This July 4th is Flag Burning Day!
Every summer good Americans don their best red white and blue, and gorge themselves on beer and hotdogs to celebrate our independence from England, but from its very beginnings this country has been built on illegitimacies. This July 4th is Flag Burning Day!
Every summer good Americans don their best red white and blue, and gorge themselves on beer and hotdogs to celebrate our independence from England, but from its very beginnings this country has been built on illegitimacies. The Indians helped the first few pilgrims to survive on thanksgiving and in return the colonialist settlers massacred the natives, stole their land and declared themselves sovereign. The “Fore Fathers” were the colonial American elite; they were among the richest men in the new country. The British King restricted them from taking some Indian land, so they revolted promising many of the soldiers large parcels of land in payment for fighting. Perhaps the slave holding founders had noble intentions when they constructed a system of governance that limited its own power, but even before its independence the state was just the strong-arm of big business. And since then the government has only grown more and more coercive in its aim of imposing American corporate interests everywhere it can around the world, so when the leaders talk about how “Independence Day” is all about freedom and democracy it reeks of hypocrisy. July 4th has only ever symbolized the independence of the New World royalty. So on this Fourth of July we call on you to express your feelings on their “Independence Day” by burning a flag in a nationally coordinated action. Together we will show the elite that we are everywhere and that we completely reject the false principals this holiday is based on.
Please spread this message far and wide. Stay tuned to the regular channels for more information. To endorse this call, help organize or just speak your mind, check out the listserv:
Our 50 percent of sick America, is on the roll.
Wouldn't you knock the flag burner down and use them to roll on the fire and thereby put it out? (sounded like a good idea to me..LOL)
I have mailed the below to Kristinn, didn't know where else to send it, hope they can put on a Freeper protest for it.

PURPOSE
Whenever citizens working on Iraq lies, 9/11, troop abuse, stolen
elections and/or the 'missing' government trillions gather and
compare notes, potent insights emerge into the corporate coup
d'état we face. This DC Convergence presumes that we now have
enough dangerous truths, damning facts, and populist media to
deliver the evidence of treachery nationwide. It's now time to
forge a strategy, join with veterans & victim families, and assist
media activists in spreading the truth throughout the land.
Everything We Need to SUCCEED - We Now Have
. The facts and evidence from truth movement researchers
. Enduring inspiration from courageous whistleblowers and victim
families
. The support of respected leaders across the political spectrum
. A nationwide communications network in independent media
. A country gradually waking up to the desperate need for truth
All That's Missing is A SHARED STRATEGY
- Come to DC and Help Create it . . .
