Operation Infinite Freep: Know your Enemy

Could be, but "squashed like bugs," etc., isn't very descriptive of that.

I had much more to say than that infact my original writing was toned down. I guess it must be my Marine Corps training from 30+ years ago. "The U.S. Marines, if it positively has to be destroyed overnight" 8-)

When I was writing that my thoughts were of a new freep's screen name 'types_with_fists'. I don't want to 'smash' them literally, well maybe I do, but I will restrain myself. I do want them to scurry like cockroaches exposed to the light.

I've done a little investigation myself into the Fresno Center for Non Violence. Here's a list of their affliated organizations.

WHO CALLS THE CENTER 'HOME'?

ACLU

Central California Institute

Community Link:

Gay/Straight Alliance

Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender

Your Group

Death Penalty Focus

Fresno County Greens

Community Alliance

NOW

The Sunday Spiritual Circle

Women's International League for Peace and Freedom

WHO ELSE DO WE SUPPORT?

Action Alerts! Network

Cross cultural groups

Emerging groups working for peace and justice

Food Not Bombs

Pastors for Peace

The Living Room (Aids support group)

Justice for Children Committee

"Lighthouse" Aids Group

Wheelchair Project

Quite a wide variety of organizations, some of them quite conspicuous for their leftest, Marxest leaning, such as the ACLU. The group got it's start protesting the Gulf War, and has branched out supporting a variety of causes.

The unifying theme of all my conversations I've had with the peace protestors is Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory 101. The president knew of the attacks, allowed them to happen, so he could have a war to profit from, politicly and financialy. The above info was cut and pasted from the website linked in the post. Go there yourself and you will learn a great deal of who we are dealing with.

[gracie1]

I want to know who funds these folks especially if it concerns NDO (Non Domestic Organizations) that have no business interfering with our sovereignty. In my mind it is no different than accepting political contributions from Red China.

Yeah, follow the money!

It's also important to let others know of their affiliate organizations. If you contribute to a seemingly innoculous charity, you could be contributing to these leftist organizations.

Thanks Gracie,

That is exactly the purpose of this thread; to have a place for reference for this information.

fivetoes,

Now we know who we are dealing with. Now I have to go buy more poster board.

These people are much more dangerous than the Million Mom March. I am going to have to start leaning on friends to join us. Time to get up, get out, and show them up.

I know that our rally is to SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. That is what our corner is. I suggest that there are two more unused corners at College and Mulberry, and from there we can start a protest against the SUBVERSIVE AGITATORS.

I will stand across from them and expose them for what they are. I know there are others in Fort Collins that will do the same for I stood shoulder to shoulder with them before.

I have to go calm down now, Saturday will come soon enough.

[Trteamer]

I'm BACK,


NASHVILLE TENNESSEE, The War Resisters League has a job opening for a "Resident Intern Organizer".

I just got this off their website. It pays room and board and $50/week.

ANY FREEPERS IN NASHVILLE? The enemy is organizing, how about you?

POSTER BOARD IS CHEAP.

I suggest that there are two more unused corners at College and Mulberry,

Actually there are three unused corners until NOON! 8-)

I have been answering a boatload of freep mail around this topic. It seems there is a lot of frustration on the part of many freeps in Florida and Missouri especially. They are have a hard time getting support for rallies to support our troops. Many have asked me for suggestions as to how to get support for their rallies. I have offered suggestions, but all have been tried before with little or no success.

We need to make Operation Infinite Freep easy to organize and get support for. It seems like we are constantly reinventing the wheel. We need to pool the vast resources of Free Republic together and simplify the process. Here are a few things that I think we have to come up with.

• Ideas for signs that get to the point.
• Talking points for those of us who are vocal.
• Schedule of events. This is not difficult. They post their events on their websites, linked above.
• Sample letters to the editor.
• Letters addressed to VFW posts and other veteran organizations.

  We cannot afford to wait until sympathetic, or is that pathetic, legislators back their cause with legislation that weakens our defenses.

[Leisler]

I, and my friends, do the same thing. Opposition research. After ten or more years we have file cabinets of the usual suspects. Names, addressses, letters to the editors, etc.
It is always a small group, but they belong to many fronts, "Volvo/Subaru Drivers For Animal Justice And Fighting Against Bible Gunowning Capitalist Exploiters OF the Third World Whales.....bla,bla,bla"

The are usually employed by government, have a trust fund from mean old dad, or on some type of "disability"

[fivetoes]

It is always a small group,...

A war resistor franchise, or better yet an MLM gang. We need to find the common denominator. My guess is that if most regular folks that stand in the streets with these people knew who was backing them their numbers would decline in rapid order.

[Trteamer]

Everyone start by printing the info from the SUBVERSIVE AGITATORS website (in the lead post). Take copies to your local VFW,American Legion, FReepers, etc. and expose them.
People that are on the fence may jump on board once they realize who is behind these useful idiots.

[fivetoes]

Bump for a good idea.

[ladyinred]

Just blew me away reading this. I have been curious about just who it is we are up against every Friday night across the street. Thanks so much for this! It is every weirdo and socialist org in Fresno County!

[ladyinred]

I can tell you that the group we are dealing with in Fresno are obviously tied to the ones in Ft. Collins, and I suppose all over the nation.
Silence them? Of course not, however, they are dangerous to our freedom, and if I have to chose between their right to speak and my freedom then......!

Certainly they have the right to protest, but they are also lying while they are at it. I would respect them more if they told the truth! I also resent that my tax dollars are paying for them. They are not just a simple group of people who accidently got together to stand on the corner, they are organized and well financed by our money!

[ladyinred]

Gracie, just found all of this!
Nice group of people across the street from Freeper island huh? I am going to start tomorrow on finding out just who these groups are and who funds them. They are obviously funded by tax dollars and who knows what else!

[fivetoes]

A little more digging finds that he antis in Ft. Collins, CO. are actually a small group calling themselves the Center for Justice. Peace & Environment (CJPE). It seems that they are nothing more than a small band of folks under the umbrella of the Poudre Valley Green Party. Now why doesn't this surprise me.

They are linked to from many more organized groups which makes them seem much bigger than they are.

[RMrattlesnake]

here is an other group. That is out of Denver thay my be involved as well.

I would like to maintain a list of links for Operation Infinite Freep. The list will include both good guys and gals (US) and them. I would like for our side to be folks actively involved in Operation Infinite Freep. As it stands now, aside from VFW post 1781 in Ft. Collins and some VCR folks, it is all FreeRepublic people. If I am mistaken please let me know and I will update the list. There are many more links to them, but that never stopped Chesty Puller.

Here is the link. protestwebsites. You can bookmark it so that you have only the links.
