RNC

Something fishy is going on here. I think I made it to China without leaving my home. This past week our "fare" government has made it clear that if you are not republican you will be targeted. In St. Paul people were dragged from homes and arrest for "probable cause of conspiracy to commit a riot", so says Gina Berglund the protesters attorney. Early in the week I saw on CNN.com a video of a cop with no provication stepping forward and spraying a biker in the face with mace.I them saw a clip of police throwing things at a guy being pushed in a wheel chair. (I can't seem to find these videos anymore on cnn.com.) Something is happening here. The fight is in full swing and it is clear even the media can't keep it out. Protesters interrupted MacCain as he spoke, finishing the week with much needed media coverage. I think it was interesting that the republicans would chant "USA, USA" over the protesters like this was validation for their evil empire.

Many people are still indifferent to this fight. I was asked by one of these individuals, "why would they do that, why would they interrupt?". I explained to them that protest were going on all week and it final made its way into the republican castle. This individuals had never really heard about the protesters outside the RNC. This is just insane that people aren't hearing about this. The government really is trying to silence this uprising. Try going to www.protestrnc2008.org and you will get:

Well thank goodness for youtube and even myspace. There are voices screaming out from these sites showing the horrors of the treatment for those who have a right to protest. See the insanity on youtube by typing in RNC protest. Some of the footage is very shaky and hard to few, but it's because they are being fire upon.
