(Global Research) In a major reversal of long-standing federal policy, the Trump Administration has issued a new plan to charge demonstrators for the right to use our public parks, sidewalk, and streets that are on federal land in the nation’s capital for First Amendment activity. Among other areas, this includes the National Mall, Lafayette Park, the Lincoln Memorial and the sidewalk in front of the Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue. The federal Pay-to-Protest in DC plan includes charging demonstrators for the cost of barricades and fencing erected at the discretion of police; salaries of personnel deployed to monitor the protest; trash removal and sanitation charges; permit application fees and costs that the government will assess on “harm to the turf.” In addition, the Department of Interior under Ryan Zinke has quietly moved to close the iconic White House sidewalk to protest. The National Park Service’s recent regulatory filing shows plans to close the sidewalk to demonstrations leaving only a narrow pedestrian passageway. The Nixon administration notoriously ordered buses to surround the White House during Vietnam War protests, blocking access to the sidewalk. Now the Trump administration wants to issue a regulatory change to essentially block all protests from the sidewalk permanently. These plans were contained in a 94-page regulatory proposal that was published in the federal register by the National Park Service, under the Department of the Interior. The public has until October 15, 2018, to register their opposition. “Never before in history have protestors been required to pay to demonstrate on federal land in the nation’s capital. This is a protest tax on the exercise of First Amendment rights intended to burden and suppress dissent,” stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, constitutional rights lawyer and executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund. “Free speech is not free if you have to pay for it. The exercise of free speech is a fundamental right and this measure is anti-democratic at its core,” stated Carl Messineo, constitutional rights lawyer and legal director of the PCJF. The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund has launched a legal challenge and grassroots organizing campaign to stop this plan, including a petition in opposition to the plan here.

#56. To: Liberator (#55)
I don't care about LBJ. I learned today that the "Okay" hand gesture is also now a sign for white power. Whodathunkit?
Yes, they have. (or perhaps you've always been more Prog then you let on). I'm sorry if it disturbs you that I am not going all in for Trump and drinking the kool-aid like you are. You can re-process and re-frame the narrative all you want; What you can NOT do is convince any thinking person here that the entire Dem Party, it's propaganda organ, the MSM, and all Progs and Commies aren't fascist, don't hate Trump for no good reason, lie routinely, enforce a double-standard on "freedom", AND aren't indeed conducting a "Scorched Earth" operation on America. If anyone has "sold out" it's you. At one time you could see behind the curtain and even mocked those who put "party over principle". Tell me -- to what "principle", ethic or morality does ANY Democrat or its party embrace? Never has this "curtain" be exposed and to this extent. Geez, even Freepers now see the light. As one who was once way ahead of the curve, you've regressed badly. Maybe its peer pressure? Your sphere of acquaintances and friend who've gotten into your head? Serious Question: Do you believe the Democrat Party and its various tentacles (MSM, Social Media giants, Prog-Corporate America, Academia, and the political establishment) have declared war on Donald Trump? And "MAGA"??
But...the point was this: The MSM ignored and hid the truth about LBJ's nastiness, bullying, and horrendous behavior. But makes up lies about President Trump. You should care. Do you want the MSM filtering/controlling/manipulating public opinion based on BS?? I learned today that the "Okay" hand gesture is also now a sign for white power. Whodathunkit? Right (I also had NO idea). But there ya go! That there helps make my point.
Well I didn't see LBJ rubbing his junk on anyone, but that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. Was that during the time that the USS Liberty was attacked by Israel, and LBJ said that it was cool with him?
I'd care if I could do something about it. I've long since canceled my cable TV so I don't have to watch it. I read about it though.
("I think they [Snowflake Dems] actually fear the Truth.") It has to be very depressing, when they realize they've been fed schitt for so long and they believed it... Yeah -- I agree that extreme depression and likely anger their initial reaction to gulping the crap, no questions asked for so long... But then...ecstasy and re-energized as they realize, they see the light. This #WALK AWAY has gained a lotta traction. So much so that its organizer was booted off Social Media outlets! These people are already re-focusing their anger on converting the previously oblivious Dem-Bots to The Truth!
And if you DID, please keep it to yourself....SOME things between consenting adult should remain private, Hondo.
You can, indirectly. Just don't nod your head out there when obvious lies are getting traction. We're all just raindrops, but collectively we can be a flood of truth.
Thanks, Homes. We are also being silenced by fake news... as the fake news propagates antifa, queers, Black LIES... and the myth called equality. EXACTAMUNDO. These hypocrites and their non-stop BeeEss. That "Equality" mantra was/is the biggest load.
When attempts to commit actual crimes occur, arrest them. Until then they get to protest and yell things that you don't like. That's what the land of the free and the home of the brave looks like in the real world. God bless America where we're free to protest the gov, at least in theory.
