Yeah, this already exists on a local level. Here is another example: http://www.activistsandiego.org.

There is proly too much going on to create a viable resource on a larger regional scale, as the editorial work just marking up and posting would require full time work. There is also the issue of editorial discretion... what to include and what to exclude... that becomes more problematic as things are scaled up.

Every activist group is going to have their own email list, listservs, and maybe even be in print. Pretty much every activist group is going to have allies. My advice is to (a) search locally for groups, (b) pick one you like, and get on their listserv, (c) peruse their list of allies, if you like any of them, get on their listservs too. At that point you'll have way more activities you'd like to attend than you'll ever have time to actually go to.

This past weekend saw millions of women around the world take to the streets in protest of the hateful and demeaning attitudes that have come to defy America’s new president. The scene was especially impressive in Washington, DC, where upwards of 500,000 people marched on the National Mall. A similarly large protest is scheduled for September, but those marching won’t be wearing pussy hats. Instead, face paint will be the fashion du jour, because Juggalos!

Yes, Insane Clown Posse’s cult of degenerate fans will descend on Washington on September 16th to protest the FBI’s decision to classify the Juggalos as a gang.


The Million Juggalo March were first announced last summer, and ICP is moving forward with its plans after losing a civil suit against the FBI.

Trump Didn’t Just Reinstate the Global Gag Rule. He Massively Expanded It.
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...it_seemed.html
Quote:
On Monday morning, Donald Trump, surrounded by a group of smiling white men, signed an executive order banning foreign nongovernmental organizations that receive certain kinds of American aid from counseling health clients about abortion or advocating for abortion law liberalization. Supporters of international reproductive rights were disappointed but not surprised. Ronald Reagan first issued the so-called Mexico City policy in 1984, stripping U.S. family planning funds from groups involved with abortion, and ever since, every Republican president has reinstated it. By Monday’s end, however, people who work on global reproductive health and rights were reeling. Trump, it eventually emerged, hadn’t simply revived the so-called global gag rule. Quietly, with so little publicity that activists weren’t aware until someone saw the new language in a tweeted image, Trump had massively expanded the rule. Suzanne Ehlers, president and CEO of the global reproductive health organization PAI, says it’s the global gag rule “on steroids.”

In the past, the global gag rule meant that foreign NGOs must disavow any involvement with abortion in order to receive U.S. family planning funding. Trump’s version of the global gag rule expands the policy to all global health funding. According to Ehlers, the new rule means that rather than impacting $600 million in U.S. foreign aid, the global gag rule will affect $9.5 billion. Organizations working on AIDS, malaria, or maternal and child health will have to make sure that none of their programs involves so much as an abortion referral. Geeta Rao Gupta, a senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation who previously served as deputy executive director of UNICEF, gives the example of HIV/AIDS clinics that get U.S. funding to provide antiretrovirals: “If they’re giving advice to women on what to do if they’re pregnant and HIV positive, giving them all the options that exist, they cannot now receive money from the U.S.”

“I would not necessarily be surprised if it were a reaction to the women’s marches.”
Scott Evertz, director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy under George W. Bush.

The above is PHX on Mayday '01. These FWs are relatively noobs. The GOAT ILWU Drill Team have been at this shiz for over 50 years...



I can't emphasis how import it is to have fun, and for these events to be fun. To build a movement, you need peeps to come back. Peeps who don't have fun are much less likely to do so. Even more important is the means are the ends. The time spent living in community is much more important than whatever short term goal your community is struggling towards. As E.Goldman is often not quite correctly quoted as saying...

You know abortion was legal, common, not a moral issue up to the quickening (when you can feel movement), not even opposed by the Catholic Church up until the late 19th century and those laws in the US weren't really enforced until about 1930.

The whole of US history really only has about 40 years of anti-abortion prosecution.

Conservative Forum posting tactics.
Be aware of each of these tactics and don't fall into their traps. Use their own tactics against them when you can but mostly I have found it best to not engage. Post quick factual links disproving their "position", if they have one, which they usually don't. Otherwise disengage from them completely and continue posting logical rational arguments aimed at moderates, conservatives, and liberals. We own all the philosophical ground except for fascism now so we need to remember that and be aggressive about it. There is nothing conservative about this new Republican party and we can point that out in plenty of ways.

TACTICS FOR EFFECTIVE CONSERVATIVE BLOGGING By Karl Rove

Engage

Demand an elaborate, time-consuming comparison / analysis between your position and theirs.

Entangle

Insist that the Liberal put their posts in their own words. That will consume the most time and effort for the Liberal poster

They will be unable to spread numerous points on numerous blogs if you have them occupied. Allowing a Liberal to post a web link is too quick and efficient for them. Tie them up. We are going for delay of game here. Demoralize Dismiss their narrative as rubbish immediately.

