local coalitions were formed that organized for local, national, international actions in solidarity with those who took to the streets of d.c on the 20th of jan to protest the coranation of the second installment of the illegal bush regime. what now?

In tha wake of the J20 protests and presidential atrocities alike it is once again time to declare our revolution. In the streets there were actions taken short of what was required in the name of immediate change, We are once again looking back at a day that was stolen from us by the government and it's police. This is the UGLF's statement.
There were protests in D.C. and in many other cities, in many countries that we are by no means ashamed to have participated in. Our movement has not failed at showing dissent, which it rarely does. Someone watching the cemeromonies on T.V. at home may have got a glimpse of backs turned toward their president, ANSWER's bleachers and stickless signs, and even watching FOX news veiwers were given shots of police rioting with anarchists while their black flags and jolly roger flew high. Most importantly the president was met with protests, as was promised.
The police who so easily become our enemy were there in force, which was expected. Many of them just had to show up to work that day to become our counter-revolutionaries, while others were shipped in as an army in a way that could be compared to some Jihadist organizations or the obvious fascists of modern and previous times. Clashes between the movement and these mercenaries of sorts were not an uncommon sight on television or in the streets, but understanding and ignoarce rarely meet and our movement was not given the full representation on the corportate news or in the upper-class's collective mind, which they will never grant us and we should be ashamed to covet, if that is indeed the case.
On the streets (specifically 14th and Pennsylvania Ave.) an agreement was made between young radicals and the otherwise modeate protestors. This agreement was not written down on paper or discussed in commitees, because it was simply true. That truth being that the illegal searches, the illegal coranation, and the violent police repression among other things all had to go, and it was then that the police sprayed young radicals and the moderate liberals alike with pepper spray as they together rushed the checkpoint in hopes and desperation to be heard. This agreement was perhaps the bravest the moderates had made and the smartest the radicals had made in our modern movement.
Now, with this J20 in the past and another sure to come it is time once again to look at truth for what it is, absolute. With Bush's agenda being opposite our's it may only be this radical's hope that cooperation between moderates and our selves will take place in the present and future. The dillema for radicals and liberals is the same, our tactics, but it is time to look past that. The movement has declared this government illegal and for us it is obvious what needs to take place next.

For moderates they have chosen to turn their backs on this illegal regime and in doing this they need to work further forward with their local coaltions to build regional and then a national counter government. working in committess and addressing the issues of what really needs to take place that is simply to build a structure that will represnt that which has been stolen from us. the people need to stand collectively and say we do not recognize this illegal authority, it is not our voice and let the world know this. the moderates need to accept the radiicals as their vanguard, the defenders of their reform. for radicals the future for us is that with no mandate and the open decleration that this state is corrupted beyond reform that we must take the strugglre further, not just in blocs at demonstrations but in deploying better tactics, using technology to our strategic and tactical advantage and by fighting eveyday the cause of liberation from this tyranny.
