i spoke to some lady from some radical radio today. wonder if i'll ever hear it...dev spoke too. let us know if you hear it! i was talking about how silly it is that californians are complaining about californians speaking out, after all that's what we're all about here. and other stuff. anyways...another irony being that WE are paying those cops their overtime ya know, we are after all the taxpayer. so i wish the media would shut up about that.
wish we had seen you! we had a great time thursday and today, tho today was a little less energetic and spontaneous. we were all good little protesters herded up right proper and behaving as we ought, as we pay the cops to tell us to behave.
the highlight of today for me was the ex-army officer who served in desert storm, the one walking around with the little megaphone talking about his experience....i asked him about the story i heard somewhere along the way that the US army bulldozed hundreds of LIVE iraqi soldiers AFTER they had surrendered, and he said YES, and told us the whole story, fucking horrific. i tried to find him later after i peed to get his literature but he was gone away. anyways he said that after they surrendered and retreated the zUS army bombed them with chemicals which totally destroyed, melted them, and then while they were still alive they bulldozed them so there would be nothing to photograph. he also said that our troops over there now are in a high chemical area, and our government knows it but sent them anyways. chemicals WE put there. i REALLY wish i had gotten the info. bah.
anyways...i bet rainbow does a bumpin' business today...i hope so....talk to you soon gordon!
