    from REVOLUTION newspaper [http://revcom.us]:

    Kluckers Threaten Jena March

    A white supremacist group recently announced plans to march and rally in Jena, Louisiana on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 21, 2008. These white racists, who call themselves the “Nationalist Movement,” are billing the event as “Jena Justice Day—No to Jena 6, No to King.” And they are very clear about what this means. In what was basically a free advertisement disguised as an article in the Jena Times, these cavemen kluckers were quoted encouraging people to bring homemade signs calling for jailing the Jena 6, opposing the Martin Luther King holiday, and “down with communism.” They suggested that people come in U.S. military or Confederate Civil War uniforms, and they even encouraged people to DISPLAY NOOSES!!

    As for these racists and their march, we have one thing to say: THE DAY IS LONG SINCE PAST WHEN VIGILANTE RACISTS RUNNING AMOK AND TERRORIZING BLACK PEOPLE IS TOLERABLE. Go crawl back under your miserable rocks, and get out of the way.

    This'll surely bring the fucking ruckus.

    If that place doesn't go up in smoke, I will be shocked.

These resistances are very little known precisely because the reigning spectacle is designed to present an omnipresent hypnotic image of unanimous submission. But they do exist and are spreading.", The Bad Days Will End.


    "(The) working class exists and struggles in all countries, and has the same enemies in all countries – the police, the army, the unions, nationalism, and the fake ‘socialism’ of the bourgeois left. It shows that the conditions for a worldwide revolution are ripening everywhere today. It shows that workers and revolutionaries are not passive spectators of inter-imperialist conflicts: they have a camp to choose, the camp of the proletarian struggle against all the factions of the bourgeoisie and all imperialisms." -ICC, Nation or Class?

    So interestingly enough I heard about this elsewhere today. I immediately decided to go with a group of fellow students down to Jena that day (I live in California) to protest against the clansmen.

    Interestingly enough this is how I'll be celebrating my birthday as I turn 19 on the 21st.

    What a way to celebrate...

    I doubt the Jena community will tolerate this bullshit. Let's hope they come out with full force to meet the fascists.

    I can think of no better way. Afterwards, reward yourself with a few presents as your gift to you for being such a good boy/girl this year!

    I've already arranged to have the Communist Youth Brigade show up there, as well as official party members. I call all factions to ignore sectarianism and show up there to fight! All comrades, tell your local groups!

    Yeah, and what a victory for Equality that was.

    Nationalist Movement is just one guy, Richard Barrett. He is there for the publicity, nothing more. He gets infiltrated all the time whenever he has a rally by us. PLP got him in New Jersey, ARA got him in York, PA. If anything, it would be fun to go down and screw up his works for practice!

    Yea, it seems MLK day is bringing out all the trash. Someone raised a nazi flag overnight at a local high school. Very sickening, something must be done.

    Disgustingly typical of the pigs: "As the counterprotesters attempted to march toward the front of the courthouse, they were met by a line of law enforcement officers who physically tried to hold them back."

    Meanwhile 2 of the nationalists were armed - one with a shotgun!

    I was there, and that was true. We were planning to circle the courthouse several times to drown out the Klan, but there was literally a WALL of dozens of police and sheriffs standing in front of them, blocking us completely. Oddly enough, all of them had their backs turned to the KKK and were facing us, as if we were the REAL threat, even though those neanderthals were the ones who brought GUNS!

    from the news above, it said that they were requested to keep their weapons at their automobiles.

    New Black Panther Party.
    I am just as opposed to this sort of scum as I am the instigators of this "march".
