Once again the LA police department has been unleased by the Democratic Party Establishment to brutalize non-violent anti-corporate Movement protesters in Los Angeles. So yet another example of why our collective state of political powerlessness in the United States will never end unless we collectively work towards making a Revolution in the United States as quickly as possible. The corporate-sponsored LA Times even admitted toeday that the Democratic Party Establishment authorized LA police department infiltrators to illegally and unconstituionally pose as demonstrators and act as agent-provocateurs and spies at the various non-vilent anti-corporate demonstrations during Democratic National Convention week.

To respond to the U.S. corporate police state and its rigged electoral process, people are in the United States are welcome to come to Boston on October 3 to protest the rigged presidential debate and the rigged U.S. election. Since school will be in session in September, U.S. campuses can be used as organizing centers and it's possible that if non-corporate-sponsored Independent Revolutionary Media Centers are utilized as mobilizing instrumentsby anti-censorship media activists, the numbers attending the Boston October 3 protests will be greater than the number of people who were mobilized for the summer RNC and DNC protests.

Are there any plans for Bosten folks to also

go to Winston Salem NC, Oct,11 for the debates there?

hi freedom fighters,

we need to find a friend that is an image consultant that can help us change our image in the national media. yeah, tough job i know, but if they continue to succeed in portraying us as 'radical protesters' our msg will continue to be dismissed. We ought to call in some big names to join us in our protests, arianna huffington and other shadow conv friends, etc. How can we gain respectable media coverage to get these issues seriously addressed by the nation, press and candidates? And of course, we've got to draw parallels to the LAPD's abuse of non-violent protesters and China's treatment of dissidents. I hope someone escaped LA with some photos, i understand the police did their best to confiscate and destroy all evidence that show them gleefully attacking weaponless youth.

peace

There are plenty of people in SAG (the Screen Actors Guild) who are getting pretty pissed off at advertisers (corporations) and the government for its failure to do anything about industry jobs flowing into Canada . . . this could be the best time to tap industry people for expanding progressive media presence . . . pro-movement commercials on local/cable stations, maybe calling for participation in Oct 3 protest, documentary coverage, celebrity endorsements (where are you, Warren?) . . . a lot of people in the public take the views of a Carson Daly (don't laugh) just as seriously as a Sam Donaldson (now you can laugh). If the corporations have subverted news by making it trivial and mere entertainment, maybe we turn the tables by finding "entertainers" who can be spokepersons and subvert the system right back at 'em. (Lobby Aaron Sorkin to do a protest-focused "West Wing"?)

Peace out,

Image makovers will do no good. We have plenty or big name people who dress well when they speak out against injustice, such as Chomsky, Herman, Zinn, three former high level UN Iraq food administrators who one after the other, quit in moral disgust; that former attorney general (his name slips my mind) and even Ralph Nader. Does the media give them any attention? No.

The media doesn't have a problem with the protestors appearance, it's their speaking out against the interests of power that the media doesn't like. of course, they can't state this real reason, so for the protestors, attack their appearance, and for the well dressed ones, ignore them.
