Where Were You ?
- Or -
Why Protests Are A Necessity
(Takin' It To The Street !)

San Francisco, Cal. - Sept. '05 (photo courtesy SF IMC)
For the last couple of years, Protest News has been searching out every protest and
demonstration in this country and abroad, collecting well over a thousand reports.
There have been gatherings of hundreds of thousands of people angry about the
disastrous results from the NeoCons' murderous and ruinous policies.
- The Environment.
- The Economy.
- Schools.
- Jobs.
- Katrina.
- Afghanistan.
- Iraq.
- Lebanon
- Iran.
Mothers & Fathers, Aunts & Uncles, Sons & Daughters,
demonstrating all over the world in record numbers.
The largest global protest in Earth's history, February 15th and 16th 2003,
close to 10 million
people in over 50 countries protested the Iraq war.
500,000 people in NY City marched through the streets during the
Republican National Convention in 2004.
From New York City, to Washington D.C., to London, to Baghdad.
London, Sept. '05 (photo courtesy UK IMC)
There have been promising demonstrations at the offices and even the homes of
government officials (especially in the DC area) that are raising the hairs on the
back of the necks of the Neo-Cons.
While protests, much like boycotts, rarely affect immediate changes in policy,
what they do accomplish is far greater.
They rattle the cages our leaders have put themselves in.
(They are afraid of us.)
They demonstrate the will of the people.
They let us know collectively that we are not alone.
That our suspicions about them are confirmed.
So now, silently, singularly, we sign those petitions.
We vote a certain way.
We donate to our champions to overthrow tyranny.
The Government is threatened by this.
The corporate controlled media thinks that if they don't show it on TV,
or print it in the paper, then it isn't happening.
But it is.
And we all see it.
So they come after us.
There are very disturbing emergences of infiltrations by police
and government agents into the anti-war organizations, designed to cause
distrust and turmoil within as well as identifying and labeling activists as terrorists.
They infiltrate organizations, pushing radical ideas, to discredit and possibly arrest
the members in dog and pony terrorist shows.
A Recent example is the June 22nd Sears Tower Bomb plot.
7 innocuous guys in a warehouse in Miami are infiltrated by the FBI who gave
them money,
who coincidentally, were the only ones mentioning al-Qaeda.
Even churches are not immune.
People are herded into "Free Speech Zones" far away from their targets.
It doesn't matter.
What matters is that they are there.
Visible.
And when we see them being beaten and locked up,
we suddenly have second thoughts about what is really happening.
We begin to fear our government more than the terrorists.
That people can support party over country,
even when that party is running the country over a cliff
is truly astonishing and treasonous.
We must continue to present the facts about the illegal pre-emptive war in Iraq;
the massive profits from this illegal pre-emptive war;
the illegal use of horrific uranium (nuclear) weapons;
and the misleading tactics (lies) used to push for the illegal pre-emptive invasion in Iraq
to your neighbors and townspeople.
Don't wait 'til Cheney or Bush comes to your town to organize a demonstration.
Better to plan ahead. Flash mob in front of them.
Block their access like the students at Stanford did.
Cindy Sheehan made Bush cut his last vacation short.
Rove recently had his meeting interrupted.
Students turn their backs on Gonzales during his speeches.
Rumsfeld is constantly heckled.
It may not seem like anything in the short term, but the NeoCons are worried.
So they promote more fear, Fear, FEAR !
But we're not buying it.
Repugnicans are backing away from Bush.
Take the story of a 57 year old insurance agent who was just living his life in Fresno, Cal.
Like many of us, he was drawn into this by a desire to protect our country.
"It takes time. But there have been protests like ours all over the country,
and slowly it does matter. I am a good student of history and protests matter.
They mattered for women's rights and civil rights, and they will matter for peace."
Start organizing events to wake your neighbors up to the facts that have been with-held
from them for years...the old "soap box" thing.
Get these politicians voted out.
Or join the organizations already established and jump into the fray.

Democrat Gatekeeper's Camptown Races Do-Da
Written by Ed Ward, MD
"What do you get when you fall in [Party] love ?
'Cause [Camp] - I've been there and I'm glad I'm out.