You mean thanks, Holmes.
Quit yer sniveling Homely.
Gary Aldrich? 'Unlimited Access : An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House'? Shocking book. Now there's Gary Byrne: it got me to thinking I wonder what all else is out there on other Presidents. So I started doing searches on some of them and that info popped up in a couple of different articles. I had heard rumors before that LBJ was a bit of a perv but I had no idea, talk about hilarious. Yup. LBJ, Bubba, Bammy ...wait till the authors of THOSE books stop getting threatened and arrested (*cough Dinesh D'Sousa*) and start getting published. Larry Sinclair had something to say about that. See a trend (D) here? And for the record, many of us know all about Dubya's relationship with "reporter" Jeff Gannon.
Hey, I looked it up. Holmes is proper and Homes is acceptable.
So you're saying, "Wait for JFK's head to explode and motorcade to be Swiss Cheese before arresting anyone." Nice plan, Magoo.
Jeff Gannon was a FReeper.
No. "Homes" as in "Homey".
Yep, remember that? Weird days...
If I saw Poppy Bush on the grassy knoll, I'd pop 'em. If you see someone about to pitch a Molotov cocktail at the WH, then it's time to take action. If they're burning candles outside the WH in protest, that's different.
Chyeah. Because Antifa's style is protesting quietly, burning candles and crying peacefully as they create that Snowflake Teddy Bear mound. You are oblivious to the war being waged by "The Resistance". How many Republicans HAVE THEY SHOT so far??
I see the boards "conservative" democrats are still pretending but keep pushing Hillary's socialism. Make Hillary lose again !!!!!!! 2020
You only want Hillary to run again because she's the only candidate that Trump can beat. Vote Adam Kokesh, get a free country
Who made the Big Decision to tell the VC American positions? When they might attack? Who made the Big Decision to escalate the VN war?? The international bankers who always profit from wars,of course. Still,THEY don't issue orders to troops or create war plans. Those are things the President and his appointees do,along with the senior military staff,who can ONLY offer suggestions,not create plans. I will always believe that this is the big reason they drove Nixon out of office. He genuinely wanted to win the war and keep the south free. The bankers wanted to keep the conflict going forever so they could profit from interest on loans and outright ownership of defense industries. The ruling political class wanted to keep the war going to keep the checks from the international bankers flowing to their foreign bank accounts.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Amazing,ain't it? Then again,why is this a surprise in world where just being born white is considered to be a moral crime against humanity?
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to pass laws making everyone equal,and still remain a free nation. Some people will ALWAYS be superior to others in some ways,and that is just the truth of humanity.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I THINK that whole thing started and is related to the "No shit,Sherlock (Holmes)" thing,and then black guys heard it that had never heard of Sherlock Holmes,and just assumed it was "Homes",as in "homie". Since you can't argue with gravity,they are now interchangeable.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I don't want her running in 2020 because she is the closest thing the Dims have to a sane candidate. And since SHE is batshit crazy,what does that say for the rest of them?
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
(Good to see you, cal.) Hear ya. They are ostensibly DEMS. (Can you believe this insanity here?? Sabotaging Trump = Supporting the 0bama-Klinton "Divide & Conquer" strategy. Does that inability to see the obvious make Yuklown seem normal? ;-) Make Hillary lose again !!!!!!! 2020 If its up LF's (D) choir (who of all people *should* know better.) To them, Hitlery, Bigfoot, or whatever Marxist-Commie the Dems and Deep-Swamp run is preferable over Trump.
Dunno what political bubble you operate out of, but here's a reminder: 1) Donald Trump was ridiculed by both parties, including the MSM. 2) THEN...TRUMP BEAT 17 GOP PUPPETS/CANDIDATES in the GOP Primary 3) THEN TRUMP BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF HITLERY. What makes that victory all the more impressive: The corrupt 0bama-Hitlery Machine controlled the Voting Machines, were aided by the Deep State saboteurs, MSM Saboteurs, International Saboteurs, and Republican Party Establishment Saboteurs. And let's NOT forget the millions of ILLEGAL-INVADER Votes! AND STILL SHE/THEY LOST! The Democrats-Marxists and Globalist-GOPe cabal of fascist crazies realize that THE only way Democrats win ANY national elections is via the filthy tactics of SABOTAGE. SMEAR. BLACKMAIL. INTIMIDATION (of any/all Republican candidates). And...BIG LIES... And despite the obvious, you guys either STILL oppose Trump or are neutral.
