Protesting Veterans Tear Down DC Barricades, Chant "Shut Down The White House"

The "Million Vet March" in Washington D.C. appears to be escalating as reports of barricades being torn down, police in riot gear and snipers being deployed, and a growing crowd at The White House chanting for its shut-down suggest the people are growing restless.

 

Veterans take back the Vietnam Memorial

 

Via Epoch Times,

Protesters have gathered in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, according to reports.

 

 

Park police in riot gear were deployed in front of the building.

 

“US Park Police have arrived in front of WH. Some in riot gear! Tea party/veteran protesters start booing,” wrote CNN’s Jim Acosta on Twitter.

 

A rally took place at the World War II memorial and headed to the White House, reported NBC Washington. Several thousand demonstrators came out, it said.

 

NBC reported that people were carrying barricades that were likely from the WWII memorial to the White House area.

 

The DC Police Department said its officers are on the scene.

 

“MPD is on the scene at White House with USSS & USPP concerning protest – marchers using sidewalk,” it wrote on Twitter.

 

Commentator Sarah Palin and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were on the scene and spoke to demonstrators.

 

The organizers of the protest described themselves as the “Million Vet March.”

 

It said that veterans and military members are “being used a political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis,” its website reads.

 

Jeff Tompkins, a protester, told NBC that  “it should be open to everyone to come down here and see this … this is not just and not fair,” referring to the WWII memorial.

Snipers at the ready atop the White House as the crowds gather...

 

Via Twitchy,

 

Amazing.

Now, the protest continues outside of the White House.

If it weren't for the veterans, there wouldn't have been a War Between The States or America's participation in The Great War. We have them to blame for these travesties. They shouldn't have believed the lies they were told.

Feral, I get where you're coming from, I really do.  Maybe you, like I were endowed with a hyper-sensitive bullshit detector.  I am on record here stating that if Nixon hadn't done away with conscription, I would be a Canadian citizen today.

Personal experience though has taught me that not everyone gets the same toolkit.  I have my own blind spots, too.

I totally disagree with your assessment of the civil war.  Before my time, it was the only war waged by the US that could have actually benefited society.  It wasn't about slavery- kinda like the war on terror ain't about keeping 'Mericans safe.  It was fought over State's Rights and decentralized control of gov't.  Too bad the wrong side won.  But it is what it is, and casting aspersions at our veteran's ain't no way to go about fixin' it.

". . . Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, . . ." -- Declaration of Independence

The federal government, in 1861, no longer had "the consent of the governed" in the southern states. It was their absolute right to leave the union. The wrong side did indeed win. America has had a tyranny ever since as defined: "arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority".

Does the government today have "the consent of the governed"?

See here- good man!  Don't change the subject!  Are we arguing?  Why?  ZH is like a fishbowl, Feral.  We (mostly) agree on everything, but continue to challenge each other.  This cannot be productive.

To ask me if I think our government has consent is, in this context, a loaded question.  I, and probably 99% of this community would, without hesitation, respond in the negative.  But, what are we?  Maybe 1% of the population at large?  Maybe that is optimistic, I dunno.  I still see plenty of Obamaton bumper stickers out there, indicating that the charlatan, by virtue of his clueless constituency, is teflon-coated.  Those of us who question his policy, are simply racists.

Congress, on the other hand is universally despised.  Do people actually believe that a strong, transparent, honest and informative Executive could somehow be hog-tied by this dysfunctional body?  Apparently, the answer is yes, they do.

What were we arguing about again?

I don't know that we were arguing. You may have misunderstood my position on The Great Northern Aggression.

My great grandfather was wounded and his brother was killed in that war. My great grandmother's brother was killed also as well as two of my great, great grandfather's brothers. They were all Yankees, BTW. It has been a mystery to me why they supported Lincoln's War. I suspect it was more due to fear of what would happen to them than anything. After it was over, I believe their attitudes changed, at least partially to justify their participation in it. None of them care much for the blacks. From their viewpoint the worst aspect of slavery was that it was unfair labor competition to the poor white folk. The newspapers of the day, especially the ones directed at the poor and middle-class whites, are an interesting read. The is no doubt that the lies contained in them were instrumental in shaping public opinion.

