What should be done to any company that helps build the Ground Zero Victory Mosque: audits, audits, audits and scrutiny of all illegal employees
A friend of ours is a general contractor, and a few of us have worked over the years as project managers on assorted construction projects of varying sizes.
Every last one of these projects employed Hispanic men who spoke no English. Maybe they were landscapers, or day laborers, or guys who were paid in cash at the end of the day to haul away debris or otherwise do the things that legal workers wouldn’t do.
The construction industry is RIFE with labor fraud — and our friend the contractor tells us that he would not be able to stay in business if he had to pay documented workers fair wages on his projects. The illegals work for very little money, and if they are injured on the job, they just disappear into the night, because they are too afraid of being deported to file any kind of workers’ compensation claims that would raise the contractor’s insurance premiums.
So, here’s our thought: knowing this about the construction industry, how about America makes a deal with the construction companies licensed to operate in New York state. If any of them work on the Ground Zero Victory Mosque project, then Americans should make it their mission to audit these companies and find out the legal working status of EVERY LAST PERSON on those construction sites.
Every last one of them.
And not just the GZVM site itself, but on EVERY LAST SITE this construction company is working on.
It should be so toxic and problematic to work on the GZVM that no business in its right mind would want to draw that sort of scrutiny to itself. Taking on this project should be an invitation from the construction companies to Americans to do everything they can to put those contractors out of business.
If you take this job, you will lose all other jobs you have, and you will be out of business in a few years because Americans will shine such a bright light upon you and your business practices that you will not be able to keep your outfits afloat.
It’s a dirty secret the construction firms lean heavily on what’s essentially slave labor in the form of the illegal workers. Those of us who have dealt with these companies know this, and if push comes to shove and ground gets broken on this project, then anyone with a working knowledge of all the shady things construction firms do should laser-target every company involved in the building and air their dirty laundry to the world.
Then use that information to start seeking indictments of the executives signing off on all of this.
Build that Victory Mosque, and lose your company.
Simple as that.
Conservatives need to understand what "Belt & Suspenders" means
Here is an observation from us, as lifelong Democrats, on one of the ways Democrats beat Republicans so often even though the majority of Americans favor conservative positions on most things.
Time and again, we see conservatives fail to understand the “Belt & Suspenders” approach to politics…or, really, anything that Democrats want to achieve.
There’s some Alinsky wrapped up in this too, which Republicans ignore thinking they are “taking the high road”, whatever that means, while Alinsky saturation tactics are used to overwhelm them and win the day for Democrats.
“Belt & Suspenders” means having several strategies in play, simultaneously, as failsafes to assure victory in the end. This involves never having just one route to a win, but maintaining multiple lines of attack that all have equal chances of winning the day.
Think Tic, Tac, Toe.
Republicans tend to focus on either an up or sideways line of play. Democrats add the diagonal.
With the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, we need you conservatives out there to think of as many SIMULTANEOUS ways to stop this project as possible. Just as Democrats do when they want to stop something.
At the end of the day, we believe some obscure trade union will be the end of this monument to Islamic Conquest. It will be something like the Pipefitters Local, which will vote to not work on the project, after it is successfully pressured by conservatives and patriotic Americans…and lobbied relentlessly by those of us out there who know someone murdered by Muslims on 9/11.
Democrats can approve all the permits they want for this Ground Zero Victory Mosque. Democrats in office, like the two Demcorat Senators representing New York (up for re-election this year), and the entire Democrat New York Congressional delegation, can side with the White House and Nancy Pelosi and call anyone who opposes this abomination all sorts of names. The public should direct its ire at these people, but they are so brain-dead and absorbed in the Cult of Liberalism that they are tone deaf to almost everything the public wants.
The Ground Zero Victory Mosque will be stopped, but not because Democrats in office will come to their senses and sstop it. If you are waiting for Democrats to come to reason on anything, and are holding your breath doing so, please start breathing again. You have been blue in the face for thirty years or so at this point.
“Belt & Suspenders” means running CONCURRENT, COMPLEMENTARY campaigns against Democrats on this issue.
Here are just a few we can think of off the top of our heads. We want you to think of more and add them to this thread.
