPUSSR's long term effort to subvert America. The actions of SEIU, Tom Hayden (former leader of the SDS and member of the California state legislature), Dear Leader Obama and the millions of Red/Progressive minions, are all a result of a long coordinated plan to destroy America….and unfortunately my friends it is working. The prediction of Chairman Khrushchev is coming true and many of the grandchildren he spoke about are indeed communists.
A post like yours gives me pause there mallsniper. "There is only one way to stop this?" Are you advocating the use of armed deadly force to stop this? You don't say it outright but your words go right up to the line as if to bait someone here to take that bait and write something something explicitly blatant. Thus you leave me and a few others here to conclude you are either someone who is not smart enough to work toward alternate solutions and sees violence as the only legitimate response or you are some dirtbag trolling Fed from the FBI, DHS, ATF etc trying to identify and/or entrap. Either/Or, you have much to learn and your ignorance OR your surveillance tactics leave me serious pause for concern.
Birds of a feather……
I seem to recall hearing that you can tell a lot about a person by his friends.
Horsehockey!
This is what happens when you "trust" a subspecie with the keys to the car.
Amen brother. If you want to learn about the history of how this started read everything you can about Project Venona, a declassified CIA/NSA project that cracked Soviet coded messages in the 1940's. In the early 1990's, right after Venona was declassified the Russian government opened the archives of the Communist Party USSR to scholars for research. When you see who the reds were in the 40's and 50's see who their kids and grandkids are today. Just as you learned to love America from your family as you grew up they learned to hate America.
By the way, Castro has been infiltrating people and stockpiling weapons in the US since the 1970's. The Reds have been methodically planning and preparing for America's downfall for a very long time.
Barry Husein is a good guy…..a Dear Leader.
A Black America where whites are forced out of the South. Isn't that what HUD is doing now in New Orleans and Parts of the Gulf Coast? Really come on folks. Here is a great idea since this is what these clowns really want: Give them Louisiana 100% and lets have 100% of the whites leave. They cannot receive any U.S/ Foreign aide at all. Best of all, we can close off the boarders to Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and lets see what happens. Does Nigeria ring a bell. Or how about Liberia?
Result will be even if the United States gave this entity billions, Supreme Wealth and extreme Poverty. And this group really wants the United States to fall apart. If they hate this country that much, leave and go back to your native countries. Personally, I would not want to go back to Scotland or England. They all talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the roads.
Seiu is a very dangerous organization and everyone should be cautious. They came after me along with Acorn in 1998-99 and I was nearly killed. They ran the Police Union and the Lawyers in Louisiana are criminals. I lost everything. I can only guess who their first President would be, Al Sharpton

Wow! You might want to rethink your approach. The use of violence, as you suggest, is not a good approach. Anarchy would be the rule. Good Americans will not resort to such activities.
This is what Democrats mean when they say "helping working families."
The enemies of America flutter to and fro within the democrat party…and now that America is quite infiltraited, broke and without energy, Obama turns his CarterFlute on Egypt…Obama AKvomit…consequences will not be relieved for him…push back until He is sentenced and retired…
Unions = affirmative action for whites and blacks. thugs and thieves in obungle's pocket.
This is shocking, but we shouldn't really be surprised any more.
Obama's friend for many years is Rashid Khalidi, former spokesman for the PLO.
Look at reports from Egypt. Obama talked to the Muslim Brotherhood early 2009 (Hamas is Palestinian Mus Brotherhood). Obama talked to el-Baradei, el-Baradei erased damning information from IAEA reports about Iran when Baradei was head.
What next? An uprising in Columbia, or is this just helping Iran to Islamise Mexico and train the drug cartels to attack America?
Back in the late 1970's my father was a union organizer for the SEIU down in California. He organized the county and city workers, and was very successful at it, getting better wages, benefits, and working conditions for thousands (maybe tens of thousnads) of people in the local area there. But when he started to see corruption in the SEIU (including violence in the organization), and started to protest it, they fired him, despite the fact that he was a very good union organizer, and promoted the union very successfully.
I was hoping they'd changed since then. Sadly, if this story is true, they haven't.
Not only the unions, but the state department were training the terrorists to overthrow Mubarrack as one terrorist bragged. http://israelstreams.com/i.html?http://www.telegr...
I really like this site, its such a nice site.