The question of whether the government has "the consent of the governed" is, I think, an important one for everyone. It's not just directed at you. It's not easy to know what the people really believe these days.

You really are a serf, you would trash those that stand up for your freedom?  You blame them??  I think you are overlooking the leadership, these guys we mostly grunts, but served their country when they were needed.  I salute the Vets.  You are wrong sir!

 

As to the war of Northern Aggression, you are mistaken too, sir.  The North, invaded the south as a matter of fact, due to States Rights issues, and Liberty, verses a Lincoln tyranny.  Ft. Sumpter was started by the north.

Perhaps, you should study your history a bit, and to spit on the likes of Lee AND Grant, et al, like you have, is squirrelous!

I call for State's Rights, not a big Fed Govt or an illegal Fed.  Take that as you may, I believe we are on the same side there.  The C declared negative rights to the Fed.  I support limited, govt and a return to the Constitution and a repeal of all Progressive Laws and a closure of all alphabet soup agencies; defer to state.

I support the troops, not the MIC, which is out of control, as is the domestic spending, etc...

If you haven't noticed America has a spending problem, and it needs to be fixed. We also, don't need to be the World Police, but protect our shores.  Last but no least, kill NSA, TSA, DHS, Patriot Act, Affordable Care Act, NDAA, and make EO illegal again.  Look to history, who last declared martial law? Abe...and thus the rise in EO's...ban lobbyists, enforce term limits, and kill the tail wag the dog special interest groups.

UN out of US and US out of UN.

I think we can agree on a LOT, and I am a TEA, if that makes any difference!

I believe in "Contractarchy".

Definition: If I don't want to do business with you or contract with you, then fuck off. And if you try to "force" your "services" on me at the point of gun, you can doubly fuck off with my boot up your ass.

Fucking knobs that throw the word "anarchy" around think that all hell breaks loose if free people are able to choose freely. What they really mean is "chaos". And so far .gov has a fantastic record of preventing chaos? Yeah, right.

After 15 years of ridding myself from the .gov & bankster scum to the point where they are almost (I said almost) non-existent in my life, I have found nothing but peace. No anarchy... no chaos... no end of the world bullshit. In fact, I see daily the stress on the faces of those that choose .gov as their savior for hopey-changey bullshit that never pans out in their favor.

Now... please sign up to contract with me before I blow your fucking head off... in the jungle. /sarc

It's nitwits like you that can't or won't read that are part of the problem. Where did I say or even suggest that The South was responsible for the War Between The States? Those poor bastards just wanted to vote with their feet. They got shot in the back by Lincoln's Northern troops.

The troops are an essential part of the MIC. You can't have one without the other, nor can you support one without supporting the other.

The Tea Party is just a bunch of brain-washed, Koch-ass sucking idiots. They are unable to think for themselves.

Not to jump on you here Abi, but a standing army is not even permitted by the constitution, only the means to raise one.

So you cannot be "for the troops" while advocating constitutional government.

The Veterans are not to fucking blame, asswipe.

 

The blame belongs to the Crony "Capitalist" Socialist swine...The Bankers.

 

They are so misinformed. They need to be barricading the Federal Reserve Bank and hanging Bernanke...IDIOT. They still are misinformed. But they are DOING SOMETHING AT LEAST.

 

If you have any Money in the Bank it needs to be removed as soon as possible. This is how it starts. It goes down quick. This is some serious shit.

 

BANK RUN. Do not be "Bailed In". This is too unstable at this point.

If you believe all individuals have the right to liberty you have to also believe every individual is fully responsible for their decisions and actions. If I take up arms and kill another human being I had better damn well know what I'm doing and know that it's justified. If I brainlessly follow the directives of politicians, I'm nothing more than a murderer.

The nature of the military is to condition humans into command driven killing machines. The soldier has been a part of every civilization known. They are a weapon much like a gun. Do guns kill people or those who contol them? You, like everyone else, having been living brainlessly in a world constructed for that exact purpose. Your reality has been created for you and you are every bit as responsible for the mess we are in as the rest of us, including soldiers, so climb down off your high horse. A lot of people here spend a lot of time trying to figure out who to blame for the crap we see everywhere, when we sould be looking a little more closely at ourselves.

