Exhausted from Occupying the streets of SF, attending every major protest in the city, and some of the smaller ones too, I was invited personally by Diamond Dave to attend his 76th birthday, I had to be there! We had a great time; there was poetry reading, live music, and friends everywhere. We marched from the Adobe book store to Revolution Café, singing and chanting all the way, things like “Happy Birthday” and “Who’s streets? Dave’s Streets!!.” I snapped off a bunch of pix for you to enjoy however, the videos from the book store and the march will be posted at a later time on my YouTube station #OccupySFTV (#OSFTV - http://www.youtube.com/OccupySFTV).

Local elements of Veterans for Peace and OVSF met up with the captain of the Rainbow Warrior, a customized, 190 foot sea going VESSEL OF BAD ASS currently moored in SF. The tour of the ship was awesome, but the conversations were what really drove the day. Part of the struggle we are engaged in has to do with getting veterans engaged in green political activity. We spoke about focused recruitment/hiring drives aimed at the veterans….FROM THE NAVY, FOR EXAMPLE. How we turn militarized skill sets into viable post deployment activism, and the need for vets to heal themselves through environmental/social stewardship after having witnessed firsthand the destruction of land, and the cost of human suffering long after “the battle is over”. I would like to remind the reader that 30 Greenpeace activists are currently being held in PRISON, in RUSSIA, on charges of …get this: “hooliganism”. You read that right, the same charges that got our sisters PUSSY RIOT sent to Siberia. Making ol’ Uncle Joe proud… The tour for the public is highly recommended, it is informative and inspiring. We at OVSF and our affiliates are committed to forging stronger, closer ties with all groups and individuals fighting for Global Justice… from the streets of Oakland to the rainforests of Indonesia, you can count on Independent Citizen Media and hard core Change Agents to bring you entertaining and informative material. What GP has been able to show the world is that after 40 years of dedicated effort to protect our planet and her inhabitants, the VOICE and the WILL of the people cannot be undermined by the Establishment, and that we will continue our efforts until the whole world is educated, liberated, and set free from the chains of oppression that “bind” us to a system that is CLEARLY out of order.

Title: Million Mask March START DATE: Tuesday November 05 TIME: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Location Details: Civic Center, San Francisco CA Event Type: Protest Greetings, people of California, and people throughout the world! On November 5th, we will be rallying at the Civic Center in San Francisco CA. Why are we protesting, you ask? Here is a list of many of the things we are protesting against... * The White House's continued attacks on 'whistleblowers'. * The NSA's illegal and unconstitutional spying on ALL American citizens. * The corrupt courts and unconstitutional rulings against us. * Our City, County, State, and Federal politicians creating unjust and unconstitutional taxes, laws, and fees against the people without any representation or regard for our rights and freedoms. * The continued arrests of the people for exercising our constitutional rights. * The detainment of political prisoners who risked everything to keep the American people informed, safe, and free. * The continued physical, verbal, and emotional abuse being brought upon the people by law enforcement personnel. * The use and expansion of the FBI, DHS, NSA, and other government agencies for the sole purpose of silencing free speech, and treating us like terrorists. * The use of the media to mislead us and divide the people into warring factions, or to keep the masses uninformed and blissfully ignorant of the truth about what is happening in the world around us. * The continuing wars that have no purpose except to keep the elite wealthy and powerful, while the rest of the world suffers from death, poverty, disease, famine, etc. * The corporate control of all aspects of our daily lives. * The constant poisoning of our food, water, and air. * The allowance of rapists, molesters, and pedophiles to harm our children, while innocents are treated like criminals. * The use of propaganda to spread fear, lies, and distrust among the people. * The continued mistreatment of indigenous people around the world and illegal occupations of tribal lands for the sake of global expansion and development. * The recent government shutdown without any regard for the well-being of the people. * The mistreatment of war veterans. * The allowance of rape culture and lack of any real justice in our courtrooms. * Lack of transparency within our government, and the illegal use of secret courts to detain and prosecute innocent civilians. This is, by far, not a complete list of the grievances we hold against our own government bodies, or the governments of other nations, but it shows a great and severe illness within our society. A global systemic failure that cannot continue. We will not allow these atrocities to be committed any longer! We are Anonymous! We are legion! We do not forgive! We do not forget! Expect us! http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/11/01/18745772.php If you like my work and would like to help support a truly free press and getting me to marches or other events for LIVE coverage giving you UNcut videos, and a contact “ON the street” I accept donations through WePay at - https://www.wepay.com/donations/independent-citizen-media Here are my other media links and social networks, please feel free to follow, join, subscribe for all my latest updates, videos and other news.

It has been a challenging few months and I feel very strong and optimistic about the direction my life has been taking. My struggle is nothing compared to what millions of people go through everyday in the struggle for safety, sanity and survival. That being said, I do encounter (particularly today) stupid little set backs like not having the correct cables for devices, or having a crashed hard drive, flat tires, my phone being hacked or running out of minutes, not being able to print literature and pamphlets because I am out of toner, and most recently, not being able to calibrate my dvd player to the video projector because of software issues. These things impede my march in small, frustrating ways, and I need to entreat you to help me by going to my weebly site and donating however much you can to my paypal, even if it is just 5 dollars, it may be the 5 bucks that gets me the cable I need, or to print the last 2 pages of a booklet. Also, I have run into some hitches with my food stamps, as I had to do a couple Intercounty Transfers of benefits due to going from SF to SD and back. What this means is that many times I am missing an appointment because I am on the road, or I have simply spent more than I should have feeding some pod of veterans I discovered living under a bridge. I desperately need money to reproduce art and literature. The film, Battlefield of the Mind, in which I have a major role, despite being a fantastic film and searing indictment of the establishments' manner of dealing with homeless veterans, is not the "cash cow" I thought it may have been. (theres still time, though!) The movie is an independent release currently being "shopped" to the festival circuit, and getting some good bites and great reviews. Bottom line, is nobody gets paid too soon for a labor of love such as Fran and I have devoted ourselves to. Please,please,please, at least check out my web site and consider donating whatever you can, even a couple bucks. Obligations come down the pike pretty fast, and I am going to San Luis Obispo this weekend to show the film at the Stand Down....my tech situation is all messed up, I need a bike lock, new boots, and the right cables for my devices, as well as food. I know times are hard, but many people pitching a little is a huge help. This is how we help eachother out here, everybody pitching in just a little bit to benefit all. "From each according to abilty, to each according to need". Heres the link to my site: http://occupyveteranssanfrancisco.weebly.com Thank you guys, so much for taking the time to read my little desperate plea.... |
