See my #36 on this thread:

HUGE FUND FOR COMMIES

[Howlin]

piasa, I think that is a great idea. I will work on it over the weekend.

We can have a thread on each one, or each plane, what do you think? We could post the proper photos and information to each thread. I REALLY want to keep up with what is going on here.

Of course, Atta probably deserves his OWN thread!

Hugh, how can we organize this, any ideas? And could we index them like we did "CONDIDIT"???? We may need a separate thread for their finances!

[Hugh Akston]

Lion's Cub started a thread. I suggest we just lump it all in there to begin with. If the thread starts getting a lot of information in it, then we will be able to look at it and likely figure out how to best organize what we have at that point.

[Howlin]

Very good. I was just fascinated with their pictures. Some of them look so "normal," don't they? And so dang young. It just cannot be that THOSE people are the masterminds. I'll look for Lion's thread.

[GEC]

I know that most of you can't make it on such short notice (I'm just down the street from it), but I wanted to let you know that I will be FReeping the Commies at the Cathedral in the Land of Oaks at 1:30pm today.

I purchased a bullhorn.

I am FReeper, hear me roar.

I'll post later tonight with a full report...unless of course I get lucky with the wife tonight.

[mountaineer]

Well, er, uh, I'd kind of like a report, but you do what's best.

[Dukie]

Hey GEC ! I'd have joined you had I known earlier. Anxiously awaiting your report

BUMP

"We are assembling International A.N.S.W.E.R. to call for worldwide rallies against war and racism. On September 29, there will be a national march and rally at the White House in Washington DC, as well as marches on the West Coast of the U.S. and around the world. We call on all people of conscience and progressive organizations to take up this call and organize rallies around the world.

Unless we stop President Bush and NATO from carrying out a new, wider war in the Middle East, the number of innocent victims will grow from the thousands to the tens of thousands and possibly more. A new, wider U.S. and NATO war in the Middle East can only lead to an escalating cycle of violence. War is not the answer."

Minus IMF, Protesters Give Peace A Chance
By Manny Fernandez and Petula Dvorak
Washington Post Staff Writers
Friday, September 28, 2001

Article Source

"Violence breeds violence," said Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, of the Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit and part of a coalition planning a march tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, the first march -- organized by the Anti-Capitalist Convergence, a network of anarchists and anti-capitalists based in D.C. -- is to begin at 9 a.m. at a park near Union Station. The group plans to march through downtown, ending at the World Bank and IMF headquarters.

[piasa]

I did a basic search on the "Anti-Capitalist Convergence" and came up with THIS

A-CC of Montreal:

Slate Article on A-C Convergence

A-CC "Principles of Unity"

CLAC- A-CC Mobilization Materials

[Roebucks]

Thanks for the links. Here is their latest, "call to action".

[piasa]

Source (Another group formed related to the Anti-capitalist convergence:)

Another major group planning protests around the Summit is the Montreal-based AntiCapitalist Convergence (CLAC). Formed in April 2000 to offer a radical, anti-capitalist critique of corporate globalization, CLAC recently spawned the Quebec City-based Summit of the Americas Welcoming Committee (CASA). Like CLAC, CASA espouses the principles of anti-capitalism, anti-patriarchy, anti-hierarchy, anti-reformism, autonomy, and respect for a diversity of tactics. According to CLAC, "It is possible to radically and creatively oppose capitalism, while at the same time maintaining the spirit of openness that is necessary to develop a diverse and pluralistic resistance movement."

[Roebucks]

In post 49, you'll notice that just under Ramsey Clark's sig is one from Bishop Thomas Gumbleton.

Quite active in gay rights and the anti-Iraq sanction arena is he

here' s a link to some of his stuff. He was also quoted in the Wash Post article sources in post 50 and will be in DC this weekend with his/her commie friends.

[piasa]

Look what else is going on on Sept 29, 2001

[Roebucks]

Bunch of fruits n nutz. Sounds like NY, with the UN though. I'm concerned about the violence in DC tomorrow. I think it could turn real ugly. Hope I'm wrong.

Imagine Whorled ApPEASement... kool-aid drinkers anonymous meeting tomorrow:

IMPORTANT LOGISTICAL INFO For September 29 rally and march against war & racism

As of September 28, 2001

GATHER 12 NOON at FREEDOM PLAZA (14th St. and Pennsylvania NW)

Buses and vans from many areas will be arriving early

WELCOME CENTER:

For those arriving on Friday, the IAC will have a "Welcome Center" open from 4 pm to 9 pm. This is at 1615 Columbia Road NW (at 16th St.). Take the green line to Columbia Heights or the 16th St. bus to Columbia Road.

BUSES AND VANS/CARS:

Below is important information for buses:

Bus drop off is at Pennsylvania Ave. between 13th and 14th St. NW. This is the south side of Freedom Plaza.

Bus parking: There is a lot that is used for bus parking just over the Anacostia Bridge. Drive south on South Capitol, go over the Anacostia Bridge, and take the first right. Once this lot fills up, buses should go to the Union Station parking lot. There are spaces reserved; buses should say they are with the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition.

Your bus (not A.N.S.W.E.R.) is responsible to pay a $50 parking fee.

Vans and cars can drop off at Freedom Plaza, or simply find parking in the area (there are many private lots, and there may be street parking).

Bus pick up is at Louisiana between North Capitol and 1st St NW. This is around the corner and a few blocks away from the ending rally site at Upper Senate Park (which is the north side of the Capitol). Buses cannot park here; they can stand in the right lane of traffic, but only for the loading period. This information should be given by the bus captain to each bus rider (if possible, give out maps).

BUS GREETERS:

Each bus will be met by an International A.N.S.W.E.R. bus greeter who will let everyone know what to expect for the day. Please convey as much information as possible to all bus riders ahead of time, and expect this update from an A.N.S.W.E.R. volunteer when you pull in.

VOLUNTEERS:

To make this event a success, hundreds of volunteers are needed to help out in many areas! When you arrive at Freedom Plaza, you will see a purple banner that says "Volunteers Here." Just go up to the organizers at this table and they will plug you into the activity. Help is needed for security/monitors (see below), handing out literature and placards, getting out t-shirts, water and more.

SECURITY / MONITORS:

Our top priority is security. We will have a strong Arab and Muslim presence at the rally and march and we want all of our Arab and Muslim sisters and brothers to feel comfortable and safe. We are organizing security teams to secure our space in case there are counter demonstrators. Please encourage people on your bus to help out in this area. If you can help out, you will be directed to a security orientation meeting from the volunteers table.

MEDICAL:

There will be a medical tent and medical workers in the crowd to provide any needed assistance. There will be food and water available, but you are encouraged to bring your own. The march will be about one mile (there will be a disabled vehicle for those who cannot march), so come prepared with walking shoes.

WEATHER:

There is a 0% chance of rain forecasted for Saturday!

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR NEED MORE INFO CALL: 202-543-2777. This number will be staffed during the protest.

People who belong to things with names like "Pasamontanas" (Skimasks) really shouldn't be allowed out in public.
