IVAW

National Archives Protest 3-19-08 ½: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38tryJyMnVY&feature=related

IVAW team participates in the “frozen moment” at Grand Central Station in D.C. where hundreds of activists showed up to “freeze” all over the station, providing a mind jarring display for all passers by.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27HeF51Gpmk

Geoff Millard, IVAW chapter President for D.C. explains the “freeze” action to FOX reporter in an interview that was unlikely to have been aired.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oydQbn3e9T0

Just prior to March 19th step off towards the Justice Department and the White House, Bill Perry describes how we are trying to reach the American Public, and let them know that the reasons for our impending economic collapse are due to greed and corruption from within our own business and political leaders.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Flcfct00cjA

Bill Perry calls cadence on march to the Very White House on March 19th, 2008.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X801E7gqXJU

Overseas reporter gets the story as about 200 Veterans march towards White House to demand the arrest of George Bush and Dick Cheney. Though some domestic news reporters and camera teams were present, not a single mention of this event went out via main stream media. There was a total media black out of this event.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEFvWj15las

IVAW members seize National Archives Building in front of hundreds of surprised museum visitors. Response from visitors including teachers, students, vacationers was highly positive though there were a few horrified faces in the crowd. IVAW read the terms of our Citizens Arrest Warrant and stood their ground for 90 minutes. They were allowed to leave without being arrested in one of the most spectacular CD events I’ve ever witnessed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxGX4QdURCo

Squadron13’s “Citizens Arrest Warrant for Bush and Cheney” is read for the first time in D.C. in front of a very enthusiastic crowd of museum visitors at the National Archives Museum on March 19, 2008.

“No Justice at the Justice Department”, as Veterans in front of the Justice Department in D.C. demand that Bush and Cheney be arrested and ask Homeland Security for their assistance on March 19th, 2008.

“March of the Dead” in D.C. on March 19, 2008. These folks cast a spell where ever they went. Imagine this procession in a Mall. GREAT action - LOUSY video! Do this with your own local activists at home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaw44MnkSok

One of the many CD actions that took place around D.C. on March 19 was this, here showing the remains of “blood” splattered all over the street front of Bechtel offices, as workers clean it up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39S7YEMV9Vw

“Lost Again!” With all our D.C. actions completed, the Squadron13 team starts to head home and finds itself lost again!
