Numbers at Camp Casey: Is this the best we could do?

Two weeks ago Guy James reported thousands of Americans were in Crawford, this was on the first weekend after Cindy and DeDe began the stand. The next week saw 212 acres of prime space slip from our grasp. Now we’re stuck with one acre, hardly enough for The Revolution. This last weekend had Steve Earle, James McMurty and Joan Baez headline… yet it wasn’t advertised until it was too late. WHY???? Why are people still camping in a ditch with fire ants, others are sleeping in cars or renting hotel rooms? This situation is not encouraging more people to come.
Why did the Ukraine have money to fund a huge tent city? It was self contained and they had no need for riot cops. People without money could work in the tent city… They were peaceful and the riot cops stood down, and they got their Revolution. Why hasn’t anyone on our side come forward to rent a huge parcel?
Why can’t we set up a tent city like the Boy Scouts did just last month?
They’ve only set up 200 crosses at Camp Casey II - I’d bet that if we set up all 1869 it would be so moving that someone in Crawford would volunteer to leave it up permanently.
Why are activists spending time cooking and cleaning etc… they should be spend most of their time building (tent city, signs, more crosses), educating the media, doing something pro-active to get more numbers there. They should be doing everything imaginable to get the truth covered by the mainstream media, like making banners or flyers with things like, “The Downing Street Memo is equivalent to the Watergate Tapes” and placing them everywhere, so any mainstream newscast from Camp Casey will have something in the background. Beware of ineffective signs… misinformation agents will gladly volunteer for the task then make it illegible, or put bad slogans, etc…
Who is telling the hundreds of activists what to do? I read that Ann Wright announced that people will be leaving Aug 31st to rally support for the Sept 24th protest in DC… is this what one does to build momentum now in Crawford? (is Bush even leaving the 31st? Labor Day weekend is right after, why not stay thru Sept 5th? …. And if we had numbers, why not stay until the 15th when Lynn Woolsey has called a hearing on Iraq. If we split up for Sept 24th, then there’s no pressure on Congress for Woolsey’s hearing, but if we have thousands still protesting in Crawford, that’s some extra pressure.)
I posit that Ann Wright and many others are agents. If you haven’t been following along this comes as out of the blue, but i’ve been watching closely- and if you don’t know then you need to know- Cointelpro infiltrated anti-war groups in the 70’s and they’re doing it again today- ie- activists: stop listening and doing everything they tell you. Think for yourselves! Of course if you question their logic, they’ll tell you you’re just being divisive- just what they said when we questioned Kerry’s pro-war policies last year.
Bingo- it’s the Kerry people and DLCers like Joe Trippi that have come in and done damage control for the establishment. See Cindy’s 1 min commercial at meetwithcindy.org or gsfp.org - she says Bush lied, but there’s no proof, it comes across as just a grieving mom… I believe Ray McGovern was in Crawford when they filmed this, he coulda, shoulda been in it a bit speaking about the DSM- but that would have made the commercial too powerful.
