Obama Admin Orders Coast Guard to Escort Grain Ships to Port in Preparation for Massive Occupy Protest

In preparation for what the Occupy movement and its union-member counterparts have promised to be a massive (and potentially violent) protest, the Obama administration has ordered the U.S. Coast Guard to escort grain ships as they arrive at the Port of Longview’s EGT terminal in Washington some time this month.
The Daily News reports
EGT officials say they have not scheduled a date for the ship’s arrival. The freighter is expected to haul thousands of tons of grain to Asia, but opposition groups are already marshaling their forces to support the lengthy protest by union dock workers at the grain terminal.
“We just want to swell the population of the city to show there are people behind us,” said Jeff Washburn, president of the Cowlitz Wahkiakum Central Labor Council, which passed a resolution calling for a protest this week.
He added that the labor council plans no attempt to stop the ship, a sentiment echoed in a similar call for protest by leaders of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
According to Occupy Longview organizer Paul Nipper, Occupiers are taking an aggressive stance, inciting members across the country to consolidate outside port gates and sabotage efforts to load the ship.
You may recall the group shut down the ports — including the one at Longview — on December 8 and vowed future attacks on ports around the country.
The full report from TDN can be viewed here.

I happen to live just outside of Longview and this is the first I've heard of Coast Guard involvement.  I have to wonder what kind of action the "occupy crowd" has in mind.  I can't imagine how a group of slime balls could even contemplate stopping a freighter in the Columbia River.  If they try to invade the port, there will be major problems and I think the occupiers will not like a confrontation with the local swat team. 
 
In several court actions lately, some ILWU members who were charged with various infractions in regard to interfering with trains etc. and operations of the grain terminal have been given leniency by having charges dismissed.  I don't think the judges will be so sympathetic a second time around.
 
If there is prior notice of any action and if I'm not otherwise disposed, I might arrange to have a front row seat from the river, but it will be from a safe distance.

I'm really fed up with these occupy scum. Last night I thought of those occupy morons in Lou with the wind howling, snow blowing, and 14 deg. Hope they froze their butts off. The city wants the tents gone, waiting on a fed court ruling. The feds should have no say in Lou.
I can't imagine them being allowed to disrupt grain shipments. That would be akin to blocking folks food from their table. POWDERMAN.   >:( >:(

Simply amazing how many people are willing to toss the US Constitution in the trash can when the cause is not one they support. This movement is all a pretext by the NWO crowd so they can declare martial law and end the Constitution permanently and so many are falling right in line and agreeing to toss it.

Will we never learn from history, must we always have to keep repeating the same mistakes?

I must have missed the part in the Constitution where it gives a bunch of stinking bums, or anyone else the right to disrupt legal private enterprise by invading private property, or attempting to interfer with the navigation of a commercial vessel.  We're not talking about a peaceful protest staged on public property.  I'm no expert on the Constitution, but I doubt that it endorses anarchy.

Does this fall under the Posse Comitotus rule?
Can the President use the Military for local law enforcement outside of Washington DC?  Isn't that illegal?  Isn't that a high crime or misdemeanor?  Can you say impeachment?

It wasn't the Constitution that gave a bunch of stinking bums, or anyone else the right to disrupt legal private enterprise by invading private property, or attempting to interfer with the navigation of a commercial vessel, that was the Declaration of Independence.

Well said, magooch.  As long as they kept their protest peaceful and on public property, obeying the law, then fine.  I may not agree with them, but I support their constitutional right to protest and assemble peaceably.  But once they started interfering with the operation of a port, invading private property, or otherwise breaking the law then they forfeited that right.

The union has been trying to disrupt the west coast ports for some time now without success. Now they have convinced a bunch of stupid kids to help them with their dirty work. Not surprising the money behind both groups is probably coming from the same sources.

I have no idea what information the federal govenment might be privy to that would prompt any kind of intervention by the Coast Guard, but I wouldn't put anything past what the occupiers and the ILWU might have in mind.  I can't even imagine what interest the occupiers might have in any of this to begin with.  The whole thing is nothing more than a conflict between the Longshoremen and the grain export business that operates on the Port of Longview property.  The Longshoremen think they have a contract that gives them a right to all jobs on port property.  Maybe they do and maybe they don't; that will be decided in court, but I don't think they are going to do themselves any good by taking action that will involve law enforcement.

The Declaration of Independance was not about one group of malcontents wanting private property that others have worked for, it was about the natural freedom of man and self determination.  Not obeying the arbatrary whims of king or dictator.  It was about throwing off the royal yoke and being able to work hard for your self.  Making products and services that people want.  Creating jobs, creating wealth, and making other lives better.  Unlike Obama Care you are not compelled to buy products.  You go to the free market to purchase the best product you can afford.  As profits grow more people will enter that market providing equal, alternative, or superior goods.  The Occupy goobers are not compelled to buy I Phones.  Not compelled to borrow thousands of dollars to go to school.  Not compelled to steal private property and take over public spaces and create a health hazard with their waste.  They want them, the people that created the IPhone, build Colleges and work at them,  started a business, spending their time and money to develope a good or service needed.
Comparing the founding fathers who risked life and treasure, many going broke over the costs of the war and some being killed, looking for a better future for their and your families, with a group that wants things for free, thinking others should pay for items they want and are not willing ot work for.  many of the occupy leaders are from wealthy families and are not living in the tents but are staying in luxury hotels.  Much like Obama who made millions on selling a book (pure capitalism) and telling you that Capitalism is wrong and evil.

Read  "Atlas Shrugged"  It is a scary prediction of what is happening to our society. You can watch it every night on the news how it seems like the Dems have read the book too and are trying to make it a reality. Demonize the producers and make dependence a virtue.

For some reason the Democrats have the world upside down.  They claim to be for the common man, the blue collar worker, and yet they want to close factories, mining, Refining, and shipping,   Thinking that is far better ot have these jobs over seas.  The fake enviromentalists do not want the air or water pollution.  They say act locally think globaly.  If they really thought globally they would want manufacturing, mining, and refining here in the US where it will be done cleanly and efficinetly.   That is is better to ship a Blue collar union job over seas due to the heavey EPA regulations designed to eliminate jobs. We need only look at the Toxic waste the Old Soviet Union left and the one that China is producing.  Some how rather than seeing our standard of living as something for others to strive for, our economy as something to duplicate, these morons want to reduce our standard of living to that of the developing world.  Some how if we all lived like Obama's brother in Kenya on $20 a Month we will be a better nation.  For now they want people on the public dole, that having lazy people they give money to and vote for more.  At the point when they take over,  ending your rights,  Those same benevolent leaders will turn on the lazy that supported them and send them off to do jobs they want done.  You will be a slave to the government like in China, Viet Nam, and Cuba where you will do as they say, that new products are not needed.  Invention is curtailed.  Medicine is curtailed.  When have you heard of a cure or medicine ever comming out of a socilist system?  We have the best health care in the world, heads of state, come here for care that they can not get in their own country, and yet they want us to be like them?  Rather than the other way around.
