I was on the NC State campus yesterday and a group called F.I.S.T. (a group aginst imperialism) was holding their Friday Honk for Peace demonstration (that they hold every Friday for peace until the troops come on). It was just reported on TV that the state GOP has called in the Joint Domestic Terrorism Taskforce against them. Now a peace demonstration is "terrorism"? Time to call the ACLU I guess.

3. we are going to have to do this on mass. They do not have the
time, personnel or funds to control all of us at the same time. Especially if it is week after week after week, in city after city after city. OR ARE WE ALREADY UNDER 'LOCK DOWN' AND JUST DON'T KNOW IT? Personally, if we are, I want to know.

4. What did you THINK the Patriot Act was for?
Not only can it define protest as terrorism, but it can STRIP THE CITIZENSHIP of the protester.

The Patriot Act is the Secret Police Act. It's the KGB Act.

5. Is there a link?
I'd like to share the information with some friends. Like others, we're trying to document this information so we can show our skeptical friends.

6. I found a link
The repub headquarters was vandalized after the election by Anarchists but the F.B.I. is now watching them (F.I.S.T.). They are mainly just college kids that are doing this every Friday until the troops come home. They have signs and hold them up so cars going down Hillborough St. in front of campus can see the signs and "honk" for peace. Should be interesting.http://rdu.news14.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=59355
