thoughtcrime

Orwellion concept.

A crime that you are guilty of because you are THINKING of doing something bad. (i.e. In 1984's Oceania, spending time alone is almost a crime because it's considered odd, and odd people are a threat to a stable environment such as theirs.)

also, see patriot act. (i.e. when you check anarchist cookbook out from the library or something, the gov might have the right to go into your home and tap your phone and computer. And it's all perfectly legal since you might be a terrorist.)

like I said, patriot act.

Gitmo

short for Guantanamo Bay

scary place where suspected "enemy combatants" are taken and then interrogated in order to determine whether they are terrorists or not.

this area is lawless; any fucking thing can happen. do the geneva conventions apply here? who knows?

a large percentage of detainees held are released much much later and labelled to be completely innocent. seems like they take just anybody.

for some reason, the clothes nick berg was wearing when he was decapitated are the uniforms from gitmo.

answer

what they stand for: Act Now To Stop War and End Racism. They are a good group, and have organized a lot of protests, although I have to admit these protests seemed to have no effect whatsoever

The protests are never specific enough. These days, ANY protest is automatically mutated into an anti-irag-war and pro=palestine. The message shouldn't be so diluted. There are always like 10 different ideas and you're not really sure if you went for the right reason

But anywho, answer is great; they strive for equality in the world

US CONSTITUTION

a document that is ignored by the United States whenever it deems appropriate, kind of like the Geneva Conventions

There is absolutely no consistency for when to follow the constitution, and when to ignore it.

black bloc

during protests, the black bloc is the group of anarchists on their bikes wearing black hoodies with the hoods on, and a bandana over their face so only their eyes show. They are usually spotted heading off on breakaways and they do things like smash windows of corporations, refuse to obey police orders to disperse, and fight back during police brutality. However, they do not do this just for fun, or because they are bored. They have political agendas that no one agrees to accept or consider so they revert to agression to pique interests. They are also very much against the cops. Usually, Black blocs will erupt with their messages during critical political times (i.e. going to war with Iraq)

Here in San Francisco, the black blocs show up for just about every single protest, and they organize breakaways. However, they usually fail to incite any kind of rioting, save the one right after the first bomb was dropped in Iraq. Then, they shut down the financial distrct of this city, even though it had no affect.

What happened to the times when black blocs did REAL riots with and REAL damage???

1. George Shrubya Bush.
2. A shrub in the White House that needs to be uprooted and sent back to Texas

The shrub has ruined my life and the lives of my postdecessors.
