Activism: Protestors Sock It To CIA Director At Penn
Good morning my friends. I bring good news. The kids are all right. Our youngsters gave the Deep State Rep, John Brennan (Unelected Bipartisan Party), whatfor yesterday as he was speechifying away to drum up the case for more, and more profitable wars.
More below.
Bryan Adams, if you want to censor our cussing young people :=)
Here is the introduction to an incredulous RWNJ report from The Daily Pennsylvanian:

Less than 15 minutes after CIA Director John Brennan was introduced, protesters interrupted the event, chanting “drones kill kids” and “U.S. out of the Middle East.”
Friday’s moderated discussion with Brennan at the Penn Museum was shut down early following repeated interruptions by protesters inside the building — at least one of whom was Penn affiliated — who spoke out against the United States government’s use of drones. Several were escorted out of the building.
After the first instance of protest, Penn Law Dean Theodore Ruger returned to the stage to explain Penn’s freedom of expression policy. However, his voice was quickly drowned out as protesters continued to yell over him.
Ruger and Penn professor and moderator Marjorie Margolies both asked if the protesters would like to hear the director’s response to their chanting.
“Are you trying to silence him?” Ruger asked...
One protester yelled “drones kill kids” and “black lives matter.” Another protester chanted “murderers.”
They continued to chant as they were escorted out of the auditorium. One woman yelled at security officials to take their hands off of her as she was pushed towards the door.
Hah, hah, hah!
“Are you trying to silence him?”
"No, we want him to play patty-cakes with us; instead of playing the whole world as patsies."

Peace be with us, if we shut down the deep state, (disclaimer: woah, big job that :=)

I think this group of young people are pretty damn smart.
When they reject the establishment by 80%, it shows they're doing their research and know which side of their bread has butter.

I so agree, dkmich :=) Our job is simply to assist our youth in
restoring sanity to the human universe. We progressives who are entering the metallic age (silver in the hair, gold in the teeth, and lead in the arse :=) could do our activism by giving them more tools, ideas, history, resources, logistical support, etc. The youth will get it done, if we just would watch where they are and help them.
Big TY for your comment and insight. You really do see this clearly, in sharp relief, and you keep your eye on the ball. It's real good to meet the thinkers here on c99.

Drones = Terrorism
Ahh Drones.
The day I truly realized I wasn't a "real Democrat" was when the so-called "Progressives" started preaching the worth of drones.
We live in a society that calls weapons - peace keepers.

same as it ever was
It's not like we don't fetishize weapons...
...much.
You keep using that word...
It’s not terrorism if the murder weapons
cost millions and provided jobs in your congressional district.

You know we didn't really pay 50 million just for a pipe,
Don't you? That includes all the development costs, the research, the infrastructure to put all that together. Plus, think of the great jobs, union jobs, I'll point out. You want to cost those UA plumbers their jobs...see those jobs go to Mexico?

Well, they showed him didn't they?
The powers that be will surely get in line and straighten up now won't they?
Oh wait, they're not dead yet. And until the penalty is death and most of them are corpses, the rest won't ever behave themselves. Sociopaths only understand violence. Ghandi even said his tactics wouldn't have worked on the nazi's.
So glad that 80% of the kids these days understand the truth. So did my 60's generation until they castrated themselves. Only the Weathermen truly understood.
But hey, they really showed that CIA guy the what's what didn't they?
Meanwhile, the human race barrels towards extinction. When are you going to fight for your future?
Great points, Scott. If we progs help our youth, they would
make every single public venue where the buggers show up a no-go zone. imagine a country where the deep state cockroaches can't show their faces in public without blowback. Work hard on creating blowback and good things start happening for the 99% Cheers mate,
