#OWS Street Art: The 'Can You Guess What the Occupest Is Doing?' Edition

(click to enlarge)

I came across this odd bit of OWS art scrawled in blue ballpoint pen on a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper taped to a wall of an old warehouse building about to be demolished. I took a few shots, filed it under 'look at it later' and here I am still wondering what the little masked Occubrat is doing.

Is he starting a fire? Is he throwing urine or feces?
Or is he about to lob a grenade?


You decide.

OWS Street Art: The Bomb n' Change Edition

(click to enlarge)
Spotted this today in my lamentable neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn--or as I like to call it, The Village of the Damned. The OWS cult has taken root here because nothing says anarchy like $9,000.00 a month rent and organic soy lattes.

If I had to dig down really deep, the only good thing I can possibly say is that at least they are finally being honest about this violent movement.



It could be a great new campaign logo for Barack Hussein Obama 2012 courtesy of #OWS. I'm sure his buddy Bill Ayers would love it.

NYPD Using Obama-Approved Drones

(click to enlarge)
 I saw this today and at first I thought it was a joke, but it isn't. The New York City Police Department now using Obama-approved drones for domestic surveillance.

Last Tuesday the Undocumented President signed a law that forces the FAA to "allow police and first responders to fly drones under 4.4 pounds" at an altitude of under 400 feet.

The Blaze picked up my post and has background on the story here:
Send In the Drones ... Don't Bother, They're Here.


* * * UPDATE 12/2012 - It turns out that this 'street sign' was not made by the New York City Police Department.  It was created by street artist, Essam Attia who I had rightly pegged early on as a 'rogue art school libertarian' after spotting a number of examples of his stenciled series of Thomas Jefferson quotes earlier this year in Brooklyn.  
Attia was recently arrested for other satirical NYPD drone posters that appeared throughout the city in November which caused the Mayor and the police embarrassment. Shown in his videotaped interview with Animal New York are shots of of the NYPD drone activity sign and the stencils of his Jefferson quotes are against the wall of his studio in the background.

An Evening with Paul Weston, Chair of the British Freedom Party

Last night I attended a private reception in Manhattan arranged by Brigitte Gabriel's ACT for America for Paul Weston, the Chair of the newly formed British Freedom Party.
Following in the footsteps of Geert Wilders' Freedom Party of the Netherlands, Mr. Weston's goals are to counteract the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in Britain.

His platform consists of:
  • Stopping Muslim immigration to the Britain for a period of years.
  • Repairing the damage done to the nation's education system.
  • Tackle the growth in crime.
  • Promote British values and culture.

Much of what he said last night here on free U.S. soil if spoken in England would result in arrest and prosecution in his homeland. Hell, there's even a fatwa against curved bananas because they resemble a crescent and therefore insults Islam, so straight bananas only are allowed. Yes, that's just how completely insane it has become. We do not want this happening here--or anywhere else in the free world.

I shot several videos of his talk which focused on the problems of mass immigration and multiculturalism in Britain and Europe. Apologies for the camera on the table, 'spy' point of view but the audio is good. Besides, blogging is just that way sometimes--you gotta plunk your camera down anywhere you can and let it roll.

There's a lot of interesting stuff here, so please sit back and enjoy.

CPAC 2012

(click to enlarge)

Sarah Palin came out a little while before her speech to say hello to fellow CPAC goers. Yes, I was that close! It was quite a crowd of people but it was great to see her. She is gorgeous in person.


(click to enlarge)

I expected to see a throng of OWS thugs mobbed around the hotel where the conference was taking place but it looked like the police had cleared them out. There were no disruptions except for the outburst of the #OWS battle cry; 'mic check!' at Palin's speech. If you haven't seen it already there's video coming up.




VIDEOS: Sarah Palin comes out to say hello!



She is amazing!



This was only part of the line waiting to get in to see Sarah's speech. She drew a packed house--standing room only.

(click to enlarge)



All in all, it was a great day and I got to meet a lot of really cool people. Even had a book signed by John Bolton!

Future U.S. Secretary of State? One can only hope!!

Chris Matthews looked as though he'd been through hell.

MORE VIDEO and PHOTOS TO COME!


I spotted these two guys in the lobby and grabbed a couple of shots right before both their signs were quickly taken away. At first glance I thought they might be OWS crashers, but I didn't get to speak with them so I don't know what their story was.

Here's the sign being taken away by security.


* * *

Great Joke at CPAC: Kevin Jackson on a CPAC Tea Party panel said "the Occupy movement has him madder than Janet Napolitano's blind date."



Afterward in the cab to Union Station I caught this small band of Occupiers about a block away. You can hear them being heckled by some people leaving CPAC.

#OWS Graffiti: Puns 'Intented' & I'm Going to CPAC 2012!


Here's some of the latest from the #OWS Williamsburg bitter clingers. It just strikes me so funny because this silly neighborhood now has rents in the $5,000.00 to $10,000.00-a-month range and luxury condos going for millions.

Anyway, the good news is that I'm going to
CPAC 2012 on Saturday!
It will be my first time there, so I'm pretty excited.

And it also looks like the #OWS DC mob has threatened physical violence against anyone attending the conference with disruptions and various other tantrums. Well, that's fine by me. Because there's nothing I love more than to post photos of these idiots on my blog.

So, please stay tuned... I'll be on an express train before dawn Saturday morning headed straight into it.

Disinformation Graffiti: The Anti-Truth Edition

(click to enlarge)

I came across this bit of graffiti in my daily travels in Williamsburg today. How clever these monstrous little beasts are! Mocking the catch-phrase slogan of one of last lines of defense against Islamic terrorism--citizens coming forward with tips on possible threats. I guess these idiots didn't lose anyone on 9/11, so it's all just one big joke. A punch line.

Additionally, and no less loathsome, attacking the truth is a long-loved tactic of the Left. They provide harbor, cover and comfort to our enemies.
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

#OWS May Day Agitprop

Ah ... SPRING!
When a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love
, ...
or mob rule in this case.


It's not spring just yet, but here in NY it sure feels like it and you can be assured that the angry street thugs will be out in force on May Day.

OWS Street Graffiti: Be The Crisis


Grabbed these shots yesterday.

Never too early to start planning for your next riot. May Day is coming so the OWS mob is probably readying their face masks and iPads and firing up their Facebook accounts.



"Everything for everyone."
Translation: 'We're going to throw a tantrum because we want your stuff.'


And seriously, WTF???
This is part of a street mural ad by the animated cartoon channel, Adult Swim. It's a large mural painted right smack in the middle of the main drag. I just threw it in as a visual. It all kind of works together. Malevolent immaturity.

UPDATE: Wednesday 2/1 @ 3:35 PM!
I just walked by again and literally overnight the Adult Swim mural was painted over by the OWS cult. I guess they related to the ski-masked, underwear-clad mascot.




UPDATE: Thursday, 2/2
That was quick!
The mural has been restored.
The advertising fees for Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg must be pretty steep.
