Be prepared for Wall Street protests, et al, to escalate

  Some time ago, we discussed who was behind the so-called "Day of Rage" which started on September 17 here, with links from The Blaze and Business Insider:

The planned Sept. 17 day of rage seems to be the culmination of Rathke’s efforts.Those efforts are being organized by Stephen Lerner, an SEIU board member who reportedly visited the Obama White House at least four times.The aim, according to Lerner, is to “destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement.”“How do we bring down the stock market? How do we bring down their bonuses? How do we interfere with their ability to, to be rich?” Lerner asked rhetorically in March.

The SEIU (service employees international union) is behind much of it, as discussed here:

Imagine that, an international union composed of American public-sector government employees, paid by us, the taxpayers, are going to make a direct attack on the source of the tax monies that pay their wages.
The reason? I'm not really sure, but can only guess that they want to see the burdens the state imposes on the productive members of society be ratcheted up to finance even more public sector spending that we can ill afford.

  As noted at The Blaze, these protesters have been trained in "non-violent' resistance to arrest. One of their webpages is here.

  Note that these individuals are holding a sign indicating one of them has a $50,000 loan to secure a master's degree.

  No one twisted his/her arm to attain that degree.

  S/he chose to pursue a chosen degree and to secure the loan for a degree worth....what?

  Yet does she choose to protest the university that charged her so much MONEY for a worthless degree?

  Of course not, because those very folks who educated her are on the front lines with the protesters, though those academes have their sinecures, their fat pensions, their numerous days off and slave labor assistants, unlike the unemployed graduates.

  Those ridiculously overpriced degrees that so many of these sluggards are reluctant to pay for now are part of the "higher education bubble" that many folks, including Peter Thiel, successful entrepreneur and millionaire who created PayPal, believe is about to burst. 

  Thiel, a law school graduate himself, questions the cost of an education and the value of what they are receiving in exchange for extreme debt:

  From TechCrunch: 

Instead, for Thiel, the bubble that has taken the place of housing is the higher education bubble. “A true bubble is when something is overvalued and intensely believed,” he says. “Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It’s like telling the world there’s no Santa Claus.”

Like the housing bubble, the education bubble is about security and insurance against the future. Both whisper a seductive promise into the ears of worried Americans: Do this and you will be safe.The excesses of both were always excused by a core national belief that no matter what happens in the world, these were the best investments you could make. Housing prices would always go up, and you will always make more money if you are college educated.

  Yes, the bubble is about to burst, but the borrowers protesting the BANKS who loaned them the MONEY aren't about to protest the colleges who pay exorbitant salaries to fat cat academes who keep increasing tuition to pay for their new buildings, additional assistants and fat salaries and perks.
  Now the Wall Street protests have spread around the country, as intended. 
  Who is behind the approaching DALLAS protests, as reported by Democrat Lee Stranahan?
  Why, the public unions, of course, just like the SEIU is behind the Wall Street protests to undermine capitalism; the heavy handed SEIU is trying to unionize people who babysit in their homes, even for their own children, a point of contention in Michigan.
  Indeed the whole idea of the "Day of Rage" is based on the Days of Rage of the violent Weathermen of the 60s, William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn types.
  So they want more money from the taxpayers for their wages and benefits. You have no right to protest. Just pay.
 They want concessions from Wall Street and corporations. In fact, they want this:

In aninterview about the planned protests, Lerner outlined his goals: "How do we bring down the stock market? How do we bring down their bonuses? How do we interfere with their ability to, to be rich?"

  The ugly dry run was Wisconsin.
  Now we're on to New York, Seattle, Boston, Dallas....
  WND, a few months ago:

The upcoming protests, replete with a planned tent city in downtown Manhattan, is closely tied to the founders of ACORN and leaders of major U.S. unions, including the Service Employees International Union, or SEIU.
There are indications the protesters are training to incite violence, resist arrest and disrupt the legal system.

  The drama is increased by appearances of the Michael Moore and Sarandon types, the gilded glitterati who give validity to the "movement" by flying and limo-ing in from their estates to pause for an hour or two to take a few pictures with the sufferers, who are using Twitter, iPads and wearing designer clothing and shoes.
  Make no mistake.
  Their goals will not and cannot be accomplished without violence. We're seeing the beginnings in the march on Brooklyn Bridge, met to disrupt the general populace.
  They aren't getting enough attention by peeing in pots and cooking on Wall Street yet, so they must escalate.
  The escalation, in fact, is what they want and need.
  Insatiable desires to gain front page stories and YouTube videos cannot be achieved without a few real sacrifices, like generating police and public agitation.
  They see this as cracking a few heads. A few sacrifices along the way.
  The Bill Ayerses of the world need the escalation so the martyrs can emerge for the cameras.
  Like the impractical teenaged, sandal wearing, drug using Miniver Cheevy hippies of high school who dream of the medieval grace of iron clad clothing, they want to relive the days of yore when real issues were in play. 
  They can't  protest Obama's wars; he's too much one of them and too closely tied to the incendiaries starting the trouble, too much part of the master plan.
  Watch.
  The "peaceful protests" will escalate to violence within the next several weeks.
  It's the optics, dude. The optics.
