The FBI and federal government have been caught red handed setting up groups, staging terrorists attacks, staging drills, creating patsies, and infiltrating activist groups. Here are 10 good tips to avoid the embarrassment of your group ending up in the headlines as another excuse to further the police state agenda. No matter if you’re a 9/11 group, anti-GMO, anti-war, Christian, Muslim or whatever the cause may be. If you run a group these tips are for you

This past weekend in Washington, D.C., I attended my first International Students for Liberty Conference. I gave a number of talks and went to several other sessions. There were about 1,200 young libertarians in attendance, and as a group, they were absolutely outstanding. They are well-read, engaged, articulate, organized, and passionate. They are thinking, not just about the ideas of freedom themselves, but also about how best to forward them to other students and to the public at large.

In the past two weeks, Occupy Sandy has set up distribution sites at a pair of Brooklyn churches where hundreds of New Yorkers muster daily to cook hot meals for the afflicted and to sort through a medieval marketplace of donated blankets, clothes and food. There is an Occupy motor pool of borrowed cars and pickup trucks that ferries volunteers to ravaged areas. An Occupy weatherman sits at his computer and issues regular forecasts. Occupy construction teams and medical committees have been formed.

365 years ago the original Putney debates discussed the need for greater democracy and a new constitution for England. Today these issues are even more relevant, with decisions that affect us all being taken by a few, decisions on economic policy, energy, climate change, welfare and education for example.

We can go even further than that, though. I’ve previously quoted Gupta’s arguments that the capitalist security state cannot afford to be honest with itself — to operate in the full knowledge of what its real goals are — because the true nature of those goals is too abhorrent. As a result, most subordinates within the state repression apparatus operate with the protective blinders of cognitive dissonance, relying on official doctrines about promoting “peace and freedom” around the world to conceal the truth of enforcing global corporate rule through drone assassinations, repressive states and death squads.

By stripping away this protective cover, and confronting lower-level state functionaries with the real nature of the system of power they serve, we can undermine the security state’s morale and cohesion.

In these historic times, sadly the UK state are at the forefront of intentionally seeking to stop people peacefully bringing about constructive change..... to protect people's lives.

And it certainly is not soldiers, but we the people, who are really fighting for the freedom to speak out.

The momentum that has been developing behind OccupyLSX suggests that there are a lot of people out there who feel similarly and want to do something about it. The most pervasive lie we are told is that we are powerless. The second most pervasive lie is that economic matters are beyond the understanding of the average person. By coming to the London Stock Exchange, people can give the lie to all that. They can take back the initiative and start talking about - and maybe even working towards - an alternative, in an area (both in terms of geography and of policy) where we are very used to being told there is none.

We proved the previous legislation they used against us, was illegal.

Seriously illegal.

So now we are officially criminals again.

And they hadn't even finished with Westminster City Council making us criminals too.

Or the Mayor.

However, Royal Assent was given the nod. Need I say more.

I will start at Whitechapel Tube Station and walk along the A1 towards London where I will end at Bank Station outside the Bank of England. I expect to be arrested for carrying out my lawful protest but I expect the courts to uphold Justice and respect for the law by finding me not guilty. I feel its important for me to highlight a right that we all have in this country. A right my grandfather and many other brave men and woman risked their life for. A right I am prepared to die for myself. I will inform the police that I intend to carry out my rights regardless of their illegal ban which serves no other purpose then political.

There are quite a few women in Holloway who have been imprisoned because of the riots.

These are historical times we live in.

It is eye opening to think that if you are a 'protester' in Libya, the UN and UK have no problem with / will give you a machine gun, rocket launcher, arrange aerial bombing so that people can, in their own words, "take matters into their own hands".

I the undersigned, being a citizen of the Commonwealth of Australia, hereby state unequivocally that I have lost confidence in the 43rd Parliament of Australia to form and maintain a responsible record of governance.

There are assemblies happening each night on squares around the cities where people are getting together and talking about a new system using direct democracy. They don't want any political parties and when they see anyone with a flag or a sign from a political party trying to approach the demonstration or to come to the assemblies they turn them away, asking them to come back without any political signage or affiliation.

Governments do not mind persecuting, torturing and murdering those who stand up to them, and while the governments are all really rather good at pointing the finger towards other governments, what none of them do well, is their own shame, so they all try and wrap up and package political persecution, as being all about something entirely different, of course.

The media are mostly just as bad, because media are of course either state controlled or commercial enterprises, and when they talk about freedom of speech, for example, I promise you, they only mean their own, and they will only champion the people's if it happens to co-incide with their own interests.

So I continue to do my best to stand my ground in a public space, without violence, because I really do not want to be driven underground, into the governments world of weapons and violence.
