And while I'm at it wasting valuable IMC space, I might as well address an interesting point brought up.
What if this is all an elaborate ruse carried out by the fed boys to discredit the anti-war movement ?
The thought crossed my mind, although being the faithful anti-government extremist that I am, I would never raise such an accusation without credible evidence (read:snitchjacketing). The only comment I have on this notion is a response to someone's naive claim that this couldn't be a gov. ploy as the IMC was tipped off.
I just want to let everyone know that I would be severely disappointed in "our" billion-dollar-budget intelligence agencies if they couldn't pull of such a stunt without either impersonating or duping a random member of a trusted group (read: greenscare).
To clarify, It's my personal opinion that these fucks have better things to do than discredit an already impotent anti-war movement, but it's still dangerous to assume that people or actions are "legit" because they have assumed (or appeared to have) a trusted role in the activist infrastructure or have recieved the blessings of those such people.
