OFFLINE ILLUMINATION

"Live from the Democrat National Convention (July 26)"
By Roy Lisker

Here is a map of the "Security Zones" around the Convention center in Boston. The "orange" area on the map has been likened to an internment camp. I don't know where the city of Boston is coming from to allow this thing-its mayor is a Democrat, but of course the governor is Republican, and the state capital is Boston itself. http://www.blackteasociety.org/propaganda/DetailMap.pdf

At some point I will head up to make an inspection of this provocation, which it obviously is.

There was a rally yesterday on Boston Common, a spectrum of radical groups from hard-core Trotskyists to Quakers. Lots of literature of course. Several groups had provided hundreds of picket signs with a wide variety of slogans. I picked one which calls for banning military recruiters from public schools and opposition to the draft.

Around 1 o'clock along the line a group of about half a dozen anti-abortion religious fundamentalists claimed a place along the walkways. They'd come with huge photographs of mangled fetuses, etc. For some reason the place they chose to set up their display was right next to the Sparticists! Within 10 minutes they were being mobbed and screamed at by the members of this vestige of the far-off Left. I along with several others shouted "Free Speech! Free Speech!" for all the good it did. There were no other incidents; all of us were afraid the cops might use this sort of thing to close down the rally. Memories of the 60's, when groups like TAWF, the Sparticists and the Progressive Labor wrecked one demonstration after another.

That's when I chose to take my sign and wander about the rest of Boston Common (No -one else was doing this, imagination is in short supply at these things, or, more accurately, conformity is just as strong here as in the rest of the society)

At the entrance to the Park Street subway stop I stopped to watch a song-and-dance show by a troupe calling itself the "Missile Dick Chicks" ! Dressed in garish flimsys heavy on stripes and red, white and blue, a group of about 8 young women were dancing about with plastic missiles sticking out from the groin area, while a man disguised in a George Bush mask cracked a Texas bull whip over their heads. Outrageously funny, with words to match.

Then a reporter from a local TV station came over to interview me. I was wearing my "Ferment" t-shirt, a baseball cap from Vieques Island, and buttons stating "No War" and "Vote for Nader".

She gave me a full interview, I gave her a copy of Ferment, and signed a release form. Portions of it may appear on some local TV station, I forgot to ask which, but it may be the very good Cambridge Community TV, which broadcasts Democracy Now and similar programs.

More to come from the unfolding of the DNC extravaganza...
