OWS Political Street Art: The 'Let Them Eat Pepper Spray' Edition
(click to enlarge)
I don't know how this one got by me for so long. It looks like it's been up for a while. Harkening back to the salad days of Occupied Zucotti Square it seems the poor little OWS pests felt that Nanny Bloomberg was hard too hard on them. Really? Bloomie gave them the keys to the city lock, stock and barrel. Run amok for months, they cost the taxpayer untold millions of dollars in lost business, closed businesses, garbage clean up, and 24-hour-a-day policing.
All that time and money, for what?
And how incredible is it that now we can't even have a parade for our returning soldiers.
CAIR NY Press Conference at City Hall: Calls for Investigations and Firings After Film "The Third Jihad" Used in NYPD Training
CAIR-NY held a press conference at City Hall this morning with a list of demands, among them calling for the firing of New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and NYPD Spokesman Paul Browne.
They also demanded that Eric Holder investigate the NYPD for the use of an anti-Islamic jihad documentary film, "The Third Jihad." The full-length documentary which opens with a disclaimer which states that only a small percentage of the world's Muslims are radical, details many terrorist attacks including the horrific 2004 slaughter in Beslan. It was produced by The Clarion Fund in 2007 warning against the dangers of violent Islamic jihad and was recently shown to cadets at the New York City Police Department playing in a continuous loop in a sign-in area of NYPD counterterrorism training sessions.
Ray Kelly appeared in the film for less than a minute. CAIR is demanding that Kelly be fired as well as NYPD Spokesman Paul Browne for denying NYPD involvement.
Here is a 30-minute clip from "The Third Jihad" below.
On top of everything else, CAIR is also demanding the "re-training" of the 1,489 police cadets who saw the film because they were obviously "poisoned" by it.
After witnessing mass murder when the World Trade Center burned and collapsed in 2001 and watching the past 10 years of global Islamic terrorism spill oceans of blood across the earth, I fail to see how insensitive this is. Zuhdi Jasser is even in it, for cripes sake! How does CAIR expect us to train our law enforcement to fight terrorism? Should we just show pillow fights between Mormons and Girl Scouts so no one gets 'offended'? Here's an idea, CAIR - how about just start broadcasting to Americans the daily TV programs from the middle east that depict Jews and Christians as apes and pigs? Or the ones that instruct children to blow themselves up in order to kill as many infidels as possible.
My videos from the press conference are uploading now.. please stand by. LOTS more to come...
In the first of several videos to come, the press conference begins...
In the next must-see video below, City Council Member Jumaane Williams announces that next Friday, Feb. 3rd there will be a massive public Islamic prayer in the streets of downtown Manhattan, followed by a rally and a march on NYPD Headquarters.
More VIDEOS coming up!
CAIR grievance mongering begins with Cyrus McGoldrick, CAIR Civil Rights Manager:
Shahid Farooqi from ICNA, 'The Islamic Circle of North America'
Rev. Chloe Breyer, of the 'Interfaith Center of New York' likens the film to Japanese internment during World War II
Noel Leader from '100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care'
Imam Hajj Talib Abdur Rashid of the 'Mosque of the Islamic Brotherhood of New York'
More videos of the speakers demanding heads to roll are posted over at my YouTube page.
(click to enlarge) How sad that is all took place in the very shadow of our World Trade Center being rebuilt. You can see the Freedom Tower going up between the buildings.
Spotted this bit of spray-painted graffiti this morning. It struck me as funny because advocating indiscriminate general massacre would also have to include the spray-painter. Maybe the sprayer is a card-carrying member of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.
Naturally it goes without saying that one can't just set about killing all unless one first attacks.
While out and about in my trendy, hipster wacko neighborhood all sorts of things catch my eye so I grab a quick shot and save them for later. Many are of a political nature but most are just arty and those tend to be generally very weird or not safe for work. The political ones don't always make it into posts but they are kind of amusing.
The one above I noticed this morning was posted on a mailbox by someone who hates the police.
The one of the 'End the Fed' variety is recent and very rare around these parts. It has since been taken down.
This '99%'er apparently lives in a very nice building in what is now quite an expensive area to live in.
Still posted in a local bookstore window. Money talks too much? I guess so.. OWS is broke!
Is this street art supposed to be Obama or Mandela? Or both? Is the 'Chairman' a reference to Mao? Kind of a grab bag of sorts. Very weather worn at this point.
Could even be Jimmy Carter's squint.
At first glance I though this was Obama. It turned out to be Putin and has since faded into the sidewalk.

