i was thinking today about how the protests followed by police brutality followed by documentation followed by lawsuits as a result of events like g8/g20 and how those in authority are becoming less and less afraid of the public they oppress… laws getting passed which criminalize the documentation of police… billions of tax payer dollars spent on security prior to these events… police/military worldwide becoming more ominous in the way they deal with protestors such as what the IDF did to the passengers on the Mavi Marmara…. what laws are left in favor of the people are quickly being overturned, we’re heading towards a very scary world!! i also would like to know if these global movements of resistance are thinking about how the actions which seemed to work in ’99 in seattle are far less effective today, if they are thinking about new effective and efficient strategies of resistance… we have to be highly intelligent, strategic, effective and efficient, even tho there is more of us, they have the bigger guns and are much more willing to pull them out on us!! we need peace and justice non-hierarchal collective think tanks!!
