Personally I think their latest comments about the Constitution GARDENS are a ploy to get our guys to stand down and not attend!!!

For one thing, and I've never been there, if the Constitution Gardens are actual gardens, then there is no way they would be able to assemble 100,000 in the garden's paths between the flowers and Bushes without causing major damage to the Gardens. Instead look at the satellite map below and you will see that the only place that is ideal for their purposes is Area 5 the large grassy field just east of the wall.

We are being fed a lie, to defuse our involvement and counter protest. But what else could we expect from a bunch of serious communists. Perhaps a small but of Irony here is that President Nixon Ordered the Creation of the Constitution Gardens in the first place.

The area "A" is where they will be.

The barrier fence will be approx. under the letter "N" in the word Constitution Ave. in the picture above.

That would be in keeping with the 300 yd. setback referred to by the park police.

No matter their plans, ours will be to protect and defend what these little weasles will try to destroy ;) They can't beat us if we stand together!

You make some good points. One can only fill a given area with so many people. Crowd estimates for one thing always to seem disproportionate to what in reality show up.
