Truckers’ Capital Beltway protest isn’t a hoax, organizers say
The Washington Post ^ | October 10, 2013 | Lori Aratani,

Posted on 10/10/2013 4:17:57 PM PDT by yoe

So it wasn’t a hoax after all?

Organizers of the “Truckers Ride for the Constitution” rally say they are indeed coming to Washington on Friday — but whether they will shut down the Beltway or just make a lot of noise remains to be seen.

[snip]The protest group’s agenda has evolved since the story began making the rounds of news outlets across the country early this week with a story in U.S. News & World Report, which said the truckers wanted members of Congress to be arrested, while others called for the ouster of President Obama.

Andrews said the group still wants to get rid of Obama, but will do so by legal means. She said independent truckers also are upset about new regulations, including on idling and hours of service, that threaten to put them out of business.

Yes, thank you very much; that photo went poof on their Facebook Page. I was hoping this was something, but maybe it’s just a lot of air... strange their website went down as well.

SunkenCiv, just FYI, that link goes to a blogger’s “satire” piece on Red State.

The RedState page is satire. I don’t like satire; too hard to tell satire from reality in this crazy, upside-down country.

Demands Will Be Delivered To Congress At WW2 Memorial – Ride For The Constitution

Thursday October 10, 2013 —- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DEMANDS WILL BE DELIVERED TO CONGRESS AT WW2 MEMORIAL

Our Constitutional demands are simple: We want our legislators to follow the law.

Independent truckers are leading this convoy to deliver their Trucker demands in their left hand, but must importantly, the U.S. Constitution and non-negotiable demands in their right hand. Here’s a few examples of what all Americans can get behind:

1) The U.S.A. shall not support al-Qaeda. Legislators such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham, et. al have already betrayed the American people in this regard, and must immediately resign.

2) The Debt-Ceiling shall not be raised. Period.

3) NSA Surveillance and archiving of the entire world’s communications must cease & desist.

4) The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 must be nullified, and the public must be made aware of the implications of repealing the Smith Mundt Act. (allows Pentagon to spend billions on fake news stories for propaganda within the USA)

5) The I.R.S. must cease and desist their terror campaign upon political opponents on behalf of the Obama administration.

6) Benghazi, Seal Team 6, Fast & Furious, Syria Chemical Weapons attack and Boston marathon bombing must be investigated and publicly exposed.

7) Barack Obama must leave office voluntarily and immediately.

8) 9-11 forensic investigation filed in Dr. Judy Wood’s Qi Tam Case in the federal court system must be addressed and publicly disclosed.

9) CIA Whistleblowers with knowledge that Osama Bin Laden was dead well before Obama claimed must be granted immunity for their whistle blowing testimony. (Osama Bin Laden was on the US payroll in 1999, and the CIA delivered a dialysis machine to his death bed. We have audio testimony from a confidential whistleblower who will testify to these facts.

10)All legislators and government officials who have sworn an oath to defend and support the U.S. Constitution must do so. Those who violate their oath shall be prosecuted immediately. All legislators who signed the NDAA 2012 must vacate their office immediately

My Dad was a truck driver all his life (which ended 27 years ago) and that’ll always stick with me but I’m the hardcore biker who will still go...

Be careful who you associate with Folks. A lot of Nuts out there. Among them Alex Jones, Pete Santilli, Jack Blood, Michael Rivero, Jeff Rense and the rest. There are others. They are conspiracy guys and alternative nuts. Just be careful as they are trying to take advantage of the good folks in America. I know why the sites went down tonight. They got overloaded with people. Just be wise to the fact a truther and a disinformation agent named Pete Santilli is behind all this. It was his site the Riders for the Constitution site.

Also pizza blogger was Pete’s primary account. He called up on his show Blue Host and used that handle. These folk are very controversial.

I should also add Adam Kokesh to the list as well as Jesse Ventura, Vinny Eastwood and anybody associated with the late Bill Cooper.

Dr. Judy Wood is a truther who Pete trusts and uses for information. he uses her to debunk other truthers like Jim Fetzer and Jesse Ventura. Pete has a feud with Alex Jones.
