NATO Generals Meet in Canada, and Who's Gonna Meet 'EmThere?

Infiltrate their march with "Waco Massacre" and "Remember Ruby Ridge" signs, then check out their reaction.

Just don't get caught with rocks in your hand on video, right?  :)
 
I don't know if it was the rocks in the hand or the wearing of the S du Q issue boots that got them busted, but I think it was the issued boots.
 
Did the Taliban have a huge tank force before 2001 that required the US to use DU penetrators?  I am on the Out of A-stan site, and it seems that there are very gruesome pictures of young children that have been diagnosed with DU suffering.  Not to try and out these people as unfounded fruit pops, but where did they DU come from?  Was it ricochet from Gulf War 1? 

Also, the huge reserves of gas and oil that they appear to have, from their site, is listed as 95 million barrels of recoverable crude oil, I can totally see why the US would spend 6 plus years there now, for less than 4-8 days of its actual daily oil requirment.  Makes perfect sense...
 
I'm sure they have some sort of International War Munitions Tribunal with all the facts ready to prove their allegations...
 
Sounds like a job for Protest Warrior!

How does a visual examination confirm whether someone suffers from ingestion of DU?  The main problem with DU is that it is a heavy metal which is retained by the body.  If the finger is to be pointed at DU, I presume there are lab results to back it up.  Not every unexplained illness in the mideast is caused by DU.

I want their Book: Field Guide to Left-Wing Wackos.
 
Ha!  I like their attitude.  They've got some pretty funny stuff!  Have to remember that page for next time we get an anarchist on here...

- Did the Russians use DU in Afghanistan?  Maybe it was them.

- Dude, you miss the point completely:  It ain't the oil, it's the PIPELINE!  Imagine the construction and the security contracts on that sucker!  Every superannuated and semi-ambulatory carbon life form with two weeks of military service will be lining up for a slice of the pie and asking each other how to spell words like "Operator", "Delta" and "Ninja".

;D
 
So, does anyone have any idea how many protesters actually showed up?

I tried to catch something on the news but - no joy.

On CBC radio a reporter made it sound like a real mob.

Enquiring minds want to know.......

Later..........One report on MILNEWS uses the number of about 300.
Not the huge protest it sounded like on CBC radio.

 
I worked in the hotel for this although I was on the nightshift so I missed the big protest.  Dayshift workers said about one hundred protesters were there, and only one guy who was riding his bike naked got arrested.  Very much over-hyped.

- Wasn't one of you night-shift guys going home, was it?

;D

Did he ever have a huge staff.

Well, I am living only a stone's throw from where it happened, I can assure you that it certainly wasn't the huge protest the news reports made it out to be.  Although I was working that day elsewhere, I was able to take a quick swing home to grab some swag, which always leads me around that way.  Here is a map for reference:



For those who haven't been to those parts, the large building is the BC legislature.  To the left across the road is a fountain, then the hotel where the Generals met.  From what I saw, a small mob was around the war memorial at the corner of Belleville and Government.  I felt it was on the 200's scale myself.  In addition, you had a dozen walking protesters that kept a low key across the hotel.  All in all, it was much more peaceful than the recent flood of tourists we've had just a couple weeks back:  Getting down on the roads on that part, even by bicycle became quite the nightmare! 

Hope this piques some curiosity.
 
Protesters take on NATO generals

High-level meetings inside Hotel Grand Pacific attract 200 for noon rally
Louise Dickson, with files from Richard Watts, Times Colonist
Published: Sunday, September 09, 2007
Despite police fences surrounding the Hotel Grand Pacific, 200 noisy protesters managed to deliver a document to NATO officials yesterday accusing its generals of war crimes, crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity.

The notice of summons "charged" North Atlantic Treaty Organization military committee members meeting inside the hotel with 36 counts of International Criminal Court crimes.

Lt.-Col. Tony White, a NATO public information officer, said he had received and read the summons and will pass it to NATO's legal team in Brussels when he returns in a few days.

"It will not be ignored," said White. "I read it was alleging war crimes in Yugoslavia. It would take a legal expert to give an opinion on it."

Protesters had earlier warned they would fight back if police tried to remove them from outside the hotel, but in the end, only one man was picked up by police -- a protester riding his bike naked, towing two Scottish terriers in a yellow trailer.

A protestor riding his bike naked ...

now that says it all.  ::)
 
Oh god, could they not atleast make a decent and professional, excuse my language, public bitching if they want NATO to take notice of them? Not to mention take them seriously!
I'm bloody well sick of these people complaining about war crimes this and that, when they show up in hordes of uncivilized idiocy like that.
Bloody hell.