Who made the Big Decision to tell the VC American positions? When they might attack? Who made the Big Decision to escalate the VN war?? Still,THEY don't issue orders to troops or create war plans. Those are things the President and his appointees do,along with the senior military staff,who can ONLY offer suggestions,not create plans. AGREE. (Which obviously reinforces the notion that there was - and still is - an un-named Shadow Gummint cabal that vies to control major US policies to a great degree); This is the reason President Trump and ANY one connected to him is under siege and demonized by a MSM that is owned AND operated by Shadow Gummint subsidiaries. It p*sses them off to to no end that Trump owes them NO IOU and cowtows to no one (or to few). I will always believe that this is the big reason they drove Nixon out of office. He genuinely wanted to win the war and keep the south free. The bankers wanted to keep the conflict going forever so they could profit from interest on loans and outright ownership of defense industries. The ruling political class wanted to keep the war going to keep the checks from the international bankers flowing to their foreign bank accounts. Absolutely THE case. Nixon was Exhibit "A" of paying the price for going against the grain of the wishes/agenda of Globalists. (The Commies-Marxists also got payback for Nixon's war against them during the '50s.) So yes -- during the VN war, the profiteering Global-Elites/Shadow Gummint got their way. Paid in Blood. (Just as in the case of Iraq War 1 and 2.) But profiteering wasn't their only goal; The VN was the poison-poll that helped create division. For the first time we witnessed a virulent anti-Americanism, anti-Nationalism.
Bought into Dick & Hillary's globalist neocon revival, didn't ya?
Wait a minute... Are you taking the position that 0bama did NOT lie to us about Benghazi (happened because of a "movie") and ISIS ("JV-Team is beaten"); That 0bama did NOT weaken the US military? I'm no fan of either Cheney but please go on and tell us EXACTLY what they said they was untrue or NOT good for America in that video. TICK-TICK....
THAT so-called "World" is one in which fake Bogeymen are rooted in hate and envy. It's amazing we've gotten to this point. That is EXACTLY the charge the Left is advancing -- "Toxic Masculinity" and Toxic WHITE Ethnicity". (Self-loathing, sadomasochistic Homos, White Uber-Left Guilters, Antifa and BLM spearheading the Hate and CW2.) I've noticed in nearly EVERY TV commercials, TV show (including sports), movie, newspaper and magazine -- every bit of media -- THE WHITE MALE is being eliminated (or emasculated.) OR demonized. We ALL easily note with utter shock how this insane perception and smearing (of Whitey, of manly Men, of Conservatives, of STRAIGHTS of both genders, of Christians, of ANY and all who are in the way of a Left/NWO agenda) has gain any traction at all. They are firing every weapon they have in order to maintain their hoaxes and lies. They CAN'T do it without their 95% monopoly on Media -- both Mainstream & Social. And of course, Academia.
The Innocence of Muslims movie was HORRIBLE, but it was the Bush/Obama trained CIA ISIS students, that took out their community organizer instructors in Benghazi. That Cheney video is a bunch of lying neocon fear mongering propaganda, just like Trump speeches. Your Saudi-Israel occupied US government is the #1 State sponsor of terrorism, aka the D&R party of Jihad. Insane Suicidal Zombies? (Who want the rest of us to die and suffer WITH them??) They have been convinced via Leftist-Demonic indoctrination that they (and the rest of us) are "guilty" of real and imagined "crimes". (A "penance" of sorts.) It is a massive psychosis (aided and abetted largely by a Marxist/America-hating academia that's steamrolled the young, creating a large chunk of society that now NOT ONLY justifies sadomasochism, self-loathing, and self-immolation, but worships at its warped altar. This is why we in the USA (as well as the West) are doomed to eventually clash and settle this war once and for all.
Ok, that's good. You're getting closer... That Cheney video is a bunch of lying neocon fear mongering propaganda, just like Trump speeches. Your Saudi-Israel occupied US government is the #1 State sponsor of terrorism, aka the D&R party of Jihad. So...you ARE saying 0bama Inc. did NOT weaken the US military? And 0bama Inc. did NOT lie? And the 0bama-Klinton agenda was NOT to sabotage and destroy the US by a Thousand Cuts? Please get up and move to the back of the classroom. Waaaay to the back. No wait...just leave the auditorium altogether and report to the nurse. Truth & Reality doesn't exist in your Universe. Trump is NOT GOPe. NOT Establishment. NOT part and parcel of "Politics-as-usual". Trump is as close to "one of us" as we'll ever have in the Oval Office.
You left out the Dubya and Trump terrorists. It's a team effort, don't shortchange the winner Donald. He BEAT Hillary, so he's #1 terrorist in chief now! Trump won, deal with it.
You sir, are irredeemably insane. Oh. And you obviously hold a Black Belt in Idiocy. Please refill you medication. And ask the duty nurse to add an extra layer of wall-padding. (you're welcome)
I've noticed the same thing, especially the emasculation part, although not in every show or commercial. Just many of them.
