Anti-authoritarian bloc on the 17th? Author: A Date Created: 06 Mar 2007

About the demo on March 17th:

People who are planning a black bloc, youth bloc, SDS bloc or something like that should announce it so more than 10 people can join in and make it worthwhile.

New details have surfaced regarding the incident where protesters were allowed to scrawl graffiti on the lower west terrace of the Capitol building.

According to a Democratic leadership aide, 50 to 60 protesters, rather than the 300 figure that was reported by The Hill over the weekend, were involved in the act of vandalism, which took place after the main peace march took place. The aide said a large tour group was leaving the Capitol simultaneously as the protesters approached the Capitol. The staffer also said that contrary to initial accounts, the Capitol was not shut down in the wake of the protesters approaching the building.

While the Democratic aide said that the graffiti was mainly made with chalk and spray paint, other sources detailed the use of permanent markers as well as spray paint.

A police source indicated police took photographs and video after the incident occurred. The photos were not made available to the press. According to sources, police were ordered by Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols to break their security line and fall back from 3rd Street S.W. to the Capitol steps.

Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.

According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse andDeputy Chief Daniel Nichols. “They were the commanders on the scene,” one source said, who requested anonymity. “It was disgusting.”

Al Qaeda Relying on ‘Peace’ Movements

By Center for Security Policy
CenterForSecurityPolicy.org | April 20, 2004

Borrowing a page from North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap, Osama bin Laden is making the US and European “peace” movement an instrument of his strategy.

The al Qaeda leader’s most recent tape, aired on Al Jazeera April 15, “appeared to mark a new strategy of trying to manipulate antiwar sentiment in Europe to bring pressure on governments that support the United States,” according to the Washington Post.

Spanish voters’ election of an anti-American socialist in the days following the March train bombings in Madrid encouraged al Qaeda. In his tape, the Post reports, “Bin Laden refers to demonstrations in Europe as ‘positive interaction’ and mentions ‘opinion polls, which indicate that most European peoples want peace.’”

Bin Laden is openly trying to exploit politicial divisions in Europe and the US in the way that General Giap counted on the American “peace” movement to weaken the American people’s resolve even though they were winning the war. Former North Vietnamese General Staff officer Bui Tin once said that the “peace” movement was “essential to our strategy.”

The open support of Hanoi by Jane Fonda, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark (now head of International ANSWER, which coordinates the largest protests) and others “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses,” Bui Tin said. “Through dissent and protest,” the US “lost the ability to mobilize a will to win.”

Bill Clinton stained that now? And I thought the White House sink was bad.

I didn’t know metaphors could rally, let alone riot.

” We must indeed stake out and defend those few remaining DMZs upon America’s charred political landscape, where countrymen all can unite around shared ideals, shared history, shared sacrifice. “

First, Mr.Kerns has no understanding of what a “DMZ”
really is since he speaks of it as a townhall meeting or a village green, that is certainly not any DMZ I ever saw.
Second, if it is such shared space, why would he want to stake it out and “defend” it, and from whom?

Baaaah, liberals, it would almost be worth it to watch the
jihadists exterminate them.
