Ex union president in Occupy event: Goal is to ‘overthrow the capitalist system and build communism’

Mike Golash, who was a president with the Amalgamated Transit Union local 689 chapter, and is now an organiser for the “Occupy” movement describes the agenda…

“… is a revolutionary communist organization… It’s objective is to make revolution in the United States, overthrow the capitalist system and build communism.”

“An organization has to be built which can bring down capitalism..”

“The capitalists — they have their organizations: the FBI, the CIA, the secret police, the military, the army, etc., etc. They have organizations to maintain their power. It’s foolish to think that without a disciplined organization made up not of a few people but of millions and millions of people, [we] can bring down capitalism.”

This event by Occupy D.C. was located in the Luther Place Church, downtown Washington, D.C.

LIBERAL LEFT HATE CAPITALISM

Capitalism has done more to raise the poor out of poverty than any other form of economic model.

But why do the liberal left still push a socialist agenda, and why are they angry with capitalism?

What is fairness, what is justice within a society? In a nation where there is freedom: the poor can make a way out of poverty and prosper; where the majority of millionaires in this country have come from bottom, to lower-middle socio-economic backgrounds, where is the injustice?

But the left do not want to hear facts, they seem blind to the truth. And with the media controlled by the liberal left the nation continues to be programmed to believe we live in an unjust society.

Crony Capitalism

As part of Obama’s stimulus program vast sums of government money are being handed out in the way of “green loans”. The latest of these was awarded to a company called SolarReserve. SolarReserve will benefit from $737 million, for the development of a solar-thermal project in the Nevada desert.

However, what has now become apparent is that one of the company’s “investment partners” is the PCG Clean Energy and Technology Fund, and that the PCG’s number two is Ronald Pelosi, San Francisco political insider and financial expert, who is also the brother-in-law of Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.

This comes in the wake of the Solyndra scandal. Solyndra executives contributed generously to Obama’s 2008 campaign, and one of Solyndra’s biggest investors, George Kaiser, was a frequent visitor to the White House, as well as a generous contributor to the Obama campaign.

It also appears that another investment partner of SolarReserve is Argonaut Private Equity, and the Managing Director of Argonaut Private Equity also served on the board of Solyndra.

As well as these connections between big money Obama supporters and government loan approvals there is yet more! Obama will soon hold a fundraiser at the home of  the prominent Missouri Democrat Tom Carnahan. Carnahan and his family have also contributed heavily to Obama’s 2008 campaign; and Carnahan is also the director of the Wind Capital Group. Last year, Wind Capital’s Lost Creek Farm facility in northwest Missouri received a $107 million tax credit from the Treasury.

With so much money being given to companies with close ties to Obama, is it little surprise people are asking questions and wondering if this does not speak of corruption within the democratic party and governing  administration?