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you.
That's why I'm here to remind you.
You only get lies, and pain, and sorrow", sang The Carpenters.
Prophecy from the past ?
No, but the old lyrics and title seem to blend with the current political fiasco in which
freedom loving Americans currently find ourselves.
What do you do when America's discontent with the democrat'
( rats, dims, or for a real laugh democratic) and the republican's ( repugs) party
is at an all time high ?
Enough correct and righteous outrage that many simply call both parties -
Americans for Democratic (apparently, democratic substituting for democrat
similar to the currently spun substitution of democracy) Action.
The ADA states, "...we lobby through coalition partnerships, through direct advocacy,
and through media." The direct inference being democrats will lobby through a
'coalition partners' without the recognized connection of direct advocacy.
According to democratic spin this stated strategy seems to also make the word deception
interchangeable for democrat, democratic, and even democracy.
Who is the Camp Democracy (Democrat - CD), http://www.campdemocracy.org/ owner ?
David Swanson, owner and Co-Founder of AfterDowningStreet.org another 'nonpartisan'
coalition and Director of Democrats.com for those that happen to go to the
Co-Founder link
after the 'nonpartisan' statement in 'aboutus'.
The other named Co-Founders:
Tim Carpenter - National Director of Progressive Democrats of America,
(many times referred to as PDA without expansion),
and also on the Steering Committee of ' Camp Democrat' just one of the other
'nonpartisan' coalitions.
Bob Fertik - Co-Founder of Democrats.com
Steve Cobble - Policy advisor of PDA
John Bonifaz - National advisor board member of PDA
How does David Swanson teach "How to lobby the public ?" at AfterDowningStreet ?
Almost word for word the same way Mike Hersh , PDA staff writer and steering committee
member of ' Camp Democrat', tells progressive democrats to 'lobby',
"Hi, would you like to help ____________? We have a national grassroots campaign
to put pressure on our representatives to co-sponsor ____________."
Nope, you are not lobbying for partisan democrats with partisan views and
partisan agendas.
You are lobbying for a pure, honest, and non-partisan 'grassroots campaign'.
This is clearly deception and deceit by omission of partisan objectives for
democrat agendas.
So much for the 'progressive/grassroot democrats,
democratics, those of democracy,
it has been the deception,
deceit and lies of BOTH political parties of elitists that has gotten US
exactly where we are today - war, tyranny, treason, fascism,
and the verge of a depression.
Only fully disclosed truth can make a real democratic republic.
Want to become a PDA Chapter, but not let anyone know ?
No problem according to PDA, just form your group before you join PDA as they state:
Already existing groups -- such as Democratic Clubs, Peace Groups, Meet-Ups,
Young Democrats, Senior Citizen Groups, or other special interest groups
(or possibly progressive grassroots republicans would also work, so as not to leave
out any possible deceptive group names ?) --can become a PDA Chapter while
maintaining their original identity."
The Steering Committee of 'Camp Democrat consists of 12 members.
- Tim Carpenter - National Director of PDA
- Mike Hersh -
PDA staff writer, writer and webmaster of mikehersh.com:
political commentary & analysis (where "about us" reveals a 'nonpartisan organization' yet somehow democrat and PDA don't seem to make entry),
and several other political egroups
- Karen Bradley of PDA and Democracy (democrat MoveOn) Cell Project,
- David Swanson - PDA board member, Director of Democrats.com,
- Christy Yorty - vocal MoveOn member,
- Jo Freeman - prominent 60's liberal democrat activist for past much needed women's equality (unlike the present women's movement that has forgotten
what equality means and presses for women as the 'more equals'
in the destruction of fathers, children, families, and this country,
by the breaking of the backbone of this country - the family unit),
- Charles Jenks - no official democrat politics noted on google search,
only those of sociolism (we frightens me more than if he were a democrat,
as this country has far too many socialist values already.
It's not politically viableon its own, but intermingled in the democrat party
it is very dangerous), and does not reveal individual interaction with
individual PDA activists. Jenks is also past president of Traprock Peace Center
- Linda Wiener - significant individual sponsor of 'CD',
- Somewhat of an enigma, Sunny Miller - current director of Traprock Peace Center and a participant in at least on 911 Truth Conference.
