peace.

[skooooo]

1. Seems like the country has been taken over....

...by 10 year old boys who want to play dress-up spy or something.

Sheesh.

[damntexdem]

18. No, 10-year-old boys would have more sense.

This is more like 9-year-old Republicans.

[skylarmae]

2. this is worrisome as the gathering begins today in DC

I'm lighting a candle immediately for non-violence this weekend..

Georgie Porgie, even YOU wouldn't...wouldn't dare...

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. Thise coming weekend would be a great time to experiment with

"...unique rules of engagement regarding the use of lethal force, the use of experimental non-lethal weapons, and federal and military control of incident locations that are highly controversial and might border on the illegal."

Between this and Rita, I may not be able to breathe easy all weekend.

[damntexdem]

19. Well, I'll be waiting for what part of Rita gets to North Texas, and

my wife's already in DC, planning for Saturday. So our family will get a two-fer.

[MN ChimpH8R]

12. Oh yes he would.

The criminal cabal in power, led by Cheney and Rummy has no qualms whatsoever about killing unarmed citizens in the streets. They have faith in their ability to make sure it's never reported in the corporate media. The sheeple would cheer in any case.

[fooj]

33. Excellent idea. I'm with you!

Peace.

[acmejack]

3. No one seems to grasp the difference between these guys

and undercover police. Seal Team 6 is an elite counter terror group whose personnel resemble anything but soldiers! They operate in civilian clothes.

[damntexdem]

21. Yeah, but the fur and the smell of fish gives them away.

Urk, urk, urk.

[acmejack]

30. arghh!

LOL Good one!

[meganmonkey]

4. I wonder what they'll be doing this weekend?

Fuck 'em. What are ya gonna do? I'll see you all in the streets. There's bound to be more of us than them!

:patriot:

[Melodybe]

5. See ya there baby, with bells on!

[meganmonkey]

10. Ding Ding Ding!

:bounce:

I'm leaving in 2 1/2 hours! I am so excited. I'm glad I got all my work done because I am useless right now :silly:

[electropop]

22. I am sitting at my desk 2 blocks from the rally site.

I am so pumped! This morning, on the way in, I saw that Veterans for Peace have planted thousands of crosses on a huge patch of grass right near the Washington Monument. Beautiful and sad.

[DancingBear]

26. GONG! GONG! GONG!

How's that for bells???

See you in D.C.!!!

[meganmonkey]

27. Yay!

[fooj]

34. Be safe everyone!

Give 'em hell, Melody!

Peace.

[mod mom]

15. Hi MM, I'll be there with my kids and their mod dad!

[meganmonkey]

23. Hey there, fellow MM!

It'd be great to see you again. Will you be at any of the DU events, or the meetup place at the march?

[mod mom]

28. I'll be meeting people around PDA area, still waiting for confirmations as

to wear, will have a DU sticker on my back. Too bad Skinner doesn't set up a DU table. They could get a lot of new DU converts if they did!

[acmejack]

31. Heck, why does Skinner have to do it?

Just make a pamphlet & have kinkos print a bunch of them. Go Mmom!

edit for spelilng

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. They are wargaming the wargame

commandos are not in the streets but in special rooms and computer simuilators, and yes they are probably quite POed that somebody wrote about this....

These exercises go on and have gone on regularlly for the last fifty years. Yet the author is correct, we should know a little more about them, hell they have a biweekly exercise drawn from the headlines, where the top leaders of industry are asked to participate...

[earth mom]

7. Whoa! I am scared for the everyone who'll be in DC on the 24th.

How absolutely despicable that they might try and turn a peaceful protest into some sort of "unrest"!

BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grr:

[KyndCulture]

8. OMG. this scares me for those in DC.

this seems totally aimed at scaring people away.

[shadowknows69]

11. Guess what.

Not working. See you all Saturday.

[me b zola]

17. It's not working here, either

I'll see you in DC! :patriot:

[swimboy]

25. Amen! I'll see you in the streets!

[Blue_In_AK]

37. Not working for me, either...

I have 400+ minutes charged up on my camera. I'll be ready.

[shadowknows69]

38. just got myself a 3 hour battery pack

and have 2 more 50 minute packs ready to go.

[katinmn]

24. that's what it looks like to me, too.

[KansDem]

13. Any one of them wearing American clothes and disguises?

And driving a car wired to explode?

Just curious...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Bring lots of cameras, fresh batteries, memory cards, camera phones.

Download / upload frequently.

When a memory card gets full, give to a friend who doesn't have a camera.

Have prestamped envelopes for film to mail to yourself or a stay at home friend so you can shoot and drop off so you wont' lose images.

[damntexdem]

16. Oh, they're just planning against WMDs:

Weekends of Massive Dissent, like on Saturday.

[Mutley]

20. They won't scare me into staying home on Saturday.

No way. No how.

[Roland99]

29. Shit like this makes me seriously consider acquiring an arsenal of guns.

[acmejack]

32. Non violence is the answer, my friend.

We don't want a shooting war! If we believe in non-violence we must practice it. I have seen enough death to last me a lifetime & I hope you will spare yourself from the same. Please?

[Roland99]

35. Not when they come barging into my home uninvited.

[fooj]

39. I hear ya.

Peace.

[Canuckistanian]

36. We've got to fight SMERSH

We've got to track them down to their underwater lair in Corsica or The Bahamas and foil their evil plan to shoot down all of our rockets.

But first.... we need some spies and a secret code name.

[applegrove]

40. Seems like the "perception of control" is more important during a

demonstration than in natural calamity. They certainly know how to use a psychological edge. I wonder why they forgot all that psychology during the first week of Katrina?
