I've heard that there is a planned anti-war rally March 15th 2008 in Keene from 10 am to Noon.
I don't know who is organizing it; I was contacted about possibly speaking on behalf of Iraq Veterans Against the War. I'll post more about it when I find out.
New Hampshire Peace Action may show it on their calendar: nhpeaceaction.org
Apparently there is also one planned in Concord for the afternoon.
Yes, they had it:
(http://www.nhpeaceaction.org/images/stories/March15_Header.jpg)
Concord:
March and Rally beginning at 1:30 at the parking lot at 6 Loudon Road, marching to the State House for a rally at 2:30. We are calling for the US to get out of Iraq now, no military strikes on Iran or Pakistan and funding for human needs at home and abroad. Speakers will include Iraq war veteran, Will Hopkins as well as music and poetry.

Keene:
Peace March and Rally to mark the 5th anniversary of the unjustified invasion of Iraq, and 5 years of a bloody, costly, and counter-productive occupation. Assemble at 10:00 am at the Main Street entrance to Keene State College for the procession to Central Square and the rally from 11:00 to noon. A strong showing will our let our leaders know that, despite the pressures of everyday living, real people have not forgotten this extended conflict, and we want our troops withdrawn swiftly and safely. For more information, contact Chris Hansen: 603-835-6190, marcuschristian@hotmail.com.

Thanks for the info Kat. :)

You havent been to a rally where tanks and black dressed Swat teams are all over the place?
Kola
No. But then, I don't go marching in NY or DC either.

No. This is a small rally of probably a hundred people. America isn't that bad yet.
Also, by tanks I suspect you mean armored personnel carriers. There is a difference.
I guess they were just taking the tank for a spin around the block:

more tanks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBp3fqKP7Y4
The first video is a Stryker armored combat vehicle.
(http://www.army-technology.com/projects/stryker/images/stryker_6.jpg)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stryker)
They could have just been driving by, from base to base. It isn't unusual to see Army vehicles on the road when you live near a base. It is rather coincidental, but they weren't engaging the protesters.
The second video was shit, so it's hard to tell. I only saw a couple of armored vehicles. Mostly fucking pigs beating people in LA. Not bloody likely to happen here in March.
This is a tank.

QuoteA tank is a tracked armoured combat vehicle designed to engage enemies head-on, using direct and indirect fire from a large-calibre gun and supporting fire from machine guns.
Sorry, but I have to nit-pick military stuff and monumental paranoia.
I will be out of town for a talk radio convention, unfortunately. If Puke speaks, I hope someone records it on video.

Wear your V masks.
The rally sounds good, except for the part about spending money at home on "human needs." What crap; too bad the leftists have to co-opt a good thing like a peace march with a call for more force at home via taxation.

it's at 6pm on the same day. what sort of info should i gather? i could probably get in contact with some of obama/hillary hippies that i'm sure are involved hehe.
exactly .... details and who will be there and the camaraderie you will share will help get more guys out.
besides I am throwing down the gauntlet ... you seacoast porcs cannot compete with the gang in Keene. We will have way more people show up and will have great photos to share ... now prove me wrong .... and I am talking to you Dalewannabebert :pirate"

well then you might as well just keep posting the info here
can you show up a picture of the spot ahead of time? I can add it to the article. The more connections to the real world helps.
Where will you go afterwards for debriefing and refreshment?

What should you all do? Whatever you want I guess.
Spoken like a true libertarian. :)
so ... where do we meet what do you guys want to do?
I'm going to go to the march at ten which starts at the entrance arch to KSC.
Sometime after that I'll give my speech. There is a planning meeting Tuesday that I plan to go to.
While we are on it, anyone have any good ideas for what I should talk about?
Or a good website with statistics about the war?
I heard today that the war is costing about 12 billion a month! Holy fuck!

I just wanted to say I think it is great that you made a public speech... 8) Sir Puke
I wished I had seen it in person, I liked the transcript and thought it was well done. Posting the blog entree was timely and cool also.
Thanks for posting pictures Kat
BTW, for the paranoid let's-start-a-violent-revolution Kola: there were no cops at this event, much less tanks ::)

Yeah, it's amazing no one was killed or suppressed. I suspect the only armed person there might have been me. It was a cloudy day though so we weren't able to see how bad the chem-trails were. :laughing1:

Thank you. I'm glad I was given the opportunity and that I didn't fuck it up. Thanks to Lauren also for taping the event.
we put up an article
http://www.newhampshirefreepress.com/NHFreePress/?q=node/49
if anyone has something to add ... send it along.
I like putting articles on the Free Press website, because it easier for outsiders to access than all of these threads on the forum. We sent the link along to fellow peacenics in NH to use or add to. :)
That was a decent speech Puke .... especially for someone that doesn't relish public speaking.

lucky it didn't rain
Well done, Puke. Did you have any interesting conversations with people in the crowd?
Puke,
Your speech was marvelous. You put forth your experiences and viewpoint in a way which will make it difficult for all but the zealous supporters of the war to dismiss. This should resonate with so many who are unsure of their thoughts/feelings on Iraq, but are not sure how to express it without being labeled as hating the men and women who serve.
My dad (a veteran), is one of those. He doesn't trust the government on much of anything - drug war, meddling with the economy, foreign policy, personal privacy, losses of freedom, you name it. Iraq is the one subject he won't discuss.
I'm sending him your speech.
Interesting

Not really. Just some other veterans that thanked me and talked about military stuff.
No one debated me on my thoughts or anything like that. Probably b/c I didn't get too anti-gov on them. Just planting seeds with this one.
Nice job James.

paranoid Kola? :blush: yur close to coming off my christmas list! :-\
Anyway ;) It must have been a very small non-violent crowd...and no threat to the POLE-LEASE so they let you off easy.
Now, a "violent?" crowd has lots AND LOTS of people with megaphones, chanting, drumming and making a lot of good noise and energy. They are a THREAT to the POLE-LEASE. Many of these "violent?" crowds have paticipants over the age of 60. Many carry signs on wooden sticks which could be used in "violence". Some of these "violent" crowd protesters choose to lay in the street and refuse to move even when pepper sprayed. Wow, sounds very "violent". Some of these "violent" crowds do not acknowledge the presence of the POLE-LEASE (aka gestapo/ss agents). I have even seen some of these "violant" protestors carry water bottles and these could possibly use them to injure the POLE-LEASE.
These "violent?" revolution people want change but I beleive the large majority of them (if not all of them) are not blood thirsty...including myself.
OTOH maybe our forefathers knew what they were doing. :)
Vini Vidi Veci,,La Revolution!!!!
err..Ron Paul Revolution!!
ahhh..any REVOLUTION!!! (look up definiton for clarification)
but um.. me no want start a violent revolution, senorita Kat.
but me defends myself if needed.

Oops, I just watched Lauren's video. Forgot about that.
Anyway, great job, as always. I really like the images you placed over my little blurb about the military.
That's the kind of awful shit that happens, not the cool stuff shown in recruitment videos.
Puke, a week ago from saturday, I gave your card to a lady from the weekly anti war rally on the square, she really liked your speech. I believe she wanted to get a hold of you. She was shocked by the doomsday photogragy web address. ;D

Hmm...I'm surprised that some folks be "shocked" by it. I just thought the name sounded cool.
I also love the Bond type villains that always get ahold of the doomsday device. It cracks me up.