Spotted this on the subway today downtown at the City Hall station and it made me smile. I had to grab a quick shot before my train came. Sorry it's a little blurry!
Political Street Art: The Thomas Jefferson Edition
(Click to enlarge)
Well, this certainly was an odd surprise today since my neighborhood isn't exactly known as Tea Party central.
Street art quoting Thomas Jefferson in the blame-America-first, Leftist hipster zone that is Williamsburg, Brooklyn?
Now I've seen everything.
Either there's another conservative that is also an artist living here in Obama County--the chances of which are fatally slim, or quoting our founding fathers is now 'hip.'
Went for a nice winter day mountain hike upstate today in Woodstock and saw this large sign posted in front of someone's house on a busy road. UGH!
A reminder that the spring will return in just a short couple of months and once again the city streets will be filled with hoards of drum banging OWS psychos.
Occupy Wall Street in 2011 & The Racist Rager from Occupy Wall Street Responds
Proud parent my eye! I wonder how proud they are now that their angry, stinky little darlings are re-occupying their basements and peppering them with legal bills.
Well, it's certainly been a helluva a year. The OWS Cult has certainly kept everyone busy, especially us bloggers. I am in the company of many, many outstanding citizen journalists who did what the mainstream media refuses to do -- Tell the Truth.
It was the gift that kept giving, if by 'gift' you mean the deaths, rapes, assaults, diseases, and the astronomical financial cost to the cities they infested for months.
It was the year I finally got Drudged. The video I shot at Zucotti Square of the OWS zombies repeating 'You can have sex with animals' at a human mic session landed me a coveted Drudge link right above Kanye West's photo.
Now at over 100,000 views and counting, and having been taken off and back on again at Youtube the subject has actually created his own video response. He's been crying for attention for being 'edited' and 'maligned'. Or maybe he just wants to blame his parents.
So here it is folks. A journey to the center of his mind.
Come along if you care Come along if you dare Take a ride to the land inside of your mind ...
Happy New Year to all of my wonderful readers! 2012 is gonna be one for the books.
Manhattan Mini Storage Loves Gay Marriage & Hates Herman Cain
While on the FDR Drive in lower Manhattan the other day I saw these huge banners hung outside one of the Manhattan Mini Storage buildings. One faces north, the other south. You can't miss them.
I didn't have my camera with me so I went back to get a few shots. The utter, screaming hypocrisy is completely lost on them. Unproven allegations against Herman Cain - bad; gay marriage - good.
Their previous ads have attacked Bush, Cheney, Palin, the Tea Party and even used coat hangers in a pro-abortion ad for storage units. The schtick is usually a storage related joke with a jab at conservatives, but in Rick Perry's case they skipped the storage part and just plain call him crazy. Their gay marriage ad has no joke either. I guess the execs at Manhattan Mini Storage take gay marriage very, very seriously.
When the gay divorces start rolling in the need for mini storage will skyrocket.
UPDATE! 12/29/11 The magnificent iOwnTheWorld has honored my Manhattan Mini Storage photos with a caption contest! And, they asked me to be the judge for the Top 10 Manhattan Mini Storage Ad Awards. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy. So many good ones, you gotta go over there and check it out. And,.. wait for it... there will be prizes for the 10 Finalists!
So without further ado, here are the winners. In no particular order except for the First Prize which has been bestowed upon the comment in red. Congratulations everyone on a job well done.

IF YOU MUST LIVE IN A CITY WITH AS MANY WORTHLESS CRETINS AS NEW YORK HAS, WOULDN'T YOU FEEL BETTER KNOWING YOU HAVE A STORAGE UNIT FULL OF FOOD, SUPPLIES, AND AMMO CLOSE BY?
You have to rent it to see what's in it. -- Nancy Pelosi
Get your units before the NY Times puts their office furniture in here!
More secure than Holder's job.

I stopped by Zucotti Square this morning and was happily surprised to see the place completely cleaned out. Other than the continued beefed-up police presence and barricades that fully encircle the park to keep the Marxist Occupiers from returning, it looked pretty normal.
Just a few tourists milling around, and a small stream of gawkers strolling by checking out the scene that is no more.
There was a very small and insignificant band of OWS cultists in attendance. But the tents, mind-numbing drumming, and disgusting odors were gone.
A cop I spoke with said that the barricades and police presence were going to be a semi-permanent fixture until further notice. The owners of the park also hired their own private security patrol.
There was even a family taking photos in front of the park Christmas tree.
