The Daily Mail (UK) seems to be the only ones covering it. I’d check their site later today for any updates. This link is from September 3rd, announcing their intentions:

An anti-capitalist organization who started the Occupy movement in 2011 have vowed to ‘draw wind’ from BLM protests tearing through the country and ‘lay siege to the White House’ for 50 days.

Adbusters, a non-profit environmentalist organization based in Canada - who are known for spurring the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 - have announced plans to ‘lay siege’ to the White House from September 17 until November 3.

The group describe themselves as ‘a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs’ whose goals involve advancing a ‘new social activist movement’.

In a post on their website titled ‘#WhiteHouseSiege – Tactical Briefing #1’, the activists say: ‘It’s time again for dramatic, decisive action.

‘Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C.’

*SNIP*

“According to their website, the group hopes their movement - which they say will be nonviolent - will go global:
‘A siege only works if it is sustained,’ their post reads.”

Diana, here: Adbusters is a CANADIAN group. Excellent comments after the article.

The comments ARE great.

It’s not like the Daily Mail is a conservative rag either.

If that’s the general sentiment across the country, this is going to be more than a landslide.

Sadly, I know too many idiots who honestly hate Trump and will vote for Biden because he’s not Trump.

They hold Trump to standards they don’t hold the dems to and excuse in the dems what they accuse Trump of.
