1. kick!

For the brave protestors. Make sure you click on the Boston "bloodbath" link. Some of this will have to get into MSM by osmosis or something.

I love "The American Revolution is ongoing."

[lebkuchen]

2. Fantastic!

Bush must be grateful to see that GA, AL, LA, SC, NC, TN, TX, FL, KY, UT, NV, WY, OH, MT, OK, et al aren't on the list of closures. He's got to get cannon fodder from somewhere!

3. bump

[diamond14]

6. thanks...

:hi:

[diamond14]

4. be sure and KICK the Fort Bragg photo series, Parts 1,2, and 3

Fort Bragg is an American Military REVOLT against the bush* wars...

reminiscent of the 1958 French Army revolt in Algeria...

[Desertrose]

8. if you give us links we can help

to kick them up :)

:hi: d14...glad you made this a separate post.

This needs to make the MSM....(I can dream , can't I??)

[diamond14]

9. those threads are floating around somewhere on DU - GD

and maybe still on Greatest Discussion Threads



Three Part Series on THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT to turn America back to PEACE....OUR OWN SOLDIERS.....

thanks ! for being a DU army of KICKERS to get the word out....

:kick:

[diamond14]

14. found them....I'll KICK them up NOW...but please keep them kicked up

Ft. Bragg is the BIG EVENT...and people need to SEE it...especially our troops serving overseas and in locations across America...

[Just Me]

5. WOW!!! That is SO DAMN COOL!!!!

:bounce:

[bowens43]

7. Very Cool!!! Thanks for the post!

[diamond14]

46. your welcome....we're putting together a mega-file with all the

PHOTOS: Pro-Peace STAND UPS from all across America...

[GoSolar]

10. Kick!

[katinmn]

11. Kick!

[dhinojosa]

12. Everything is cool, EXCEPT the defacing of property.

We wouldn't like it if religious right wing protesters started defacing abortion clinics, so why allow this?

[Misunderestimator]

16. Please point out exactly where any property was "defaced"...

I see removable signs, what on earth do you see?

[bear425]

19. *crickets chirping*

I see peaceful demonstrations, too. And no defacement of property! We should do this at least once a month, no?

[dhinojosa]

21. This was one of the pictures

[bear425]

23. Looks like a removable poster to me

:shrug:

I just wish we were out in the streets for more than just one day a year. I agree that we should peacefully demonstrate without defacing property.

edit: always spelling

[dhinojosa]

29. A poster adhered with scotch tape doesn't look different than ....

poster adhered with superglue.

Even if it was scotch-tape it is wrong to do that to personal, government, or state property.

[LiberalFighter]

45. It wouldn't be state or government property because they lease

So that leaves personal property of a major real estate company.

[dhinojosa]

51. Yep, very true. Good point. eom

[bear425]

48. Ok, you're right. n/t

[dhinojosa]

20. Uhm, this picture?

[dhinojosa]

22. and here is another "removeable"

I don't know how you can tell that these are "removeable".

[Misunderestimator]

25. Well, let's see... they all look like they are taped to GLASS...

no defacing of the glass, no damage to any property. :silly:

[dhinojosa]

28. Wow, such remarkable vision considering......

1) The photo is at a distance
2) The photo is blurry
3) Even if it was scotch tape it is still defacing of property.

If some asshole came by my house and taped Tom Delay pictures all over my house with scotch tape, do you think I will just whimsically laugh it off and give that person some lemonade and big hug. Nah! I am pressing charges. End of story, I'll see that dumbass in court.

[Misunderestimator]

31. How is it defacing property... and why on earth do you feel so strongly

about some signs taped to windows...

[dhinojosa]

34. Because, its low-class and other people's property.

and it exactly feeds into the "liberals run amok" on the main-stream-media. It counters the message you are saying, and furthermore it is nothing more than petty vandalism.

[Misunderestimator]

35. You see it as petty, I see it as laudable protest.

[jonnyblitz]

53. there always has to be somebody to stink up an otherwise

good thread. always. :eyes:

[donco6]

56. That's dopey.

But I suppose you're entitled to your opinion.

Even if it is dopey.

[dhinojosa]

60. Do ya have a specific instance as to what is dopey? eom

[diamond14]

30. bump

:nuke:

[MADem]

24. The San Diego Recruiting Station was defaced with spray paint

...there is another thread on the board about it.

[Beaverhausen]

47. here is a link to the thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3325709

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. If you are talking about the pouring of fake blood on the sidewalk

at the Boston "Bloodbath", it is fake blood and easily washed away with a hose.

And anit-choice protesters regularly throw fake blood on the steps of clinics, for your information.