Primary sponsor of 'Camp Democrat' the Velvet Revolution (VR) on brief inspection
had no direct ties to 'democrat', just lots of democratic and democracy.
However, two points of insight were noted.
VR takes credit for being a 'founding member' of AfterDowningStreet,
which we know from
previous notations was founded by democrats.
Dr. Connie Rice gets credit for a "velvet revolution" and stated,
"It's time for a regime change in Balarus."
In this reporter's view, that is exactly what is being planned in the US -
trading one regime for another regime. Elitists repeating a near centurial cycle
that has progressed to today's current crisis.
This recycling can not be allowed to happen again.
America needs a regimes removal, not a regime change.
The US must have representation upholding the original intent of the Constitution.
This return to the original intent of the Constitution would drastically
reduce
this government's
stolen powers and indeed the powers
of the political parties themselves.
It was 'CD's' refusal to admit the 911 Truthers to the upcoming Washington,
DC rally that
caused this reporter's investigation into ' Camp Democrat'.
PDA listed 911 Truther,
National 911 Truth.org, as an ally, but when it came to
allowing 911 Truth information to be
shared at " Camp Democrat" giving much
needed and devastating facts on not only the repugs party,
but also the rats party, by their so called ignoring, or even denial of facts.
PDA rightfully feared the political suicide of both parties and balked big time.
A request for some of the email correspondence between PDA, the main CD organizers,
and 911 Truthers produced multiple email forwards.
One of the well written and thought out responses came after a request for
contributions for
PDA from a dyed in the wool democrat of almost 3 decades after
PDA had declined to allow
911 Truthers access to a table or stage during
the 17 day event.
With the factual notation that illustrates my previous point very succinctly,
"When the anti-war movement finds out the truth - that even the PDA has been lying
(by omission) about 911 to them ? You might as well start networking now in order to find
a job within the Green Party."
"Camp Democrat" is rapidly approaching. The inter-party vital message will shortly be
delivered by the messengers. For the most part, both the messengers and the message
are in their infancy and are pure. It is critical that it be delivered, praised, and rejoiced
with the full support of all the people in unity.
However, exposure of the democrat elitists organizing, directing, deleting,
and amplifying portions of the message must be shown for the total truth to be
delivered to both parties. The republicans that have predominately orchestrated the
recent denial of rights by tyranny, and the democrats that have predominately orchestrated
past denial of rights by tyranny, while turning a blind eye to the
recently allowed cataclysmic
actions that been allowed to progress unhampered -
occasionally even openly assisting those actions.
The unified chant of Peace Now, No Secret Vote, The People United for Rights,
and 911 Truth will send the required message to both parties.
Twelve words that can return this country to its glory instead of its demise.
Those four rally demands ingrained in our Citizen's minds and hearts will allow
the solving of the other lesser government abuses.
Until The People as a whole realize the extent of those topics and embrace them,
we will have tyranny by this government.
Almost every messenger present will have no problem with the shouting of Peace Now,
No Secret Vote, and The People United for Rights.
Only 1 out of 8 messengers know the 911 Truth message.
The 911 messengers will need days, projectors, DVDs, experts, DVD players, graphs,
slo-motion equipment, magnifying lenses, an almost endless list of supplies and explanations
to get that message across to 7 other messengers.
Wrong.
All that is needed is 1 picture and one questioning sentence.
If the WTC buildings simply collapsed, how did this 600,000 lb (270 Tons) steel beam
(as quoted and pictured by FEMA), float 390 feet (minimum distance required)
and embed itself in the Amex building ?
If anyone does not understand that 270 Tons does not float in the air and embed itself
in a building 390 feet away from a simple almost footprint building collapse,
then they are not going to be 'fooled' by any moving pictures or explanations.
At this point, either their intent, sanity, or ability to care for themselves needs
much more scrutiny
than this basic physics problem that causes significant rethinking
of this government's
footprint collapsing theory.
(A notarized as to origin larger picture might also be useful.
Author Dr. Stefan Grossman
draws attention to this beam and a little more depth in,
I See A Great Wind.)
