Raids carried out on what police described as “the headquarters of an anarchist/anti-authoritarian group” ahead of the Republican National Convention in Minnesota, were directed by the Federal Government it has been revealed.
Salon Columnist Greg Greenwald highlights the Federal involvement in a scathing article denouncing the raids as an all out attack on free speech and the right to protest.
Minnesota Public Radio reported yesterday that “the searches were led by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s office. Deputies coordinated searches with the Minneapolis and St. Paul police departments and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
Photographs (see above) taken by a Professor at the University of Minnesota who lives in the neighborhood where one of the homes was raided yesterday, have also confirmed the federal involvement in the raids.

I have tracked down many of our old heroes, well at least their beliefs. Even the great urban guerillas fighting a tyrannous government in our past and on all fronts around you agree. You must quit being seated and act.
They all agree that the difference between most theorist and most patriots is action. As long as you theorist continue to babble it provides only mild mental masturbation.
Those patriots amongst you must take action. Do any thing you can, anything your comfortable doing. Just do something other than to write a book. It’s been done to death and most don’t read.
Act you citizens of America ACT!

I wish the Feds would pre-emptively raid my computer and stop it from outgassing neurotoxic chemicals into the air I breathe.

I think I see part of the shredded Constitution on the ground between the FBI idiot and the cop with the flat top (admittedly, a redundant term) rubbing his eyes. Good to see our tax dollars spent on such top-shelf specimens of manhood. It’s also heartwarming to see the St. Paul Police Department’s HR policies allows the hiring of Munchkins, as we see there on the left with that cute little one barely taller than his flashlight. They’re a group long discriminated against.

If the American people do not wake up and get rid of this fascist government that is in power before it causes world war three and kills more Innocent men, women and children . If those who are responsible for the madness that has become the American war machine and police state are not fully exposed and prosecuted.The USA the beaken of hope in a troubled world will be a thing of the past.

The USA belongs to Israel because Jesus was a Jew. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus ever stopped being a Jew. Some of his followers just got the wrong idea that Jesus was the Mossiach. He wasn’t. Jesus was just a Rabbi.

Amy Goodman of Democracy now was arrested and manhandled! Watch the youtube video
Democracy Now!’s Amy Goodman, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar
Released After Illegal Arrest at RNC
Goodman Charged with Obstruction; Felony Riot Charges Pending Against
Kouddous and Salazar
ST. PAUL–Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and producers Sharif Abdel
Kouddous and Nicole Salazar have all been released from police custody
in St. Paul following their illegal arrest by Minneapolis Police on
Monday afternoon.
All three were violently manhandled by law enforcement officers. Abdel
Kouddous was slammed against a wall and the ground, leaving his arms
scraped and bloodied. He sustained other injuries to his chest and back.
Salazar’s violent arrest by baton-wielding officers, during which she
was slammed to the ground while yelling, “I’m Press! Press!,” resulted
in her nose bleeding, as well as causing facial pain. Goodman’s arm was
violently yanked by police as she was arrested.
On Tuesday, Democracy Now! will broadcast video of these arrests, as
well as the broader police action. These will also be available on:
http://www.democracynow.org
Goodman was arrested while questioning police about the unlawful
detention of Kouddous and Salazar who were arrested while they carried
out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrations at the
Republican National Convention. Goodman’s crime appears to have been
defending her colleagues and the freedom of the press.
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher told Democracy Now! that Kouddous and
Salazar were arrested on suspicion of rioting, a felony. While the three
have been released, they all still face charges stemming from their
unlawful arrest. Kouddous and Salazar face pending charges of suspicion
of felony riot, while Goodman has been officially charged with
obstruction of a legal process and interference with a “peace officer.”
Democracy Now! forcefully rejects all of these charges as false and an
attempt at intimidation of these journalists. We demand that the charges
be immediately and completely dropped.
Democracy Now! stands by Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar and condemns this
action by Twin Cities’ law enforcement as a clear violation of the
freedom of the press and the First Amendment rights of these journalists.
During the demonstration in which the Democracy Now! team was arrested,
law enforcement officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion
grenades and excessive force against protesters and journalists. Several
dozen demonstrators were also arrested during this action, including a
photographer for the Associated Press.
Amy Goodman is one of the most well-known and well-respected journalists
in the United States. She has received journalism’s top honors for her
reporting and has a distinguished reputation of bravery and courage. The
arrest of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar and the subsequent criminal
charges and threat of charges are a transparent attempt to intimidate
journalists.
Democracy Now! is a nationally-syndicated public TV and radio program
that airs on over 700 radio and TV stations across the US and the globe.

