US Democracy at Miami FTAA: "if they engage in lawful activity, we're gonna arrest them."

category international | anti-capitalism | news report author Saturday November 22, 2003 15:34author by don johnson Report this post to the editors

A compilation of firsthand reports / analysis

They love 'Freedom' in Miami - they 'really' do . .
Here are some reports from the streets there. Much more at the related 'ftaaimc' link. Makes a mockery of Bush's statement about the protests in the UK during his visit - 'Isn't freedom wonderful'. And the Black Bloc . . . what can you say? . . . It's gone beyond a joke . . . at this rate even the Irish police will cop on to this tactic sooner or later

The commondreams article linked below explains that the current "draft ministerial agreement" is a far cry from what the USA originally wanted from the FTAA and that this is a further defeat from the one imposted at Cancun against the WTO.

Further, what's all the brou-ha-ha about the black bloc? Cops have been starting violence at protests for hundreds of years and just because they target one effective group of activists doesn't meant that everyone else should start beating up on those activists too. If the bb weren't there then the cops would be wandering around without masks pretending to be "trade unionists" or something.

Support your local black bloc.

sure, ya lets all go out and dress up as riot cops, balaclavas and body armour. turn their tactics back on them, the cops will be masked up and smashing things, we can be tooled up in the name of state sanctioned violence ;)

wonder how the meeja will play that one, the thin yellow line fighting off their own black block to protect a bunch of masked up provocateurs.

makes more sense than getting all dressed up to ensure that agitators are more easily able to infiltrate and provoke.

SHOW YOUR FACE WHILST WE SMASH THE STATE, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF??? DON'T YOU THINK WE'LL WIN???

The protests are getting scarier and scarier here in the United States and it has nothing to do with black bloc or marching naked ladies. All my life I have been volunteering and walking towards human justice.

They have decided that the violence against us in Miami should set the new standard in US assemblies of politically left people.

So why should you cover your face? Be prepared for them to suddenly start throwing tear gas, wearing padding because they will hit you with rubber bullets, be rational becuase they are targeting "leaders". Do not have leaders.

We must protect ourselves.

Miami did happen, and we need your help. There has been a media blackout here in the States. We need to media to report it in order for this to change.

Please contact your embassy. Express concern over the banana republic of teh states. Ask for them to free the political prisoners being held and tortured in Miami today.

Make the whole world watch!!!

Jeremy Scahill (reporter for DemocracyNow!) talks about the police assault on the protestors and how the Black Bloc was restrained, how "journalists" were embedded with the police and how the union activists applauded the cops.

Read it and draw the necessary lessons.
