Vadum on Fox Business at 10 p.m. Eastern tonight

I’ll be on Fox Business tonight (“Follow the Money” with host Eric Bolling) at 10 o’clock Eastern time. The topic?  Agenda 21, a kooky idea that liberals and environmentalists are enamored of.  To boil it down, it’s about so-called smart growth, i.e. pressuring people to live in cities in order to supposedly help the environment, fight global warming, yada yada yada. * * * * * Americans need to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical … Continue reading Vadum on Fox Business at 10 p.m. Eastern tonight

Ex-Dem Congressman: Voter Fraud Is Commonplace, Voter ID Is The Cure

A new article of mine from Big Government: Ex-Dem Congressman: Voter Fraud Is Commonplace, Voter ID Is The Cure By Matthew Vadum Voter fraud is not a figment of your imagination, says former Congressman Artur Davis (D-Alabama). The use of absentee ballots makes massive electoral fraud possible, Davis told the Daily Caller’s Neil Munro in a startling interview.  Davis’s comments came months after a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted local NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots.  Sowers received a five-year prison term. “Most voter fraud doesn’t happen on Election Day,” Davis said.  “Very few … Continue reading Ex-Dem Congressman: Voter Fraud Is Commonplace, Voter ID Is The Cure

Union-Backed Occupiers on the March

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Union-Backed Occupiers on the March By Matthew Vadum The sudden eviction of Occupy Wall Street squatters from lower Manhattan hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of organized labor for their increasingly violent anarchist and neo-communist brethren. The occupiers now say they plan to shut down Wall Street on Nov. 17 and occupy the New York subway. One Occupy Wall Street supporter was captured on video saying radicals plan to “burn New York City to the ground.” The movement that has spread across America is what ACORN’s neo-communist founder Wade Rathke, a former SEIU boss, calls an “anti-banking … Continue reading Union-Backed Occupiers on the March

Houston Chronicle sends no one to my speech, attacks me anyway

I spoke about my book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, at two events sponsored by King Street Patriots in Houston, Texas, yesterday. The local paper, the Houston Chronicle, sent no one to cover either event. Yet lazy Chronicle writer Geoff Berg trashed me anyway. Apparently, having a clue what you’re writing about isn’t too important to the Chronicle. It’s always instructive to watch the dinosaur media at work. Continue reading Houston Chronicle sends no one to my speech, attacks me anyway

Union Gangsters: Leo Gerard

From yesterday’s Front Page Magazine: Union Gangsters: Leo Gerard By Matthew Vadum The United Steelworkers (USW) Marxist president Leo Gerard believes if Big Labor can’t get what it wants through the ballot box it’s time to start cracking skulls. The Canadian-born Gerard loves a brawl. In 1999 he helped the violent anarchists protesting in Seattle block access to the World Trade Organization meetings. USW sent 1,400 goons to shut the talks down. Gerard’s agitation helped to push Algoma Steel of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, into bankruptcy in the 1990s. USW president since 2001, Gerard wholeheartedly supports the labor-backed Occupy Wall … Continue reading Union Gangsters: Leo Gerard

Issa Demands ACORN Fraud Probe Over OWS

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Issa Demands ACORN Fraud Probe Over OWS By Matthew Vadum The House of Representatives’ top investigator has asked a federal prosecutor to look into fraudulent fundraising practices that ACORN’s New York front group allegedly used to raise money for Occupy Wall Street. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) wants to know if New York Communities for Change (NYCC) “engaged in fraud through its participation in the Occupy Wall Street protests.” (Front Page Magazine reported a month ago that NYCC was raising money for Occupy Wall Street.) In a letter Monday Issa asked Brooklyn-based … Continue reading Issa Demands ACORN Fraud Probe Over OWS

ACORN Front Group Destroys Evidence of OWS Ties

From today’s Front Page Magazine: ACORN Front Group Destroys Evidence of OWS Ties By Matthew Vadum Even more convincing evidence linking the ACORN network to Occupy Wall Street has emerged. The protests, which have spread to dozens of other large U.S. cities, are part of what ACORN’s neo-communist founder Wade Rathke calls an “anti-banking jihad.” After I reported a month ago that ACORN front group New York Communities for Change (NYCC) was raising money for Occupy Wall Street, NYCC is in turmoil. FoxNews.com is reporting that NYCC executive director Jon Kest, a longtime ACORN activist and brother of former ACORN executive director Steve Kest, … Continue reading ACORN Front Group Destroys Evidence of OWS Ties

Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints

From yesterday’s Front Page Magazine: Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints By Matthew Vadum The fingerprints of the preeminent funder of the activist Left today, George Soros, are all over the anti-American “Occupy Wall Street” movement. The seventh-wealthiest person in America (net worth: $22 billion), Soros has publicly embraced Occupy Wall Street and financially supports a left-wing group that is funneling money to the movement. As I note in my new book Subversion Inc., this Communist sympathizer co-founded the ultra-secretive Democracy Alliance, a billionaires’ club that wants to radically transform America. He has said that European-style socialism “is exactly what we … Continue reading Occupy Wall Street and Soros’ Fingerprints

Union Gangsters: Jimmy Hoffa Jr.

