Something disturbing I heard on Rhandi's show
Sam Seder is filling in today and he was talking to a guy who had a blog and owned a coffee shop in Memphis. Bush was there recently and the guy said he got a call from a secret service agent. The agent told him not to put any signs in his window that is protesting. The agent claimed they didn't want to start any trouble up with the protestors. LOL. Yeah right. They just didn't want Bush to possibly see anything negative.
The guy said he talked to some other store owners and they all had phone calls too. The guy said what he did was he put a sign in the window as a message to the SS guy that said he was going to put a sign up because of the first ammendment and to come in and enjoy the coffee. Really telling isn't it? Welcome to facisim in the highest.

2. Do you remember the company name?
Sounds like a good place to go visit and have a cup of coffee.

15. Very useful guide to NOT support fascism
One man who has been tireless in his investigations and critiques of America’s slide into fascism is Michael C. Ruppert, whose postings usually read as though he is wound way too tight. But he offers four pieces of advice about what we can do now, and they seem reality-based enough to pass on to you. This is America; they’re all about money:

First, he says you should get out of debt.

Second is to spend your money and time on things that give you energy and provide you with useful information.

Third is to stop spending a penny with major banks, news media and corporations that feed you lies and leave you angry and exhausted.

And fourth is to learn how money works and use it like a (political) weapon — as he predicts the rest of the world will be doing against us. (from http://fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/110504_snap_out.shtml )

16. "Ah'm gonna letcha keep MORE of yer OWN MONEY!!!!"
Dr. Loehr said:
"...Here is some of what’s coming, what will be happening in our country in the next few years:

The theft of all social security funds, to be transferred to those who control money, and the increasing destitution of all those dependent on social security and social welfare programs..."

"To be transferred to those who control money..."

Like, Oh, who can it be, maybe.....

WALL STREET???????

Always telling the Sheeple he's going to "let" them keep their "own" money...And the dumbasses eat it up.

6. heard it too. This isn't the first time I heard of this either. I have
heard (from like a third hand account.) that it also happened where Bush was talking in New Jersey. The owner of the heard told a reporter friend she knew and he was told by the editor that if he-the reporter-wrote a story on it would not be published in the newspaper and could possibly be suspended.


It wouldn't surprise me though. By next year watch places be closed down if they have anything negative about the president in the window.

7. If this doesn't cure any Dem
I don't know what will.

I read on DU and hear people say they don't want to mess up their cars and they fear for themselves.

To hell with that.

This is your Constitution, people.

Hello, out there?

9. How long are they going to shelter this man boy?
This is truly revealing.

* obviously cannot handle any kind of dissent.

We've all seen how * morphed into a human amoeba during the presidential debates. * can't function, unless he's scripted and no one is questioning him. He's a dolt who lacks the intelligence and the creativity to handle anything but dutiful fans dressed in flag sweatshirts.

If I was the coffee shop owner--I would have plastered the entire front of my store with anti-Bush banners. Then, I would have invited over my favorite anti-Bush friends to stand outside and protest--with big, neon signs!!

Hey, anything to trigger the alarms and red lights on the rectangular box under *'s suit jacket!

14. Guy called back and said he spoke to a person from the secret service
who told the coffee shop owner that the secret serivce would not call someone and say that.

Watch it be a member of BUSHCO --like west wing worker making calls like this.

17. We had something like that
here in Germany when Bush was here some weeks ago. The German police broke into apartments situated on Bush's route through the city of Mainz where the inhabitants had banners in their windows saying things like "Not welcome, Mr. Bush!". If the inhabitants didn't immediately follow orders to remove the banners they got threatened by police officers saying "Ok then we'll send in those type of guys you can only see their eyes of, and that'll hurt."

Here's a link to the article reporting the incidents. It's unfortunately in German, but it's on one of our most respected newssites for news of this kind:

"Dann kommen die Jungs, wo man nur die Augen sieht"
