Gathering of Eagles Has Antiwar Organizers on the Run!
Gathering of Eagles ^ | March 8, 2007 | GOE

Posted on 03/08/2007 4:42:43 PM PST by tgslTakoma

The communist, pro-terrorist group International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) seems to realize they are facing a hot LZ on March 17.

ANSWER has made significant changes in their plans since their initial announcement that they would hold their ‘antiwar’ rally at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Last week they changed the location of their rally from Constitution Gardens (East side of the Vietnam Memorial) to a park one block west of Memorial on Henry Bacon Drive.

Yesterday, ANSWER announced they are only going to use the Henry Bacon Drive park as a meeting point for their march to the Pentagon, rather than holding a rally there.

This does not change our plans at all.

While the Gathering of Eagles has put these communist terrorist lovers on the run, the danger to the memorials from ANSWER’s fellow travelers is growing. With each passing day, we are receiving reports of threats to desecrate the Vietnam Memorial and other Memorials. We pass this information to the Park Service for investigation.

ANSWER is asking their supporters to start arriving near the Vietnam Memorial at 8 a.m. on the 17th. They plan to start their march to the Pentagon at 12:30 p.m.. That means their people will be milling about for hours with nothing to do and may try to cause trouble.

It is imperative that the Eagles start gathering as early as possible Saturday (0700/7AM) morning and plan to stay all day.

Being that ANSWER has forsaken use of Constitution Gardens, the Gathering of Eagles has applied with the Park Service for a permit to use Constitution Gardens, an excellent location, as our rallying point and base of operations from which to spread out to protect the memorials. The Park Service should be able to tell us tomorrow (Friday) where we stand.

The anti-American left will be scattered around Washington on the 17th. The Fidel Castro groupies and Jane Fonda lovers at Code Pink will be meeting near the World War II Memorial Saturday morning before they join ANSWER’s march.

Another leftist group has plans to rally at the Lincoln Memorial near the Korean War Memorial.

When ANSWER’s march to the Pentagon is over, many of their people will be heading back across Memorial Bridge to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. We cannot let our guard down all day.

In addition to applying for Constitution Gardens, we have also applied for demonstration areas along ANSWER’s march route. Please note that we have advised the Park Service and the Pentagon that we will not be counter-protesting at the Pentagon. We would just be in the way when the leftists start trying to tear down the protective fences and the CS gas starts being used by law enforcement at the Pentagon parking area where the anti-war rally will be held.

Our plans have been slow to announce because ANSWER abuses the Park Service’s permit process by preventing other groups, like ours, from being able to obtain permits in a timely manner. Rest assured that all will be settled soon and we will soar like Eagles on March 17.

Please review our Mission Statement on www.gatheringofeagles.org to refresh the principles that under-gird Gathering of Eagles event…we hold the high ground but will be resolute in protecting our Memorials from desecration, damage,and dishonor.

Eagles Up!

The permit information is easily gotten from the National Park Service and Kristinn is working with them. NPS is being very limp (IMO) with regards to ANSWER's trying to block any opposing voices having a permitted location to gather. All that being said, the individual vets and supporters are moving forward with their plans. They are coming to the Wall, and all over the area surrounding the Wall, permit or not. The participant numbers have snowballed, even with hardly any "friendly" media support; almost all of the publicity has occurred via AlGore's internet.

With the Move America Forward caravan having begun yesterday, I hope the MSM will catch on that this event is going to happen, with or without their coverage. Of course, with their coverage our numbers would grow even larger.

See you there, R. Scott!

Yep. Depending on the weather, I will be wearing a dark suit with medals. If wet I will have a tan trench coat over it - with medals on the coat.

frankly, i don't think ANSWER is a bunch of commies. instead they seem to be a motley collection of every HATE GROUP, including MANY "NEO-NAZI" supporters.

at the last big rally in DC, MANY of their marchers were carrying yellow, diamond-shaped signs, emblazoned with large BLACK SWASTIKAS and/or "SS runes" & were loudly CHANTING:

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM KILL THE JEWS. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, KILL THE JEWS." ======>(fyi,at first, i thought i was "hearing things". this chant made me want to VOMIT.)

actually, i later "latched on to" one of the ANSWER leaders, who had come over to the FR counter-protest site & asked him about the CREEPS with swastikas/runes. he said, "International ANSWER does NOT believe in censorship, as the rightists do. we support free speech for all people, everywhere."

fyi, i do NOT consider it better to SUFFER racists TO BE INCLUDED IN your organization/march, than it is to BE a racist/anti-semite!

I doubt if they'll get into Arlington without first going thru the visitor center and taking a bus tour. Otherwise they'll have to hoof there way in and out. I doubt if they'll make it out. Most visitors there will lend a helping hand if they do get close enough to vandalize the Tomb.
