On Monday, November 6, 2006, “V” visited security check points at the White House, the main Treasury, IRS and Justice Department Buildings and the Capitol. “V’s” purpose was to deliver the People’s Petitions for Redress of Grievances relating to the Government’s violations of the war powers, tax, privacy and money clauses of the Constitution, and to inform key Government officials that at least 100 more “Vs” would be at their doorstep on November 14th expecting a response to the Petitions. At the White House about a dozen Secret Service agents appeared on foot, bicycles and car to meet “V.” While virtuously assuring the security of the state, they were curious about the image of “V” and asked many questions. Most, when asked if they had seen the movie “V for Vendetta”, smiled their approval. When an agent asked if “V” would remove his mask for identification purposes, “V” explained that would defeat the very purpose of the mask, which was to give expression to the fact that the nation was becoming a police state, that too many people were becoming afraid to be identified as dissenters or protestors, and that this was not in the long term interest of a free people. The agents accepted the veracity of “V’s” message and refrained from veering “V” from his vanguard visit as the vox populi. Many law enforcement agents dutifully responded to the first impression security concerns caused by “V’s” dramatic and startling presence at the seat of governmental power. All but one who confronted “V” were generally pleasant, professional and ultimately respectful of the voraciously valued Rights of peaceful protest, dissent and Petition that “V” was claiming and exercising. Unfortunately, there was one agent who, either out of vanity, vice, or emotional instability, believed his vows of service and badge would vindicate his use of violence where clearly none was justified. One Secret Service agent near the White House, even after he and all the other agents had recognized that the toy daggers in “V”’s belt were plastic and part of the costume, and despite the clearly peaceful and non-threatening behavior of “V,” the officer forcefully seized the plastic daggers from “V’s” belt. After a bit of mental gymnastics between the agent and “V”, amid the growing public spectacle and peer pressure from his fellow officers (who voiced their agreement with “V’s” logic and assertion of his Rights), “V” eventually prevailed over the vexed officer and succeeded in securing the return of the toy daggers. The crowd by the White House gates also included activist Cindy Sheehan and her supporters who were demonstrating nearby and had gathered to observe the incident between “V” and the Secret Service. They let out a cheer as the SS agent stood down and returned the plastic knives. At “V’s” request, a Secret Service agent called up to the White House to ask if someone would come to the gate to accept service of the papers. After 20 minutes or so, word came to the gate house that the papers should be mailed to the President. This was done the next day. After departing from the White House, “V” walked around the White House compound to the security checkpoint at the Treasury Department. Treasury accepted service of the papers from “V” without incident. Other than the agent at the security check point who instructed “V” to use his phone to call the mail room, the only other person to speak with “V” was Mr. Lynch from the mail room. The IRS building is apparently still closed due to the flooding experienced last summer. The agents at the security check point informed “V” that the papers would have to be delivered to IRS at 500 North Capitol Street. Rather than do that, the papers were mailed to the IRS Commissioner the next day. At the Department of Justice several armed agents with “Homeland Security” patches on their arms, as well as DOJ security personnel met “V”. They too were very curious. There ensued another prolonged face-to-mask exchange of news, information, affirmations and assurances. Eventually, the officers determined that “V” and the camera person were not violating the DC code dealing with the wearing of masks on the streets of the city, or their refusal to produce identification, and that they were not a security threat. The protective security forces and agents from the DOJ arranged for a Mr. Burroughs to accept service of the Petitions for Redress for the agency.

The Federal goonsquad sure is scared of a man in a costume carrying plastic knives. These professional bullies are the worst kind of cowards. Fat, stupid unAmerican trash harrassing peaceful citizens with a petition. It's sickening to watch. So, DC has a "law" that criminalizes the withholding of ID, and these goons wield it like a club. If you didn't know why such a "law" is a terrible idea, just watch this video. They use it to bully and suppress dissent. It has nothing to do with security.
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.
What a bunch of government nazis. What law is there that states you must show id just standing on a public street?
Mark The FBI, rather than trying to prevent a terrorist attack, was merely gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred.— Robert Wright - Former FBI agent "At temperatures above 800º C structural steel loses 90 percent of its strength. Yet even when steel structures are heated to those temperatures, they never disintegrate into piles of rubble, as did the Twin Towers and Building 7."-http://www.911research.net
Ever ask one of the goons for their ID?
video
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
This is actually pretty clever...now if "V" can get to work getting some of this obnoxious legislation REPEALED; such as both Patriot Acts, The Military Commissions Act, The Defense Authorization Act; we'll be making progress. Then "V" can demand a repeal of CAFTA, NAFTA, and he can demand all those damn cameras be removed from the streets of America.
Looks like 'V' drew a crowd and more.
-"Yes officer, I'm Rabbi Teitelbaum...I'm just here to pay homage for all that you'd done for our tiny slither of a nation..." -"My apologises Rabbi, carry on...Nothing to see here folk, please, move along."
you're such a cynic ;P
Just imagine what 100 "V"'s will do when they gather in Washington on November 14th.
I hope there are 100+ cameras rolling.
I'd bet on that. Did you notice in this video how nervous the police seem to be about having the cameras turned on them? It's okay to take video of Joe Citizen at every street intersection and corner across America, but let Joe Citizen try to videotape the authorities..? Can't have that.
The video presents a horribly sad view of U.S.A.today. The principled stalwarts who set forth the Constitution would be appalled. Those who are authorized with a badge and a gun are mindless, witless robots and pridefully will attack anyone upon command - much like any pit bulldog. To them, and their President, the Constitution "is just a goddam piece of paper", so we patriots don't have much commonality for communicating anything of significance with them. Their attitude of 'us vs.them' is so strong that they refer to us as "civilians" or "citizens", always with derogatory intent as if they have been honored by being placed above such appellations. Their employers - the politicians, ultimately - regard us with that same derision, but only (immediately) after they are elected. Sadder still are the millions of voters who continue to think of themselves as being important to the political process. They are unaware that this no longer is a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people". Remember Mr.Washington's admonition: "Government is not eloquence, and it is not reason; it is force and, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master".
I am willing to bet they put them on follow surveillance and IDed him anyway. They don't give up such a pissing contest as easily as they did. You notice the gate guard kept him busy while the others moved in? They likely reviewed their files on V's group and were working on IDing him right fro the start. They go nuts locally when people mask at demonstrations. They are the first targeted along with anyone who they suspect of leadership. At the WTO riots in Seattle they seized as many cell phones as they could too. They also used dye spraying at a Starbuck's smashing I was near to later ID those near it to spot those who were near the event. You can't see the dye with the naked eye, but I shivered in the cold up there until I could get back to our vehicle to replace the clothes I jettisoned because I knew what I had been sprayed with. That was a bad month to be shirtless and in bicycle tights and cutoffs. Oh yes, as far as those 'harmless' rubber bullets go, they hurt very badly, and I still have a scar from the one that I got hit in the shin with when they broke-up an intersection lock down we were doing locally. It is important to do after action reviews and to analyze their tactics and techniques. They are always changing and they do after action reviews to see what worked and to give them the information they want to use to break up groups they are told to intimidate and bully by their masters. It is only common sense to do the same. My opinion on the microwave weapons they have now to hurt people if they are unable to get out of the radiation is a simple one; it is an attack using deadly force. It must be treated as that.
well said, Bub.
When will they learn that a heart doesn't draw the line...
windows only, it seems. :^(
