Occupy Boston Occupies Israeli Consulate

A flotilla with as many as a dozen activists – including Code Pink’s Kit Kittredge- was bound to Gaza bearing humanitarian aide on November 4th. The Israeli military boarded seized the ship, and took all of the activists into custody. Occupy Boston then marched on the Israeli Consulate in solidarity

7 Arrested today at the Armed Services Committee Meeting

There is a media blackout on this. Please spread this as far and wide as possible.

They're scared shitless of us.

The Freedom Plaza Protests so far:

We marched to the Chamber of Commerce with banners, and they freaked out and shut the building down.

We went to protest the drones being celebrated at the Smithsonian Air & Space, and they freaked out, maced us, and shut the building down. 

We chanted and held banners at the Hart Senate Offices, and they freaked out and shut the building down.

We put up our hands as peace signs while veterans held up banners decrying the horrors of war during the Armed Services Committee meeting, and they freaked out, arrested people, falsely charged a 22 year old girl with "assault" and shut most of the building down.

We joined a pastor as he tried to close out his Wells Fargo bank account at a DC Wells Fargo location, and they freaked out and shut the building down.

We are nonviolent. All we do is tell the truth, and they're scared shitless of us. We are winning.

The Smithsonian pepperspray incident

Here is footage of the spraying as it happened from OpEdNews.com

h/t @CodePinkAlert

And here are a few mainstream media stories that need correction:

Fox News reports that "At least one" person was pepper sprayed. Not the case. 12-15 people were sprayed.

This article from the Washington Post takes the Smithsonian at their word that protesters were told that they could not enter carrying banners. That is false.

The protesters were not told anything. I was inside the museum when this happened. After the first three people entered the vestibule, the security guards rushed the doors, started shoving people, and the use of pepper spray was almost immediate. The protesters were told NOTHING. They were simply met with force, and sprayed with mace.

I also recieved word that the New York Times article on this story first took the Smithsonian's word that "only one" protester was sprayed. We talked with them, and it was later changed to "12-15". Since last night, they've dropped any mention of pepperspray from the article altogether. The New York Times is doing a lot of story changing-- about the kettling on the Brooklyn Bridge, and now about this incident with the pepper spray at the smithsonian air and space museum.
