The movement is picking up!! i attended the demo this pased weekend to end the occupation!! it was awesome, we marched from Dolores Park to the Civic Center(a long march, for all you non SFers!)! and it was pretty cool, i was hangin out with my comrades, doin the march, raisin the fist! And we were all surprised that the movement picked up!! It went from dead(beggining of the war) to revitalised completely! Anti-GOVT sentiment is mounting up! we took SF by surprise! they thoguht that we died! but no were alive, strong as ever! This is an exciting day!

AND whats even more exciting, is the protest in October 25th! all try an make it if you can, i think its also worldwide, but im not sure, all those in Cali, make sure you come! PUSH ALL YOUR MIDDLE FINGERS UP AT GEORGE BUSH!

Ahh, CompadreGuerillera, we do really need to meet up at the next one. I was their in SF this past weekend as well. I car pooled with a few other activist from my college and got to the park around 11:30. At that particular time, though, i was a little worried; their looked to be only about 2 hundred people at the park. Fortunatley as the time came close to march, more and more people showed up. I was walking and talking with a friend that volunteered for ANSWER to ask for donations (one of the guys with the garbage cans towards the end of the march asking for money), and he told me that the march had 4-5 blocks of people packed in. He estimated the total number at a little over 5,000, which i think is a great number. It isnt the old 250,000 people like used to be, but it does show that people are still pissed off and ready to march for it. Im hoping that the october march will be much bigger.

on a side note, i got into a little debate with two guys from the LaRouche (sp) campaign. People had told me it was a cult like organization before, but i had never really thought about it. Now i truly know that it is very close to a cult like organization.

The october 25th protest is in San Francisco, but im not sure where at exactly. I just went to the ANSWER website and most of their stuff is focused on the east coast, with flyers for the DC march but not the SF one.

How much are the tickets for Moore at Berkeley? He is speaking in Davis too (where im at college) but im not sure if their are tickets still up for sale or not.

Shit, I may drive down from Seattle if it's on October 25th, if I have money. Or if any nice people would let me stay over ? If not, I can always sleep in my car. Wouldn't be the first time !

Plus I wanna skate Justin Herman plaza (or EMB to skaters).

Yep. I have an old friend of mine who got caught up in the business. He quit school, and is now working in LaRouche campaigning full time (getting shit pay, mind you), and learning a lot of useless crap in some school of theirs like learning how to do square roots in your head. It's as bad as the terrible education system.

EneME:

The SF protest on the 25th will begin at the civic center (http://internationalanswer.org/SFcampaigns/index.html), which is a little weird since most of the protest end there. The site says the logistics will be posted soon, so i would check back in the near future for more information if you want to know the exact route the march will go and/or end. Ill be down there for sure, so if you want to meet up or anything, let me know.

Yes, they kept telling me something about things in the past being wrong because they were thought of outside of the proper thinking of the mind, which is geometrical thinking, or something like that. A friend whisperd in my ear as i was talking to them "ask them what happens when LaRouche dies." i couldnt help but laugh, considering their worship of the guy as a god.
