LOS ANGELES.–Thanks to the benighted U.S. press, the public is in the dark about what’s really behind the so-called pro-Palestine rallies happening on college campuses. If you listen to the cosmetic reporting, the demonstrations are from innocent students concerned about the growing deaths and suffering of Gaza Strip residents, caught in the crosshairs of the latest Israeli-Hamas war, something that’s been going on for the last 17 years after Hamas seized the Gaza Strip June 14, 2007 from the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority, led by 87-year-old leader Mahmoud Abbas. When it comes to the latest round of programmed anarchy on college campuses, it’s eerily reminiscent to George Floyd’s Black Lives Matter protests, Occupy Wall Street, anti-fossil fuel rallies and other similar causes. When 63-year-old agitator Lisa Fithian showed up at Columbia, it all fell into place.
Fithian has been agitator at all major street protests heavily funded by various charities supported by billionaire financier George Soros, whose cash manages to find its way into various radical groups and causes. Fithian is well-known to the law enforcement community having been arrested some 80-100 times. Described by radical leftist publication “Mother Jones” as the “nation’s best known protest consultant,” a euphemism for professional revolutionary. Fithian has fought the good fight against the Iraq War, hurricane Katrina’s Louisana communities of color, Extinction Rebellions and Occupy Wall Street. Wherever law enforcement sees Lisa Fithian they know that someone like Soros foots the bills behind the scenes. Earning about $300 a day for her agitating services, Fithian doesn’t come for free.
Fithian was filmed by NYPD instructing pro-Palestine agitators as they entered Hamilton Hall, the historic site where anti-Vietnam War protesters ransacked the building in 1968. “What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators,” said New York Mayor Eric Adams. NYPD’s intel office said at least half the protesters at Columbia, including most illegally camping out in tents, were from outside sources. Adams was the first New York official to defy the media narrative that only student protesters demonstrated at Columbia and occupied Hamilton Hall. Adams said agitators caused “serious public safety issues,” defying Columbia’s own faculty that spurred on the pro-Palestine protests, despite the involvement of professional agitators like Fithian. Adams, not the New York Times, was the first to tell the truth about Columbia rabble rousing.
Why hasn’t the New York Times exposed to the public what’s behind the Columbia and now Fordham University pro-Palestine demonstrations? “We have sounded the alarm several times, before about external actions who attempted to hijack this private protest,” said Adams, NYPD said that Fithian won’t be intimidated by the police or stop her activities as long as someone pays for her services. Whether it’s the climate change protests, Occupy Wall Street or any other cause, Fithian’s for hire, knowing how to barricade doorways and keep police at bay. Fithian cut her teeth in the 1980s organizing anti-racist demonstrations, eventually playing a pivotal role in the months of anarchy that followed the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd. Playing a key role since 2012 in the Occupy Wall Street movement, Fithian has survived over 40-years fighting authority seeking to maintain law and order.
Fithian likes to pray on young gullible and impressionable youth, mainly college students, harnessing youthful exuberance of rebels looking for cause. Knowing the tricks of how to deal with tear gas or barricading buildings, Fithian knows how to battle the police. “When there is a some conflict, or this aren’t going the way that we wants them to go, or people don’t have a good long-term plan,” an anonymous twenty-something told Mother Jones. “I have heard other and myself say, “Damn it, where is Lisa Fithian?” known in radical circles and the go-to person for professional agitators. Why does the New York Times, Washington Post and other liberal print and broadcast outlets pretend that the college campus pro-Palestine protests around the country are not driven by professional agitators? U.S. press seems aligned with the anarchy movement.
No telling how many 1099s Fithian has received over the years by charities tied to George Soros and other leftist funders. No question that Fithian knows all the players or financiers in the revolutionary industry, including Drummond Pike’s San Francisco-based Tides Center that get millions from George Soros. Tides center donates generously to the Palestinian-funded Adalah Center that’s bought tents for pro-Palestine sit-ins or camp-ins around the country. Fithian is just one cog in the wheel that runs revolutionary movements in the U.S. and around the world. “Nobody is going to say that what Lisa does is not badass so she is in a very strategically important position of teaching kids who want to badass to be smart,” said Max Berger, an Occupy Wall Street advocate. Thanks New York Mayor Eric Adams for outing Lisa Fithian, not the New York Times.
