Largest U.S. union behind Mideast riots?

The executive council of the AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union, has praised the role workers and trade unions are playing in the revolutions sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.

The AFL-CIO’s statement did not reference the group’s alleged ties to at least one major international group leading the revolutions.

WND was first to report that one of the main anti-regime organizations spearheading protests in Algeria is funded by a quasi-governmental group partly led by an arm of the AFL-CIO along with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

In a statement last week, the AFL-CIO praised the role of unions and workers in what it called the “popular mobilizations against corrupt, oppressive regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and throughout the Middle East and North Africa.”

The statement was carried by People’s World, an online magazine directly descended from the Daily Worker, the publication of the Communist Party USA.

The AFL-CIO statement said: “After enduring decades of repression exercised by governments with the support of the West, including the United States, the workers and people of Tunisia and Egypt have mobilized by the millions for democracy and fundamental rights.”

    Democracy for Egypt. The Kerry McCain Liberman Bill S. 618 which opened the coporate elite to Egypt where they swarmed in like locust. Goerge Soros who funded the new Constitution of Egypt. I am sure all of this was for the democracy of Egypt.

    Figures. When liberals started the terrorist marxist rant about the Tea Party, that is the pot calling the kettle bl***.

    • Barry

      Except the kettle in this case is not black.

      A better way to put it is: usual Marxist projection

  • Ilene Burwick

    Our terrrorists made in USA are the unions.

    • George

      The illegal and corrupt soetoro/sorros regime supports the anti-liberty, anti-religion tactics of the ACLU and other unions. Patronize businesses that practice Right to Work policies, and DRY UP THOSE BUSINESS THAT SUPPORT ACLU THUGS AND DICTATORS!! We The People can do MUCH by boycotting those businesses that require union membership as a condition of employment. Tell our reps in the Congress and Senate to fight against the attacks of the ACLU. ACLU marxists must be stopped, along with the rest of the corrupt leaders behind the muslim ass kissing commie thief squatting in the White House!

  • charles a pembroke

    Holy crap,the unions are friends of terrorist.Or are they learning ways of jihad to bring into the USA.Or are they teaching jihadist how to riot?what the hell are they doing over there?Isn’t there a law about going into foreign countries to cause trouble.

  • Jay

    No surprise there. In kenya in the 1950′s to the present, leaders utilized Unions to intimidate, beat up, and murder their opposition. Obama learned well from his father and Soros about the utilization of Unions to get elected. Defeat the Unions [ SEIU, AFL-CIO, etc. ] and you defeat Obama as well.

  • Randy Huffey

    If this article is a surprise to you, get up to speed! Alf-CIO is practicing (war gameing) to bring this same civil unrest to the USA. Now the practice field has moved to Great Britain, a “Western democracy”. They are perfecting their game for here!

    We need to band all Unions from our Shores,Period!

    • Barry

      Freedom of association would suffer a death blow by your suggestion. The solution is to reassert the rights of business to hire and fire at will. A job is the possession of the employer not the employee. The employee is compensated to do the job for the employer. Modern law has lost sight of this simple fact.

  • Ms. Danuba

    Interesting and frightening at the same time.
    If this is true, it explains well the organizers behind the riots and “freedom fighters” in the middles east. I was wondering about this for quite some time. All activities are the result of its inventor- the great George Soros. He is using Obama here in the USA Ana he is using the Unions in the Middle East, maybe even in England – London?. It also explains the union’s ‘thuggish’ behavior against middle class Americans in MI and at some of the Tea party meetings.

    that little trip cost the us taxpayer 20$billion plus if we recall last spring dear little ratbag obama took his little 20billion $ trip & all the trouble broke out over there thats what that was all about unionizing the middle east & north africa with taxpayer funds aint that fricken wonderful , you know its no damn wonder we’re broke with that obama idiot running about either losing a couple hundred billion in automobile bank & fanny mae & freddie mac losses union handouts worthless payouts to rogue countries now we here that 65% of americans are on food stamps we have almost 20% unemployment we have home forclousers by the million we have our credit rating downgraded the stock market is in the toilet, what do we get in the way of help from the government 1]ratbag obama plays golf & ignores the whole damn mess 2]the fed keeps interest rates the same until 2013, boy that will really help americans just a hell of a lot. GEEEE thanks for such a great damn job ratbag obama

  • John B. Williams

    Nah don’t believe it. It is our President’s way of turning Americans against their unions. Now the NEA would contribute to something antiamerican, as they did when they turned against the rebels, i.e. natives, in South America, Cuba, you name it. AFLCIO Moneys may have contributed, but the union, never.

    • jjdebird

      ????
      Obama’s most numerous visitors to the white house have been UNIONS.
      Maybe thats what they were planning, keep the world in a mess so America did not see what Obama was doing?

