1. BAD BAD BAD DON'T SAY THAT AND ***REALLY*** DON'T DO THAT

Peaceful demonstration. Be very, very careful to be very, very Ghandi-like.

Bushler *WILL* bomb you to smithereens if you pull that kind of stunt, and you had better believe in kill ratios of 1000:1 or more when aerial assaults are involved.

3. Okay, but things like that dare not be said. The FBI *IS* watching.

Some equivalent of COINTELPRO is in full effect. The implication from anywhere that non-peaceful methods may be used is extremely pernicious and can get a lot of people imprisoned and/or killed.

There is no longer free speech in the United States of America (this is not the rightful state of affairs, but the fact of the matter since the USA PATRIOT Act passed). You can't even discuss these things at all. Not even mentioning them in passing or in jest.

Okay?
