The plan is designed to destroy JP Morgan, nuke the stock market, and weaken Wall Street's grip on power, thus creating the conditions necessary for a redistribution of wealth and a change in government.
The former SEIU official, Stephen Lerner, spoke in a closed session at a Pace University forum last weekend.
Lerner's plan is to organize a mass, coordinated "strike" on mortgage, student loan, and local government debt payments--thus bringing the banks to the edge of insolvency and forcing them to renegotiate the terms of the loans. This destabilization and turmoil, Lerner hopes, will also crash the stock market, isolating the banking class and allowing for a transfer of power.
Lerner's plan starts by attacking JP Morgan Chase in early May, with demonstrations on Wall Street, protests at the annual shareholder meeting, and then calls for a coordinated mortgage strike.
Lerner also says explicitly that, although the the attack will benefit labor unions, it cannot be seen as being organized by them. It must therefore be run by community organizations.
Lerner was ousted from SEIU last November, reportedly for spending millions of the union's dollars trying to pursue a plan like the one he details here.
He said, "There are actually extraordinary things we could do right now to start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement.'

Townhall reveals: Far-left social justice teachers never miss an opportunity to push their agenda in the classroom. As you’ll see in my upcoming book, “Indoctrination: How ‘Useful Idiots’ Are Using Our Schools to Subvert American Exceptionalism,” leftist teachers use moments like the #OccupyWallStreet protests around the country to push their agenda of shifting America leftward away from a free market system.
The New York Times has also published a lesson plan [PDF here] for teachers, entitled, “Who Are the 99 percent? Ways to Teach About Occupy Wall Street.” The plan begins:
“Jobs, Justice and Education”
“Save the American Dream”
“We are the 99%”
Those purveyors of straight journalism at the New York Times – they’re so helpful in providing materials so students can “learn” about what’s behind #OccupyWallStreet. http://townhall.com/columnists/kyleolson/2011/10/27/far-left_teachers_and_nytimes_promote_lesson_plans_on_occupywallstreet/page/2
The New York Times has also published a lesson plan [PDF here] for teachers, entitled, “Who Are the 99 percent? Ways to Teach About Occupy Wall Street.” The plan begins:
Overview | Why are protesters occupying Wall Street? What are they protesting, and what are their goals? In this lesson, students are introduced to Occupy Wall Street and then investigate the movement more deeply.“Human Need Not Corporate Greed”
Warm-Up | Provide students with the following six slogans that have been displayed on placards during demonstrations being staged as part of a political movement. (At this point, do not identify the movement; you may also want to obscure the fact that the movement is contemporary.) Invite the class to guess which movement the placards are from.
“Jobs, Justice and Education”
“Save the American Dream”
“We are the 99%”

Remember just a few days ago when AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka told C-Span viewers that his federation was only providing support, places to meet, water, food, but NO money?
Well, it turns out the AFL-CIO has vowed to provide legal support and is also encouraging people to be arrested…http://www.redstate.com/laborunionreport/2011/10/24/afl-cio-vows-to-be-occupywallstreet-protesters-get-out-of-jail-free-card/

The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities, sources tell FoxNews.com.
For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.

“The one thing that we absolutely know for sure is that if we don’t work even harder than we did in 2008, then we’re going to have a government that tells the American people, ‘you are on your own,’” Obama told a crowd of 200 donors over lunch at the W Hotel.
“If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own,” he said. “That’s not the America I believe in. It’s not the America you believe in.” http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/10/obama-if-we-lose-in-2012-government-will-tell-people-youre-on-your-own/

The Baltimore Sun writes: At a San Francisco fundraiser yesterday, the President had this to say:
