August 10, 2008 was the National Day of Action Against Electoral Politics protesting the circus of our sham democracy. In this vid you get to see first hand the "Freedom Cages" that are placed out of the range of the Pepsi Center where if you relinquish your Fourth Amendment rights, and get searched, you can exercise your First Amendment rights-- "within reason". In other words, out of sight and earshot of the convention and mainstream media.
In my experience these "Free Speech Zones" are generally a corral where you are surrounded by riot cops with masks, tasers, pepper spray, and rubber bullets. You won't find me here...the Denver Police has received a $50 Million federal subsidy for the conventions, $18 Million of which has been spent on "less than lethal" weapons to be used on those who would exercise their First Amendment rights. This frames the rhetoric of justification to quell dissent, essentially criminalizing the exercise of our constitutional rights.
When the mainstream media shows people in a cage surrounded by cops, they are seen as criminals and naer-do-wells, even if they are law abiding citizens. This keeps others who would speak out from opening their mouths for fear of being arrested, or beat up, or shot, or gassed, or tazed. All of which I am sure WILL HAPPEN! Hopefully not to me.... we'll see.
if I do disappear, look for me at "Gitmo on the Platte".

Kids' Village Attacked by Police at Rainbow Gathering
download this clip!
On July 3d at the Rainbow Family Gathering federal officers attacked the family in the "Kiddie Village" during supper time, when there were lots of people, many of them little children, gathered to eat. The Law Enforcement Officers (LEO's) opened fire on the crowd using pepper balls, tasers, and rubber bullets. Many were injured including children. Read more here.
Ironically, while the Forest Circus has been operating at record deficit, they spent $600,000 on brand new shiny tasers last year. Incredible because these officers have almost NO training in crowd control, and certainly could not use the devices on bears and cougars and hunters and shit.

the skinny: refueling
(Download this video)
Hooray! Three weeks and ten pounds later we've pulled out of the quagmire that is Appalachia! It is great to get back on the road!
We collected a full 150 gallons of waste vegetable oil in Charleston, WV. It went really smoothly. I am pretty good at bridging the language barrier, and Flux can back the bus into some pretty tight places. We were able to get about fifty gallons from a sweet little Indian restaurant using our new oil pump/filtration system. It took about an hour and a half to get the fifty gallons, but with diesel at almost $5/gallon, it is totally worth smelling like samosas.
We hit the road the next day (after the cat decided to come back) and drove to Xinia Ohio. We wanted to go further, but since we got a late start we decided to stop, and it was good that we did! Let me tell you, in the Midwest when they say severe thunderstorms, they are not kidding. Within an hour it was raining sideways, thunder and lightning, 3/4 inch hail... Scared the hell out of me, and I insisted that we park right up next to this little gas station building under the awning. It stormed til about 4:30am and we moved the bus so they could open their business up in the morning.
Today we drove across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois (the land of my forefathers)and ended up in Iowa at the welcome center, where I almost burned the bus down trying to make pasta on a sterno cookstove. Good news is we finally ate, and now it's time to settle in and get ready to collect more oil tomorrow. There is more severe weather headed our way tomorrow night and Monday, and we need to be full up with WVO by the time we leave Omaha into Lakotah Nation, where the pickins' will likely be slim!
