This is some bizarre shit. I pretty sure that not all the protests are being carried out in this fashion, but this strange call and response activity has been filmed in New York as well as Atlanta.
Incidentally, the older black gentleman to the right of the facilitaror with the mic is Rep John Lewis...elder civil rights statesman who had been invited to speak. However, the mind control 'facilitator' kept invoking the mindless, hopeless throng to echo chant until, finally, Rep Thompson said something like 'To hell with this shit' and left.This is some bizarre shit.

There probably are some racist individuals who would consider themselves Tea Party members or leaders. Michelle Bachmann has made some questionable statements that could be perceived as racist.
However I maintain that there really is no 'Tea Party' as in an official organization a sort of leadership from a few politicians who only decided to call themselves Tea Party candidates to ride a wave of legitimate grassroots populism.
***
Former U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Chairman Mary Frances Berry, a long-time prominent liberal activist, has admitted in an interview with Politico that the left is trying to smear the tea party movement as “racist” for strategic reasons, not out of genuine concern that the movement is itself racist.
Berry called the tactic an “effective strategy” and chose not to denounce it.
Berry, now the Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and History at the University of Pennsylvania, was asked, “will branding the tea party ‘racist’ work?”
Berry replied:
"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."
“This is exactly the kind of thing that has irked me all of my adult life, to put it mildly,” said Project 21 member R. Dozier Gray. “This willful and purposeful use of the race card for nothing more than political gain is toxic to race relations, and Mary Frances Berry must know that. But she evidently does not care. Based on her comment, political posturing takes primacy over whatever real issues regarding race that she might pretend are her calling cards. I have seen this all before. I find it shameful.”
Project 21 member Bob Parks added: “What’s most disturbing about this very public quote? Not only is Mary Frances Berry making this comment without fear of admonishment, and that progressives have apparently embraced and are employing these very shameful, race-baiting tactics — but Berry is likely teaching this ‘social thought’ hate to children.”
Left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky, whose tactics have been studied and followed by Barack Obama and his followers, taught his activists to “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” The Tea Party movement has unnerved the left and energized supporters of smaller government, causing the left to target it, as per Alinsky’s method, with bogus racism charges.There probably are some racist individuals who would consider themselves Tea Party... more

Like a recurring nightmare, the Anti-Defamation League is back, this time with over 100 billboards in Greater Boston promoting the group’s “anti-bullying” program. As we’ll see, the real bully is the national ADL.
Recall that a few years ago the ADL’s alleged anti-bias program, “No Place for Hate,” was tossed out (NoPlaceforDenial.com) by Watertown, Arlington, Bedford, Belmont, Easton, Lexington, Medford, Needham, Newburyport, Newton, Northampton, Peabody, Somerville, Westwood, and the Massachusetts Municipal Association.
It has long conspired with Turkey – which bullies its ethnic and religious minorities, journalists, and dissidents – to deny the Armenian genocide of 1915-23 committed by Turkey, and to bully Congress into not bringing an Armenian genocide resolution to a fair vote.
The ADL, of course, promotes Holocaust recognition and reacts vociferously against perceived acts of anti-Semitism. Yet it displays gross insensitivity by collaborating with a major human rights violator, Turkey, to block recognition of another ethnic group’s genocide. Can such an organization be trusted to design humane, fact-based programs, whether about anti-bullying or called “No Place for Hate”? The answer is obvious.
And suppose a school system adopts the ADL’s alleged anti-bullying curriculum. Sooner or later, students and parents will discover that it was created by a group that doesn’t practice what it preaches. Duplicity is not a value that schools should be teaching.
Let’s be frank: The ADL has a political agenda. Fortunately, since every Massachusetts school district was required to adopt an anti-bullying curriculum by January 1, the state has many fine such programs that, unlike the ADL’s, aren’t politically motivated.Like a recurring nightmare, the Anti-Defamation League is back, this time with over... more

Propaganda is something you might expect from a dictatorship government but what about the United States? In the early 1980s, the US State Department launched a covert propaganda war against its own people. Founder and President of the Institute for Public Accuracy Norman Solomon says that US government propaganda continues today through mainstream media as an extension of the government.

While similar to a confidence trick or simple fraud, Social Engineering typically applies to trickery or deception for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victim. But in many cases the attacker certainly does come in contact with the victim. You may be doing all you can and should to protect yourself from hackers and scammers. But a response to a simple email that looks exactly like your expected monthly bank e-statement can completely drain your bank account.

Trade secrets and confidential information truly are the crown jewels of many businesses. This is the information that allows businesses to compete effectively, and that provides a competitive edge. Despite the critical nature of this information, my experience is that many business people do not understand what they should be doing to protect the crown jewels. I repeatedly see posts on LinkedIn and elsewhere asking for a “form” or a link to a “free site” to get an NDA. Given the potential value of the information, this cavalier approach is surprising.Trade secrets and confidential information truly are the crown jewels of many... more

There is something wrong here and PCI DSS is exposing it, not causing it. “When people say PCI is too hard, many really mean to say compliance is not cheap. The business risks and ultimate costs of non-compliance, however, can vastly exceed implementing PCI DSS – such as fines, legal fees, decreases in stock equity, and especially lost business. Implementing PCI DSS should be part of a sound, basic enterprise security strategy, which requires making this activity part of your ongoing business plan and budget.”There is something wrong here and PCI DSS is exposing it, not causing it. “When... more

It’s no surprise that since the true realization of the money crash last September, sources of funding have dramatically tightened up. Most of us understand that desperate times require desperate measures, but be careful – if you’re seeking funding or working with someone who is; there be dragons out there… I’ve managed investor related due diligence issues over the years primarily by bringing transparency to decision makers before any deal is made – unfortunately, some call too late and we have to roll in to “how to fix it” mode.It’s no surprise that since the true realization of the money crash last... more

By Steven Fox, Founder of SecureLexicon: A cross-industry survey of 150 IT managers and technical staff showed that 20% of that population either admitted to cheating on an IT audit or knew someone that did. Ruvi Kitov, CEO of Tufin Technologies, noted that the rate of auditor deception is likely higher than the survey suggests. Andy Bokor, COO of Trustwave, added that some IT professional respond to compliance pressures by describing their environments in a positive, yet false light.By Steven Fox, Founder of SecureLexicon: A cross-industry survey of 150 IT managers... more

By Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst, IT-Harvest: eSoft has determined that there has been a major spike in fraudulent pharmacy sites just this past week. Much like the fake SpySweeper site these pharma-fraud sites present a convincing storefront that appears to sell Viagra and Cialis. They have a sophisticated shopping cart system and take your money but do not bother with actually fulfilling orders. eSoft provided me with data on seven different templates they have discovered. The quantity is amazing.By Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst, IT-Harvest: eSoft has determined that... more