(1) Target big Democrat donors, and horrify them at the thought they will be identified as supporters of this Ground Zero Victory Mosque because their funds are enabling the mosque-supporters like Pelosi and Obama to remain in office. These big donors do not want their names or businesses hurt by association with this project. So, get them, as private citizens and Democrat financiers, on record against this…then pressure them for an answer on the question of why they are giving so much damn money to people like Pelosi and Obama (and Senators Gillibrand and Schumer), who want to see a monument to Islamic Conquest rise above Ground Zero. Democrats ignore the people, but they bow to donors.
(2) Target all construction companies licensed to operate in New York and make it known to their C-Suite executives that if they agree to build this Ground Zero Victory Mosque that for the rest of your life you will make it a hobby of yours to convice future clients from hiring this firm. Make it known in the construction industry that any company that accepts this project will have the perpetual scorn of the public brought down on it. Think about what Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Henry Gates, and the rest of the Race Industry does to corporations to scare them away from doing things the Race Industry does not want them to do. Those tactics are very effective, and as disgusting as these race hucksters are, you cannot argue with their results.
(3) Pre-emptively start a rebellion with the trade unions and other entities that must be present on a construction site for a building project of this nature to proceed. In Chicago, buildings cannot be built without certain guilds and craftsman reps present on the job. It’s largely a corruption and graft requirement, and we can’t imagine New York not having something like this too, forcing a project to employ all sorts of experts to do certain things that are written into city building codes. Ie, pipefitters from the proper pipefitting union must fit the pipes for the sprinklers. If that does not happen, the Fire Marshal will not allow the building to rise, because it is unsafe. Well, what if the pipefitters in New York who are authorized by the state to work on building projects all refuse to work on this job? What if the Fire Marshal refuses to sign off on the building? There can be no Victory Mosque unless all the various trade unions and guilds allow this building to be constructed.
(4) Send an SOS to organized crime in the New York/New Jersey area. This might sound absurd to you at first, but the crime families in major cities are actually very patriotic people. They are almost always in it for themselves, of course, but they are no fans of Islam. How can the Victory Mosque be built if all the supplies that are needed for the building site mysteriously fall off ships at the docks or are lost on the highway somewhere coming into the city? What about late at night when all of the bulldozers, cranes, and other machines needed suffer all sorts of bizarre mechanical problems. We hear there are a lot of raccoons and squirrels living in lower Manhattan that love messing around with machinery at night. And those machines all need to be certified as safe, for the crews to work, and having machines that constantly break down sure would seem to risk any safety certifications the project would have. The mob in this country might generally do a lot of bad things, but we have a sincere and honest hope the crime families of the tri-state area come together to do whatever they can behind the scenes to stop construction of this Victory Mosque if it would ever get that far.
(5) The gay bar idea adjacent to the mosque is just one concept for making the neighborhood wholly unappealling to the Islamists who want to built this Tower of Triumph over Ground Zero. Pork processing facilities, museusms of pork products through the years, and anything else pig related needs to go in the three block radius circling this Victory Mosque. We’ve suggested commissioning public art, like the fiberglass cows that are dotted around Chicago, but in pig form, to decorate the streets surrounding the Victory Mosque. If the city won’t approve that, then local graffiti artists should be employed by the mob to absolutely cover every available surface in the area with depictions of pigs…and portraits of Muhammad as portrayed by the character Sloth from The Goonies. Every artistic endeavor imaginable should be used to make this would-be triumphant Victory Mosque into an laughstock. Do not allow these Muslims to use this Victory Mosque as a propaganda and recruiting tool overseas. Let there be no angle in which it can be photographed without there being a giant pig sculpture or deformed depiction of Muhammad spoiling that shot.
Resist this project with everything that you have, in every creative angle you can think of.
Just like leaving the house with a belt, suspenders, an extra belt, packing tape, chains, rope, bubble gum (bacon flavored, of course), more suspenders, and a giant bunch of balloons to hold your pants up, approach the defeat of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque project with absolutely everything you can think of, simultaneously, so the Muslims and DemoThreats pushing this have 1,700 fronts to battle on.
That’s some Cloward-Piven action right back at them, baby.
We guarantee the Left knows how to dish stuff like this out, but has absolutely no experience defending against it because Republicans and conservatives at large have never turned these tactics against them.
If not now, with so much at stake, WHEN will conservatives coast to coast wake up and wise up?
Let's employ old anti-Apartheid tactics against Democrats and the Ground Zero Victory Mosque
Last night was 80s Request Night at Sidetracks here in Boystown.
