I just visited the site AR15 got his photo from. Sorry, but I really don't think this is what the article had in mind. That is a site that doesn't protest anything except Citizens who protest. They claim to be, "liberty-loving" yet apparently devote their time to stopping and interfering with those who are Democrat or 'left' - as they term them- protesting government. What a strange group of Citizen, Anti-Citizens. I mean they are a contradiction in terms and end up no different than the police or government agency that doesn't want freedom of dissent to be heard or exercised.
Maybe someone can explain to me the reasoning for the group that I don't see from a short viewing of the one sentence blather on their messaage board. It is essentially a Republican subterfuge. I kind of think that the kind of protest that Larry Kuperman has in mind would not be deemed allowable by such a group. As the view you express is termed, 'leftist' they would try to assist government in stopping it.
This points up how things have changed since 1992 when Clinton came to power. His moves to take away the second amendment led to much being written about the Federal government as manipulated by the 'controlled media' of "jews", and leftists. Now we have this same 'controlled-media' being held up as purveyors of a truth the Right only understands. What has changed? There are still left and right views, and it's still a largely Jewish owned and funded 'controlled-media', the only difference being that there has been a change in leadership in Israel and America. Amazingly, it is the Left who are now being termed anti-semites and it is their views being suppressed. Who benefits from both cases? The Jews. So tell me, am I a left or right 'anti-Semite' to point this out? Of course I'm neither, just a American who writes a blog occassionally on views of what is right or wrong in this Empire from his own point of view.
I personally view 'protest' as a tool to use to get the views out that the 'controlled-media' tries to suppress from people's awareness. Beyond that, it serves as a recruiting ground for followers, and also does allow ideas to be shared as to the issue at-hand. In this case, there is no way the 'controlled-media' is going to allow the news of what is occuring in the Middle East, and especially Israel, to be known. For more on this you should check out the series of articles I posted titled: On The Death of Tom Hurndall, which goes into how a photojournalist was shot and killed by a Israeli soldier for doing his job and trying to report on real events in that region. The soldier has subsequently been charged with assault for the murder, which further proves how the media is suppressed.
I'm not trying to use this post as launch for my site, but it does have several articles of Israeli troops resigning and other 'Zionist' actions and behaviors that aren't known due to suppression by 'Zionist' controlled media.
It is of use to let people know there are a great number of Americans who oppose the views of the present Administration and not only outside of his own Party. Laura Ingrham[sic] on her radio show was quite vociferous in her denouncement of Bush for his Immigration Act, which betrays the Party and his own Campaign promises. While she is well known, the media has not reported anything of substance on the matter, choosing to define it as for Mexican rights or against Mexican rights, when the issue has nothing to do with Mexicans but everything to do with National Sovereignty. Do you think the 'controlled-media' is going to go to this point though? Of course not, for their job is to contain dissent by re-directing the issue to sidereal matters and so diffuse it.
So we also need to be aware of how government is able to manipulate dissent by its very organization. I once was invited to some 'anarchist' meetings at the time the group was first meeting. They were headed by a graduate student in Political Science who was doing it as a task by his staff Mentor. Over the next month I watched this group of 'Anarchists' define and limit themselves into a anti-male, pro-gay, pro-choice, anti-Republican, pro-queer (their term not mine) group of puppets for the leader. I walked off laughing.
These were people who had come seeking fundamental change in their society, choosing a political philosophy of NO control, and ended up homo-loving anti-Conservative, Leftists who called voting for greens 'Activist' dissent. Worse than that, they could not even understand how I could see anything wrong with their beginning premise and end result. I told the leader he was at fault for he had used their naivete to manipulate them into his own gay-loving sort of loose affiliated singles club. Of course that didn't go over well, but he still tried to challenge me to come back for over a year and debate his actions. I didn't feel they were even worth it, and never went back.
Likewise, I once observed a lawyer who was representing a true activist named, Sister Grace in Rochester, NY. She was a for-real hunger-striking, get arrested activist who let her actions speak for her beliefs. Yet this attorney insinuated himself into her domain and meetings under the guise of providing legal advice of her upcoming afforts to protest various acts agains the homeless and minority community. He actually had them sitting and considering dressing up the homeless in clown suits and parading them down the street on the fourth of July and making them the ridicule of the entire city. Had I not been sufficiently outraged to be thrown out of the meeting, they might well have not stopped to consider what the infiltrator was actually trying to do, derail her credcibility for his controller, for you see they had just lit a fuse under the welfare reciepients -an effort the gov't fears most and THE number one group they fear -by walking in and putting ink hand prints all over the gov't building to protest the fingerprinting of the poor before they could get food to live on.
So you have to be careful of protests as most are contrivances of usurpers having no interest in your views but who are often actually trying to channel and control your dissent so it can be diffused and discredited. Any one from the '60's will tell you about how the government infiltrated movement and even founded them to gain control of dissent rather than respond to it on its own terms and issues.
Today, I think a good issue to draw people in would be to protest the protest zones the President and Government have created to corral you. This is an outrage, and the idea that there is an area designated for dissent and freedom of expression dictates that then there is no freedom of expression outside that zone. It defeats the whole idea of dissent and suppresses freedom at least as effectively as the group I mentioned at the beginning of this reply. It is repugnant to Americans and hasn't been seen as policy since John Adams declared the Liberty Pole a 'Sedition Pole' and ordered arrest of all who went to one. Even Richard Nixon went out into the crowd of kids protesting him and wanted to hear their views - something not generally known of him. I have to believe that a protest zone would be opposed to his political views as well, and he was subject of more protests than about any President this Nation ever had.
Thanks for the post and I hope it invites further comments. I will return to check your progress.
