The Boston Gulag

Much has been made of the plans of the City of New York to have protests and demonstrations some distance from Madison Square Garden during the GOP Convention. The left has moaned and groaned, whined and belly ached. Of course this will but a crunch on the plans of those being trained by the Ruckus Society to disrupt the convention. The Ruckus Society is also heavily funded, to the tune of close to $300,000.00 br Mrs. Kerry's Tides Foundation. I have posted before about the plans to disrupt the convention. Just as a reminder:

New York ruckus brought to you courtesy of Teresa Heinz-Kerry

She may sport fashionable togs rather than a face mask, but the chaos expected during the upcoming GOP convention, is partly courtesy of the stylish Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

The Ketchup Queen financed the shadowy Tides Foundation to the tune of $4 million to date. The Tides Foundation funds the Ruckus Society, a notorious group of anarchists who rioted and looted Seattle during the 1999 World Trade Organization riots.

This summer, the Ruckus Society has been training protesters for the GOP Convention. Included in their how-to Book for Dummies are mass sit-ins, blockades and pie throwing at high-level officials enroute to Madison Square Gardens.


With the money of Mrs. John Kerry, Ruckus Society members live up to their name of being ready to create a ruckus anywhere, but they’re bound to be more careful in New York than they were in Seattle. And it’s not because they are afraid of The Terminator who’s scheduled to give one of the GOP’ keynote addresses. It’s because they don’t want their rioting, looting, sit-ins and blockades to leave the impression that the Dems and their gaggle of Hollywood supporters are the bad guys. It’s the Johnny America shout mimicking Paul Revere: "The Republicans are coming! The Republicans are coming!" that they want to stick in the public mind.

In Ruckus Society Director John Seller’s own words: "The Republicans would love to have images coming out of New York City that make them look like the reasonable ones like they’re about responsibility and law and order and creating a safe society, and that the left was unreasonable and violent."

Rhetoric aside, with tactics like dog decoys intended to deliberately miscue bomb sniffing dogs in their bag of dirty tricks, tossing marbles under the hooves of police horses and using homemade slingshots to pelt the noble beasts, radical protesters should be prepared to wear the unreasonable shoe that best fits them.

While some 600,000 passengers travel to Penn Station on regular working days, protesters are hoping that their handiwork will see the necessity of having to evacuate Madison Square Garden.

All lessons being taught to willing protestors at the Ruckus knee are ones to make it less easy for the New York Police Department to maintain public safety.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Timoney calls radical protesters what they are, "criminal conspirators".

"There’s a cadre, if you will, of criminal conspirators who are about the business of planning conspiracies to go in and cause mayhem and cause property damage and cause violence in major cities in America that have large conventions and large numbers of people coming in for one reason or another."

Nothing, least of all commonsense will stop the radicals who are on a mission the equivalent of telling the not so long ago besieged Big Apple to get out of town by sunset.

"We will draw our examples and inspiration from the brave shapers of history who came before us and those who put their bodies on the line to gain independence," was one of the loftier protester warnings on the Internet.

Ruckus Society patron Teresa Heinz-Kerry was a flower child of the 60s when she worked as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva. It was when she was hanging out for an Earth Day rally in 1990 that she first ran into the guy with the same initials as JFK.

The socialite, who partly financed the coming ruckus in Madison Square Garden, is not likely to risk her public safety by being in New York. Her protest days long over, for Teresa Heinz-Kerry the Aug. 31 Day of Civil Disobedience will be as tame as the ketchup bottle on the kitchen table as she watches events from one of her half dozen mansions.

Now Boston has decided to one up New York by creating a gulag, they call a "protest zone" or a "free speech zone". Below are several pictures of this fenced in zone. Do note the mesh cover and the razor wire. I am sure those veterans that have been POWs, who will be in Boston to protest the poodle, will be most offended. I was never a POW and I DAMNED offended. - Sailor
