Protest Group Shuts Down Bechtel World Headquarters in SF
Bechtel Murder for Profit to be Stopped
6/5/2003:
Several hundred protesters gathered at Bechtel headquarters in San Francisco at 7 AM Thursday and blockaded the entrances. While over a hundred police managed to open the building after a few hours, many Bechtel employees were told by their employer to take the day off.

It would be easier to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq these days than any shred of democracy. The U.S. has imposed a repressive occupation on the people of Iraq, where they shoot to kill at peaceful protesters and seek to destabilize any popular political group which gains support. Iraq is now a colonized land, with US-based corporations like San Francisco-based Bechtel leading the rape-for-profit charge. Many of the higher-ups at places like Bechtel are ex-military or somehow in bed with the Bush/Cheney cartel.
Friday, June 6: Shut down continues? Based on the successes of June 5th, independent groups have called for a return to Bechtel the next day.
