On Sep. 17, the ninth anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, protestors are planning to begin a “siege” of the White House that will last fifty days – right up until Nov. 3. The website for the event is planning to bring thousands of protesters into Lafayette Square to “lay siege to the White House”- Sarah Carter blog reported. 

The site also warns that “the possibility of a civil war breaking out sometime next year is no joke.”

The organizers are citing two main reasons for the planned occupation:

• an alleged lack of progress on Wall Street since the 2009 occupation;
• and that “Trump is trying to steal the election… and things could turn very ugly very quickly as November 3rd approaches.”

This organization is clearing stroking fear and indirectly suggesting violence

The specific demands are not clear but the site raises concerns about President Trump refusing to leave office if he loses and that “white supremacists are waiting in the wings, spoiling for a violent showdown.”

This tends to be a trend among radical left wing insurrectionist groups, labeling anyone who is pro American or Pro Trump or even slightly conservative as “white supremacist”

This is a dangerous tacit, designed to encourage violence, if anyone opposing their insurrectionist movement is a “white supremacist”, they are essentially calling for a civil war themselves. Luckily Lafayette Square and the immediate area near the White House is  one of the most secure places in the country, and it will be nearly impossible to smuggle in weapons and incendiary devices which “peaceful” ANTIFA affiliated groups are known for.

Still this could be a volatile situation. The site used for the advertisements, Adbusters, is a Vancouver crowd-funded online magazine that gives protesters and occupiers a place to advertise plans. One must ask is this foreign election interference?
