Iraq War / Chicago March, 2003

pro war and anti war demonstations are held together in Chicago March 22, 2003

blind patriotism pointing fingers bless the world bless our troops
old glory bombing run my generation not the solution
thin blue line peace now peace through victory corporate collusion
nationalism vs humanism bush and blair stop the war fly the flag

Hello, came across your photos via a search for good "demonstration" images. Great gallery! I especially love the close-ups: Corporate Collusion, Thin Blue Line and Blind Patriotism. Thanks for the inspiration, I hope to emulate these when Stop the FTAA comes to my city, if I can get close enough and stay safe! p.s. Your Chicago and Wisconsin photos are wonderful too!

Millions of people can protest for the war to stop for all eternity, but it won't keep the enemy from attacking me and my fellow soldiers overseas right now. Damn proud to defend my nation!

WHAT IS SARS BEING USED FOR?

April 29. SARS is being used as a classic diversionary OP.

This non-disease, that has re-shuffled already existing pneumonias and influenza and colds into a new category, comes at just the right time.

The war In Iraq is over. At least phase one. No one seems to know whether Saddam is alive. So far, every attempt to nail down WMDs has perished. Charges have been leveled that the US encouraged looting.

A priceless museum and a priceless library have been sacked. The history of the people in that country is being erased, always an ominous sign after a war.

There is the question of who is going to take over the political reins in Iraq. The always-fatuous idea of an imposed democracy there is sinking into a morass of a million Shi’ites versus surviving elements of the Ba’ath Party functionaries.

Demonstrations call for America to get out of Iraq.

Huge numbers of children are ill and dying.

The very real issue of the tons of depleted uranium in the country is being suppressed.

We are getting private reports that a number of US soldiers are sick already.

A lot of issues need to be swept under the carpet---and poof, along comes SARS. Whether or not its appearance was coordinated, up front, to coincide with these scandals and tragedies in Iraq, one thing is for sure. SARS has been used as a smokescreen to keep the global public diverted and in fear.

As usual, the press is unconscionable in its attitude of providing the images and the words to push public consciousness from one fear to another.

Over and over, we read reports about the ghost town of Toronto, and yet email after email from citizens there show the lie in that. Are we to mark this “error” down to sloppy coverage?

SARS=OP.

Thanks for your comments Andrew! If most of the people in this town could be counted on to vote just once, I'd be happy :)

You would think that after having voted four times apiece these people wouldn't have to go through this.