      The only spending Obama wants to do ends up helping unions, education, roads, bridges, etc – all will put unions to work, to heck with the rest of us.

  • ROSEBUD

    I READ SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, MAYBE LAST YEAR, AFTER THEY CLAIMED THAT CONGRESS HAD DEFUNDED ACORN, THAT ACORN HAD MOVED ON TO EUROPE TO START TROUBLE OVER THERE. THOUGH THEY REGROUPED HERE UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES, THEY ARE STILL AT WORK & ARE NOW BEING FUNDED THROUGH HUD. HUD WAS THE CAUSE OF THE ORIGNINAL HOUSING CRISIS STARTED BY BILL CLINTON & ANDREW CUOMO, HIS HUD SECRETARY. THEY PUSHED HOUSING LOANS THROUGH FANNIE & FREDDIE IN THE 90′S UNDER “THE COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT” SIGNED BY BILL CLINTON. HUD CALLED THEM “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” LOANS FOR THE POOR WHO DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE STANDARD LOAN. CLINTON FORCED THE FED TO LOWER CREDIT STANDARDS IN ORDER FOR THE POOR TO QUALIFY WITH NO DOWN PAYMENT, NO CREDIT CHECK OR A JOB. YOU COULD BE ON WELFARE OR UNEMPLOYMENT & STILL GET A LOAN.
    THANK YOU BILL CLINTON FOR CREATING THE HOUSING BUBBLE & THE FINANCIAL
    CRISIS WHEN THE BANKS FAILED. THOSE LOANS THAT F & F PROCESSED WERE BUNDLED & SOLD OFF TO OTHER BANKS, HEDGE FUNDS & REINVESTMENT INSTITUTIONS WORLD WIDE. WHEN THE LOANS DEFAULTED, THE BANKS COLLAPSED. IT TOOK TEN PLUS YEARS TO CREATE THE MESS WE’RE IN BUT AS USUAL IT’S ALWAYS THE DEMS WHO CREATE THE MESS. TAX & SPEND LIBERALS ARE REALLY SOCIALISTS. OBAMA WORKED FOR ACORN SHAKING DOWN BANKS UNDER THREATS OF A LAWSUIT IN CHICAGO. HE WAS A SOCIALIST THEN & HIS WORK STARTED WHILE IN COLLEGE WORKING AS A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST & LATER WAS A UNION ORGANIZER TOO. ACORN & SEIU ARE JOINED AT THE HIP, THEY WORKED FOR HIM TO GET HIM ELECTED ALONG WITH GEORGE SOROS BILLIONS TO BACK HIM.
    BTW, I HEARD THAT SOROS MADE $10 BILLION ON THE S&P DOWNGRADE OF THE U.S. DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU? MAYBE THIS WHOLE THING WAS A CONSPIRACY
    TO MAKE A KILLING ON THE MARKET BY BETTING AGAINST IT LIKE THEY DID WITH THE HOUSING BUBBLE. AFTERALL, GEORGE BUSH ASKED CONGRESS 17 TIMES TO REIN IN THE BANKS WHEN HE SAW F&F WERE HEADED FOR TROUBLE. IT APPEARS THAT WALL ST. KNEW ABOUT IT & THEY MADE A KILLING. THIS IS WHAT WALL ST DOES. IT’S THEIR BUSINESS BUT THIS IS HOW SOROS TAKES DOWN GOVERNMENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS IS THEIR AGENDA FOR “ONE WORLD ORDER” & MAYBE HE WANTS OBAMA TO BE PRESIDENT OF THAT ONE WORLD. THINK ABOUT THE TRENDS & WHO WE’RE DEALING WITH. THE UNIONS HAVE ALREADY GONE THERE TO MAKE THEIR MARK & STIR UP THE PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR GOVERNMENTS. DO YOU THINK THEY ARE ALL FALLING IN ON THEIR OWN? IT’S ALL PART OF THE PLAN.

    • fredro

      Did I not hear of ACORN being re-funded under a different monicer right here in the USA to the tune of $78,000,000.00, yes that’s 78 milloin dollars of your tax monies. Correct me if I’m wrong but it still spells and stinks of O’buckwheats ‘transparent’ way of socialism.
      And on another thought…have we noticed that O’buckwheat has started to wear the US Flag lapel pin and also invoked the term God Bless This Nation recenty. Nice right turn turn by the job seeking, illegal alien we call president/dictator in the making.

      Let’s all let him spend our hard earned $$$$$ for the next 14 months campaigning for another term of hell and suffering for US the tax payer instead of offering solutions to the hell he has created!

