A Great Victory over the G8
Did Occupy Chicago come into the equation to move the G8 to
Camp David? According to CBS Chicago[1],
that is a question that was dodged by the President of the United States. Obama
point out that NATO is still on it way. According to reports on WGN this
morning, however, unnamed sources in Chicago’s City Hall reported that security
was indeed a concern. Essentially the President did not want the world’s
business leaders to meet and greet the unwashed masses that were planning on
visiting Chicago for just that reason. It comes down to the representative of
the 1% were unwilling to come to terms with the 99%. At best, maybe, some good
will comes out of the move. It was a conference like the one planned at Camp
David which gave us Bretton Woods agreement[2],
and 27 years of financial stability after World War II.
While the well healed diplomats are heading to seclusion and
peaceful isolation, NATO is still on it way. The likelihood of NATION moving to
a new venue seems somewhat unthinkable. The financial diplomats can move out
without losing face. The same cannot be said about the western’s worlds
generals cannot turn tail, and run from the scruffy riff raff (like me) on the
streets of Chicago. It would be ridiculous for NATO to hide. They are the
collective representatives of the west War Machine. They are not going to let
everyday citizens chase them out of the third largest city in the United
States. In a sense, NATO is going to double, dog dare Occupy Chicago to do just
that. A double dog dare at this point alone is a breach of street etiquette.
NATO will be here in Chicago. Occupy Chicago will be here.
The only question is: who else will be here from May 1, 2012 to May 21, 2012[3].
Side Note
If you are catching a tone of sarcasm in this report, it is
not your imagination. With the degrading
of our civil rights, our industry, our education, and the continued gutting four
years after it begun, it is hard to take our leaders seriously. Some say the inmates have taken over the asylum.
I am beginning to think that gangbangers
have taken over. The decent people
are the ones screaming on the street.

I'm gathering a delegation from New England together. I wouldn't miss this for the world!
ReplyDeleteHave no idea what the city plans on doing this coming May. They refused to reissue a permit for protestors for Sunday, May 19, 2012, but that just makes it all more interesting. Wonder what the CPD will do if thousands of people with signs decided to take a stroll all at once. All activities kick off April 7, 2012. http://www.chicagospring.org/
