Prior to the actual event, on Olympic and 9th st. at 11am help staple signs, also if you’d like organize a carpool.

The base has for too long, prepared soldiers to invade their own countries in surrogate of our influence for counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, torture, assassinations, and stealth operations, or just to train for brutal crowd control policing against NAFTA/CAFTA/FTAA rejectors. Bob went to county jail for 3 days for expressing his beliefs, but if you commit to this task you may face 3-6 months in jail for climbing a fence or crossing the line at the base. There will be a teach-in for some 2500 students prior to the event. A bill to close army camp will force the training into the underground more pernicious, and unacceptable in contrast to crossing the Army lines. Camp is growing as Bob said in his post-Chiapas uprising ex: from 6-1000 soldiers. Fare possibly $300, plus hotel, or stay in Long Beach until event, or just wander around Georgia for a few hours before you become a radical. If in LB, possible opportunity for black mask peace vigil.

Jeb brought up UN Haiti murders, and I would like to remind everyone that the UN aid program for Hutu fugitives post Rwanda genocide at Goma camps in Zaire was disgusting.
