THE SEATTLE WTO RIOTS
WERE ONLY THE PRACTICE COUP
TODAY IT BEGINS!
It appears as if the Seattle WTO was only a practice run for what starts today. A here-to-fore unknown group has put together -- in what we are to believe was a "two day" window -- massive protests all across the United States.
This kind of protest could NOT have been organized in a two day time period. This kind of massive, organized action has probably been in the works for years.
The following was written by Liz Michael --
It will be followed by the "official" webpage of the Protest Organizers --
The official webpage will be followed by a compilation of all the NGO and other non profit groups that took part in the Seattle WTO Protests. This compilation was put together by a Washington PR firm and was intended for its clients. Someone in their office leaked the report. RMNews talked with the author of the report and verified that it is accurate. The PR Firm has been labeled by the Anarchists, "The PR Firm of the New World Order!"

LEFTIST PROTESTS DESIGNED TO
UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE ELECTION
OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The next two Saturdays there are scheduled to be leftist protests, which I designed to be part of an overall media strategy to get Al Gore illegitimately installed as the 43rd President of the United States. Normally, I don't like to go to rallies. I don't like showings.
I don't really like these goofs who have nothing better to do than go to rallies. I'd rather be working. However, it has become clear to me that these rallies are very different.
These rallies are designed to directly undermine a legitimate election for President of the United States, and to undermine and eliminate the very republic itself. They are seeking to
influence the electors of the Electoral College to dishonor their vow to do their duty as the citizens elected them to. And as such, I believe they need to be met man per man, sign per sign, flag per flag. I believe we may well have two choices.
We can meet these liberal tools right here, right now, peacefully, and show the whole world, which may be watching, that we defend the duly elected President-elect of the United
States and the United States Constitution. Or we can allow these people to work their conspiracy to overturn an election, undermine the Constitution, install an illegitimate President whose federal agents we will have to fight violence against violence.
Perhaps, by meeting these individuals at these rallies, we can possibily help avert a civil war. Therefore, I am urging all people to read this letter, to show up at these rallies for a counter-demonstration against the "Counter Coup", as this entity is calling itself. I am additionally forwarding this list to the press, in the event they have not yet seen it. Their web site is
http://geocities.com/countercoup/.
A caveat I issue here. I won't want any of you to engage in violence against these people. However, I have been informed that certain demonstrations have riots planned in them. If
this is the case, and a rally turns violent, retreat, walk away and disperse. This is not the place to engage the enemies of freedom in battle. We may find ourselves with ample necessity to do that later on.
Even if you don't personally support George W. Bush or his government, I am still of the opinion that these leftist tools need to be met anyway.
In Liberty,

The nightmare has come true: A candidate has won the popular vote but lost the White House. Even worse, it looks like election fraud and error in Florida is responsible. There are two possibile solutions:
First, It is important to understand that the constitution DOES NOT require the electoral college to vote state-by-state using a "winner take all" system. It is perfectly constitutional for the electors to represent the popular vote. Bush should step down and ask electors to cast their vote for Gore. If the guy who got the most votes doesn't win, then IT ISN'T DEMOCRACY!
Of course we can't count on Bush to do that, therefore a revote should be held in Palm Beach County, where over 19,000 Gore voters' ballots were thrown away. Bush's lead in Florida is less than 2,000 votes.
We The People need to show the media and the parties that this will not stand. Below is a list of protest sites for this Saturday; this list is growing so check back if your city isn't here.
Make signs, show up, bring friends, call your local newspapers and TV stations, and demand ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE!
