ILWU Local 10 hall in the Henry Schmidt room, this is the longshoreman union hall in SF

Planning Massive demonstration before the sentencing ---- Local 10 has called for a labor and community rally to demand justice for Oscar Grant. The rally is to be held at Oakland City Hall. We're discussing the date but it looks like it will be Saturday October 23 to give us enough time to organize a massive demonstration before the sentencing of killer cop Mehserle. Our union's call is to "jail killer cops". The rally is open to all labor and community groups that want to see justice... for Oscar Grant and to oppose this racist justice system. Please be at the ILWU Local 10 hall in the Henry Schmidt room at 7PM on Tuesday July 27. This is the first organizing meeting so it's important we have all groups concerned with social justice and workers rights present. Let's start the ball rolling now to build a mass demonstration of labor and community groups. An injury to one is an injury to all!

ANARCHO SYNDICALIST STAR--------------------------------

NO MORE POLICE!

WE NEED A SELF GOVERNING ALLIANCE/RESISTANCE MOVEMENT THAT DOES NOT ANSWER TO THE STATE, POLICE, OR CITY PERMIT LAWS. THESE ARE OUR STREETS. FREEDOM CAN NOT BE GRANTED MY SON. IT HAS TO BE FOUGHT FOR. THAT IS HOW WE BRING ANTI-AUTHORITARIANS AND LABOR PEOPLE BACK TOGETHER AGAIN TO FORM A STRONG MOVEMENT LIKE IN THE 1930's and 1940's WHEN WE WERE A THREAT TO COPS AND AT THE SAME TIME CAPITALIST SOCIAL RELATIONS. WE WERE NOTHING TO BE MESSED WITH IN THOSE DAYS.

IF WE CAN GET THE GOVERNMENT TO COMPLY TO US RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND WE WILL HAVE THE NECESSARY SUPPORT AND COOPERATION FROM THE MASSES WHEN WE DECIDE WE WANT TO SEVER OUR TIES WITH ALL STATE CONTROL AND PRIVATE MANAGEMENT.

A STRONG ANARCHO SYNDICALIST MOVEMENT WOULD BE JUST THE RIGHT PICK TO DEAL WITH THESE OUT OF CONTROL COPS WHO ARE DRUNK ON POWER AND ALL THE FUCK'T UP BANKERS, CEO'S & CAPITALISTS POLICE ARE THERE TO SERVE ABOVE US ALL.

LET US NO LONGER NEGOTIATE WITH OUR OPPRESSORS!

TOGETHER WE CAN SET THE STANDARD, WITH OUT SLAVE MASTERS & WITH OUT WAGE SLAVES.

MIND YOU, YOU CAN'T HAVE A FULL ON EGALITARIAN SOCIETY IN THIS CLIMATE WITH OUT A REVOLUTION.

NOT ONLY IS A PEOPLES REVOLUTION NEEDED TO FREE HUMANITY FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE ALL POWERFUL SYSTEM IT SELF BUT A REVOLUTION OF YOUR MIND AND THINKING OS ALSO NEEDED. A TOTAL REVERSAL OF THE WAY WE THINK AS OBEDIENT SLAVES TO CAPITALISM AND AUTHORITY MUST BE DONE; A TRANSFORMATION OF THINKING, RETHINKING ONES RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY IS KEY COMPONENT IN CARRYING OUT A NEW SOCIAL REVOLUTION.

WE MUST THINK OUT SIDE THE BOX AND BREAK OUR MENTAL CHAINS, OUR FEAR OF THE STATE. ALL SYSTEMS OF HIERARCHY AND SOCIAL CONTROL MUST BE COLLECTIVELY BROKEN! DECONTROL!

ILLEGITIMATE AUTHORITY MUST BE CONFRONTED!

THE POLITICIANS AREN'T GOING TO END OUR SERVITUDE TO THE RULING CLASS. ONLY WE CAN THE STOP COOPERATING WITH SOCIETIES RULING CLASS!

IT IS OUR COOPERATION THAT HOLDS THE SYSTEM TOGETHER MORE THAN IT IS THE POLICE AND GOVERNMENT THAT IS HOLDING IT TOGETHER.

WE SLAVE AWAY EVERYDAY WHEN WE COULD BE GOING ON A NATIONAL STRIKE AND PROTEST TO END CAPITALISM AND STATE POWER AND THEN BURNING AND SMASHING OUR WAY TO FREEDOM.