Ordinarily, I close with my name and reference to my archive.
However, this article involves some very powerful organizations, corporations,
and individuals and has the potential for a wide distribution.
This last article is old, but there is still one cutting edge bit of information contained in it.
Late menstrual cycles (clots) of possibly exposed military personnel to DU and/or any
female sexual partner in which pregnancy was a possibility need to be placed in regular
rubbing alcohol and brought to their physician for microscopic evaluation of deformity to
prove the hazards of DU beyond a reasonable doubt.
Now the reader no longer needs to read the article for the vital information,
but it is still an interesting read along with several other topics in my archive.
Legal Disclaimer: This article is entirely, completely, and only my opinion based on the
interpretation of the referenced information. While the views above may be shared
by many millions exhausted by this government, they are only my views,
and I do not imply that they are actually shared by anyone else.

Local Solution To Grow America Great Again
Real Freedom In Our Lifetime
Written by Paul from Poker Face
What part of this freedom rant is about, is to start planting some of these
love-seed ideas,
to make your own world a better place.
Ideas that will free mankind of their serfdom on the corporate-global plantation.
Ideas to help, to teach humanity, to thrive with love and prosperity,
and to forever put away those that propagate death, misery, and greed.
For humanity to survive and thrive we must destroy/annihilate the control that the
greed cartels monopolistic distribution systems have over every basic need
we human folk need.
Man thrives when we are all part of Gods economic pie.
Costs come down appreciably when there are many producers of these basic needs.
Where we are headed now is for all corporations to become
ONE giant all-purpose Mega-company like Wally World Mart.
In the Global World Order there will be no competition,
and 'Resistance Is Futile'... or so 'they' say.
To free ourselves from these Corporate Global Monopolies,
we need a New Matrix, a New Paradigm than the one we are currently living in.
We call it, "The Local Solution".
Otherwise known as the..."Think Local, Fuck Global" attitude.
Globalism is for the Corporate parasites that have no allegiance to any God,
Country, or Family and Destroy the nation state.
Treaties like GATT and NAFTA and organizations like the World Trade Organization
have been responsible for devastating the manufacturing and producing capabilities
of America.
We now employ logai-imprisoned Chinese slaves abroad, pennies on the dollar,
to make most of our basic needs, while in turn giving them the cash to build up
their military forces
to be yet another future made adversary.
It's time we took care of the home team first.
And, that's where the LS comes into the picture.
It's how we, as a people on a county level size, create 99% more of our daily basic needs.
We will have good jobs to go to, have a cleaner environment to live in and play,
a more stable and loving community,
and a stronger infrastructure both as a state, and as a nation.
What we need first is the ability to create our own natural resources,
which we will use to make all the other products our lives need.
Yes, I said most, if not All of our needs.
Why a county first off ??
In terms of dynamics, logistics, and resources; a state is too big and a township too small.
The people living in the county should be able to walk, run or ride to work,
school, and/or the store easily.
The other key factor needed for the LS is FARMLAND.
Farmland to grow the basic natural resource, HEMP.
Which will provide an abundant source of raw materials.
Yes... I said it...HEMP.
HEMP is the one plant on the earth that can be the basis for most of what
we need and use.
From food, to fuel, to fiber, and everything else imaginable....
i.e. paper, plastic, building materials, etc...
HEMP is a carbohydrate-based natural resource 'We The People' can grow.
It competes against every one of the dead hydrocarbon-based monopolies,
now in control and killing this world...
i.e. oil, fuel, chemicals, pharmaceutical drugs, unnatural fibers like nylon,
polyester, kevlar, etc.
HEMP was outlawed early in the 20th century, so the young but growing industries of the
global-military-medical-petrochemical-pharmaceutical cartel could come to fruition.
Cartels DO NOT like competition.
A HEMP based economy would be a HUGE threat to their existence.
Having no legal ability to grow and sell this important crop,
the family farm has been denied tremendous amounts of funds that this
cash crop could have provided over the years.
It would have made the farmers enough money, so that many of the family farms
would not
have had to go into bankruptcy...