My generation and the two family generations before me were sold the lie that being a soldier was a duty to "God and Country". After 20 years of Army service, I realized in 1990 that both the god and the country I served were not my God nor my Country.  I realized I was a birthright American, not a US (no A) of DC CITIZEN.  That's when I resigned my commission and stopped serving the wrong master.

You're an ignorant fool in blaming the war-mongering corruption of DC on those of us who were their pawns. Obviously, you aren't a Vet and you couldn't possibly fathom how Veterans think, let alone understand what we do.

Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: Veterans despise war and combat because we have experienced it first hand. We've smelled the putrid stench of needless death and we will never again voluntarily walk into that hell again unless forced to defend our families. Any man or woman who has experienced battle in any place in this world will strive for peace first and foremost simply because we've experienced the opposite.

Blame wars on American Veterans because we were lied to? Go to hell, FerelSerf.

Have tears in my eyes.  I look at my sons and daughter and wonder if they were to be called up for some useless carnage in some God forsaken shit hole just to allow a banker or elite to live his comfortable "American Dream" that I would do my dead level best to hide them or transport them to some other country but at the same time......battle feelings of being unpatriotic.  And if my one son who is 15 who mentions joining the military will I sit down with him and try to explain the situation and why I do not want him to serve.  And to make matters worse we live in a navy town with 2 Navy bases, a National Guard Base, and a sub base up the road. 

Fuck this system and fuck the satanic globalist elite who run it.

Thank you White Owl.  One of the best pieces of advice I've received.  But my oldest is not my only.  I have 4 sons and a daughter.  And now I hear that the Industrial/Military complex wants to put on and are indeed training women to serve frontline (I know they already have in Shit Hole West (Iraq) and Shit Hole East (Afghanistan) but for real ).

And of course.....living out in the country they all know how to shoot (even my 6 year old) and some are old enough to hunt.  I've been around and owned guns all my life.  I shoot every week that I am home (I travel a lot).  I've even taught my oldest some home invasion defense tactics.  So even though I most certainly am not a Rambo....I'm not naive either.  I would certainly defend hearth and home and my neighbors' and community in a heart beat.  But on a national level?  There is no national level anymore.  We are simply a state in the United States of the World.

Well.....at least in my mind....I have seceeded.  My mind has certainly seceeded a long time ago.  My home is my country.  My family are my citizens.  My community is the larger world.  And that's it.  And yeah....I know.....I still pay homage to the Evil Empire through taxes....but they can never control my mind.  Nor can they have my children.  That's where I will plant my flag and make a stand to the death.

My dad fought under Chesty Puller in the South Pacific — Guadal Canal and all — dying at age 90 in disgust at having fought in vain for "freedom and democracy" that was and remains mere empire-building. He lived with us for his last eight years, forming a bond with my now 15-year-old son that was a daily joy to behold. In the interim, my older brother suffered years of PTSD from two tours in Vietnam (which I escaped due to the blind luck of a sufficiently high draft number), from which he has since recovered, while my son flourishes in a Free to Learn environment — http://www.amazon.com/Free-Learn-Unleashing-Instinct-Self-Reliant/dp/046... — steeped in the non-aggression principle and all that follows from it.

Suffice it to say, then, that the only war my son will ever fight will be the same one his dad is fighting: the one against the USG and its counterparts the world over.  

The one against the state, in other words, which, as always, can kiss my ass.

White Owl, that post was shall I say, brilliant.  I have some idea of chaos, from Jamaica in the 1970's, and have seen death and civil war.  It is not pretty, and to everyone I know and see, I tell them to prepare accordingly. Pawns on a chessboard, we all are, who is pulling the strings is of utmost importance to know, we have some ideas, yes?

Prepare: Mentally, phsically and spiritually, to overcome the hell we may be about to see, barring miracles, As I see it, we have long past the Rubicon.  

I have never served our country, but I salute every person who has served, I do understand the complete disgust I read for the leadership, the institutions, it is almost palpalble to me.  I can understand the sentiment, but even if you don't personally respect it, I respect you.  You have every right to your valid opinion, and you back it up with experience; expert knowledge, so to speak, very powerful.

