Demonstrators prepared for Baxter protest

Thousands of demonstrators will converged at Port Augusta in preparation for this weekend's expected protest at the Baxter detention centre.

The streets around Port Augusta are filled with dozens of demonstrator's vehicles including buses, trucks vans and loudspeakers.

Around 900 arrived this morning and were briefed to lay out and paint large banners.

Estimates of the number of protesters expected to converge at Baxter range from 3,000 to 20,000.

Police said they would be there however so far there is no sign of police.

Many are expected to arrive by bus tomorrow but a Port Augusta protester, Kim Smithers, says some residents say its about time and she has got a simple message for the protesters, "Bring your dog".

South Australia's Premier Mike Rann announced violence and that means his Government is prepared to be violent. It also means they will provoke and pre-empt demonstrators at Baxter over the weekend similar to tactics used by NSW police.

Books Not Bombs suffered from the same humiliation when violent police wound up demonstrators by surrounding them and confining them to a space and trapping them so they couldn't escape.

THE DOVE: Police not violence! Beware the Wolf in sheep's clothing. That's right the undercover police, prepared to start something they themselves wanted to finish.

SOOTHSAYERS OR SLAYERS? 'Imperialists'NSW Police Force

LATE last year the NSW Force set up protesters by placing an ad on the mainstream media news network professing that there was going to be violence at the peaceful demonstrations against WTO and now the war on Iraq. See link below: NSW Police incite violent protests at WTO meeting.

The violent spectacle began at Town Hall and resulted in two police officers and a number of protesters being injured. At least 45 mostly teenage participants were arrested including a boy aged 10 after the rally erupted into violence about 12.30pm.

Assistant Police Commissioner Dick Adams said it was clear a large proportion of protesters had come to the rally "for the express purpose of fighting police."

"We had a group of people who went to Town Hall [for] nothing other than to incite trouble," he said.

But that is what Adams said the night before and now guess what his prediction come true but was it a prediction?

Our kids are smart not stupid wake up Adams and grow up you fool and tell your boss our kids are smart. Not just that they should get a pat on the back and be proud of themselves for demonstrating for peace. Clutching placards condemning Prime Minister John Howard and US President George W. Bush, a 2000-strong group of students many wearing their school uniforms gathered for the protest at midday."No war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war, no war no could be heard as it echoed along the street" said, GKCNN undercover reporter Don't Setmeup.

Setmeup said, "Students burnt an American flag before moving on to Hyde Park, where scores of protesters cavorted in the Archibald Fountain. Hundreds of police officers surrounded the exits to the park, ensuring the crowd was contained within its boundaries." After leaving the park, the marchers moved through the Pitt St Mall and Castlereagh St, before congregating outside Mr Howard's Phillip St offices where they were divided and locked into a space. Told not to move and jailed into position. There, the protesters hurled further insults while as least 50 police, including mounted officers, tried to contain them.

Australian Arabic community leaders condemned the violent clashes but rejected police claims the perpetrators were Middle Eastern men.

Coalition force 'surprised' by stiff resistance for food aid

About 4,000-5,000 allied forces have launched what they vowed would be an all-out blitz. "We're going straight through that city," a US Marine officer, who asked not to be named, said. "It will be a Hail Mary with guns ablazing."

Hypocrisy not Democracy? No Blood for Oil!

Most Australians undecided on Iraq: PM?

Channel nine and Sixty Minutes? Well Kerry Packer's farts smelt like a dead dog after the peace demonstration. A demonstration like no other against war in Australia that carried an everlasting freshness like splashing water on your face.

Sixty Minutes was defeated before its propaganda monster could be unleashed.

We want optimism and like millions around the world, a quarter of a million NSW voters crossed the line for peace on the globe.

The Prime Minister John Howard believes most Australians are still undecided about whether they support military action against Iraq [Murdering innocent people for their resources].

He wants to scare all the children out of their lives like a mad professor gone wrong.

Howard has refused to back down on the threat of war despite hundreds of thousands of Australians rallying against it. The question is why?

When you Howard have raised a family. When you Howard are told that the family is the fundamental group unit of society, then the suburb then the state then the country then the globe and yes Howard, then the Universe, the greatest power.

What about the people who couldn't get out to demonstrate along side those who could?

Australians who worked, who played sport and those who had other commitments.

Australians from all walks of life took the streets over the weekend in demonstrations against a possible war with Iraq.

The Prime Minister says he still does not believe they represent the majority view.

Howard has told Channel 9 most Australians realise the need to deal with Iraq.

"The one constant in all the polls is that people think that Saddam Hussein has got dangerous weapons. They don't believe him and they think something ought to be done," he said.

[The corporate media never helped some people think that Saddam had WMD?]

HoWARd: "I don't think the mob, to use that vernacular, has quite made up its mind on this issue and it can't really make up its mind until we know what all the alternatives are."

The Prime Minister concedes the majority of Australians would prefer the involvement of the United Nations but he is still not ruling out acting in coalition with the United States and Great Britain should the UN Security Council fail to draft a new resolution.

Opposition leader Simon Crean maintains a UN mandate is the only option.

"This just isn't about the question of how we deal with the disarmament if Iraq. It's how we deal with international conflict in the future. Deal with it through the UN, not unilaterally," he said. He says Mr Howard is clearly out of touch with the community.
