Short report-back of "B'more for Palestine" event @ 2640 1/6/09

A brief report-back from the "Bmore for Palestine" event at 2640 space 1/6/09.
Last night at 2640, nearly 80 people turned out for a night of music, poetry, education, support and solidarity for the utter crisis that has been imposed upon the Palestinian population living within the Gaza Strip. The event was organized and held in reaction to the most recent Israeli assault and attack upon the Palestinians living within that city. As one attendee mentioned, "It is not a war... how is it a war when bombs are being dropped on a population of people in a prison?" This attack has created a massive outpouring of support and solidarity from all over the globe, demonstrations and events have been held to not only show the Palestinians that they are not alone in their struggle, but to also show those powers and institutions behind this brutal attack that the Palestinians are not the only group that struggles against them.

Even with extremely short notice and quick planning (only a few days), along with a bone chilling rain that soaked the evening, a great turn out with great warmth and energy attended the event. The evening was hosted and MC'd by Dave Zirin, Sports Writer, Radical Historian, and Activist. Chants of Bella Ciao were sung by a Kurdish Duo, Koma Agir, that performs Kurdish resistance music, anti-war toe tapping folk songs sung by Baltimore's Ryan Harvey, fist pumping from the rhymes of Baltimore's Son of Nun, and the potent poems of Palestinian Sabrina Da Witch all brought energy to the room. Along with the the music there was a 20 min. open mic that gave a soapbox to upcoming actions and events, reciting of the influential Mahmoud Darwish poetry, and calls to donate money to a Gazan hospital.

All and all people from all over the spectrum of social strata attended with constructive anger and compassion. while enjoying and sharing food, drink, and music people connected to show their support, a support and sympathy that does not manifest or root itself in a paternalistic or sheer charitable way. It is a support that finds similarity by common struggles, common enemies, and common oppressions.

Hopefully similar events can be reproduced with as much excitement, energy, and compassion for Baltimore's Gazas, for the prisoners and casualties of Baltimore's wars and for the social injustice that faces not only our distant neighbors, but our immediate neighbors as well.

Patrick J Fitzgerald,

Jeff Fisher writing here. I got word last night that you are now investigating Mayor Michael Nutter and his connection to the Madoff Ponzie Scheme. I have screen shot this like you taught us so well.

I will send the screen shots to Roger Rancourt and Tom Heneghan and even Siebol Edmunds plus the entire Justice League. Everyone see how great Patrick is in making true justice come to fruition in America. Remember the Franklin Grand Jury. I Jeff Fisher can testify from Philadelphia also.

For more info on Patrick and I and Siebol Edmonds and John Peeler and the end of the Bush - Clinton Crime Syndicate Google Tom Heneghan and then go to the ultimate blogspot that is protected by God forever.

Patritck is fantastic and he will bring down all the dirty conspirators to BayPoint School and will get help from Interpol regarding AIPAC. To see the court case that even Patrick helped put together Google Jeff Fisher Show N Tell Remember on the 9th and 16th of January a military American Patriot will be testifying also about Senator Barack Obama and his real name and his birthplace that took place in Kenya, not Hawaii.

Yesterday also a Naval Officer Jewish War Veteran went to DC to hand out the flyer 'NAZIS for JESUS' Oh that flyer has great googles as well.

Nobody messes with Tom Henegan and his sidekick Jeff Bootstraps Fisher and thinks they can get by.

AL GORE is the Duley Elected President of the United States of America. MY GOD 35 black teenagers murdered horrifically at BAYPOINT SCHOOL. 27 innocent African Americans, Six Haitians and two wonderful Mexicans.

Now everyone also visit Jeff Fisher World Peace Trailer and make it viral.

I will of course as Ezra Folson of Interpol, Genocide, War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity called me. The Energizer Bunny who just keeps on going and going and going.

As I say Praise Jesus the Christ forever and ever and ever and watch America become the Shining Beacon on the hill that all world-wide will want to emulate.

Now remember that 9-11 and the Iraq War and so much more were planned at BayPoint School and never forget Hillary Clinton and her two phone calls to BayPoint School in 1997 and the coverup of treasounous Marc Rich.

Everyone who wants a copy of the email "Queen Hillary" write to Jim Lowery at freedomofrights-AT-gmail.com

If someone emails it to me I will post it wonderful Indymedia.org

I am now signing autographs in Philadelphia every once in a while.

Write to me at JeffFisherCivilRights-AT-gmail.com

NO MORE TEASON IN AMERICA

I loved the movie the Fifth Element.

The scene that Bruce has with her at the end is hot!!!!!!!

I also like Bruce Willis in the Die Hard movies and I have always enjoyed Demi Moore.

My favorite is the Seventh Sign. Yes I will die for him. PRAISE JESUS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

2000 YEARS AGO THE JEWS AND ROMANS KILLED JESUS. GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!!

I also enjoyed The Planet of the Apes both old and new and the Television series and I like Charleton Heston also believe in the Right to Bear ARMS.
NOW IMPEACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Big and Burly
Prissy come to Philly now and watch a real American Patriot tell even the crooked cops to fuck off and follow American Justice not the shit that exists in Pro Likud Zionistic Controled KAzarrian Jew Israel. Remember I write Peace Plans that makes world peace.
