I just got back from a 4 hour drive from D.C. after a long day of marching, protesting, and having diaglouged with hippies, neo-cons, police, protestors, fighters in global consciousness, and just humans who fit no label.
I arrived in Washington D.C. with my 2 roomates and good friend at around 1 PM. Prior to arriving to the white house we took the metro from takoma to get to metro station. During the train ride there was a woman on the train talking to really no one specifically, but just out loud about how Bush screwed her family over. She seemed a little idealistic and skitzophrenic, but that is totally understandable considering the ordeal she encountered. So naturally people were tuning her out as she was not being articulate and providing solid information.
We arrived about 30 minutes before the marching began at the white house. There were thousands of people gathered at the white house with mobs of media, police, protestors, vendors, and observers. Also, just as a sidenote I have never been to a protest/rally let alone in D.C. in my life. What prompted me was impeachbush.org and just feeling fed up with the war crimes him and his office have engaged in. Bush legalizing Mountain top removal just pushed me over the edge and made me want to be there.
So I had made a sign with the website, consciousmedianetwork.com and other quotes/and the generic "Impeach Bush and cheney for war crimes: no more blood for oil:"
The Marching began and it was the most beautiful experience I have had since last weekend when I felt my kundalini rise. There were several chants/cheers like " What do we want.........Peace.......when do we want it.......Now". "We the people united........Can never be defeated". "1 2 3 4... we don't want your fucking war 5 6 7 8 stop the violence stop the hate". "All we are sayingggggggg.........is give peace a chance" There were moments where I completely just lost myself into the crowd's energy and yelled at the top of my lungs chants and how I felt. As we were marching there were observers on the sidewalk, and some of them were yelling at us and held up signs that said, "Lets bomb Iran" or "support our troops in Iraq". I looked at as much of them as I could directly in the eye and said "No more blood for oil" or "bring our troops home" and also other things that I just felt in the moment.
As I arrived at the Capitol there was a wide variety of people I encountered.
There were the old school hippies wanting to live the reminiscence of vietnam days. At one point me and my friend were arguing with these Neo-cons who clearly just came from a KKK rally in Ohio. I locked eyes with this one neo-con and I think he felt my energy because I asked him "why are you here?". He replied saying "Your too young to know". At which point I replied "To know what". I think he was baffeled because he said "Exactly your to young to know". So there was definitely some hate/war mongorers present who wanted to take some of the attention away from the real surge of emotions and energy directed towards the capitol.
Also, there was the younger generation of hippies or free spirits with there beautiful dreads and unkempt manner. They had no solutions or any type of articulation in regards to solutions to end the war besides just yelling at the officers who were inside the capitol's area. I still felt there energy and it didn't matter because they were still there showing how they felt towards Bush and his lack of respect of humanity. Honestly throughout most of the march up to the point where police where pushing us back by the fence at the white house I was also joining in just yelling out how I felt. However, I felt this way just an expression and that this wasn't really solving anything although it made me feel amazing to let it all out with everyone who shared the same views.
So I began to walk around and network and exchange and absorb information people were spreading. There were so many people with leaflets, websites, networks, and other sources where they interacted with the people.
There were kids, babies, dogs, little girls/boys, adults, sexy hippie women, old hippie dudes, neo-cons, college political protestors, hate mongorers, media, police, Iraq war veterans, journalists, crazy people, and so many others all gathered at the capitol expressing how they felt. Although I didn't agree with some of the people there it was still beautiful and in some cases entertaining to see them express it. LOL there was one point where I engaged one of the neo-cons and grabbed out and put my hand on his shoulder and said " It's okay I still love you and you are my brother" He was soooo pissed and said "Don't you put your hands on me".
I was apart of this massive protest rally that occured to have Bush impeached. It was beyond words and I became emotional at certain points because I really felt the crowd's energy during the march. I mean there was this one guy who didn't know me and I shared water with him and there was another point when I was right in the front of fence by the capitol where they were pepper maseing people and we all stood our ground together. However, after all of this I started to realize that we need more than just this protest we need actual practical ways of thinking this through. If we want the war in Iraq to stop it won't just happen with people gathering together (although it's a great way to exchange and absorb information). There has to be a diaglouge exchange between middleeastern countries where they can resolve there differences. This is the only way to stop war and violence over there. We cannot just police the world and expect all wars/violence to end, especially since we are the cause of a lot of it.
Just to end my long winded experience I have been noticing a lot of symbols lately after listening to Michael tsarion and others. I noticed SO MANY Masonic symbols at the white house and in D.C. In fact I saw at least 2 "Masonic temples" when I was there. Once you realize symbols you start to decode the world you live in. Just last week I was in Washington square park where you can see a huge statue of George washington and his clear Masonic image. I will be posting about my NYC shamanic circle experience I had Friday September 14th and last week's experience where I felt my Kundalini rise later. I would write about them now but I am so physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. Thanks for reading this and if anyone else attended or knows someone who attended the march please post about it here. Peace.
