Gee, and we thought this was common knowledge! Last week the Daily Caller “broke” the story that SEIU has built a secret network of front organizations in cities around the country. Incorporated by SEIU as local non-profits, these front organizations hide their management by SEIU and pretend they act as independent grass-roots agents of change somehow spontaneously aggregated around an outrage. They wage concerted attacks against conservative political figures and targeted corporations. 
The individual activist groups use benign-sounding names including This Is Our DC; Good Jobs, Great Houston; Good Jobs, Better Baltimore; Good Jobs Now ; Fight for Philly; One Pittsburgh; Good Jobs LA; and Minnesotans for a Fair Economy. And they have of late grown increasing fond of tucking “99%” and “Occupy” into their rhetoric, primarily because no one could ever accuse SEIU of not beating a dead horse to dust. 
Those who spend enough time visiting these and other SEIU sites begin to recognize the website template and the unmistakable fingerprints of an SEIU creation. But the Daily Caller took that hunch a step further to show these and other “99%” and “Occupy” sites are registered to existing SEIU physical addresses or can be traced to the same SEIU-linked law firm. Many of the Internet domain names for the groups’ websites were originally registered through an anonymous proxy service. But records compiled by Robtex.com, a website reputation management firm, reveal that all of their IP addresses link back to a main SEIU Web server. Typically the “coalition” will list SEIU only as one insignificant contributing partner of many, when it is undoubtedly the only “partner” with a controlling interest. Another gambit is to staff the front group solely with organizers pulling their paychecks from SEIU. So why the secrecy? And don’t these covert stunts by SEIU play against the Occupy narrative of openness and accountability by the powers that be? How can you trust an organization that works so hard to be something it’s not and shields the true decision makers from public accountability? Could it be time to occupy SEIU?
