Striker Brigade Blocked by Olympia Port Protest

It turns out that the Olympia police department's announcement that the shipments had been stopped was a lie. According to eyewitness accounts, shipments occurred later in the afternoon. We should compensate for this tomorrow.

Also, here are some pictures of today's festivities.

Bravo to the Northwest citizens who courageously confronted the Empire's "Axles of Evil" today at Olympia Port. We activists in Hawaii have also been organizing for the last 2 years to oppose the "Stryker" brigades, which are the new Imperialist interventionist formations designed to put down urban opposition to USA policies, mostly in Asia & other Third World nations in the coming decades.
After their disastrous Iraquagmire leading to a bankrupt domestic economy, the USA Empire builders(aka warmongers on steroids) have no other cards left--except for the "first strike" military Iron Fist; hence they are desperate to build up even more firepower & state-sponsored terrorism to put down popular movements against the Empire dreamers.

Keep up the valiant struggle!

I add my thanks, too. I missed advance news of this. Would've been there with you. Sorry i failed to keep up with you.

I'm getting impression that the convoys are every day for a while. If that is true, when should a person from outside Oly show up to support you?

My contacts in Olympia (such as they are) seem to believe the convoys are over (or nearly so) as of now. They were expecting roughly as many as there have been.

There are going to be ongoing protests, but given that any future shipping activity is going to involve loading the Strykers onto a ship in a heavily-guarded port facility, it would appear that the best window for direct action has passed.

Myself, I wasn't aware of anything happening at the Port of Olympia until I heard about yesterday's arrests on today's morning news. It all underscores a real need for better communication between the activist communities in the different cities of Cascadia, something which I'm going to attempt to make some effort (however small it may be) at addressing.

the olympian is reporting that the conveys are going to continue into next week. we're assuming the ship will not be coming into port until after all the equipment is in. we are maintaining a presnece at the port and will try to block whatever conveys come in, but they are coming pretty sporadically. a few strykers got through today without us knowing so we are now maintaining a 24 hour lookout. we will be meeting at the port at 7am friday morning and will be there all day. come out if you can.

I'd like to join this protest. Will it continue next week? How do I hook up. I live in S. Oregon and could drive up  Tues....kayla@riseup.net
