An Occupy Portland activist received death threats after she incorporated the group and blocked fellow activists from accessing the website. Oh… And $20,000 also went missing.Oregon Live reported, via Free Republic:

Organizers of Occupy Portland say they fear as much as $20,000 donated to the group through a PayPal account has disappeared.

They also say the group’s finance committee has hijacked the demonstration’s Internet domain name and filed for incorporation against the wishes of the group’s decision-making body.

The demonstrator who filed the papers with the state said Wednesday she did so to protect the protest, and she has received death threats as a result.

Jordan LeDoux, who works for the media, communications, public relations and web team of the demonstration, said Wednesday that since 8 p.m. Tuesday, Occupy Portland has not been able to get into its Internet page, occupyportland.org.

LeDoux says a member of the finance committee apparently took control of the website.

Papers filed with the Oregon secretary of state’s office on Monday show that an entity called “Occupy Portland” was registered as a nonprofit.

But LeDoux said the demonstration’s General Assembly, where the protesters come to consensus on issues, had repeatedly declined to incorporate with the state.

The “registered agent” for the incorporated body is listed as Reid Jackson of Hillsboro. LeDoux said Jackson was also on Occupy Portland’s finance committee.

In a telephone interview, Jackson said she undertook the incorporation “to protect these people. … I’ve tried explaining it to them, but they won’t listen to me. There is someone who has infiltrated the group and is trying to capitalize on the money.”

Jackson would not identify the “infiltrator,” but she said that disputes over the finance committee had escalated to the point where she had received death threats.

Lol, the anarchists are turning themselves into capitalists. It’s just funny. The really hilarious part is where they are screaming that the homeless who didn’t “work” for the protest are taking the “workers” food. In other words, they are complaining about income redistribution.

In a telephone interview, Jackson said she undertook the incorporation “to protect these people. … I’ve tried explaining it to them, but they won’t listen to me.

the part she left off~~~ becuase they are stupid useful idiots whos brains are addled from years of propaganda instead of an education and therefore have no critical thinking skills with which to be reasonable.

Decades ago when I was young, I never met a more distrustful group of people than a bunch of hippies and under cover Socialists. These people are not your friends, do not trust them. When you are broke you won’t see them anymore and you will be standing in the middle of the street, at 2 am, naked, and no where to go, without a dime to your name, and they will not help you.

They are the most dishonest people I ever met who claim to be so caring, loving of people who are different from them, would give you the shirt off their backs, at least that’s what they tell you they will do, would go the extra mile to help a friend, bunch of bull crap I’ve ever heard in my life!

These people will lie to you right to your face, as any dishonest person would do, but these people have made a science out of it. It’s because after all, they’re Communists or have leanings in that direction, and what is Communism if it’s not the biggest lie in man’s history. What they say is the government will take care of all your needs, just rely on them and everything will be alright. Didn’t that Black woman say after Obama was elected was that she wasn’t going to have to worry anymore about how she was going to pay her rent, how she was going to make her car note, or how much gas was going to cost. She said that Obama was going to take care of her since he’s President now. Yeah, all is well.

These people, the Occupiers, are deluded and living in a fantasy world. Marxists are expert at taking advantage of human neurosis, and know how to take your fantasy off into left field, and that’s where they leave you. In the mean time they are stealing every dime you entrusted them with because they “said” you could trust them, or while sitting around smoking dope you thought you all had a moment where you were all one. And while you were out in left field talking to yourself, they’re cleaning out the bank account.

Virginia TEA party sues City of Richmond for $10,000

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Richmond tea party is demanding a refund of about $10,000 from the city, claiming it unfairly charged them for rallies while allowing the Occupy protesters to use the same space for several weeks for free.

The political organization is sending the city an invoice for the charges incurred for three rallies held in Kanawha Plaza over the past three years. The Occupy protesters have been camped in the plaza since Oct. 15.

Richmond Tea Party spokeswoman Colleen Owens says it’s not fair that her group had to pay fees for permits, portable toilets, police presence and emergency personnel. The group also had to purchase a $1 million insurance policy.

Tea party groups across the nation have raised similar concerns since the protests spread from New York earlier this month.

Jim Jones cult reincarnate? A supposedly utopia in the making except when money and bickering rear its ugly head.

The real reason to incorporate is probably to protect the cash from lawsuits when the rape victims, business owners who have damages from the protests, and others who have been harmed by the protests decide to hire lawyers.

This is better than Monty Python. If the poor liberal comedians were not, well, liberal they would have endless laughs from this head exploding hypocrisy. Incorporating an anti-corporate movement. You just can’t make this kind of stuff up.

Has the Health Department certified this food preparation area? My concession trailer has to go through rigorous tests for food safety whenever we do a show – I wouldn’t take a sealed bottle of water from this pig sty. Ugh!

Jimmy Buffett. We are the people, they couldn’t figure out
We are the people our parents warned us about.
These morons left to their own devices will self destruct. If is wasn’t for the MSM, obama, Pelosi and the progs, support they would have been laughed out of existence months ago. It is entertaining, every day I look forward to a new brilliantly executed blunder.

Death threats?

Better get the security council involved.

Liberals scamming liberals…
Wait ’til Barry gets through with them. This’ll be remembered as a picnic.
