ACORN 1-ups MoveOn Obama's ex-employer supports hacking, violence, political murder June 09, 2011 © 2011 WND wnd.com MoveOn's digitally altered video that purports to show left-wing slogans scrolling on the ticker outside News Corporation's New York headquarters is exactly the kind of malicious prank approved of by ACORN, President Obama's favorite community organizing group. But judging from the writings of ACORN leader Wade Rathke, ACORN believes the stunt doesn't go far enough. ACORN, which is restructuring itself in time for next year's national elections, is the former employer and legal client of the president. Rathke urges his fellow radical activists to actually hack into their enemy's computers and steal information. He also advocates the use of violence, including murder, in order to advance their agenda, according to a stunning new book, "Subversion Inc.," by award-winning investigative journalist Matthew Vadum. Vadum, senior editor at Capital Research Center, a think tank that studies left-wing advocacy groups and their funders, has assembled the information from nearly three years of research and hundreds of interviews in the project. According to Rathke, the left is losing and believes it needs to get much more aggressive. "We need an edge, some harder steel on the rim," he wrote in 2001. "If some day we want to make more just laws, then today we may have to just learn to break more laws." In a "wish list," he includes "[t]actics that include civil disobedience and political defiance" and "[t]actics that include extra-legal activity." Rathke praises both the violent Black Panther Party and the rioters in Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting, calling the rioters "progressive forces." Get the book that reveals the ongoing criminal enterprise known as ACORN. This book is so explosive, copies have been provided to all 535 members of the House and Senate in hopes of prompting further investigation of the subversive activity it exposes. He encourages the recruitment of computer-hacking criminals to come to the aid of the labor movement. "Crazy, computer viruses are started by young kids around the world or hackers bored out of their skulls that live right down the street," Rathke writes. "As union organizers we are still doing 8 point difficulty dumpster dives for alpha lists of employees, when theoretically some good geeks could tap in, load up, and download the whole thing and throw it over our transom window. What a waste of talent when such a huge contribution could be made to the labor movement." "Simply put, why isn't there more 'monkey wrenching' in our world? Where is our Earth First!" he writes. Monkey-wrenching is a form of eco-terrorism that consists of harming the economic interests of those who are perceived by the left to be threats to the environment. Vadum's book reports that such eco-terrorism can consist of arson, destruction of crops or sport utility vehicle dealerships, bombing, or tree-spiking, in which an activist drives metal rods into trees in order to prevent them from being cut down for commercial use. Tree-spiking has led to the injury and death of lumberjacks. As WND has reported, the George Soros-funded activist group Moveon.org has admitted it was behind a hoax YouTube video in which it appeared the ticker outside the headquarters of Fox News' parent company headquarters had been hacked and reprogrammed with an anti-Fox News script calling for revolution. The video shows words scrolling on the changing Fox News ticker, which appears to have been reprogrammed to read: "We are being lied to. Rightwingers are destroying the middle class and trying to kill our unions. The country is not broke." The publicity stunt was intended to promote the June 23 launch of what MoveOn labels "the largest economic campaign we have ever run." The campaign, called "Rebuild the Dream," is co-sponsored by Van Jones, a longtime ally of ACORN and Obama's former "green jobs" czar. Jones left his post in September 2009 after it was revealed he founded a communist revolutionary group and suggested the Bush administration was complicit in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Jones also conspired with Obama and radical activist Lennox Yearwood in a propaganda effort aimed at transforming the meaning of September 11, the anniversary of the nation's worst terrorist attacks. Yearwood was recently profiled in a documentary called "Hip Hop Rev" that aired on the Discovery Network's Planet Green Channel in April. According to Vadum's book, on a White House conference call Yearwood and leaders from ACORN and other radical groups said they wanted 9/11 to be used for something "positive," "forward-leaning," and "productive." The plan was to turn what the call participants referred to as a "day of fear" that helps Republicans into a day of "green" activism – a National Day of Service – that helps the left. The complaint that Republicans have unfairly appropriated the meaning of 9/11 is a frequent refrain on the left. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, summed up this ugly perspective, calling 9/11 "a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form." Yearwood said the new 9/11 would be "the first milestone" of a larger effort called "Green the Block," aimed at convincing Americans to embrace a "green economy." Yearwood never explained why this National Day of Service had to be held – of all the 365 days in a year – on Sept. 11.
