Indiana prosecutor told Wisconsin governor to stage ‘false flag’ operation
"A good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation"....ahem.
From Raw Story.
An Indiana prosecutor and Republican activist has resigned after emails show he suggested Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker stage a fake attack on himself to discredit unions protesting his budget repair bill.
The Republican governor signed a bill on March 11 that eliminates most union rights for public employees.
In an email from February 19, Indiana deputy prosecutor Carlos F. Lam told Walker the situation presented "a good opportunity for what’s called a ‘false flag’ operation."
The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism discovered the email among tens of thousands released to the public last week following a lawsuit by the Isthmus and the Associated Press.
"If you could employ an associate who pretends to be sympathetic to the unions' cause to physically attack you (or even use a firearm against you), you could discredit the unions," Lam said in his email...

Once Again, Fox Masquerades GOP Activist As Concerned Parent To Attack Unions
I understand that Media Matters in its criticism of Alex Jones is completely off the mark. However the Tea Party is foolish to attack unions.
Why is it so hard for the Tea Party, or even some in the libertarian right to understand? It is the powerful, the corporate oligarchs and the elite, who want the unions gone. They want the middle class to suffer, and they want more money for themselves. That isn't freedom but exploitation.
The progressive left is equally foolish when it attacks 9/11 Truth, Alex Jones, or the Second Amendment.
Why is it so hard to see that 9/11 Truth, the libertarian right, as well as the unions, and the progressive left, need to get together to fight the real enemy, namely, the corrupt establishment (both corporate and government) pulling the strings in the shadows of America, leading it further into financial ruin, brutal inequality, a police state, and needless war and imperialism.
Ron Paul and Ralph Nader have suggested such an alliance. Perhaps it is the only alliance which could advert a catastrophe for America in the future. Stop bickering and find the common ground against the common enemy.

This morning, Fox & Friends hosted an "upset Wisconsin parent" to discuss her objection to Wisconsin public schools' teaching of labor union history. Left unsaid during the segment: The parent, Amber Hahn, is also a local GOP official...

Police Join Wisconsin Protesters In State Capitol
From The Understory.
From inside the Wisconsin State Capitol, RAN ally Ryan Harvey reports:
“Hundreds of cops have just marched into the Wisconsin state capitol building to protest the anti-Union bill, to massive applause. They now join up to 600 people who are inside.”
Ryan reported on his Facebook page earlier today:
“Police have just announced to the crowds inside the occupied State Capitol of Wisconsin: ‘We have been ordered by the legislature to kick you all out at 4:00 today. But we know what’s right from wrong. We will not be kicking anyone out, in fact, we will be sleeping here with you!’ Unreal.”

Scott Walker "Thought About" Planting "Troublemakers" In the Wisconsin Protest
Listen to a prank call from someone impersonating David Koch talk to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The bit about infiltrating the protesters with "troublemakers" comes around 4.22 in the second video. The Governor also praises the New York Times. Figures. America is owned by cynical conservatives and bought off democrats. They can lean back and relax...it's all in their hands.
From Prison Planet.
During a prank phone call in which he believed he was talking to billionaire philanthropist David Koch, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker admitted that state authorities had “thought about” using troublemakers to infiltrate the crowds demonstrating against his effort to eliminate collective bargaining rights, proving once again that the use of agent provocateurs to discredit legitimate protesters is a common political ploy...

Madison Protests Hit Largest Numbers On Saturday; Rockers On Their Way To Join
The hypocrisy is astounding of those who wish that all the debts built up by fraud, military adventurism, corporate socialism, and wall street bailouts now be paid for solely by ordinary workers while the Wall Street tycoons are still raking it in. Gee, I guess because I can see the obvious that must make me a communist.
International corporations, banks, special interests who often have little real relationship to the U.S. are however spared in many cases from paying their fair share.
From Huffington Post
None of it - not the ear-splitting chants, the pounding drums or the back-and-forth debate between 70,000 protesters - changed the minds of Wisconsin lawmakers dug into a stalemate over Republican efforts to scrap union rights for almost all public workers...
...Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and other musicians will be in Madison on Monday to show support for the protesters rallying against Governor Walker.
According to a press release for the event:
On Monday, Tom Morello, Wayne Kramer, Street Dogs and other musicians will join teachers, students, community members, religious leaders in the state capitol to rally against Gov. Walker's radical proposals against workers and their union. They will call for policies that support the middle class and leaders who will respect the freedom of working people to collectively call for a better life....

Returning National Guard Troops Set To Smash Wisconsin Protest?

Coincidence or not, the fact that hundreds of National Guard troops are returning to Wisconsin today fresh from battling insurgents in Iraq is sure to alarm union protesters who labeled Governor Scott Walker’s move to put the Guard on alert last week a “threat” designed to intimidate demonstrators who are currently massed around the Capitol in Madison.
In case of a widespread walkout in response to his “budget repair bill,” Walker told reporters last week that he would use National Guard troops to be “prepared…for whatever the governor, their commander-in-chief, might call for. … I am fully prepared for whatever may happen.”
Ostensibly, Walker’s announcement was a signal that he is prepared to replace state workers with National Guard troops, deploying them for example as prison guards. However, protesters cried foul, claiming that Walker was invoking the Guard as an intimidation tactic to suppress dissent.
