On one chain store, another's logos cover & bury the it, displaying how these carnivores have no conscience and will devour their own\r\n\tex. On advertising, a slogan may read from their mascot's mouth says things like \"Attention Working Class, you will NOT get your break today!\" or hard cold facts to educate the masses on what's really happening\r\n\tThe benefit of this is \r\n\ti. people will become aware of the travesties by these global offenders\r\n\tii. people will no longer be tolerant of their din (think of the distrust & turnoff caused by mud-slinging politicians)\r\n\tiii. no \"dirty protester kids\" are involved to legally smear, crack with violent police brigades or ignore in the media\r\n\t\tetc..\r\n\t2) Our organizations have not crossed the racial divide. There are plenty of organizations of people of color (as well queers, womens etc) out there doing things, but we have to offer our help in their struggles as they will help us & we all rise up together.\r\n\tex. Do not say \"us whites are are here to save you\"; rather, \"we are interested in your struggles. What can we do to help?\"\r\n\tThe benefit of this is \r\n\ti. broader democracy  \r\n\tii. broader coalition\r\n\tiii. numbers, numbers, numbers\r\n\t\tetc..\r\n\r\n\t3) We can longer preach to the choir. It is time to infiltrate the SubUrban Wastelands & stink the place up with visual\/vocal dissent. Not Everyone knows how bad things are, or even those that do haven't seen our organized brotherhoods, but I say that's where the next Local\/Regional\/Global decentralized demonstrations belong & will turn the Critical Mass towards Political Awareness, Power & Democracy\r\n\tex. Massive Mall Occupations \r\n\tex. Massive Interstate\/Thruway demonstrations \r\n\t\tetc..\r\n\r\n\t4) We call our own Targets, Demonstration Locales & Times within a \"window\" that is spontaneous. This keeps Constitutionally-Breaking Cops from rounding people up just before mobilization (witness A15 & R2K Puppet Space), because NOBODY, not even non-violent protesters\r\nthemselves know when beautiful street dmonstrations, banners, dancing & music will break out. What would happen is some goon from the Police Force will inevitably club some innocent demonstrator & then boom: all the beauty of direct action will break out--hence violent cops bringing revolution by their own hand. All this represents a step forward from activists being \"Event Chasers\".\r\n\tex. Some Major City \r\n\tex. Some particular week is announced as say, \"the Non Violent World Party comes to Town\"\r\n\t\tetc..\t\r\n\r\n5)  We protect ourselves from Infiltration by having all newcomers to Affinity Group meetings for their OWN AG.\r\n\tBenefits: \r\n                i. Protects safety of working AG\u2019s\r\n                ii. Provides better flexibility of comfort levels for new activists\r\n\r\nPlease fellow activists, share our creativity; there's too much at stake to let the Ruling Class of the Capitalist Fascicts & their Protectorate Armies believe they've won.\r\n\r\n\r\nPS To all Federal\/Police Surveillance etc.:\r\n1. You are Human Rights Benedict Arnolds\r\n2. Our actions are Non-Violent\r\n3. No one has committed to anything above--these are just the ideas of free speech\r\n\r\n--JdPrez\r\n","author":"JdPrez","parent_id":1034,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2000-08-15 23:09:09","modified":"2013-11-10 23:35:40","fileurl":""},{"id":1085,"heading":"Help is on the way.","article":"Here is a web site where accessories which may be useful to the protestors and their media cronies are available.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.evidentcrimescene.com\/cata\/body\/body.html\r\n\r\nWhen I come across a web site that offers toe tags I will place the url here.  \r\n\r\nCommence rioting!","author":"The Coronor","parent_id":1034,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2000-08-15 23:18:01","modified":"2000-08-15 23:20:43","fileurl":""},{"id":1120,"heading":"The Truth Shows","article":"The truth always shows.  By paying people to post stupid messages on our web site, by coming up with phony bomb threats to shut down a dissident broadcast that might compete with the Great Leader's speech, by having to put fences and thousands of cops around the convention center so the People's Party can have a convention that keeps the people out, we only see how far this nation has changed from the land of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry.\r\n\r\nTake a close look at the picture on IMC.  There are four cops within 10 feet of the van with the \"bomb\".  These four cops are telling you that they KNOW there is no bomb in that van.\r\n\r\nBut it doesn't matter.  The truth is always there to see.  And the more people try to hide it and cover it up, the more brightly it shines through.  Tonight there are thousands of people who are checking out these websites, who maybe weren't sure what's going on.  Tonight they see that picture of those four cops standing next to a \"bomb\" which has shut-down a non-approved political broadcast, and they see the truth.","author":"Patrick Henry","parent_id":1034,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2000-08-16 00:21:04","modified":"2000-08-16 00:23:49","fileurl":""}]}
