Video released by NYPD shows 63-year-old Lisa Fithian, who has a long history of participating in protests like Occupy Wall Street

Fithian is a professional "protest consultant" who has been arrested over 80 times, Laura Ingraham of "The Ingraham Angle" said on her show Tuesday night.

Fithian has reportedly participated in protests on climate change, Occupy Wall Street, and now, the Free Palestine movement.

After midnight Tuesday, Fithian was seen on video instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over an academic building at Columbia University.

During “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday evening, Ingraham spoke with Ira Stoll, the founder and editor of theeditors.com, about Fithian and what she gets out of helping to train the new generation of activists.

“Some of the people involved are being paid money,” Stoll said, explaining he authored an article for The Wall Street Journal recently about how these groups are advertising for fellows to be paid $3,000 to work eight hours a week for three months, on campuses across the U.S. “Some of the people who have been quite prominently in these protests have been paid fellows with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Soros Open Society Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

“So, there’s big money behind these protests,” Stoll added.

He also spoke about how many of the people at the anti-Israel protests taking place at campuses like Columbia University are the same people who attend Black Lives Matter protests, as well as anti-Trump protests.

“It’s the same people out protesting. I’ve seen them,” Stoll said. “They just like to protest.”
He compared it to people who go out on weekends to play sports or go to religious services.

“This is an activity for these people, and until the revolution is accomplished, they’re not going to stop, or else until they are in jail,” he said.

"The issue is not not the issue - the issue is always The Revolution."

After the Revolution, these people go up against the nearest wall.

Why is Soros still consuming O2?

Students are being influenced by a network of troll farms coordinated by Iran to inflame the hatred of Jews. Anti-Jew teachers are part of that network.

It would be interesting to get a complete idea of the financial network involved in the demonstrations. People like George Soros need prosecution. The cost of signs, tents, compensation for the rally leaders, and transportation needs requires a financial network. That network needs to be rooted out and destroyed.

I think a lot of those protest participants see the protests as a way to get laid.

My wife pointed out to me that the tents look largely the same from coast to coast.

Iran and people like George Soros but not China and Russia?

We’re being overrun by commies and Marxists-

I feel that it is safe to conclude that the two largest commie nations on earth are involved.

From my observation, in the very beginning stages of the camps they tents varied but if the camp was “successful” it quickly grew with the same color and model tents, canopy, signs, etc.

It reminds me of BLM, the first few nights it seems like a honest local protest, variety of dress, signs, chants, wrapped up early evening, etc. Then in a matter of a day or two it was 99% people in all black, nearly identical homemade shields, etc.

Has all the signs of a well organized and funded backer.

Isn’t this instigating a riot?

These protests are disruptive, and intended to blackmail the
universities into doing anything the agitators demand.

To heck with that. Let’s start playing hardball back!

Organic protests have hand made signs. Many of these signs are professionally printed and dropped off in advance for people to pick up at the site. Some earnest but foolish people grab them and hold them up which is fine and legal, but I think the idea is in the hope of seeding a mob mentality. Like the summer of 2020, there were the people who peacefully marched, but there were also agitators who dropped off pallets of bricks, cases of Molotov cocktails, frozen cans and bottles etc. Not organic. Professional- with malice intent. They wanted some of the protestors to get swept up in the emotion and cross the line from peaceful march into violence. That’s why we have the phrase “mob mentality”. A person can be reasoned with. A mob has its own dynamic that cannot be easily controlled. Sometimes it’s a positive force like at a religious event or a music concert - the crowd gets a positive feedback loop in a shared experience. In this case it’s a negative feedback loop. The agitators and people who supply the tools of violence know this which is why they bring items that can be weaponized.

Many of these “protestors” were involved in the blm / antifa “Summer of Love” “fiery, but mostly peaceful ‘anti racist’ riots”.
Especially, the soros paid leaders.

This is not about race, imaginary palestine, Wakanda or anything else.

It is part of the worldwide communist revolution, a “color revolution” right here, in the good ol’ US of A.
Supported by the Demonrat Party and our feral gubmint.
