In hilarious irony, they’re protesting and “occupying” the offices of Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE), a Soros-backed organization, demanding the group “Cut the Checks.”
They’ve created a Twitter “hashtag” and have promised to stage a sit-in outside the offices until they get their money.
Weaselzippers has a great summary of how it all went down. The Soros groups placed ads calling on “individuals and grassroots groups” to head to Ferguson to rile things up.
They were promised hundreds or thousands of dollars to “take trips that directly help attendees advocate for police accountability and black lives.”
On May 14, MORE began cutting checks for the money-hungry faux-protesters, but not everybody got paid.
Lots of folks doing work & acting on conscience. It is not fair that a group of 20 get $50,000 for throwing a tantrum. #Cutthecheck— elizabeth vega (@chicanapoet1) May 14, 2015

The short of it is that Ordower and others promised black people money if they traveled to Ferguson and “simulated chaos.” Now that the protests are over, blacks are – rightly – demanding the money they were promised. So they’re protesting the group that promised them money if they protested.WCC hot seat pic.twitter.com/Uo65IC2Uuz— Search4Swag (@search4swag) May 14, 2015
This is the stage show that is “grassroots” politics today. In fairness, the Tea Party has done the same thing:
I suppose the only difference is that the Tea Party pays their bills.
