‘Protest,’ Riots, To-may-to, To-mah-to

Posted on Comments

Jeff Quinton reports a story today with the headline, “Marxists to protest Zimmerman trial verdict in Baltimore.”  This “protest” will involve “activists,” says the Baltimore Sun, which reports that the “The Baltimore People’s Power Assembly” is organizing the riot looting peaceful demonstration, but evidently the Professional Journalist didn’t bother to ask, “Who is The Baltimore People’s Power Assembly”?

Readers will be shocked at the profound mystery irresponsible allegations easily discovered facts that Jeff reports about this outfit:

They have a “Solidarity Center” on North Charles Street just north of West North Avenue where they have some of their events. In fact one of these events this weekend is a birthday party for two activists:

Two very good reasons to party – Andre and Shauna’s birthdays! Andre Powell, who is a long time union and LGBTQ activist, Workers World Party organizer, and New Wave singer along with Shauna, a new Peoples Power Assembly

They are asking for donations at the party:

The Solidarity Center is suffering from the “summer lack of money blues” to pay its rent. As many of you know the Center has housed organizing for the Poor Peoples Campaign and many other campaigns. The Solidarity Center has opened its doors to a variety of different groups who have met and planned activities including Occupy Baltimore, SCLC, UPP, WWP, the Green Party and the families and victims of police violence.

Additionally, the only “Like” tha the Baltimore People’s Assembly makes on their page is the Facebook page of the Baltimore Worker’s World Party. The Baltimore WWP lists it’s physical address as the sam location as the People’s Assembly Solidarity Center.

It would seem that Jeff Quinton has uncovered vicious innuendo baseless rumors incontrovertible proof that the “Solidarity Center” and the “People’s Power Assembly” are basically fronts for the fringe Stalinist splinter group, the Workers World Party.

The WWP’s history of operating through front groups, organizing “coalition” protests under disposable names like “International  A.N.S.W.E.R.” is not exactly a secret, but for some reason these facts that Jeff Quinton was able to discover — through some arcane magic known only to him — are beyond the reach of Baltimore Sun reporters, and perhaps of no interest to Baltimore Sun readers.

Let me try this here “Google” doohickey. Oh, my — looky there:

The Workers World Party (WWP) is a Marxist-Leninist sect that was founded in 1959 by Sam Marcy. Marcy and his followers were members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) until 1958, when they split from SWP because, unlike that organization, they supported the presidential bid of the Progressive Party’s Henry A. Wallace in 1948, the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary, and the regime of Mao Zedong in China. . . .
Advocating socialist revolution and the abolition of private property in the United States, WWP is a staunch supporter of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il. . . . During the Cold War it always sided with the Communists, against America. In the 1960s, Marcy himself led demonstrations against the Vietnam War and called for the victory of the Vietcong. . . .
WWP was also a Cosponsoring Organization of the April 25, 2004 “March for Women’s Lives,” a Washington, D.C. rally advocating unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand.

Nothing interesting or newsworthy — certainly, nothing controversial — about any of that stuff. Just your friendly neighborhood foreign dictator-supporting Marxist revolutionaries with offices in downtown Baltimore (2011 North Charles Street), who have announced:

PROTEST
If George Zimmerman is acquitted
SHOW YOUR OUTRAGE!
The immediate day after the verdict is announced gather at
McKelden Square, Light & Pratt Streets,
Downtown Baltimore 5 P.M. to 6:30 P.M.
Calling on all groups and individuals to join.”

Bolsheviks in Baltimore? No, that’s not “news” or anything  . . .

  2. Remember the unrest or restlessness, by people without a voice, during which 50 people found themselves deceased back in LA 1992

  5. The only redeeming feature of 92 was watching the liberal elite of Los Angeles becrap themselves when the chickens they raised came home to roost.

    The line of Mercedes and BMW’s coming down Stone Canyon Road and heading down Sunset for LAX looked like the evacuation of Kuwait. The ones who stayed spent the night shooting up their own back yards.

    In reality, of course, unless you lived next to a Circuit City or liquor store in the wrong ‘hood you really didn’t have much to worry about unless you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. But these candyassclowns were rock solid convinced the brown masses were just waiting for the chance to storm the A-list.

  7. One thing about the threatened riots…they will only mess up their own neighborhoods. They’re too scared to go out to the suburbs and rural areas because they know what will happen…bang bang!

    Even animals don’t crap in their own nest.

  9. “summer lack of money blues”

    LOL. Sounds like too much funemployment in Baltimore. I guess life is rough when your Soviet sugar daddy stops the flow of blood money.

  10. Bolsheviks in Baltimore?

    Nope, but close, try the White House.

    Or … oops, my bad, he’s a Marxist. Funny how the bourgeois, can be Marxist, no?

    Oops, wrong again, he’s a destroyer of business, but Obama/Holder will probably fund this (WWP riot) endeavor as well.

  12. Baltimore Commies… now I am reminded of P.J. O’Rourke’s hysterical piece about his time with an “underground” newspaper (only in America does the underground press have business cards, offices with names on the door, and is freely and openly distributed in coffee shops). They were deemed insufficiently vanguard-of-the-proletariat and occupied by a group calling themselves the Balto-Cong.

    The paper was called “Harry,” which is what happens when the editor lets his five year old son name the enterprise.
