"Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, speaking in an interview with the BBC casually mentioned that she was on a conference call with leaders of 18 US cities shortly before a wave of raids broke up Occupy Wall Street encampments across the country. “I was recently on a conference call with 18 cities across the country who had the same situation. . . .”

As we suspected all along, a nationwide effort by the 1% to destroy the First Amendment

[liberal N proud]

1. I don't think she was supposed to give that little tid-bit out

Oops!

[Lint Head]

2. This IS a conspiracy to suppress free speech!

[FSogol]

3. Trying to spread the blame for her actions around. How many of the 18 were Republican mayors?

:shrug:

[Ed Suspicious]

27. Doesn't much matter if they where an ass or an elephant pin when

the Democrat mayors are leading the way.

Mid Thread Rec!

Deserves to be a fresh OP.

:toast:

[Gregorian]

10. POST THIS IN NEW THEAD!

This is way too crucial to not have everyone see.

Thanks.

[AsahinaKimi]

11. I wonder if this will be enforced...

Unless there are some agressive attorneys.. I am having doubts.

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Good catch!

[No Elephants]

18. Very good Ian David, but do we really think the D of J will prosecute the Mayors?

Prosecution (and head injuries) are for protestors, not Mayors.

[EFerrari]

21. It was probably their idea.

[zalinda]

20. Someone needs to send this to OWS lawyers. n/t

[sakabatou]

28. +1

[indepat]

33. Surely the FEDS will hop right on any suspected conspiracy to interfere with civil rights like ugly

on an ape. :patriot:

[No Elephants]

6. I KNEW it. They all had the same stench, from Boston to Oakland, from sea to polluted sea.

[Lint Head]

7. I'm trying to call all news sources I can to ask why this is not reported.

[SoapBox]

9. Oh...My...GAWD!

I was posting this, as my personal "conspiracy theory"...

And now, we find that it's TRUE!

Oh...MY...GAWD!

Take back America 99%er's.

12. Racketeering?

Can the ACLU take this on as one would a racketeering crime?

[UnrepentantLiberal]

13. They know if the MSM doesn't report it they can do as they please.

This is very wrong.

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, azureblue.

[Bozita]

15. Bigtime!

[randome]

17. People were complaining that the police did NOT share info with other cities.

Like Portland's peaceful removal of protesters.

Now when they DO talk to one another, it's clearly a conspiracy.

Sigh.

(In training for 3 days, sorry for the post-and-run.)

[quakerboy]

32. Portlands somewhat almost peaceful removal of protestors

It was not an unmarred success. There were injuries to protestors, despite official proclamations to the contrary.

[Arctic Dave]

19. K&R

Seems we were not "tinfoil wearers" about this.

[lovuian]

22. Yes the New World Order at work with our tax dollars

circumventing the right to protest and our constitutional rights

this network was set up by FEMA

they have been predicting eventual riots
this is there strategy

[bertman]

30. FEMA? Or Homeland Insecurity? Our local police chief apparently admitted that he had been

conversing with HS officials before our local SEAL team, I mean SWAT team, I mean TACTICAL SQUAD, I mean cops in military uniforms with military-style rifles and tactics arrested a bunch of anarchist squatters who had shown no intent and made no threats of violence.

The militarization of our police continues unabated.

Reminds me of what happened in a European country with a strong militaristic bent--oh about 70 or so years ago. But, hey, that's ancient history.

REC.

[LiberalFighter]

23. We need a conspiracty to remove these mayors from office permanently

and any other office they seek.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Each of the cities involved with illegal removals and suppression of free speech

need to focus on the cost of using illegal law enforcement resources and tactics.

[tcaudilllg]

25. We're in the midst of a civil war.

[cstanleytech]

26. "nationwide effort by the 1% to destroy the First Amendment" I'm not so sure.

Its only logical that they would hold a meeting regarding an issue that they are all dealing with, now if of course there was a recording of the meeting that proved that they were trying to destroy the first amendment that claim might actually have legs.

[geardaddy]

29. Is there a list of the mayors?

[RoccoR5955]

31. You know, it was going through my head too

I was wondering why all these encampments were being uprooted.
It has to be coming from way up at the top. It's not just one mayor. Someone is orchestrating them to do this.
Could it be????? Nah? Maybe!

I wonder just how far up the chain of command it goes. Could it go all the way up to the top? Could it have been ordered by our Commander In Chief? Who knows? Could it have been done by the corporatists who actually pull the strings? Probably. Will we find out? Unlikely. Will I stop sounding like that dope Rummysfeld? For sure!

Just my ramblings.

[Javaman]

34. This is rich!

so folks, what more do you need to show we are being lead into a fascist state?

collustion by city leaders and across the globe(http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/oct/17/occupy-protests-world-list-map?INTCMP=SRCH)to limit rights of the citizens of the US and the world.

as I stated in another post, if there was any doubt what so ever as to a small group of corps/rich people who control things in the world, this should put it to rest.

[blindpig]

35. Well, that's what our government is for, to protect the capitalists.

You think they throw all that money around as a civic duty?