A NATIONAL PLOT TO RECLAIM THE THE FACTORIES AND THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION FROM MULTI-NATIONAL AND BANKING INTERESTS AND WALL ST. MUST BEGIN AT SOME TIME OR ANOTHER.

WAGE SLAVERY HAS TO BE TURNED AROUND AND PEOPLE HAVE TO SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS WRONG AND THEN IT HAS TO BE DISOBEYED AND THEN ABOLISHED FOR GOOD.

ALL POLITICIANS NEED TO BE KICKED TO THE SIDE IN ORDER FOR DIRECT DEMOCRACY, SELF MANAGEMENT, SUFFICIENCY AND SELF SUSTAINABILITY TO TAKE PLACE BUT THIS SELF EVERYTHING CAN NOT SUSTAIN ON IT'S OWN WITH OUT EVERYBODIES COOPERATION AND MUTUAL AID AND VOLUNTEERING OR WORKING TOGETHERNESS.

A MODEL FOR CONSENSUS AGREEMENTS, I'D RATHER CALL THE CONSENSUAL MODEL MUST REPLACE THE OLD FASHIONED LEADERSHIP MODEL IN ORDER TO SELF GOVERN IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS CO-OP ENVIRONMENT OR ANY SORT OF COLLECTIVE SETTING!

POLITICIANS WILL NOT SAVE US FROM THE POLICE OR THE SYSTEM THAT LOCKS US UP AND ROBS US BLIND OF ALL ALL W GOT INCLUDING OUR STRENGTH, DIGNITY AND SPIRIT.

ONLY WE CAN SAVE OUR SELVES.

ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE!

Thanks for getting involved Local 10 ILWU

Just to give you some perspective

Every time i post a comment indybay lumps all my paragraphs into one making it difficult for people to read i can imagine. This flaw in indybays website is not helpful to the cause.

You checked that your comment was "HTML" and yet you did not have HTML paragraph or break tags in with your text.

As it says when you publish to the newswire or calendar, or make a comment:

- When selecting "HTML", you must provide <p></p> and <br /> tags for paragraphs and line breaks.

If you don't want to put those tags into your posts, then don't check HTML and your posts will have whatever line breaks are in your text. Know that if you do not use HTML, you can still use <a href=""> tags for links but you cannot use image tags. You can upload an image with your comments or posts so you can still have an image without using HTML.

"HTML" has been unchecked so now your text paragraphs show up, but the image tag no longer works as explained above. It's one or the other, and your text seemed more important than the star image.

Also, please, do not use all caps. It is considered bad manners because it is the equivalent of shouting online and it makes comments hard to read. Many if not most people will simply skip over comments that are in all caps and not even bother to read them.

Thanks for the info. Will do from now on.

About the CAPS. I understand that CAPS may be hard to read for some but figured that the radical message being conveyed would overpower ones inability to read in shouting format. I'm also aware that some people take shouting as insulting but isn't that what we all do at demonstrations? SHOUT out loud so that the world will hear us? A battle cry out in the street is never quiet and should never be and so once in a great while when there is a call for non-militants to make them selves apart of future mobilizations to directly confront power for total emancipation from the system, it is sometimes necessary to use CAPS, very rarely though.

It is some times necessary to give the reader some sense of how the writer is feeling and how the writer wants the reader to feel as a result. It is my hope that the reader already feels the same at all times even before having the chance to read my writing. lol {:)>

It may be uncivilized to shout in anger and there for I might be taken as somebody unintellectual but there's nothing civil about using violence or calling for such to overthrow systems of total control. The outrage at the system that is fueling the latest violence should materialize freely once in a while in our writing just to show other angry people that they are not alone and we're not all calm here over the fuck't up situation we are all in at the moment. Raw human emotion or the lack it or suppression of ones raw self expression leads to....... well going mad eventually i think. We all need to blow our lid in one way or another as a form of self-therapy.

A good riot would be excellent therapy.

Don't you think?

Most online forums that allow formatted text use something like BBcode, which lets the user format, insert links, etc., much as one does with a simple WYSIWYG word processor. Why doesn't indybay use something like that?

As for shouting with all-caps, or otherwise: Shouting at a demonstration, or into the ears of the enemy, is a good thing. But if you were to shout for more than a few seconds at a meeting where we were having a discussion among comrades and friends, I would support having you ejected.

Regarding the post itself:
1) Jack's last name is "Heyman", not "Hayman".
2) A planning meeting is not a "Critical Mass".
And that is not my intention and anybody how did that would receive a fair well kick in the ass.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
