blanket advice from those willing to Chase the ambulance and scoop up what is left...for profit

http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/how-not-to-get-arrested/Content?oid=4867838

________

Incitement from those who profit off the victims, and endanger those who take their "advice."


But even if you heed Kreuscher's advice?

 You still might get arrested.

Or worse.

"It's not a magic wand," he says.

_________


Kreusher is right. Having money, a law degree, important connections, the right clothes, and the foresight to watch the melee from the distance of a high rise office, is the "magic wand."


_______


"Kreuscher, working with the National Lawyers Guild, was delivering a brief, energetic lecture called "Know Your Rights"—essentially all about how not to get arrested during a rally and what to do in case you are.

He was invited by the organizers of Occupy Portland, the anti-corporate group planning a noontime rally Thursday at Tom McCall Waterfront Park, followed by a march to Pioneer Courthouse Square. (And then, likely, followed by days of camping out along the Willamette.)"

________



so much for the "camp on the Willamette" idea. City Hall loved having Occupy in front of the cop shop and city hall.

and avoiding arrest? is that how the Civil Rights movement operates?

FILL THE JAILS with political dissidents. the IWW won free speech battles across the nation by exercising their Constitutional rights, and getting arrested by the dozen.


______



following the advice of those who stay out of the trenches is a precarious place to put one's self.

"The American Lyceum Association was founded in 1831 by American statesman Daniel Webster and educator Josiah Holbrook. The Latin word “Lyceum” comes from the Greek word “Lykeion” which referred to the school outside Athens where Aristotle taught from 325 to 323 B.C."

My step-grandfather, Harry Byrd Kline, was President of the International Platform Association in 1951. His politics and character were as strange as the list of honored speakers earning the Silver Bowl...

For much of the 20th Century, IPA Silver Bowl awards have recognized a rich, diverse galaxy of political leaders, authors, performers, scientists, journalists, musicians, business leaders and philosophers who have made significant contributions to the intellectual life of America.

holy tube


sacrifice belongs to the heart organ
struggling to render sense
of what the world makes of congealed peoples,
my own circle included,
as distal moot points jab reminders
we are one
when we see something hurt,
when conscience intrudes on business,
when going about forced
feedings, bleedings, and improvised bedding
on the side of holy
mountains buzzing with news vulture drones
ready to dominate
that which surmounts disbelief
and posits United sanctuaries as targets,
cupid on the rack
with a steady stream of vitriol
inserted down tube you conduit
you condone it
tithe the torture instrument no more
on a day shared
not just by foes, but by the rest of us noncombatants
who avoid even pillow fights
who would rather sing the feasts we find on this spare rib
called Earth, pulled out of a swirl
and primary longing to give
our own
to the other
in order for chaos to illustrate beauty in freedom
that mocks constraints and private prison islands
by a pace maker ticking out pardons
and sorry sorties, atoning for thirty third alignments
in which One divided
bears some burden, in ritual, but allows
blood shed by proxy and calls it brother in the wrong tongue,
so much in the way
that our info tube carves new tunnels in the form of wormholes
trying to find ways out of days
less revered than utilized.