Do not even read it. Once the Liberal goes through the trouble to research, gather, collate, compose and write their narrative your job is to discredit it. Make it obvious you tossed their labor-intensive narrative aside like garbage. This will have the effect of demoralizing the Liberal poster.

It will make them unwilling to expend the effort again, and for us, that is a net win


Attack

Attack the source. Any Liberal website or information source must be marginalized, trivialized and discounted. Let the blogosphere know that Truthout.org, thinkprogress.org,
the nation and moveon.org are Liberal rubbish propaganda. Discredit Liberal sources of information whenever possible.

Confuse

Challenge the Liberal position with questions, always questions. The questions need not be relevant. The goal is to knock the Liberal poster off their game, and seize control of the narrative

Once you have control you can direct the narrative to where you want it to go, which is always away from letting the Liberal make their point. Conversely, do not respond to their leading questions. Don't rise to their bait. Contain Your job is to prevent the presentation and spread of Liberal viewpoints.

Do anything you must do to prevent a Liberal poster from presenting a well-reasoned argument or starting a civil discussion.

Don't allow a Liberal to present their dogma unchallenged EVER. Intimidate Taunt the Liberals.

If you find yourself in a debate with a Liberal where you are losing a fact-based argument
then call them a name to derail their diatribe. Remember your goal is toprevent a meaningful exchange of views and ideas which may portray Liberalism in a positive light.

Your goal as a conservative blogger is to stop the spread and advance of the Liberal agenda. Play upon any identifiable idiosyncrasies, character flaws, physical traits, names, to their disadvantage


Monitor

other posts for vulnerabilities you can exploit. Stay on the offensive with Liberal wimps. Don't let up. Insult their Movement Assign as many character and moral flaws toLiberals as you can. You must portray Liberals as weak, vacillating, indecisive, amoral, baby killers, unpatriotic, effete snobs, elitists, Leftists, Commies, sense of entitlement, promiscuous, union lovers, tax raisers, Welfare Queens, Socialists, lazy, sex-obsessed, druggies, Jesus haters, moochers, troop hater,.etc. Always use these negative epithets when referring to, or describing Liberals / democrats.


Deceive

Identify yourself as a moderate, centrist or independent. It will also cause Liberals to lower their guard a bit, which gives you an effective opening. This may also have the effect of aligning conservative viewpoints with the real moderates we are attempting to reach.

It may serve to influence some moderates over to the Republican side. Patriotism Always claim the high ground of pro-military, low taxes, strong defense, morality and religion. We own those virtues. Learn how to exploit them when debating


Demean

Always refer to the other side as Liberals, Lefty Liberals, Libbies. Never assign them the status of a bona-fide political party. Hang Liberalism around their neck like a burning tire. Make Liberalism appear as a moral turpitude or a character flaw. They are NEVER, NEVER to be referred to as the Democratic Party. At best it is the democrat party. Never assign them respect


Opportunity

Be alert for ways to insert our catch phrases into your narrative. You will receive your daily list of talking points and topics that we want you to cover. Consistent, persistent repetition and inculcation will drive our talking points home and so will neuro-linguistic programming. Stick with it and our talking points will become truth. If they debunk your talking point, ignore it, and move on as if you didn't hear it.

Or possibly to get us to a point where we don't believe facts can exist or be knowable

LIKE

There are counter-tactics, but I don't have the time or inclination to explain them right now. It's mostly explained in the COIN manual, or rhetorical philosophy. Just not applied to social media. But it works, over time. Just not at any specific person. Use the counter-tactics in the right forum though.

Something like Nussbaum meets Petraeus with emojis.

Lawfully chosen president or for killing unborns?

Trump made pro big government people believe in the constitution over night, especially the 2nd amendment. That is an achievement itself.

Bad argument. This used to be a forum of rational people, not of emotional ones who can't argue.

where were you when Obama won?

Primetime propaganda. Did you go there?

Benjamin Franklin's suggestion for the Great Seal of the United States included the phrase "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."


So dare the Tyrant to make the first moves...and define themselves.


It is possible to start global unrest and bring economy to a halt if millions decided to block highways and airports and ports and power generation centers and you name it.

You either lead as a person worthy of the position or face the rage of millions.

Blocking the economy and blocking freedom of movement will serve only to hasten support for militarization against dissent

No it wont. It will instead cause the army and police to join forces with the protesters. Exactly as it has to happen in tyranny if it is a true tyranny!

It will cause the millions to become dozens of millions also.


If 65-70% of the population disapprove the so called "president" eventually then it is entirely easy to have the rest of the politicians take action also.

There is a difference between voting Republican because you didn't want Hillary and another story altogether to have to endure a terrible choice that becomes evident to be such over time. His true support is not even 25% of the population given enough stress due to bad actions.


If the ancestors were able to have revolutions so should we if the times demand it!
01-27-2017 , 05:30 AM
Ok, maybe at some point that's true, but it's after a shift that would have already removed the current administration.

Militarized cops already remove those blocking highways, and they are cheered on.
