some facts about the WEF protests

Did you know?

    This weekend in New York City:
  • 4,000 cops (in riot gear and undercover) as well as contingents of FBI, and Secret Service agents will be greeting tens of thousands of men, women and children who don't think that the wealthiest and most powerful 0.0000005% of humanity should make decisions that will affect 6 billion people behind closed doors and without accountability.
  • Cops will be protecting Gap and Starbucks locations throughout the city.
  • Cops will be enforcing an unconstitutional 1845 state law barring people in groups of 3 or more from wearing masks.
  • Some protestors are planning to wear the surgical masks which are commonly used by those who live or work near ground zero.
  • Protestors carrying signs and large puppets, sitting, chanting, singing, and dancing the tango will likely be attacked in assaults -- either unprovoked or triggered by undercover agents of the state -- by cops who have been training and threatening for weeks to brutalize innocent people, if dozens of anti-corporate demonstrations worldwide are a reliable indicator.
