Quoted:
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but there is a higher level of money and organization at play here. This fits a political agenda perfectly and the timing is nice too.

You are correct! The higher level of money and organization is ANSWER (http://www.internationalanswer.org). It is a Marxist socialist organization. "ANSWER characterizes itself as anti-imperialist (read anti-Amerian here), and its steering committee consists of socialists, Marxists, civil rights advocates, and progressive organizations from the Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, Filipino, Haitian, and Latin American communities.
ANSWER has helped to organize many of the largest antiwar demonstrations in the United States since the September 11, 2001 attacks, and has also organized activities around a variety of issues, ranging from Palestine, to immigrant rights, to Social Security, and the extradition of Luis Posada Carriles. Though its national headquarters are in Washington, D.C., where it organizes its national antiwar demonstrations, the coalition's influence is seen as being strongest in San Francisco, and increasingly, in Los Angeles.
ANSWER's organizing strategy centers on acquiring police permits for public demonstrations, and organizing national demonstrations, giving the group leverage over other groups that do not have the permits or a national network...." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSWER Shok