The shantytown is gone, but the place will forever be a magnet for political street theater. Like this fellow who is a retired Philadelphia police officer.
It is a far, far cry from the Bloomberg-created nightmare that it was. But for some reason it felt tense and unsettled, like the place was bracing itself for another onslaught of insanity.
Manhattan Mini Storage Really, REALLY Hates Rick Perry
(click to enlarge)
On the way upstate today for a Christmas visit I noticed this billboard for Manhattan Mini Storage. It is right at the entrance to the Holland Tunnel in Manhattan which goes to New Jersey. I managed to grab this shot entering the tunnel in a moving car.
I was already aware of andblogged about their subway ad campaign with the jab at Perry. But a whole billboard downtown? Seriously? The going price for a billboard in the city has got to be at least $100,000.00 or more. Why the overkill on Perry? Is it about his faith? Why not go after Romney, or Gingrich? Or, hey! How about that Ron Paul?
And how many New Yorkers or Jersey-ites do they think would even vote for Rick Perry? Maybe I'm weird, but personally, given an absolute choice right now at this very moment between the current Occupier of the White House and Perry, I'd go for Perry.
If Manhattan Mini Storage were really clever they could come up with at least a hundred storage rental jokes about Barack the Lazy and his wife, the Fist Lady.
I never post emails but from disgruntled readers but this one really takes the cake.
Last night I was giving 'em hell on the OWS Day of Action Riot livestream chat when this little ditty drops into my inbox from an Occupy Wall Street drone dubbed 'Amber Sands' at am.persand@mail.com.
Originating IP Address: 74.208.5.67
Please stop spreading lies about the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
Do not Troll Livesteam feed.
You have our attention.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
Isn't that nice?
Well, Mr. 'Amber Sands' here's some news for you. I'm glad I have your attention now because I, along with the civilized world, watched what you did to my city last night. And what I saw was repulsive. I don't need to tell lies about OWS, the horror script with you guys just seems to write itself. It's getting to be almost old hat to recount the daily OWS rapes, deaths, suicides, assaults, thefts, hypodermic needles and human waste running in rivers in our city streets.
So now you can add paralyzing New York City traffic, shutting down bridges and subways packed with honest citizens just assuming their lives, chasing down little grade school children and assaulting police officers.
Press Conference: New Yorkers and Local Business Owners Against OWS Zucotti Square Squatters
Tonight I went to the press conference for New York businesses against OWS Zucotti Square on the steps of City Hall.
A group of local business owners and residents organized a press conference to express their thoughts on evicting the squatters currently occupying Zucotti Square. Over the last two months the zoo-like atmosphere, the crime, the drumming, the garbage, the smell and lawbreaking has cost local businesses nearly $500,000.00 and workers are being laid off.
Coming up! Lots of video uploading. You don't want to miss these!
The below woman is the organizer of the press conference. She said she is hiding her identity out of fear of retribution from the OWS organization and the occupying squatters.
A handful of Zucotti-dwelling OWS cult members were also there to monitor and spin for the media. VIDEOS coming up!
Strange but true, some of the OWS cult members actually had the nerve to give her a hard time because she was wearing a mask.
This man represents a local restaurant that has been in business for 30 years. He explains how the Occupests have harmed his family-run business in the following two videos.
You gotta love his t-shirt!
In the below video, local business man Marc Epstein explains that because of the nearly 2-month long siege and the ensuing chaos and disruption from occupied Zucotti Square he has had to lay people off for the first time in his career.
The media was out in force and greatly outnumbered the people speaking at the press conference. The questions they asked the business owners were incredibly dumb. Like, "Why do you feel the occupied square is driving away business?" Really? What makes them 'think' this? Well, for starters try the filth, the smell, the rapes, assaults, people using the city streets as a toilet for two months. It's as if they never even bothered to go to Zucotti and take a look for themselves and report what is really happening.
UPDATE Tuesday, 11/15: This morning at about 1:00 AM Eastern, the cops finally cleared the mob and their disgusting mess out of Zucotti Square. It's about time!
More video coming right up! Stand by..
The man below works in finance during the day and volunteers nights as a bouncer for a local coffee shop across the street from Zucotti Square. He describes his experiences to the throng of reporters and an OWS Occupest tries to heckle him.
In the below video, OWS cult member attempts a response to the plight of the local businesses that have been damaged by the occupiers of Zucotti Square.
It is worth noting that after the interview he said that prior to illegally occupying Zucotti Square, he occupied his mother’s basement.
In the below video clip he and another male-bodied OWS cultist makes fun of the press conference organizer's mask.
