Activists armed with Bush protest 'go bags' (Major Moonbat ALERT)

PAINT, banners, chant sheets and whistles are being sorted into survival kits for protesters preparing to rally against the Sydney arrival of US President George W Bush.

Mr Bush will jet into Sydney on September 4 in preparation for APEC meetings later in the week.

His arrival will be marked on September 5 by a planned peaceful "student strike" organised by the anti-war group Resistance.

Resistance member Simon Cunich said creating the bright red Stop Bush Bags was a practical way of promoting protests during APEC.

The bags also contain chalk, stickers, leaflets, umbrellas, water and a know your rights handbook.

Mr Cunich said the bags were inspired by Sydney City Council's "Go Bag" concept, under which Sydneysiders were encouraged to pack a bag including walking shoes, an AM/FM radio and first aid items in preparation for an emergency like a terrorist attack.

"I think it is making a statement that the Sydney City Council, the State Government and the Federal Government have been trying to actually stir up a threat as an attempt to scare people out of being in Sydney at the time of APEC," Mr Cunich said.

"Especially to keep people off the street and away from protests.

"We're saying the real terror threat and one that we urgently need to take action (against) is the war on terror."