These legal and UnConstitutional laws have severely limited 'We The Peoples'
ability to compete against these monopolies.
It all comes down to money and WHO gets to make it.
The 'War on Drugs' has been used as a War on Your Rights.
HEMP was the intended casualty in this monopoly war of HydroCarbon vs' Carbohydrate.
The insanity will continue as long as we allow these parasitic corporations
to make our laws.
Anyone who disagrees with this current policy and acts on his[her] Rights
as a Free American is deemed a criminal and locked up.
Our incarceration keeps drug prices artificially high,
and we have no access to this planet saving plant.
America grew strong early on in our history, because at one time,
we had these thriving family-owned farming communities.
Not like today with the big Agricorp businesses and their partners in crime...the bankers,
have been swallowing up the farmland.
Creating a need for cheap illegal immigrant workers,
and creating large swine/poultry farms
that pollute the local environment
with their waste stream.
Farming as it was never meant to be.
Independent farms from small to large, that once dotted the American landscape,
have been put out of business.
This is a sad, but growing trend...legalizing HEMP can change this dynamic overnight.
Farms grow the natural resources that enable a local community
the ability to make most if not ALL of their communities needs and wants.
Technology has vastly improved and increased the potential of what a farm
can grow and make.
Just one "God made for man" natural resource, HEMP,
can free man of his corporation-induced slavery.
HEMP has 10s of thousands of uses and products that can be made of it.
Most know its use for rope and cloth for sails, but how about canvas for
jeans that don't wear out, HEMP that can clothe us to any level of comfort
we are accustomed to, from soft to coarse material, and paper that lasts forever,
like [the paper] our original Constitution was written on.
Remember this life/planet saving expression...
"Whatever you can make out of a hydrocarbon (oil),
you can make out of a carbohydrate (HEMP)".
It's basic Organic Chemistry.
HEMP was put on this earth by God for man's use.
It IS a huge cash crop for farmers.
Hemp planted, replenishes the ground around it with much needed nutrients.
It replaces the need to deforest for the sake of making paper.
4 times the amount of HEMP paper can be grown in the same space and time
required to grow trees slated for paper products.
Leave the forests for the lumber jacks and lumber mills that are being closed down
all over America.
HEMP can be turned into both a bio-gas and diesel fuel.
If grown on only 6% of the arable land, we could free ourselves from OPEC,
and the rest of the global oil barons. NO MORE WARS FOR OIL....
Hey, we can dream, can't we...
HEMP to fuel is the most beautiful recycling program we could ever have.
Whatever CO2 is needed for the plant to grow, will be burnt off by the car's emission,
only to be used again by the next generation of plants.
God put all seed bearing plants on this earth for Our USE. GEN 1:29
HEMP is Gods blessing to humanity to free itself of the self-imposed slavery.
Some day soon, each county will grow itself free of the Monopolistic-Greedy Distribution
systems we have become so overly dependent on.
The sooner we come to this realization, the sooner the BEAST Matrix will dissolve away.
90% of the fear is all hype anyway.
Heaven to me is when we are no longer fear driven,
because we have prepared and provided for our needs.
The extra we produce, we trade and barter with our neighbors,
other countries, states and nations.
As each county grows strong, then the state itself will be strong and so will our nation.
What we have now is a bankrupt local government, as well as a bankrupt state,
and federal government. Disaster waiting to happen in triplicate.
When a crisis hits, the whole state/nation suffers and goes down,
instead of only the effected region.
While a HEMP based society plays the key role in the LS,
other ideas focused on helping the local community must emerge.
One of these is creating local County Credit Unions.
Credit Unions are more attentive to their member needs than today's banks in every way.
The money will stay in the county where it was created.
Today, all banks take out much of the liquidity from the local money supply.
The County Credit Union will provide low, low, low interest rate loans to the people
already living in he community as well as new people moving into the county.
If you want to start a business in the county,
the local CCU will be there to help out with that as well.
Other ideas that will help commerce...
Tariffs and Excise taxes will be the norm between states and other nations.
It helps to equalize the labor costs of each area.
Free trade is a lie that only benefits the global parasites that push for these treaties.
