So interesting that the international mix of this gathering is so public.

But, I think it's bizarre if you read the whole post. I do NOT WANT my Tax Dollars going to this kind of thing that could be used against "Peaceful Protesters....

Why would any Democrat not see this as some kind of FASCIST LEANING kind of Exercise?

REPEAT: I DO NOT WANT MY TAX DOLLARS that I PAY...going to THIS!

Would YOU? Do YOU?

and miminal tax dollars flowing out of state.
Most certainly do not want to buy the bullets they shoot back at us and back at other innocent people globally.

I fear many people have not learned from history, however.

Where is your MORAL COMPASS on this?

I've thought better of you..that you had the concerns of the "Commons" over the "I Got Mine..you GET YOURS" view of our Civilization.

My moral compass is where it has always been, for over 6 decades....
So you are free to continue thinking better of me.

That's what I'm asking.

And what I was also saying was, I am glad that my life is at a point where I don't have to pay hardly anything in Federal taxes.

a small mater, to be sure, but it gives me some little bit of satisfaction.

YOUR Personal Footprint might now be small.....but, what about those Taxpayers who follow YOU...whose footprint might be footing this BILL to give funds to such a Heinous Group as my OP Describes.

The Top 1% Supports it......but it's gotta be the rest from our Puny (you say) or other Contributions from those of us still out there earning money and paying larger for nothing but WAR...WAR..and MIC...WAR MORE!

How do we STOP THIS? Protesting gets the MIC to come and Spray us or Lock us Up ...or Infiltrate our Efforts by Govt...

So...HOW do we protest against us that doesn't end up with us thrown in jail and losing our Jobs?

The PTB have anticipated such a reaction and have gone out of their way to send a message that they WILL use force against protestors.

Some people are choosing to react by organizing on the community level, focusing on local change.

Methnks it will take some time before things get so bad that the shoe pinches enough people who will be left with no choice but to demand change. Sorta the 100th monkey approach.

"Human Rights" looking ahead with the tactics of what is described in the OP:

THE LIST:
Monsanto, Fracking, Local Water Resource Destruction, Use of Drones here and abroad, More Wall Street Favoritism, Lack of Prosecution against Corporate Criminality, Spying on Americans, Gerrymandering of Voters in many stages, Privatization of our Schools, Privatization of our Cities Municipal Water, Sewer, Public Projects, 1% of Americans taking value/worth/income from the 99%, Increasing lack of Jobs and Mobility Upward for those under the 1%, Undermining of SS/Medicare in trade off for more Tax Breaks for Corporations, More money to the MIC even though we are supposedly exiting Afghanistan but we are moving into Africon for the next Decade, the Trade Deals with Europe and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and on and on and on.

It will be GOOD FOR US...we are told by our Democratic Party. We must believe this. Because if we don't....then we are Repug Evil Doers.

and surely all of us who remember Hitler and WWII should be concerned about this?

Why do we FORGET HISTORY... This is Fascism creeping on "silent cat paws" into our LIVES!

How could any Dem or Republican deal with allowing this kind of TRAINING to be DONE ..to be PAID FOR ...with our TAX DOLLARS to RAMBO against AMERICAN's PROTESTS against what they SEE AS WRONG!

How?

It is really difficult to read long blocks of text in bold font. Your posts usually give me a headache to the point of only reading a paragraph or two because the bright white background and bold letters just don't read very well. Add to that, it is in a sans serif font.

Might I suggest you do Excerpt tags to create a gray background and choose a serif font like Times New Roman if you must bold?

Thanks in advance.
