How about all the disruptions “OCCUPY” caused?

These truckers at least have a message. It is just the beginning of the 3 day protest.

Article on Drudge right now says the Truck Convoy “fizzled”... only a “few dozen showed up”? Hope that’s not true...?

it was crappy day, lots of rain, heavy at times and lighter than normal traffic because of the “shut-down”, school being in and the holiday coming up. It will be busier later today. I was on the beltway around 11am and it seemed “normal”.

It’s safe to say it fizzled, at least from what I can see.

I understand. It puts both you and he in a vice. The same kind of death-by-regulation is happening to farmers, and I imagine every other industry that contributes something real to the economy. Obama is truly the make-it-hurt “President”. And the NSA, IRS, DOJ, etc have all been able to show the public that they are lawless thugs AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT EVEN WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. They don’t even have to hide what they are up to. In fact, what they are up to is intended to be visible (so everybody knows the threat is real and they better “keep in line”) and yet beyond the reach of anybody who is willing to do anything about it. It’s like smirkingly holding a mouse by its tail and watching it thrash about, trying to get free. We’re worm-toys to these thugs, and they enjoy rubbing our noses in the dirt.

Personal example. Right before the thugs threatened the guy in KS who was objecting to Obama’s placement on the ballot, the chair of the KS Dem Party made comments to the press that she knew were false. I commented on my blog that I have the receipt for the certified letter that Joan Wagnon received from Larry Klayman which made it clear that if she submitted a known-perjurious DNC Official Certification of Nomination to get Obama placed on the ballot she would commit election fraud. I said on my blog that she should be careful what she says because I have in my possession proof that she was notified and knows that what she is saying is false.

Somebody was angered by that and tried to comment on my blog, saying that he/she helped create Obama’s forged BC and resistance is futile because Obama is immune from prosecution and so are they, since the FBI knows they did it and will cover for them. Whoever it was went to the trouble of using gates to hide where they were at, and when a hacker working with me got close to finding out the truth he hit a tripwire that had been set up to fry the computer of anybody who got too close to the truth. It did fry his computer, to the extent that he was unwilling to press farther, believing that these people would kill him. And this was no inexperienced noob; he had dealt with extremely dangerous situations before. I typed up an affidavit for law enforcement, using Word. I C&P’ed the WordPress notification of that attempted post on my blog into that affidavit. I told nobody that I was working on this; should have just been private on my computer. Within about a week of C&P-ing that information into the affidavit I went and proofread what I had, and the link to the person’s online identity was replaced with a statement that the identity no longer existed. As soon as I typed up information for law enforcement, the person who had that identity (or somebody acting on his/her behalf) deleted their online identity, and it was not just a Wordpress identity; it was facebook and a bunch of other places also, using that email address. Needless to say, I was not surprised at all when Snowden revealed that they can look at what’s on our computers, because it sure seems like it happened to me.

They’re mocking us. They’re threatening us in full view of everybody and then mocking us as if our resistance is futile.

A nation only tolerates that so long, and then some “little” thing busts everything wide open. The truckers are doing what they can during the “legal” phase - before the bullets start flying. I’m not sure how an 18-wheeler would match up against the tanks the government has been amassing for its homeland use, but if these thugs try to take on the heartland when everybody’s eyes are wide open they better at least expect to get kicked in the nuts before they’re able to kill us all off. They may kill me but they will not be mocking me when it happens; they will be doubled over with pain and kill me in ANGER, not amusement.

In stead of being a critic why don’t you with your great wisdom got down there to Washington and help them out with your great planning and wonderful intellect, I am sure you can lead them onto a worthy cause.

" This is pointless."

Yeah, I guess your right, so to it was 2/3s of those who weren't involved in the American Revolution.
They also thought " this is pointless and we can't win ".

Yes indeed, only 1/3 of America's population were involved in the American Revolution.......

Now, wait ? WE actually won against the British.

I don’t need to go near the beltway so I couldn’t say other than what I heard on FoxNews. Nothing to report.

You sure have a lot of good and interesting information.

And yes, they sure do want people to know just how bad and evil they can be, and that their threats are for real.

Just browsing thru Nachumlist.com ‘s dead pool-file for zero is positively scary.
