Something truly astonishing…

Perhaps most extraordinarily, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now — the radio and TV broadcaster who has been a working journalist for close to 20 years — was arrested on the street and charged with “conspiracy to riot.”

Seriously now! Amy friggin Goodman poses a threat? WTF is going on in St. Paul? If anyone with some insight could help out please feel free to do so.

Any rational person planning to protest the GOP Convention would, in light of this Government spying and these police raids, think twice — at least — about whether to do so. That is the point of the raids — to announce to citizens that they best stay in their homes and be good, quiet, meek, compliant people unless they want their homes to be invaded, their property seized, and have rifles pointed at them, too. The fact that this behavior is producing so little outcry only ensures, for obvious reasons, that it will continue in the future. We love our Surveillance State for keeping us safe and maintaining nice, quiet order.

An excerpt from a well written Glenn Greenwald post. What will it take to get you upset enough to do something? For those of you already peeved, you can call the office of St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman here: 651-266-8510.

Scientology protests… You don’t have to be anonymous to protest, just identify yourself as a non-anon. Your help will be gladly accepted. Also, watch this video first, before you come out…
