For ex. PETA, Greenpeace, the far Left  (radical, yet pacifistic) political activists, gay rights activists, civil rights activists, animal and environmental rights activists, feminist activists, etc etc etc MUST UNITE AND BECOME ONE HUGE REVOLUTIONARY FORCE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AND OVERTHROW THE FASCIST BUREAUCRACY, ABOLISH RACISM, THE DRUG WAR, SEXISM, CLASSISM, IGNORANCE, VIOLENCE, HATRED, HYPOCRISY, DECEPTION, MIND AND BODY CONTROL AND EVERYTHING ELSE. \r\nThese isolated groups like I mentioned can no longer remain alone in their causes. In order to effect any change at all, we have to start contacting other groups. Afterall, we all have one bottomline cause - Freedom. That is the underlying theme in every activist's struggle. We have  to get over whatever disagreements we may have with eachother and understand who the REAL enemy is, the enemy who CAUSES us to become \"activists\" in the first place. That is the united states government and corporate america. \r\n  And now they are threatening even more of our freedom. There was a huge protest in Seattle last November (about 15,000 demonstrators) about the WTO (World Trade Order). Corporate america is trying to form alliances with corporations all around the world and eventually become a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT!! And a one world bank!!  Totalitarianism to the fullest!  But now we're trying to stop it and that is what the websites are about that I sent you, so please check them out whenever you get around to it. Most importantly though, after you're made aware of what our world might become like, you have to get the word out to every activist group you can think of. No longer can activists do anything productive if they remain by themselves.  That is the only way we will effect any changes. We must unite.\r\n\r\nIn Solidarity","author":"Tim","parent_id":3550,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2000-08-31 19:55:18","modified":"2000-08-31 21:00:01","fileurl":""},{"id":3562,"heading":"Seattle Was Awsome!","article":"We had over 40,000 AF of L & C of IO alone.  I drove cab in Seattle for 5 years and I know what 50,000 people looks like.  That many leave every Husky game, or Seahawks game.\r\nWe had over 100,000 people in our streets.  When we ask ourselves \"Who are we?\" Know this: We are the AF of L & C of IO.  WE are the greater Seattle council of churches (Methodist, Episcopalian, Jew, Muslim and Baptist) The First United methodist Church is where we met to go to the convergence at the Exhibition hall.  We are the sierra club.\r\nAnd we certainly arte the communists, socialists, Democrats, Republicans (sic),.  So as I am standing with Labor, Church, and Environment, I ask \"WHO Aren't WE?\"\r\nThe politics of exclusion is an ugly art, but \"Who Aren't We?  The media got beta up.  Ask Brian Woods, KIRO TV (CBS)reporter, who was beat, as were we all. His job means a lot to him, but I long for the day he becomes anchor of KIRO in Seattle. We own our democratic institutions. Our streets!\r\nOur schools! Our police! Our finest! Our politicians. They are our neighbors, our future friends! Two steps forward, one more step forward! Free Mumia!
