Title: Oh, the irony

(ignore the use of "eventuated")

Yesterday, Katie Pavlich, Debra Heine, and Ed Driscoll drew our attention to a demonstration, unmentioned in the mainstream media, that took place in St. Louis and eventuated in the occupation of the offices of an outfit called MORE – Missourians for Organizing Reform and Empowerment. MORE is an offshoot of ACORN, and it is funded in part by George Soros’ omnipresent Open Society Institute (which has spent something like $5 billion supporting such outfits in recent years).

What makes this particular demonstration newsworthy is the fact that the demonstrators were demanding that they be paid, as promised, for the work they did in organizing demonstrations in Ferguson last summer. Here is part of what Debra Heine reports:

"According to the January tax filings of his nonprofit Open Society Foundations, Mr. Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support already-established groups to organize on-the-ground activists in Ferguson. Two of those organizations, MORE (Missourians Organizing For Reform and Empowerment) and OBS (Organization for Black Struggle) have been financing #BlackLivesMatter protests in Ferguson and elsewhere. That is – those organizations actually pay people to show up at venues to do their clapping, chanting, and sign waving routines.+

Were they promised the then-current minimum wage, a "living wage", or the new $15/hr target minimum wage?

There is a part of me that wonders if DoJ or the MO AG will use this as evidence of a conspiracy to riot.  I know the odds are less than slim, but  a guy can dream. =)

stay safe.

Seems a predictable outcome.  Sort of like refusing to pay a hitman.

Too bad we can't pay the cops to go to Soro's estate to break *expletive deleted*it and burn it to the ground.
