Twenty-one Years of Socialist Protesters
Since 1988, protestors have gathered in front of Fort Benning, Georgia under the title of SOAW or School of Americas Watch. These pacifist protesters aim for the shutdown of the School of Americas. The School of Americas trains personnel from Central and South America. They teach hem guerilla tactics so thy can in turn return to their homeland to fight the communist rebels like the FARQ in Colombia. A growing threat in South America, the communist rebels unleash violence so characteristic of soviet countries and they leave regions in their countries devastated. Several people who have been trained in the School of the Americas have turned “rotten” so to say and they murder several people in cold blood. However this is the minority, and very small minority at that. Yet the protestors blow it out of proportion and call for the shutdown of the school.
Just a Cover-up for Radical Leftist Ideals
These aren’t your average protestors. Thanks to the incredible reporting and documenting of one of our volunteers, we know of the real messages behind the protest. It is a place to promote homosexuality. The people who go resemble hippies out of the 60’s, smoking marijuana and publically displaying acts of homosexuality right in the street.
On the street where the protest takes place, there are tables promoting the legalization and sale of illegal drugs, another table is devoted to feminism, another devoted to selling shirts with socialist/communist figures such as Castro on them. In reality, this is no protest to close the School of America’s. It has been diverted to the display of radical socialist and leftist agendas.”
The TFP again Counter-protests in the Name of Truth and Reality
Leaving on Thursday, November 19, ten TFP volunteers set out from Spring Gove on a 15 hour drive taking them to Columbus, Georgia. Aided financially by the founders of the previous God Bless Fort Benning events, the volunteers were ready to confront the protesters and support the troops. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the God Bless Fort Benning vent was discontinued, and so the only thing left to show the troops support as the TFP. Down in Columbus they were met by a woman and another young man dressed in an Uncle Sam outfit. Going to the intersection of Broadway and 13th, the volunteers raised the TFP standard and American flag, and unfurled two banners with pro-military slogans. Armed with the now famous “Honk” signs, the TFP wished to work on public opinion (one which already held the protestors in disfavor) and gain the support of all those who passed. The bagpipes and drum added to the campaign and that was all coupled with the jubilant honking of horns. All those who saw the Counter-protest were elated and were smiling as they lay on their horns.
Saturday found TFP volunteers again in full campaign, this time just one block away from the campaign. But the volunteers all had an internal countdown waiting for the signal to be given to take the campaign down and set off into the protest to hand out their literature.
The TFP was happy to have a presence down in Georgia and was pleased to support the troops, knowing that nobody else had the courage or time to do it in face of such evil.
