 | March 19 - Troops Out Now!
March on Central Park in NYC!
Regional Demonstrations Across the U.S. & Worldwide
======================================
Tens of thousands protested the Inauguration of George W. Bush.
Thousands took to the streets of Washington, DC to protest
the inauguration of George W. Bush. The International
Action Center organized contingents from New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Raleigh, and
many other cities to participate in the demonstrations,
hand out literature, and distribute placards.
Thousands of people turned out to line the inaugural
parade route, despite attempts by the Bush Administration
to prohibit protesters from being present. For months, the
Bush Administration had been fighting to stage manage the
inauguration and present the facade of a united front in
support of the Bush agenda of global war, corporate greed,
and repression. The ANSWER Coalition won a significant
legal victory and obtained a permit to assemble directly
on the parade route. As a result, thousands of protesters
were able to gather at a rally near the beginning of the
parade route and many more lined up all along the parade
route. As Bush rode down Pennsylvania Avenue, he was
confronted by protesters holding signs all along the
route, many of which said "George Bush: Guilty of War
Crimes."
Unfortunately, many thousands more were stopped at
"security checkpoints," set up by the Bush Administration
in an attempt to minimize the impact and visibility of the
protests. However, the people engaged in spontaneous
protest at the check points, chanting, "George Bush -
Terrorist," and holding anti-war placards and banners.
In addition, thousands marched through the streets of
Washington DC, beginning at Malcolm X Park. This loud and
spirited demonstration, consisting largely of youth, was
organized by the DC Antiwar Network.
Militant youth, including members of FIST (Fight
Imperialism-Stand Together), participated in breakaway
marches despite police brutality, which included the use
of pepper spray, tasers, and clubs. One group of youth
eventually challenged the Bush Administration's tactics by
directly confronting the police at the massive fences
erected to keep protesters off of the parade route under
the pretense of security.
Many demonstrators at both locations carried signs
distributed by the Troops Out Now Coalition that said
"Troops Out Now - March 19 - Central Park!" and "End the
Occupation Now - Iraq, Palestine, & Everywhere."
Bush's Speech--a declaration of war on the world
His speech was an unabashedly aggressive pro-war threat on
the entire globe. His call to empire, veiled in words
like "freedom" and "liberty," delivered in what some
described in an "evangelical" or "messianic" tone,
asserted his divine right to intervene anywhere, anytime.
It did not mention any country by name--it was instead,
an open declaration of domination and endless war--a
campaign to globalize Abu-Ghraib.
The speech was seen around the globe as an ominous
beginning for Bush's second term. The British daily The
Guardian summed up world-wide concern in an editorial
under the headline "Fireworks in Washington, despair
around the world."
Bush's Inaugural address makes it clear, now more than
ever, that we have to continue to organize a unified mass
movement to struggle for justice. In his twenty-one
minute speech, he did not once mention the millions of
people who have lost their jobs under his Administration.
He did not mention the tens of millions who are without
healthcare. He made no promise to address the crises in
education, housing, or AIDS. He did not mention Iraq once,
even though 100,000 Iraqi people and nearly 1400 U.S.
troops have died because of his colonial war. He did not
mention any social programs, except for social security,
which he plans to turn over to be looted by his corporate
backers.
It is clear that the antiwar movement in the US has a
unique responsibility to confront and stop this drive for
global empire. Unity among all antiwar and progressive
forces is now more important than ever.
Next Step: March 19 - Central Park, and across the globe
The weekend of March 19-20 is the second anniversary of
the beginning of the U.S. "shock and awe" attack on Iraq.
Antiwar and progressive organizations worldwide have
called for protests on this weekend.
In the U.S., the Troops Out Now coalition has called for a
massive regional march on Central Park on March 19 to
demand the immediate, complete, and unconditional
withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq.
A few months ago, Mayor Bloomberg, the NYPD, and Bush told
us that we could not march to and rally in Central Park.
We do not accept this decision and are determined to
challenge it by assembling tens of thousands of people to
retake Central Park --our Park. The antiwar movement
cannot afford, and must never again agree to, this
infringement on our rights, especially in a city as
important as NYC.
In addition, there will be local and regional
demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta,
Washington DC, and throughout the country. There will
also be a major regional demonstration in Fayetteville,
North Carolina. Fayetteville is home to Fort Bragg, which
is the home base for the 82nd Airborne Division and many
of the Army's elite units. For more information on this
rally, see: http://www.mfso.org.

ABC News reported a headcount of between 600 and 1,000
demonstators. Why does the left always try to distort the truth about
their own protests?
For example, the November protest in Canada 30 November 2004
1812 hrs were almost nonexistant. The early anti-Bush demos, intended
also to draw thousands, drew only about 39 protestors, fewer than the
42 media employees assigned to the protest!
Anti war and anti Bush demonstrators are few and far between.
Is it any wonder that Bush won?
30 November 2004 1812 hrs
Early anti-Bush demos fizzle in Canada
OTTAWA : Hopes for early mass protests in the streets of Ottawa on the
eve of Tuesday's visit by US President George W. Bush fizzled out, as
journalists outnumbered demonstrators.
A loose coalition of groups opposed to just about everything Bush
supports had promised two demonstrations hours before Bush was due to
jet into Ottawa Tuesday aboard Air Force One.
The first demonstration -- of Palestinians and sympathisers of the
Palestinian cause opposed to Washington's support of Israel --
attracted less than 40 demonstrators.
According to a quick head count by journalists, the protest attracted
39 demonstrators, 42 journalists and television crew members and three
police officers.
A second, ostensibly larger, demonstration scheduled for the midst of
the evening rush hour -- was called by a group calling itself Students
Against Bush.
Nobody turned up. Further protests however were expected on Tuesday.
Efforts to contact protest organizers were unsuccessful, with the
phone numbers listed by organizers remaining unanswered.

Why does the right always believe the lies of media they control? They
should know how inaccurate and biased the reporting is, but most are too
ignorant to avoid becoming victims of the fascist rulers they themselves put
in office.

You were there to count them?
Don't believe what you don't see for yourself. The media LIES, LIES, and
LIES. And we KNOW who is in control of the media!
