Stop Bush protest swells: "A coalition of student activists and two unions are expecting double the number of protesters - 10,000 - to attend a rally during the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in September.
"The main student protester organisation, the
Stop Bush Coalition, had originally estimated that 5000 people would March on Saturday, September 8.
"The APEC Taskforce expects 5000 summit-related delegates to attend the summit, while there will be a contingent of more than 5000 police and defence force in Sydney during Leaders' Week from September 2 to 9."
"The protesters now intend to march from Town Hall, in George Street, to outside the US Consulate in Martin Place - in the APEC declared area - before having a festival in Hyde Park, according to an attendee at the meeting."
"The protesters are also angry with police who accuse them of planning violent protest during the summit."
That would be pure projection on the part of the security authorities. Bush is responsible for an estimated
one million deaths in Iraq
(or 21 million survivals in Pentagon PR speak), and more deaths in Afghanistan, Somalia and no doubt elsewhere. But who among the powers that be will accuse and arrest him?
