CIA Recruiters Expelled from UCSB Campus
Posted November 16th, 2007 by Andrew
According to an e-mail received by facilitator@tacomasds.org, this direct action was inspired by recent actions in Olympia by many activists, including Tacoma and Olympia SDS chapters.
The CIA was scheduled to hold an “infosession” for students interested in jobs with the agency. Right as the session began, four activists entered the room and began to demonstrate waterboarding, a torture technique used by the CIA. After only one minute of the waterboarding demonstration the room was plunged into chaos by a group calling itself the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army. The Rebel Clowns, joined by several dozen antiwar organizers took over the meeting room and began passing out information on the CIA’s use of illegal torture techniques and literature related to the agency’s long history of subverting foreign governments, assassinating foreign leaders and subverting democracy.

Port of Tacoma trials continue
Posted September 17th, 2007 by AndrewDefendants in the Port of Tacoma trial have another mesmerizing, spell-binding hearing this week! Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday...at 1:30 pm in the Tacoma County-City building in room 233, but let's be honest it changes every single time we appear. It would be greatly appreciated if you would come (with all of your friends) and show public support for these supposed social deviants. Hope to see you there.
