If Bombing of Iran Begins..Public Event 4:30pm until 6:00pm Pedestrian footbridge over 35W just so [View all]

Pedestrian footbridge over 35W just south of Minneapoli s (cross street of the frontage road on east side of 35 W is near 24th)


There are many mainstream media reports speculating that Israel (or Israel and the US ) will launch a synchronized bombing and cyber attack on Iran sometime in the upcoming weeks. Yesterday, leaked information of "Bibi's Secret Plan" for such a war was published: http:// original.antiwar.com/ richard-silverstein/2012/ 08/15/ bibis-secret-war-plan/. Obviously national security and US military experts are very worried about the prospect of beginning this even more catastrophic war than the prior US wars on Iraq ,
Afghanistan and Libya and some think there is at least a 50% chance of this happening before US presidential elections. Therefore it would seem wise to have an emergency anti-war demonstration already planned if/when such "October Surprise" bombing should break out. If you live in the Twin Cities MN area, please volunteer to come hold "Don't Bomb Iran " banners in this perfectly legal "freeway blogger" location (that is highly strategic in terms of viewability) as an emergency response if the worst should occur.

If you don't live near the Twin Cities, consider planning a similar emergency response to this new catastrophic war.

The bannering would begin at 4:30 pm on the day that bombing starts or if bombing starts after 4:30 pm, then it would be held the following day.

Also depending upon what happens, we might hold a practice vigil (to plan for the worst as they say in national security jargon). Here is a video (http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=rHMh1B_apXc ) of what "We'll Banner a Warning" looked like and I will also post some photos of similar bannering efforts back in 2007-2008 when the US under Bush-Cheney came so close to going to war on Iran.
