#Occupy Manipulates the Media, the Public and the English Language in Squatting Scandal Strategy Session
by Lee StranahanAn e-mail exchange detailing a conference call between members of the Occupy Wall Street media team exposes the level of coordination happening to attempt to save face over a recent New York Post story that exposed how Occupy had taken over a foreclosed home despite the owner’s wishes. Almost concurrently with Big Government’s report on the story yesterday, the #Occupy media team was having a confab in crisis management that would make any Fortune 500 company blush.
The media team takes a smart strategy and realizes that attacking the owner of the house directly is probably a bad move. However, behind the scenes they can’t help trashing him and calling him dishonest…
“Post story, owner made several claims, most of them false. Says OWS won’t let him into his house.”
Despite this insult, the back-and-forth reveals that there are actually negotiations going on back-and-forth between Wide’s attorney and Occupy Wall Street.
1. Premo: one question – meghan hasn’t been able to get in touch with Wise’s lawyer since the new year? El: don’t think she’s been trying actively to get in touch with him. Now that the article has come out that changes the negotiation.
2. [ed note: this line blank in original email]
3. El: the last meeting did go well, Wise wasn’t there but his lawyer was. Lawyer agreed to speak with Wise about working with us, agreed that the best solution would be to work with us to transition it to a community land trust, and fight the banks to reduce his debt so that he can become a home owner again.
Will the public and the lenders be made aware that there is a behind the scenes shakedown via media exposure being worked out here? The homeowner is trying to play on sympathy to get back his foreclosed property and Occupy Wall Street wants to gain positive media exposure, even though they were squatting in someone else’s private property.
Oh, wait. The Occupy Wall Street media team is smart enough to ban the use of the word squatting to describe their squatting. Media team member Premo says;
messaging…never use the word squatting when reporters come to the house
This is another example of how Occupy Wall Street is far from the “spontaneous” gathering that many in the press of try to make it out to be. It’s a media savvy operation with calculated messaging designed to hide their far left tactical agenda. They’re smart enough to realize that tactics like squatting which the left has used in Europe for many years probably won’t play with the middle class Americans that #OWS is so desperate to reach.

The Gun beats Words. The founding fathers knew it, that is why America has a Second Amendment.
Americans have the Right to defend themselves, by force of Arms if need be, Americans have that Right In Law.
Whoever coined the phrase that the Pen was mightier than the Sword never owned a Sword.
Good point, but I've seen more collateral damage from a pen…..
Why negotiate with these idiots – Better to record these shakedown attempts and release them to the public as a matter of course. That way they defeat themselves.
This whole story is getting crazier and crazier. Is it odd that I'm having flashes of the red takeover of China in all of this?
"Were taking houses back"
This of course totally assumes they had the houses to begin with.
This should be a powerful lesson to the " lenders"
When you deal with the DEVIL ( GOVT. ) you get BURNED
This is what you get when you attempt to negotiate with terrorists who promise not to hurt the hostage so long as you pay them ransom…
Lock 'em up, stop playing nice with these thugs, this is private property for God's sake!
and that old saying still rings true, " the pen is mightier than the sword"
"Those who beat their swords into ploughshares will end up plowing for those who do not."
Esp. when wielded by politicians.
" Were taking houses back" That's a great idea punk. Get a fu***** job and pay for it!
pretty much the only reason we're even having this conversation is because the leftist, statist establishment media cannot be counted on the report the truth about all this. without massive media complicity, the communist cluster___ that is the OWS movement wouldn't have lasted a week.
Especially….
It's often a coward's weapon….
That, it does, my friend…
Squatters of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your tents!
p.s. When reading that sign, did anyone else hear that damned Justin Timberlake song where he says "I'm bringin' sexy back?"
Great piece, Lee. It's reprehensible the "this is mine" mentatlity of #OWS. It's maddening knowing the MSM and the JournOlists are running interference. My heart goes out to this father and his two young daughters having to deal with this #&%@!.
Mega Mega Down Twinklies Maaaaan!
Taking houses back… She looks like she's still living with her Mommy, and going to junior high.
TAKING HOUSES BACK? Hey MORON, the bank owns the house until you pay off the mortgage! At least that's what anyone with a BRAIN knows. What's next, free cars? Free iphones? Remember these ows MORONS have the blessing of our MARXIST-IN-CHIEF and QUEEN nancy! Make sure all you voters remember that in November!

Ended in the blink of eye by the Gun…. If need be.
History has shown this to be the case
One of many examples…
There are too many to list…
Yes, if need be…
Well the unwashed occupy squatters have taken a page from the shake down artist extrodinair Jesse Jackson.Instead of shaking down bisiness they're shaking down homeowners.
The thing is we bailed the banks out with enough cash to pay all mortgage debts and furnish every citizen with 35,000 dollars. Now 3 years later we are in the same situation as 2008.
RON PAUL WAS RIGHT in 2003 when he predicted the housing crash.
RON PAUL 2012
Sounds familiar. Is he running for president or something?
Actually I'm losing sympathy for him. Why try to work with those thugs? It sucks to lose your home, but this need to cling to these homes is part of what is preventing the housing market from correcting itself. Let the house go, rent something and move on. I still find it astounding that the cops were the ones that told the owner about the squatters but did nothing go remove them from the property.
The same can be said about republicans and democrats.. But who cares about the truth?
watch fall of the republic pt 2 the presidency of barack h o b a ma. It details ins and outs of the banking scam that is the leverage against our nation.
Got news for all you "Pot" Paul OWS malcontents and anarchists…the ONLY ONES TAKING BACK HOUSES…ARE THE ONES WHO OWN THEM…NOT YOU!
Get it? You better! Now crawl back into your tents and get some rest you are going to need it!
Some-bodies parents (OWS creatins) should have taught them: "Stealing is wrong"!
Collusion to commit fraud….. nice.
Personally I couldn't negotiate with these punks and miscreantes. I can understand why the owner with two small children would, but as the saying goes, "If you don't stand from something, you'll fall for anything".
Doubt I see them attempt to occupy in my neck of the woods. But by God if they do I will take it upon myself to remove them – all.
Ummm sweety there with the sign, you look like you are heisting cars and doing drugs, not like you are taking back houses. Now go back home and make a new sign.
They got free phones for deadbeat people. And I've been wondering when the free cars are coming out. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/11_0...
I read some article and under the comments several OWS clowns were complaining the cost of timberland in the Northeast is 1600 bucks an acre. Lots of Whining against evil land barons! It's hilarious! I mean 1600 bucks isn't a small amount but it could be come by rather easy over a year. These clowns are too busy dropping 800 on an Ipad, 350 on Xbox, and 80 bucks a month on a data plan plus five bucks for coffee.
They aren't moving out to somewhere in Maine or wherever anyway even if land is free. Like some NYC lib wants to live 200 plus miles from asphalt, coffee shops, 300 dollar springstein tickets and Wi-Fi. If every hipster bought an acre prices would go up but again these clowns don't understand supply and demand or free markets.
They never even though once you acquire the land in the middle of nowhere no one is going to build a free house for them. Then there are things called taxes, quite high up there. Might have to drill a well and pay the utility company to run to your shack. No free ride.
