THE TRUE MAJORITY OF THE UNITED STATES PEOPLE THANKS THE BRITISH PROTESTORS

Lance Luther | 22.03.2003 09:38

So many people here Arrested through out the United States THANK YOU, the protesting and ACTION-protesting people of Britain Scotland and Wales, for actually LEADING the World in these protests - Along with the people of ITALY and SPAIN.

So many people here Arrested through out the United States THANK the protesting and ACTION-protesting people of Britain Scotland and Wales for actually LEADING the World in these protests - Along with the people of ITALY.

This PROVES that there are MILLIONS of Fine Just Brave people in these two countries. The Americans - my countrymen have become Timid. But you Inspire us and set the example. We thank you. We only have had one area of the US that dares as you dare - and that is SANFRANCISCO - I don't know whether the BBC convered it - But the SanFranciscans SHUT THEIR CITY DOWN for a period On Wednesday.

There are protests in All the Major and most of the large cities in the US - But the LONDON protests have become LEGENDARY. London and Rome have a place in this year's history of the human race that must be in the history books as long as the history books tell any truth at all.

How Right (Eric Arthur Blair) GEERGE ORWELL was my friends. All that he predicted in "1984" has come true - Except that the British are not afraid as he predicted and they are not buying the bullshit.

You would not believe how we admire you.

After Blair and Bush and ALL their Cronies complete this atrocity . We MUST GET RID OF THEM. GET THEM OUT BEFORE the Next Scheduled Phony 'elections' - GET THEM out By MASS PROTEST DEMANDING A NATIONAL VOTE REFERENDUM TO GET THEM OUT. WE MUST DEMAND THAT A NATIONAL REFERENDUM BY CALLED AGAINST THESE ENEMIES OF HUMANTIY - IMMEDIATELY.

LET BOTH SIDES OF THE OCEAN DEMAND NATIONAL REFERENDUMS - AT THE SAME TIME - ON THE BASIS THAT THE 'Leaders" Have committed Treason against the Interests of their People.

No as far as I know the BBC haven't reported anything of the San Francisco events. They haven't even reported properly on the London demonstrations on Thursday/Friday.

They focus on only the violent demonstrations.

British news cop out

Hours of non stories about the war, sod all about cities across the UK (not just London) being brought to a standstill by demonstrations. Thursday was the biggest recorded demo ever in Bristol, between 3 & 5,000 people hit the streets with very little notice. Not much reporting going on though :(

The could not care less attitude continues all around me.Iraq is in flames and all the sheeple i am surrounded by are only interested in their usual brain dead activities.The cutting of grass ,cleaning of cars , shopping,and simple do-it-yourself tasks of a moronic people.What hope is there for justice in this stupid society?

"True majority" ???????

Please, you really should take your medication.

Look, I am opposed to the war, but indulging in self delusion is childish. Yes there are millions in the US opposed to what our country is doing, but the population of the US is in the hundreds of millions. We who are opposed to the war, we who believe the society should be fundamentally changed, we are a small minority.

That doesn't make us wrong. One thing to understand is that democracy doesn't necessarily mean wise or good decisions, just that the decisions will reflect the will of the people. So when the society seems hell bent down what to us is the wrong path that does NOT mean it's undemocratic.

That's what our protests mean, simply the message "you are wrong". If we were a majority (or even a sizable minority rather than a small one) there would be no need to protest.

You say that the Peace Activists in the US don't represent the True Majority? I don't know where you are in the states Mike - but I have been at the demos from NY to Maine. They are the biggest ever seen in these areas - except I am not sure about Boston.

What are you looking at Mike. The NY(Sulzberger owned) Times' "polls" ? On February 16 Amy Goodman called the NY Times and asked them why their crowd figures were in only in the 10s of thousands. They said that was all they counted. She said,"but the Police estimate was over half a million" They said they would check into it. The next day they 'revised' their figures. She asked "what happened?". The spokesman said ,"Oh just a difference is 'perspective'.

When in history was the entire city of SanFrancisco Shut down for an Anti-War demonstration? They Shut it down this week. I don't remember that happening even during Vietnam and by 1972 A Majority of the country was Against the Vietnam War.

A guy in a Florida Newspaper was Fired for reprinting the Ariel Sharon quote,"Don't worry about America, We control America".

You remember the 'Gulf of Tonkin Resolution' that the Papers Knew was a lie - but gave Johnson his 'attack' so he coud order the invasion of North Vietnam? You remember the body-count figures? The lies. The territory controlled figures? The US casualty figures that only came out later? Do I need to go on? The Fla election figures that AFTER the Supreme court verdict proved Gore Won?

OK now Mike WHO are you getting your info from that tells you that the TRUE Majority of the US are not against this War? The Sulzberger papers? The same papers that gave us the phony NYC demonstratin figures?

And where am I getting my Info? The statistical analysis report that came out in 1972 on how many people EACH Demonstator represents who are not demonstrating but are of the Same opinion . Minimum 10 per demonstrator and the more emotionally intense the issue the more are added to that 10 until its 14. And Everybody I ask everywhere. All the cars almost Unanimously honking there horns to support the demonstrators"Hone if you want Peace".

The US Clear Channel Radio corporation is PAYING small groups of people to counter-demonstrate For the War. Even by PAYING Them they can get only tens and twenties.

If you are going to believe the newspaper polls - then you gotta believe that Saddam has thousands of 'weapons of mass destruction'. There comes a time when a man matures in America that he realizes that the Newspapers Always lie to support the government line. That understanding is one of the marks of adulthood in America. Yes We Against the War - ARE the TRUE Majority.