      Press the reset button and start over in washington. VOTE THEM OUT IN 2012 or get the process started now with impeachment.

      News just announced we the people just borrowed another 32 billion dollars….Where did we/he get it???

    The Democrats keep pushing for Democracy in the Middle East. The founding fathers knew that democracy was the WORST form of government. What we should be pushing for is a Republic. A democratic Republic but still a Republic. The democrats don’t know that the democracy turns the nations over to the Muslims, or do they. That means that everyone else in the country will be second class citizens, if they are allowed to live.

    • fredro

      Yes but that is what O’buckwheat would like to see. More plans of muslim rule, influence and jihad. You are an enemy of the muslim world and you are to be killed on site according to their koran.
      It’s their way of life.
      They have a long history….hundreds of years and I don’t think they will moderate soon, no matter how much room and welfare you give them.
      How many places on this earth allow more than one wife?
      How many places on this earth ask you what size vest you wear…passive or explosive?

    If this report, which says both the AFL-CIO and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce funded this operation in Algeria, which I have seen nowhere else, and for which I have seen no proof, is correct, and it just might be, we have the wildest case of “politics makes strange bedfellows” I hve seen in a long time. What is in, or going on in, Algeria that would unite these two usually oppoisng American groups to get involved there, of all places?

    The American government, including both parties in Congress, has already got us into two and now three wars in heavily Muslim territory and it has become altogether too clear that they all let us get in without good intelligence or even a good grasp of the geography and sociology. Trying to give Iraq and Afghanistan western-style Constitutional democracy, equal rights for women, our First Amendment, etc., reqjuied downright incredible ignorance of those countries. Anyone who thinks America or Americans can control the ultimate course of events over there is deluding themselves. Everything I was taught about the Muslim Brotherhood etc. a half-century ago causes me to be very concerned about increased future conflict.

    The usual conservative theory is that multi-billionaire speculator George Soros is the brains and money behind an attempt to have a totalitarian leftist takeover here in America where Soros now lives and operates. I disagree with several of his positions and sponsorships, but there appears to be no real controversy about the fact that he has worked against the totalitarians and in support of freedom of speech, etc., in places like the Czech Republic. This story has got to be more complicated than typically presented by either side.

  • D. Grant Chee, Plt sergeant

    B’arack Hussein Trumpka Mo Ham Obam began as a communist community organizer; or
    copy-cat Viet Minh. Union leaders are very efficient at deluding willing and dependent
    members who pay the dem party to play. Now, thanks to millions of card carrying unionist’s,
    America is bankrupt, disillusioned and ripe for attack from within and without–a plan
    is being exercised by BHO and the puppet masters who installed him, Shrillery and
    Vanity Jones the communist.

  • D. Grant Chee, Plt sergeant

    The Balkans liar, Shrillery Rod Ham Clinton is a major player behind the scenes. America
    is being diminished and jeopardized by HRC, Huma, Soros and lil BHO Peep.

  • M. J. Monson

    Unions have outlived their usefulness. At one time they were needed to help the hard working AMERICANS. Now the only thing that they are good at is taking money from the hard working AMERICAN. They use that money for all of there personal needs and what is left over they use to undermine the American way of life. It’s time for all of those “loyal” union members to wake up and see just what they are going. Unions only support the most progressive, liberal, left-wing, communists.

    • jjdebird

      You said it!
      Verizon workers went on strike, right away they vandalized 27 properties.
      In a time when people want to work, would be glad to work, they walk out over condtributing to their health care & pensions? Sad.
      Glad I don’t use verizon.

  • GeeBee

    Choose your next candidate wisely. If the GOP is behind them watch out. If the Tea Party is behind them, they are one of us. I urge you all to join a Tea Party group so we can show the numbers like the unions are showing the numbers. If we had government money like they do we could travel the country and yell also. Get the book An Action Guide, read it and get active. It’s your only choice left.

    • jjdebird

      At this point I’d vote for anyone, knowing the out come could not get worse.

      Who ever the front runner is will need to be the one to vote for. A split vote between a republican & TEA party person will give Obama the election.

  • Rhonda Her

    I’m sure the Unions expect to be able to set up shop and unionize the work forces in the Mid East. Just think about all that new dues available.

    • jjdebird

      Yes, 4% of a pile of Cammel dung is what elected Obama, so they have done it before.

  • Jonathan Silberger

    I KNEW IT!! I’ve heard rumblings for quite a while that unions from this country went over there to stir up trouble. The wife of cass sunstein, samantha power, along with hillary clinton & susan rice, demanded obama engage u.n. troops to bomb egypt, libya, etc… against Robert Gates’ wishes. They’re pro-Islamist and the story keeps leaking out bit by bit. Where’s andy stern from seiu been?!