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Union Gangsters: Jimmy Hoffa Jr. By Matthew Vadum Few union gangsters have the exquisitely barbaric pedigree of International Brotherhood of Teamsters president James P. Hoffa. And few labor unions can match the Teamsters, the million-plus member union of truckers and blue-collar workers, for its legendary connections to organized crime, corruption, and violence. For decades the word Teamster was essentially a synonym for gangster. Hoffa is the son of James R. Hoffa, the relentlessly corrupt, larger-than-life Teamsters president who worked closely with figures from the crime underworld. In July 1975 the elder Hoffa disappeared mysteriously outside a suburban Detroit restaurant at … Continue reading Union Gangsters: Jimmy Hoffa Jr.

FoxNews.com hypes story about ACORN involvement in Occupy Wall Street that I had weeks ago

FoxNews.com has been promoting an “exclusive” story that reiterates what I previously reported. The story by Jana Winter is titled EXCLUSIVE: ACORN Playing Behind Scenes Role in ‘Occupy’ Movement. To be clear, Winter’s story is a good one. She has put a lot of meat on the bones but I had the story first. Winter reports that The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending … Continue reading FoxNews.com hypes story about ACORN involvement in Occupy Wall Street that I had weeks ago

George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street

I have a piece at Human Events Online today titled “George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street.” Here’s the top of it: Radical anti-American billionaire George Soros is a major backer of a left-wing group that is funneling money to the Occupy Wall Street movement. The nonprofit organization at the receiving end of Soros’ largesse, Alliance for Global Justice, is managing donations benefiting the communists, socialists, anarchists and hippies now occupying Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan.  As of Oct. 19, OWS had taken in a grand total of $435,000 from all sources, including donations made by individuals online and in person, … Continue reading George Soros Funds Occupy Wall Street

Union Gangsters: Andy Stern

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Union Gangsters: Andy Stern By Matthew Vadum Andy Stern is one of the most outspoken, cocksure neo-communists of the American labor movement. “We like to say: We use the power of persuasion first,” Stern said, channeling Rules for Radicals author Saul Alinsky. “If it doesn’t work, we try the persuasion of power.” Stern quotes Karl Marx in television appearances. In 2007 the wannabe Bolshevik told Bill Moyers that his Service Employees International Union (SEIU) was expanding to Australia, Switzerland, England, South America, and Africa. We’ve been working with unions around the world. And what we’re … Continue reading Union Gangsters: Andy Stern

Vadum on Fox re Occupy Wall Street

I was on “Follow the Money” with Eric Bolling on Fox Business last night. We discussed the scummy, violent communists and anarchists of Occupy Wall Street. Here’s the video: * * * * * Americans need to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

Commies and Nazis and Protesters

From today’s Front Page Magazine: Commies and Nazis and Protesters By Matthew Vadum Being endorsed by scary, hateful, self-marginalizing extremists isn’t necessarily the kiss of death in American politics. After presidential candidate Ronald Reagan was endorsed by a Louisiana chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in 1980 –an endorsement he quite correctly and forcefully rejected— he prospered and went on to evict Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter from the White House. But it’s different when the endorsee shares the core tenets of the fringe-dwelling endorsers. It really shouldn’t be altogether surprising that Occupy Wall Street is now endorsed by both the … Continue reading Commies and Nazis and Protesters

RIP, Dennis Reilly, founder of National Alliance for Taxicab Justice

I just learned that a friend of mine died. His name was Dennis Reilly and he was the founder and president of a group called National Alliance for Taxicab Justice that sought to reform the taxicab system. Dennis was 72 years old. He was a good man who wanted to make his corner of the world a better place. Rest in peace, Dennis. I am advised that a funeral-wake for Dennis is scheduled for this Friday, October 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Collins Funeral Home, 500 University Blvd., Silver Spring, Md. 20901.

The Face of the Democratic Party

From Front Page Magazine today: The Face of the Democratic Party By Matthew Vadum Salvador Dali would have been comfortable painting a mural of the surreal Occupy Wall Street movement. Supported by billionaire Marxists, mega-rich Hollywood airheads, radical libertarians, indebted students, sexual exhibitionists, malingerers, and professional protesters, the neo-communist “Occupy Wall Street” movement is fast becoming the face of the modern Democratic Party. This is a wonderful thing, says conservative columnist George F. Will. Will said he wants the Occupy Wall Street protests to prosper: I think they do represent the intellectual spirit of the American left, but also I … Continue reading The Face of the Democratic Party

WND: Thousands of fraud cases just ‘tip of iceberg’

Marxist Mobocracy

My new op-ed in the Washington Times: Marxist mobocracy Let them protest and rage – it lays the groundwork for GOP domination By Matthew Vadum Abraham Lincoln rightly denounced the “mobocratic spirit.” James Madison considered it the sacred duty of government to protect property rights from the violent whims of the mob: “That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest.” Lincoln and Madison would not have … Continue reading Marxist Mobocracy