[dhinojosa]

18. Two wrongs don't make a right....

[Misunderestimator]

26. Oh please... how is it wrong to protest? Would you suggest no signs,

no posters, no shouting or disrupting?

[dhinojosa]

27. Geez! I am talking about defacing property...

That is why my original post is labeled "Everything is cool, EXCEPT the defacing of property."





You can do whatever you want in a protest, I am just against defacing property.

[Misunderestimator]

32. No defacing is harming or destroying... like graffiti... not like signs on

windows...

[dhinojosa]

36. In English please? eom

[Misunderestimator]

37. Sure, add a comma after No... and there you have it.

LOL... Never thought I'd see the day when someone can't understand a sentence that is lacking a comma.

[dhinojosa]

38. Definition of defacing....

To mar or spoil the appearance or surface of; disfigure.

So whether you like it or not it's defacing

[Misunderestimator]

39. And why do you care if they "deface" windows with protest signs?

Really... What would you suggest, no signs at all?

[dhinojosa]

42. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the signs in your hands, don't put them up on other people's property.

[diamond14]

55. military recruitment centers BELONG to "WE THE PEOPLE"....

the United States of America is US....anything bought by the AMERICAN PEOPLE belongs to THE AMERICAN PEOPLE....


whining about a little SCOTCH TAPE...get a grip...


wan't to see some property damage?...go look at the PHOTOS of Kent State ROTC military recruitment center being BURNED TO THE GROUND...and 30 other ROTC military recruitment centers all across America SET ON FIRE, BOMBED and BURNED TO THE GROUND...all in ONE WEEK....


IMO, the current military recruitment SHUT DOWNS have been undertaken in a non-violent and non-destructive manner, and should be highly commended....I hope you decide to stop your nit-picking...

[dhinojosa]

62. Ugh...boy....

1. So cop cars belong to "we the people" too, but somehow our laws prohibit that. Vandalizing is also against the law, and I don't think having liberals behave like that will ever get us what we need.

2. You don't know it's scotch tape, please see some of my other posts. Could be superglue, or some other adhesive.

3. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because some protestors committed arson in the 60s doesn't give us the right to vandalize today.

4. I have nothing wrong with the shutdowns and never said I did. I have a problem with the vandalizing. When we liberals vandalize we are contradicting our point to maintain peace in our world.

[htuttle]

13. You missed one -- Madison, WI shut ours down, too

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=186x6102

[diamond14]

15. thanks...there was STILL TIME to add it....

:hi:

I've seen HUNDREDS all over the web...some have just a local report with no photos...some have photos that I can't post here...some have VIDEOS, and I am worn out posting Pro-Peace events...



Thank-you so much for STANDING UP....Jesus blessed the PEACE-MAKERS, not the war-makers...

[Al-CIAda]

33. beautiful -nominated -eom

[xultar]

40. Fuckin Straight UP!!!!!!!! kick

:kick:

[Mr_Spock]

41. This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Great work putting this post together!

...brought a tear to my eye!

[FreedomAngel82]

43. Great photos!

My favorite is the one of the three men with the signs dealing with Jesus. And they're so right.

[Pool Hall Ace]

44. "The American Revolution is ongoing." -- I love it!

:headbang:

49. indymedia is censored in Nepal

I live in Kathmandu and cannot access any of the indymedia photos. The king staged a royal coup here on Feb 1 and I'm now convinced that my ISP has been instructed to block indymedia -- it must link to a Maoist website in some way. The Maoists are fighting the government in a horrible, gruesome civil war though few people outside Nepal really know about it.

The point is, though, that I am experiencing REAL Internet censorship for the first time. And I don't like it. I cannot begin a thread, as I have too few posts. But this is a great example of what might happen if/when the glorious US government decides to "filter" ALL the news.

If there's another source for viewing all the photos, please let me know. I'm really anxious to see them.

Thanks.

[diamond14]

52. DUers are working on the Fort Bragg military revolt photos

we're trying to make them have less pixels, so a 'little bit' less resolution, but then they will download easier onto slow DIAL UP computers....


we'll repost the Fort Bragg photos when we get done...a few days...

likely the MAIN reason that you can't SEE indymedia is that it's a GIANTIC HUGE world-wide site....and I think you said that you were on a dial-up connection....if you can SEE most of DU, then the KING is not blocking anything....IMO, your king has a LOT more things to worry about right now....

58. i confirmed this with my ISP.

here's the exchange. read from the bottom up.

FROM ISP
I am sorry, we can't reveal the list.

Best regards,

young CANNON FODDER is ferquently out on Saturday, wandering around shopping malls and strip malls and city centers where the U.S. Military has conveniently located their CANNON FODDER RECRUITMENT centers....
