Operation Independence: 4th of July postering so that everyone attending parades and events are more likely to come into contact with propaganda

2017-07-04 09:47:28 UTC  

Choose the most subversive "patriotic" imagery and go with it

2017-07-05 18:17:03 UTC  

So tell me, what time is the actual eclipse going to start AND when is everyone doing the banner drops?

2017-07-05 18:17:33 UTC  

I need to know so I can properly schedule for some of my guys will show up.

2017-07-05 20:37:46 UTC  

The plan at the moment is to be doing banners et al. leading up to the eclipse, particularly over the weekend, and then retreating to a private celebration. We're working out details of the location.

2017-07-05 20:55:28 UTC  

@everyone Is part of the plan to banner-drop at locations just north AND just south of the path of totality? If so, where will those locations be?

2017-07-05 20:56:52 UTC  

I have camping locations to propose, but I want to make sure they will fit well with everyone's activism plans...

2017-07-05 21:12:19 UTC  

@everyone it should also be noted that at this point in time any discussion of a camping trip connotes wilderness camping, i.e. outside of a managed facility, as there will be no spots left in such campgrounds ⛺️

2017-07-05 21:32:38 UTC  

Brownsville is a good point at the Southern end of the path...

2017-07-05 21:42:42 UTC  

Anywhere banners can be dropped with in relatively close proximity to the high traffic areas which will be near the path of totality. Leading up to Monday morning. I propose that the actual eclipse will be spent at the campsite bc everyone will be looking up & already be in place, our activism should be aimed at catching them enroute to their location on the weekend before the viewing & as they leave. Managed facilities will be full & expensive, I look forward to some local knowledge here. I think anything near the path of totality & I-5 (high probability of over passes to work with) will suit our needs.

2017-07-05 21:51:19 UTC  

^^^
Yes

2017-07-05 21:52:45 UTC  

I have some good (I think) ideas of where to camp, I just want to make sure which place will serve as the best base of operations for the banner-droppers

2017-07-05 21:53:33 UTC  

I can't really speak to where the best spot for such activities is on the northern end of the path

2017-07-05 21:54:47 UTC  

But I'd bet the place where the <@&304040059231797261> did their last op (near Albany) might work well for this as well.

2017-07-05 22:25:35 UTC  

Will the <@&304026293178204160> be coming in from the Seattle area?

2017-07-05 22:35:15 UTC  

I can't speak for any others but I plan on going down.

2017-07-05 22:48:34 UTC  

@blackhat 16 I'd like to camp with you if that's an option.

2017-07-05 22:53:43 UTC  

At risk of seeming rude, @BotsRob , I saw @blackhat 16 's tent last weekend and it's not very big.

2017-07-05 22:57:13 UTC  

I'm kinda wondering just how packed I-5 is going to be and if traffic could possibly slow to a standstill as the shadow passes, or if pulling to halt on the shoulder would be a viable way to get a front row seat at this event.

2017-07-05 22:57:30 UTC  

I have my own tent. We have shared many sleeping quarters. I might even bring a camping trailer.

2017-07-05 22:58:00 UTC  
2017-07-05 23:00:02 UTC  

Yeah, yeah, @BotsRob , it was an inside joke aimed at @blackhat 16 because he and I witnessed a funny episode with an extremely small tent this past weekend.

2017-07-05 23:00:55 UTC  

@Jimmy Marr I don't think that joke is funny at all. 🙄

2017-07-05 23:01:58 UTC  

@BotsRob yes, you should come up and camp with us. We should do it regardless of rest of events.

2017-07-05 23:02:02 UTC  

I'm not even sure it was really a tent. It could have been a scale model of a tent that was intended to be used in a retail display.

2017-07-05 23:03:26 UTC  

but that didn't stop @pitrunner1776 and his girlfriend from trying to squeeze into it.

2017-07-05 23:03:54 UTC  

It was probably a hiking tent. Very small, light weight, and doesn't take up much space in a backpack. Did you bring your winnebago @Jimmy Marr ?

2017-07-05 23:04:19 UTC  

Not all boomers!

2017-07-05 23:07:40 UTC  

@everyone I'm looking hard at Bagby Hot Springs as a good place to find camping. It's about 4.5-5 hours drive from either Seattle or Grants Pass. Thoughts?

2017-07-05 23:13:13 UTC  

@blackhat 16 it's a long drive for my old ass truck. Maybe I can link up with some of the <@&304026039766482955> and try to facilitate ride arrangements.

2017-07-05 23:13:37 UTC  

For all you overpass flaggots out there, it's 2.5 hours to Brownsville and 1.5 hours to Woodburn.

2017-07-05 23:13:46 UTC  
2017-07-05 23:14:04 UTC  

@blackhat 16 hot springs sounds like a great location!

2017-07-05 23:18:29 UTC  

What are the banners going to read again?

2017-07-05 23:19:13 UTC  

It's going to be a surprise.

2017-07-05 23:19:41 UTC  

Bro, I have to worryabout optics

2017-07-05 23:29:18 UTC  

Ah, don't worry, you'll probably draw some innocuous message with massive public appeal like "ALL HAIL @ GENOCIDE JIMMY".

2017-07-05 23:32:33 UTC  

Whereas @My Name Is Hate may be lucky enough to find a hard core message such as "HERBIVORES FOR JUSTICE" in his stocking.

2017-07-05 23:36:18 UTC  

Imagine the joyful expression on @blackhat 16 's face when he unfurls his "JEWS AGAINST WHITE GENOCIDE" banner on Eclipse morning.

2017-07-05 23:37:02 UTC  

I'm just trying to build up some enthusiasm here.

2017-07-05 23:42:17 UTC  

In all honesty, I have ordered the cheapest banner materials available in order to allow maximum discretion by people displaying them. If some individuals decide to display them in a disposable manner rather than standing and holding them in public, they will have that option.
