In brutal 100 degree heat a small pack of protesters insist on marching down the CLOSED 8 mile stretch of road to the Sea Island Georgia G8 Summit in 2004. They were flanked the entire way by National Guard and robo cops attempting to intimidate them into turning around. Eventually some were arrested at the entrance to the "secure zone" for breaching a police line while seated in the street. This video has been brought out of the closete UN Redidted. Presented just as it was edited on the night of this action.
I rarely repost mainstream tv shows, especially from FOX... But, this is really good journalism and this is an expose on the systemic problems facing the United States. We Live in a Fascist State, governed by greedy bastards who brainwash power hungry thugs to respress good hard working honest FREE PEOPLE. True authority is earned with good deeds, not enforced through violence. Violence is enslaving nonviolent people and destroying families for personal gain and ego trips.
Freedom does not subscribe to a system or a dogma or a ruler. Freedom is freedom; you have it or you don't. No Country has freedom. All individuals have freedom. Some individuals claim it. Some individuals are afraid of it and replace it with Democracy, Socialism, Communism, Corporatism, Fascism or Debt Slavery... etc.
Is it possile to turn this shit around? Is Justice & Freedom attainable in the Unted States? If your not the 1%?
November
7, 2011—Today OccupySTL is issuing an open statement regarding the group’s
presence in Kiener Plaza. The statement reads:
Occupy St. Louis is one of many cities that exist as a solidarity movement with
the Occupy Wall Street movement, which formed to publicly attest to the fact
that corporations control far too much of our economy and political life. This
movement has received vast support across the country. How ironic, then,
that Mayor Slay has decided to stop listening to the complaints of the people
and instead heed the complaints of the corporate groups who control the city.
This week, Downtown Partnership met with the mayor’s office and told him
to shut us down. He responded to their call. No more fitting example could
illustrate who is pulling the strings. (For a list of who voiced the words
behind the Mayor's blog: http://www.downtownstl.org/AboutUs/PartnershipforDowntownStLouis/PartnershipBoard.aspx)
12 states now claim they have the right to prohibit the public from holding public servants accountable. This is straight up fascism, anti american, unconstitutional... and just ain't gonna fly. Right?

This in from Rochester IndyMedia - video from the eviction and the 7 arrests at 9 Ravenwood Ave. where Cathy Lennon was forcefully evicted by the RPD on March 28, 2011. Take Back the Land - Rochester was conducting an eviction watch and was able to keep Lennon in her home an extra two weeks. Updates at the end of the video. ` download
With all the hoopla about this incident I decided to do this. Watching people defend this shit is pissing me the fuck off.
I was going to try putting something together that showed this alongside Black Blockers breaking windows and torching symbols of state and economic repression to comment on the difference between Violence and Property Damage. But I didn't have time for something that fancy.
On the right, much has been made about this woman being a paid protester and somehow she got what she deserved, some think it was a set up, all the way down to the guy that stomped her, to make their candidate look bad...
A fictional piece based on real experiences and events in NYC, the video
conveys reactionary hostility toward bicycle riders, artists, poets,
tree-huggers, community gardeners, etc. - specifically in the downtown
community of activists who advocated bicycle power, peace, love, and all
that jazz during the 2004 Republican National Convention in Manhattan.
Last week, world leaders gathered in Pittsburgh for the G20 summit
and delivered - as usual - lots of talk but little promise for action.
There was definitely lots of action on the city's streets as security
forces clashed with protesters. Bill Quigley, Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and author of Storms Still Raging: Katrina, New Orleans and Social Justice is just back from Pittsburgh and breaks down the week's events for us.
