N17: #Occupy’s “Day of Action” Directly Inspired By Marxist Terrorist Group

Hmmmmmm….November 17th??? Why November 17th??? Of all days, why would a leftist organization pick November 17th to stage a mass protest??
The CFR reminds us of the significance of that date:
What is November 17?
A radical, leftist Greek terrorist group, also known as 17 N or N 17, with a tiny membership and a loathing for America, the West, and capitalism…
What sort of attacks has November 17 launched?
The organization’s first known attack came in December 1975, when the CIA’s Athens station chief was shot with a .45-caliber pistol, November 17’s favorite weapon. Since then, the group has claimed responsibility for twenty-one murders, including the killings of a U.S. Navy captain, a U.S. defense attaché, a Turkish diplomat, and a British defense attaché. November 17’s initial attacks were directed at senior U.S. officials and Greek public figures, but during the 1980s the group expanded its operations to include bombings of ordinary citizens and property.
Where did November 17 get its name?
From the November 17, 1973, student uprising at Athens Polytechnic University. Twenty students were killed when Greek army tanks suppressed the protests, and the group formed in part to retaliate against the ruling military junta.
–So, we have a far left protest group, with tons of communist, socialist, and anarchist ties.
–We have a group that’s focused on the banking meltdown and it’s resulting potential cuts in public services, a situation playing out most prominently in Greece.
–We have one of the most prominent academic supporters specifically calling for Greek style riots.
–We have a poster made for the protests, aside from the obvious Communist imagery, that utilizes tanks. Why tanks? Again–”Twenty students were killed when Greek army tanks suppressed the protests…”
We’re supposed to believe that this organization HAD NO IDEA that they were scheduling their highest profile event so far, on the exact date that inspired a Communist terrorist group that hated American capitalism?
They MUST have known. THEY MUST HAVE KNOWN.
So what does that mean for us?
One 17N protester has his answer: “we’re going to burn this shi* to the motherfu**ing ground on the 17th!”