We turn out to represent Laura Branigan, Bonnie Tyler, Whitney, Cyndi, and other ladies of the 80s we love, but who don’t get as much play as Madonna and other artists on request night. We also try to toss in some general randomness and novelty songs, just to keep the mix fresh. Sidetracks has a very strange policy, instituted by co-owner Chuck Hyde, of not playing any songs with “America” in the title (such as They Coming to America by Neil Diamond or Living In America by James Brown) because he claims they upset him — apparently his birthday is September 10th, and he was in New York on a ferry to the Statue of Liberty when Neil Diamond’s American tribute came over the loudspeaker, and whenever he hears it now he collapses into the fetal position because this was his birthday in 2001, the day before Muslims murdered 3,000 Americans by hijacking jetliners and crashing them into the World Trade Center.
One of us was in New York on September 10th, 2001 as well, and actually had breakfast in Windows on the World…the day before the restaurant was destroyed…and our friend Jane who worked in one of the towers was killed…yet, even though that was a more chilling memory than being on a ferry boat in the bay, we can listen to Neil Diamond without soiling ourselves, but whatever. We love Sidetracks, but they do a lot of bizarre things.
They will, however, play “Won’t Play Sun City”, a “We Are The World” type of song put together by a collection of 80s artists urging performers to boycott the little-known South African entertainment resort of Sun City. Due to Streisand Effect, telling people to boycott Sun City by way of a big video and song about not going there only put Sun City on the radar for many people…and made them curious about going there. Because, generally, people in the entertainment industry are stupid like this.
The song, however, got us thinking. Because it DID put pressure on all major American performing acts to boycott the concert venue at Sun City. None of the top talent of the day played Sun City after that. Some of them still won’t.
We think this should be done to the construction industry regarding the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.
An effort should be originated by ground level union members to ensure that their cement companies, steel manufacturers, work crews, and other elements of the industry refuse to submit RFPs and RFQs for this Ground Zero Victory Mosque.
RFPs are “request for proposals” and RFQs are “request for qualifications”. When a building project gets underway, firms are sent these RFPs and RFQs — which are booklets with information about the project — and the companies’ fill in the blanks stating how much their bids would cost. Then, the project manager hired by the owner of the property uses those RFP and RFQ responses to select the building team that will but the final product together.
We would like to see Americans ensure no construction companies are willing to take on this project.
No one licensed to do business in the state of New York should assist this Ground Zero Victory Mosque in any way.
Using Sun City as an example, performers who played in South Africa during Apartheid were ostracized by the rest of the entertainment industry. Playing Sun City killed their careers for a while.
If Turner Construction, for instance, decided to build the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, then Americans nationwide should aim their ire at the rest of Turner’s clients…and pressure them to fire Turner for building that monstrosity. The same should go for all the other firms involved in a project this big. If you submit a bid to work on the Victory Mosque, then you will lose money in the long run because of the bad publicity the company will receive for having a part in this horror.
We need to make companies see that being associated with the Ground Zero Victory Mosque would make them pennywise and pound-foolish. They will harm the longterm viability of their companies by making whatever they would get from the Wahabbiists from building this Islamic Conquest Monument.
The workers who do the actual building need to be reminded of the carnage of 9/11, and what Muslims did that day…and they need to have those images haunt them. They should not be able to live with themselves if they help raise a mosque on the site where so many Americans leapt to their deaths to avoid being incinerated by the flames caused by the jetliners Islam smashed into the Twin Towers.
If a Neil Diamond song, and it’s connection to 9/11, can still make a very rich Liberal here in Chicago soil himself — to the point where he’s so damaged he has to ban songs that remind him of 9/11 in his bar — then we can’t imagine how construction workers in New York City could be able to work on this project with a clear conscience.
There are many fronts involved in stopping this building from ever being built…and we think Sun City points us to one very effective avenue of resistance against this planned dhimmihood.
Don’t play Sun City.
Don’t work on the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.
Anyone who defies this will suffer great consequences.
Wednesday Open Thread: August 18th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Wednesday?
Are people where you live talking about the Democrats’ push to build the Ground Zero Victory Mosque?
Are you seeing any hit in the polls for Democrats backing this abomination?
Can you call your congressional representatives today and ask them where they stand on building a symbol of Islamic conquest on ground where one of our personal friends, Jane, was murdered nine years ago?
Because this is personal for us, folks. It’s personal for a great many Americans. And Democrats need to pay at the polls for what they are doing here.
