IKR. I thought the kid had it for sure.

Is it psyop or real?
Did they knowingly release it if it's real?

#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #1

All right, all you activists:
‍
It’s been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of #OccupyWallStreet, laying siege to NYC’s Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world.
The Occupy anniversary arrives September 17th, 2020. And it may be the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment — a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience.
The why hardly needs recitation. Because, for these nine years, the shadows have only grown longer. Inequality has soared. Not a single Wall Street CEO spent a night in jail for his role in the 2008 financial meltdown. Politicians and corporate criminals continue to savage the public trust with impunity. And all the while, this howling void of a president, his sins too many to name, sits smugly atop a corona death-toll that may surpass two-hundred thousand Americans by Christmas.
It’s time again for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we and tens of thousands of our fellow citizens will stream into Lafayette Square, in Washington. D.C.
We will lay siege to the White House. And we will sustain it for exactly fifty days. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege.
A siege only works if it is sustained. We witnessed this — the multiplying power of a strategic occupation — nine years ago. You dig in, hold your ground, and the tension accumulates, amplifies, goes global.
Fifty days — September 17th to November 3rd.
Let us once again summon the sweet, revolutionary nonviolence that was our calling card in Zuccotti Park.
#WhiteHouseSiege will electrify the U.S. election season — and it doesn’t stop there. Drawing wind from #MeToo, #BLM, #ExtinctionRebellion, and protests against Trump’s lethal bungling of coronavirus, we’ll inspire a global movement of systemic change — a Global Spring — a cultural heave towards a true world order.
What is our one demand? We want to collaborate with you — brainstorm tactics with you — spark a revolution with you. We need your voice of wisdom and expertise to pull off a radically democratic toneshift in our politics. If you would like to either contribute or just shoot the shit, drop us a line at blackspotcollective@adbusters.org. Or submit your ideas to us using the form below.
First, let's get our tactics in order. Then, let's screw up our courage, stuff our backpacks with the tools of nonviolent revolution, and head to Lafayette Square with intelligence to match our spirits — starting September 17th.

Jammers, citizens, activists:
‍
‍There are many ways to think about this #WhiteHouseSiege. Is it a beautiful jam? A civic exorcism? A spectacular sayonara party for Dear Donald? All of the above, absolutely — but let us not ignore the dark forces also at work.
Time is short. Shall we rely on William Barr to interpret the law justly, in the interest of all Americans? On the police or military to drag Trump from the White House when he loses? On the grace and civility of the alt-right hordes and white supremacists? Of course not. By now it’s clear that Trump and his sycophants will do anything to prevent Joe Biden from taking office, including crippling the Postal Service. There is no limit to their cynicism, no end to their corruption.
That’s why it’s critical for us the people to show our strength . . . to be there in the hundreds of thousands, invigilators of our great democracy, to remind this authoritarian regime of our significance, our will, and our power. The survival of the American experiment — the American spirit — requires nothing less.
We will not let Donald Trump steal the election!
Phase One runs from Occupy's ninth anniversary, September 17th, to Election Day — a fifty-day siege on the White House. This is the #WhiteHouseSiege. And, if need be, we will be ready to reconvene at any time after that to ensure the peaceful transition of power.
So, over the next few weeks, screw up your courage, stuff your backpack with the tools of nonviolent revolution, and bring intelligence to match your enthusiasm. Together we can resuscitate a sick and dying nation, reawaken its better angels, and rekindle the true essence of democracy.
If you want to brainstorm, contribute, or just have a chat, drop us a line at blackspotcollective@adbusters.org.
See you in Lafayette Square on September 17th.

Alright you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,
Trump is trying to steal the election . . . it’s got many of us pretty rattled . . . and things could turn very ugly very quickly as November 3rd approaches.
Lawyers are already in court, mounting pre-emptive strikes and preparing for the scorched-earth scenarios likely to come. Meanwhile white supremacists are waiting in the wings, spoiling for a violent showdown.
You can laugh, but the possibility of a civil war breaking out sometime next year is no joke.
With a lot of luck, it may not come to that. Biden, polling well ahead right now, could win by a landslide. Trump may then fade quietly into history.
But if the election is close and Trump refuses to leave, then who is going to make him go? Barr’s Justice Department? The Supreme Court? The D.C. police? The Marines?
If the mechanisms of American democracy fail then it will fall on us, the people, to set things right . . . and to do that, we need more than viral memes, frenetic Tweeting and fervent calls to action — We need a fucking strategy!
So . . . all you #METOOers, #BLM activists, Extinction Rebels, Sunrisers, and CodePinks out there: it's time for us to start talking to each other and coordinating our actions.
Together we can organize pop-up sieges at federal buildings in dozens of cities . . . maybe even launch a national art project to decorate the streets with stunning visual memes.
And we could make sure that activists turn up in Washington, D.C. in ever increasing numbers as the election approaches.
Lafayette Square may be cordoned off and military police will doubtless be there in full force. But what can they do if hundreds of thousands of us turn up all over the nation's capital, day after day, and start playing totally non-violent improvisational jazz . . . much like we did in Zuccotti Park nine years ago?
#WhiteHouseSiege has an ominous ring to it. But it could turn out to be the most beautiful, festive, and effective uprising that America has seen since the Revolution.
Together, with history watching, we can electrify the election season — and win.

Activists, artists, musicians:
What is the #WhiteHouseSiege?
A beautiful jam. A civic exorcism. A ritual, perfectly timed. A spectacular sayonara for Dear Donald. A rekindling of the embers of American democracy. A howl of moral outrage. And the most beautiful, festive, and effective uprising the Union has seen since the Revolution.
What is our strategy, exactly?
We play jazz.
Jazz, the gift Black Americans gave to the world — we honor it as our muse. Its structure, improvised. Its soul, profound. And its message, one of togetherness and love.
Jazz, said the great drummer Art Blakey, washes away the dust of everyday life. There’s no more urgent moment.
In honor of this revolutionary American musical tradition, we’re calling on every saxophonist, drummer, clarinetist, trumpeter, flutist — any and everyone who can blow a blue note — to grab your instrument, go out, and start playing on every street corner of the Republic.
And with that beautiful noise rising throughout the cities of America, it will be time to move your feet. Bring courage and wits — and your musical chops — to Washington, D.C. There, on September 17th, we commence the #WhiteHouseSiege, a jazz-inspired demonstration of alarm at the desecration of the Union under Trump and his attempts to steal the election.
And it’s not only Washington. In front of federal buildings across the nation, pop-up sieges will arise, raising a fist in solidarity with the #WhiteHouseSiege.
What does it take to resuscitate a sick and dying nation, reawaken its better angels, and reignite the unifying spirit of democracy? A carnival of joy is just the thing.
Our offensive, then, has three fronts—pick yours. Whether on the street corners, before the federal buildings, or at the White House — it’s down to us to strike up a riff, make ourselves heard and set the tone for Nov. 3.
America doesn't know what it's about to hear.
See (and hear) you starting September 17th.
For the Wild,
