collect evidence in streets today if police riot

For today's protests, make sure to collect the spent evidence of police riot materials afterwards. Take pictures of cops without name tags. Dress as Santa. Take fake babies to the front lines...

GET OUT AND PROTEST GEORGE BUSH'S WAR ~ IN THE STREETS ~ TODAY.

Don't forget your camera. Take pictures of all police without visible nametags, especially riot police.

Take pictures of all machine guns pointing at protesters. Police tend to deny they had machine guns out later.

And if police riot, return after police riot, to the streets as soon as possible, with thick gloves and proper containers and collect the trash left from the police weaponry, the spent cartridges, the unexploded pepper spray pellets, little metal balls, rubber bullets, anything you can find...and keep them as evidence of what was used on the protesters by police. Take video footage. Everyone take phones, broken cell phones will do, and when police become violent EVERYONE whip out PHONES as if calling the press...and talk as if you are speaking to the press...keep the pressure on the police for total accountability at all times. You have a right to protest Bush's insane global destruction and we, as Americans, have the greatest duty of all, to reject this war and to protest it. DO NOT HESITATE TO PROTEST TODAY! Let your body count in numbers today. Let Bush see we are willing to get out of our lazy American routines to protest this important issue of War in OUR NAME...and do not let police get away with intimidating you to stop protesting. It is an American's right and duty. Take fake towel babies wrapped in blankets to make police think there are babies who will get pepper sprayed if they open fire, not that it will stop them, but they may hesitate for a second seeing babies in their faces, to let people escape...play media games...come dressed as Santa, or priests and nuns, or Keystone Cops, or Groucho Marx, police look bad beating these characters or at least the media will want to capture it.

IT'S SENATOR JOHN KERRY'S WAR TOO!

by Quix Sunday, Mar. 21, 2004 at 5:28 PM

SENATOR JOHN KERRY HAS SUPPORTED TERRORISM AGAINST THE IRAQI PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. HE TOO BACKED PRESIDENT BUSH'S DECISION TO ATTACK THAT COUNTRY. HE'S A WAR CRIMINAL LIKE BUSH.

If You Believe in Peace, Kerry or Capitalism-U-are-Terrorist

by Down with Indymendia Sunday, Mar. 21, 2004 at 8:35 PM

Whenever a bomb explodes anywhere, most people blame the US

… many think the bombs are made in the USA.

Environmentalists, deep ecologists and most US-EU citizens must either be my enemy or so very ignorant and twisted that I don’t know what to call them.

Bush is the catalyst, the Provoker – a dangerous berserker.

VOTE GW BUSH - for hope that the brainwashed finally learn

“We are those that defend the socialism with democracy and freedom.”

We need more war - we need civil war - and WE need to win against fascists (like most of you peace people who read this wimpy indymendia site!)

I have never met anyone or any social change movement that could explain how their tactics fit their strategy and how their strategy could ever hope to accomplish the person’s goals. Too bad because a lot of people get turned off to activism or believing in change because they feel lied to or can’t make sense of what groups are doing.



Truth is the side that wins…that never gives up… that fights for something distant that is held forever close to the heart…



For me terrorism is when the powerful use threats or structures of oppression to get what they want. And usually this is not done out of need. Usually the powerful have less terroristic ways to get what they want or what they need. Killing an animal specie is terrorism against the specie and the future. We are all guilty of that. Capitalism is terrorism against the poor, the workers, millions of species and our minds and hearts.

Everything about the US is terrorism, from its past to its present. Europe – especially Spain and the UK- (with Poland struggling to get in on the game) also have the fresh blood of terrorism on their hands and are unlikely to wash it off. The attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq were terrorism. And that brings us to lies which can also be terrorism. All colonialism is terrorism. The US mining of Nicaragua’s harbors was terrorism as the World Court ruled. When the US spends 0 billion dollars on it’s military instead of spending a fifth of this sum to feed and care for the 40-80 million who will starve or die: this is terrorism. Global warming is global terrorism and when any of us do little to stop these crimes we are terrorists too.

Terrorism is institutionalized immorality.

To fight against terrorism is never terrorism – no matter who you kill. It is self defense and resistance. Anti-terrorists are not trying to get or take something, they are trying to stop others US-EU Empire) from doing something: occupying the West Bank; maintaining military bases in Arabia, Ecuador, Puerto Rico; or driving your farmers bankrupt with unfair trade policies.

Now our – “choices” - are John Kerry ready to increase military spending and Hillary Clinton ready to re-institute the military draft!

The elite in nearly every country – that one percent or so that control most of the lands, factories and military (and its industrial complex) – they call the shots and control whoever is elected. There really can’t be democracy as long as there are rich people – as long as there is gross inequality of resources, education and incomes.
