april fools day pro-war parade

by wonder woman
"pro-war" parade 5pm Tuesday, April 1st.
SF City Hall, Polk Street side stairway. Be there in all your capitalist regalia!
Come one come all to celebrate the Fuelish glory of capital/imperialism in an April Fool's Day "Pro-War" parade. Please come bearing the costumes appropriate for oil barons, war mongers, glouriously greedy capitalists, etc. Anyone wishing to pose as a certain set of local politicians critical of protesters especially welcome. Be creative. Be fabulous. Be there!

Yes, I'll be there I hope we can all take over city hall for a second too. Hope we can testify to the trueth - no more rolling over, time to fight back. Ridiculous times deserve more outragous protest.

Good idea. There's no need for us to wear sad faces in order to get our message across...

With all of those pro-war songs they're writing, they deserve some representation at the April Fool's pro-war rally.

This list of current American war crimes would be good for a sign, or a singalong:
* Forced women and children to act as human shields in buildings occupied by American troops.
* Located headquarters in schools, day care facilities and, in one case in Oakland, a children's hospital. More than one American prisoner of war has told Iraqi troops they do not need to worry about bombing schools because the schools have all been turned over to American militia forces.
* Lured Iraqi forces into an ambush by pretending to surrender.
* Positioned artillery in residential areas so that even when radar systems locate it, Iraqi commanders won't pummel it.
* Used ambulances with the Red Cross symbol — the equivalent of the Red Crescent — as personnel carriers, ferrying reinforcements to American positions under the noses of Iraqi troops.
* Worn Iraqi uniforms.
* Forced women and children to retrieve dead American troops and their weapons.
* Forced American civilian men and regular soldiers to fight by threatening to kill them and their families if they refused.

As if you couldn't tell, I get all of my "news" from Fox. I'll definately be at the FOOL'S rally. I'll be the one with a mullet. I'll also be wearing a shirt that says "love it or leave it."