20-20, I've paid the price like every other Vet. I didn't have a choice being #3 in the 1969 military draft lottery, but I DID have a choice what MOS (job) I could do in the Army. It was my passion to save lives that kept me there for 20 years, but it got to me and I had to quit. I never killed anyone, but I was shot in the back and lost my right eye while I served. That's the price I paid for helping others, both military and civilian... and it made me realize there was no God nor Country involved in the US Army or ANY Army. We were all just pawns in a rigged chess game.  But when people dishonor Vets like this FerElSerf asswipe, I will defend every fellow Vet like myself who had no choice in being drafted and who did their best to help others.

"Naturally the common people don't want war. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

Not true at all.  Wilson got reelected by promising to stay out of the Great War, lying piece of crap that he was.  Then he put in the draft.

J P Morgan, Jr was bribing newspaper editors because as Purchasing Agent for the British Government he was worried he would not get repaid when Britain lost.......he then worked extra hard to force accelerated repayment after 1919.

Aw shucks now FeralSerf, you've gone and upset the feral serfs by exposing their (extreme) cognitive dissonance and exposing the planet-sized gaping hole in their (so-called) "logic". Golly gee, dontcha know they're just following orders?? Salt of the earth, these guys. I'm sure all the dead and maimed are moved to tears when they learn their victimizers were just feckless pawns being manipulated to do evil, shucks (feckless manipulable pawns who double-pinky swear to not get fooled again, amd they seem like stand-up guys, right?)!

Lol! I guess the Nuremberg Trials never happened. I guess Hanna Arendt never developed the concept of "the banality of evil." I guess no one bears any responsibility, guilt, or blame until they find themselves on the business end of US foreign policy (lol).

Leaders ain't the only ones ready and willing to punt the can of moral courage and ethical responsibility again and again and again. These folk are all good Christians, pro-constitution and small government and all that shit, but lord have mercy if you don't support the poor troops! You can't argue with feral serfs, they don't understand subtlety, remorse, contrition, ambivalence, shame, or moral responsibility (but you can trust them to fix everything via voting, lol).

In conclusion: +1000

45 downvotes, you touched the third-rail of ZeroHedge! Maybe poster "CognitiveDissonance" has something to say about this... *crickets*

Printed money pays for wars and empire, costs you nothing so nothing to lose. Wilson knew it as did all those "oath takers" following. You have much to learn.

I have much to learn... perhaps less pomposity on your part is in order.

Wilson was not in control of the money, printed or otherwise... so to lay blame on his feet for that is... false.  I am no defender of Wilson, as he sold his soul to the people who did control the money and he should burn in hell for it.  To suggest that he killed more people than Mao and Stalin gives the puppet far too much credit.

Sun, 10/13/2013 - 19:54 | 4051382 FeralSerf
FeralSerf's picture

There's the soldiers on both sides that died directly due to America's involvement.

There's the about 50 million people that died from the "Spanish" (should have been called "Kansas) flu due to Wilson's decision to ignore the Surgeon General's advice concerning overcrowding of the troops and poor hygiene.

There's the people that died in WW2 thanks to the so-called "Armistice", a giant lie from Wilson. If the Germans had been treated fairly in 1919 in the Paris conference, Hitler and WW2 would never have happened.

You can add Vietnam, Korea, Cambodia and numerous other shitholes to the effects of Wilson's achievements.

You can add the Middle East problems of today to the list too since they were the result of Wilson's meddling there so the British and French could add to their empires and steal more natural resources from the locals that didn't want anything to do with them.

But Wilson believed he was doing good.

Wilson and his Anglo-American banking "pals" fucked up Planet Earth and its inhabitants for the next century or two.

I believe I have read the figure of 60-90 million for Mao, 30-40 million Stalin, 10 or so for Hitler, 3-5 mil for Pol Pot...all in the name of Social Justice, does that answer your question in any way?  How many did Bush murder now?

You do not have to actually pull the trigger to kill.  

Granted, the below figures are approximate (and disputed), but you all will get the idea:

Hitler: 20,000,000

Stalin: 20,000,000

Mao: 20,000,000

Bush II: 250,000

WW I politicans: 10,000,000 +

Lincoln: 600,000

Woodrow Wilson: I don't really have any idea

Total above: approx. 70,000,000 +

The above are by politicians only, I left out innumerable dictators who arose via their armies, etc.  Please don't tell me that it was soldiers and not the political leadership that killed 70 million people.
