ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO STAND UP TO THE DEVELOPERS AND THEIR ALLIES, BY OCCUPYING LAND THAT IS TO BE DEVOLPED-CODE FOR DECIMATED I’DE SAY. THERE LOTS OF BROWN FIELDS THAT COULD BE CLEANED UP AND USED BUT THE CITY’S AND DEVOLPERS DONT WANT TO ICCUR THE COSTS SO OUR FUTURE WILL, OUR CHILDREN WILL, OUR EARTHS ECOLOGY WILL. WHEN ARE THE SO CALLED LEADERS GOING TO GET IT-BUSINESS AS USUAL IS DEAD…… THE NORM MUST BE CHANGED….AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE PEOPLE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE CHANGE! SUPPORT THEM-EVEN IF IT MUST BE FROM THE SHADOWS SUPPORT THESE INITATIVES.
PLEASE RESEARCH THEN SUPPORT PEOPLE LIKE THESE THAT ARE ON THE FRONT LINES.
THE SIMILARITIES TO MY BELOVED REDHILL VALLEY IS UNBELIEVABLE-THE SYSTEM HAS A HANDBOOK OF TOOLS THEY USE AGAINST US ACTIVISTS, WE WHO ARE WILLING TO PUT ALL ON THE LINE FOR OUR BELIEFS. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. WAS ARRESTED 30 TIMES BY THE POWERS OF HIS DAY, THE SUFFERGETTES WERE ARRESTED WHILE THEY TRIED TO CHANGE WOMENS OPPRESSION. I FIND IT ODD THAT IN A DEMOCRACY THE SYSTEM USES ALL ITS RESOURCES GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE TO FIGHT THE PEOPLE, I THINK? THEY SHOULD HAVE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE ACCESS TO THE PEOPLES MONIES TO ENSURE AN EQUAL DEBATE.