“israel owns America because Jesus was a jew.”
revelations 3-9. Jesus is not telling you to watch out for evil muslims you ignorant ass.
israel is war by deception and when the people awake to the blaphemy committed in their name, the measure of revenge will be 10 fold to the evil ones.

No, Israel owns America because the traitor Woodrow Wilson signed our money supply over to the House of Rothschild European Bankers in 1913 when he signed the Federal Reserve Act. Those same Jews own the Federal Reserve!

Impeach Woodrow Wilson – show him for the scum he was.

I’d like to ask all of you that keep posting on this site about changing our government and getting off of our asses and doing something, what should we do? What are you doing? Is someone organizing a revolt against our Federal Government? If someone is then spread the word, because I’m sure lots of people would take part. I’ll admit that right now I’m doing nothing to stop the erosion of our rights and freedoms. I wish I had the time and money to get out and do something but I can barely pay the bills and keep my damn car running properly on the crap wages I make. Instead of exhorting people to action on a website comment forum stand up and lead by example if you’ve got a plan. If you don’t have a plan of action stop trying to get others to do the job you want done. I’m not trying to come down on anyone for what’s being said here. I’m just tired of reading posts by people that aren’t taking action asking others to do it for them. If I’ve rubbed anyone the wrong way with this post, I’m sorry. It just seemed like something that needed to be said.

It seems that as we approach the elections we see less freedom of speech and rights to assemble to air our grievances. Someone asked why no one is trying to arrange a revolution and I understand the frustration. We have freedom of speech here on line, to try to get the word out to see if anyone wants to save America…and if no one does anything except write, then we will see a complete loss of our freedoms. The constitution and bill of rights were put into place for this same purpose: to protect our rights…and if those laws were put into place are ignored by our own government…then we know what the outcome will be.

To Greggmcd,
Your slumping financial situation is part of their plan, going back to the federal reseve system. It makes it easier to bully your way in if the opposers can’t finance their fight. But there are people trying to stand up in many differant ways. You have the protestors who are supposed to have the right to protest peacefully and we see that they no longer have that right. We have had whistle blowers come out and warn of dishonestness and corruption in the white house and then you see those same whistle blowers on the news because they reportedly “commited suicide”(yeah right). The reason there is not already a civil war is because the government opperates on fear! They admit to false flag terrorist acts (the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen) and yet we are domestic terrorist for thinking they might just be lying about something(like 9-11)! They are operating on the same fear system that Hitler did and that’s why so many people can only bring themselves to write on some forum. Myself, I don’t know what is going to happen, but I do know that my family has planned for as much as possible. We’ve stocked up on food and water in case the stores shelves aren’t stocked. We have a plan in place as to where to go if shit hits the fan and we have even armed ourselves in case I have to protect my family against unneccesary force! I think that it is already too late to voice an oppinion, we all waited too long. They have already stripped us of our constitutional rights, the freedom of speach is GONE!!! During Katrina they STOLE the citizens firearms who stayed behind to protect their property, leaving them helpless against the thugs that were running the area at the time! You know they impeached Clinton for getting some head! I think they should give Bush life in prison!! But the reality is that if you don’t like what bush did, YOU just might be looking at life in prison! So gregg my advice is to KEEP writing on these forums so we can all bounce ideas and theories off each other and to GET YOUR FAMILY PREPARED even if it’s a natural disaster, all your planning could still come in handy. The people who need to stop writing are the ones who get on here and critisize us who like to research our own information, rather than just believe what has been told to us by the crooked f*ckers in the White House!!

Those that complain about the Fed they will go broke too. How to make them broke is with the subprime market and keep borrowing. When banks cant pay they lose. As people lose more jobs bye bye banks. Without banks and stock market no money for the Feds. Everybody has dealer and buyer. Then their toilet paper is worthless. Why the US hates Russia because they are not controlled by bankers. Yes they have their mafia problems. Besides I bet Fort Knox is empty. If blacksmiths can create the banking system. Obama’s mom wrote a thesis paper on blacksmiths but the republicans make fun of it. We can recover and create something without chips. I will shot anybody that tries to put one of those things in me. Currency is anything that accepted by the people and is transferable. Just a funny thought We could have a system in beer and for international currency with import beers in each country. We would have tax system because beer has a life so there is no holding on to it. Though I guess we would be really drinking our money away.

Many people don’t know what is goin on and do not know what to do about it. I guess the thing we can do is just keep all the information we learn in mind until the time is needed so a large percentage of us can join hands.
