Park Police Arrest People for Dancing at Jefferson Memorial
June 2nd, 2011Ok, please stop submitting this. Yes, it’s stupid that these people were arrested, but these types of tactics are a total waste of time.
If you want to protest, do it as a general strike that shuts down the Ponzi scheme economy, make a lot less taxable income, produce your own food, participate in local, outlaw food economies, remove your money from the bank, stop buying shit you don’t need.
But dancing in front of Vader’s minions? Give me a break. I wish I had a Bitcoin for every time this one was submitted. How many YouTube videos until the revolution? *sigh* The sign waving class is going to have to figure this one out the hard way.
Via: Washington Post:
We can’t know for sure what Thomas Jefferson would have thought of the arrests Saturday of five people who were dancing in his memorial. According to reports, they were grooving in silence to protest an earlier court ruling banning dance within the Jefferson Memorial.
The arrests sparked outrage galore, complete with viral videos on YouTube of the forceful police response. But overlooked is the utter irony of outlawing dance in the name of the third president. After all, this is the man who netted this nation a dance heritage with the Louisiana Purchase.
the revolution will not be televised, tweeted or updated on facebook. the revolution will be live. the revolution will be you.
Gil Scott-Heron, rest in peace.
I tend to agree with you. The dancing is not something I would have done. Anyways, I think we give Jefferson too much credit sometimes. History tends to become mythologized too often. Ultimately, my respect lies with God and Christ and no human or human system will save us. Jefferson was ultimately against God.
There are better solutions, take your money out of the bank, buy only the things you need and buy them locally, just get yourself out of the system.
As Kokesh said it himself on RT, its ridiculous people refuse to get incensed over the government (& globalists) murdering their own president, committing false flag operations, destroying the economy…but when it comes to dancing they get riled up? Quite a distraction, really.
I guess its the “Dancing with the Stars” effect.
I agree with Kevin this seems a low level tactic at waking the sleeping population. But one of the most effective statments agaist all the USA empire building wars was when the
US Marine Threw a Puppy off a Cliff!

Even though our soldiers have killed thousands of children, blew-up wedding parties, bathed in endless torture and rendition … The puppy video went viral in hours.
The ‘Dancing with the Stars’ effect, chemicals in our drinking water and products, dumbing down of education, licking the boots of the Fatherland’s TSA, poorly exectued false flags honored and promoted by a charismatic emperor has created a nation of FaceBook zombies barely able to understand that the 4th Admendment was destroyed a few weeks ago.
We gotta start basic … seeing a nazi cop body slam a dude to the floor wiggling to his iPod tunes … is a feeble start … It may awaken a few?
“wish I had a Bitcoin for every time this one was submitted”
LOL..THAT is funny Kev~
is dancing some powerful remedy to the state of modern propoganda/marketing many are subject to, or just the principal of the thing taht has people up-in-arms?
i oft times ask myself what all those who “died during interrogation” really says about these peoples religious beliefs. human sacrifice is an age old human tradition, not even figuratively…
are intel officers literally just sadistic personalities, or just incompetent?
do anybody really believe these methods are effective? why employ this policy with full knowledge internal studies show there are far more effective methodologies? where should the blame fall?
3 words: tortured. to. death.
i just keep telling myself there’s Always a price, and karmas a real SOa’B.
I agree completely, Kevin –
As long as American police can hoist a disabled man out of a wheelchair and faceplant him in the road (while shouting “GET ON THE GROUND!! as if he had a choice), people being arrested for dancing are a dangerous distraction from what’s really going on.

for anyone who may have thought this was a one-off anomaly.
Boo hoo to the spoiled narcissists who have their friends film them while they get themselves arrested for dancing – the real brutality and abuse of authority is usually caught on a cellphone camera by chance.
And even then, it’s lucky if it isn’t instantly displaced by Anthony Weiner’s (or maybe not, details at 11:00) underwear.
I despair sometimes.