How many Union friends have lost their good paying jobs
because of NAFTA/GATT/WTO ?
Taxes will be generated by commerce only.
A flat rate of 10% sales tax will be mandated across the board for every state.
Of the 10 cents of every dollar...6 cents will stay in the county,
3 cents will go to the state, and only 1 cent will go to the federal government.
No more property taxes will be needed.
All property owners will be granted alloidal titles to the dirt they own.
Schools, Cities, and Counties will have enough monies generated and kept
from the sales tax
to cover all their operating expenses.
What that does is keep 90% of tax monies collected for the states,
in which the money was generated in.
It will force the feds to become fiscally responsible with the money we send them.
A reduction in tax monies will force the feds to only provide for programs and agencies
that are Constitutionally mandated.
It will end the funding of all of the little Socialist bureaucracies
that have been created to keep control over us.
like the FBI, CIA, DIA, NSA, ATF, HUD, FDA, FCC, DEA, NRO, TIA, TSA, NTSB, etc...
We also need to free all the non-violent drug users from jail.
Immediately.
It will save us Billions of dollars overnight.
No Constitutional amendment was ever passed to deny us of Our Right
to medicate ourselves as WE choose.
The so-called drug users are taking up expensive jail space
that should be reserved for Real Rights Violators like rapists, murderers,
and thieves which come in all races and collars.
As mentioned before, The Drug War is a Rights War.
Period.
The illicit profits fund alphabet government agencies' black budgets
that are used to further erode Our Rights.
Legalize today, and be a freer American, tonight.
In the LS community, a local health co-op should be given space to operate
where folks can come to learn about nutrition.
Our ignorance in this area leads to many unnecessary degenerative diseases in our lives.
We can do preventative health maintenance by learning a little about the nutrients,
minerals, vitamins, and enzymes our body needs and how they all work together.
A healthy nation is a strong nation.
A little learning goes a long way.
Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, and other Homeopathic Practitioners should be
encouraged. Nothing beats the stress out of your life than a good full body massage.
Remember, Stress is a killer.
And if we, as a society, truly want to help those addicted to drugs like cigarettes,
alcohol, heroin, cocaine, meth, and prescription drugs,
then we should push for treatment at these health co-op centers
for the use of lbogaine to break cyclical addiction.
Go to http://www.cures-not-wars.org/ for the latest information
on this life altering treatment for those highly addicted.
Sorry, at this time we can't help out the sports junkies or nintendo heads
with this medicine...
In the LS, we will emphasize the local pizza shop or similar business over
the national chain.
The national franchise will have to pay what amounts to a local tariff of 5-15%
goods sold to have
the permission to sell its wares in the county.
Isn't everyone so sick of seeing the same franchise crap everywhere.
I like it when people personalize their business in their own special way.
No 2 pizza shops have the same tasting sauce, bread, cheese, or even look the same...
Now that's cool.
Always emphasize the local over the national, national over the international.
These suggestions are by no means the answers to our problems,
but a little step in a better direction.
Independence. Individuality is the CORE of what makes up an American,
or at least that's how we started...
I look forward to the day it is that way again.
Reliance on Government creates DEPENDENCY.
We want to use our web-site and our forum boards as a place where like-minded,
freedom loving people can come together to provide each other
with helpful tips on how we can easily improve our lives.
A place where we can educate one another on what is really going on in the world,
and to help each other out in realizing each of our dreams.
The LS will continue to expand daily and yearly.
Let it be a blue print for love.
The LS is to be a seedling in the way humanity can live in a more
peaceful and loving environment in which to raise our families,
and come together to worship Father with the Love He so craves from us.
He gave us freedom, so we could all grow up to be the unique freaks we are meant to be.
Each of us with our own unique experiences of love.
I tell my friends and family that Father jacks into my vein of Love every morning
because he likes the salty flavor of my LOVE for Him.
That is why we are here. For His pleasure.
Thank Yah everyday for the breathe of life you have,
that you are conscious of your existence,
and that He chose You, your Soul, and your Spirit to exist,
so He could savor your unique flavor of LOVE for him.
It's really that simple.
Peace and Love for everyone that reads this, and passes it on.
