Members 2 : H. Wahl President , Sorrel Ave. Stromberg Treasurer , 27 Throckmorton Ln. Read the details here. I slipped into the building lobby at the back entrance of 50 Beale St. I respect David's varied viewpoints and am thankful for every single person in our movement. However I'd like to say that David's view is unique and that most people who were present that day viewed the event as successful.
The goal of the whole event was to raise awareness that Bechtel is engaged in war profiteering and profits from nuclear facilities management, and the goal of the act of civil disobedience was to "Shut Down Bechtel.
Bechtel's misdeeds include maintaining a revolving door into the federal government. Bechtel executives help to shape horrendous public and foreign policy from their high-level government positions, then reap the benefits once they're back at Bechtel.
The following are factual corrections to David's essay: 1 Actually, there were seven arrests, not one. The other six arrests took place before mine at the back entrance to 45 Fremont, Bechtel's other building. I was sent to the processing facility on Bryant Street along with the other six people, and we became friends.
There were also individuals at the front and back of 45 Fremont just across the courtyard. David may not have been following the discussion closely enough or was having trouble hearing the discussion due to stated traffic. It's not that the police opened up a pathway that was too wide. They had all turned their backs and no one actually noticed that a protester had slipped in until I started clapping, chanting, and speaking about Bechtel in the lobby.
I was at the back of 50 Beale St. David was perhaps not following the speakers or was distracted as the speakers were outlining our complaints. I value critical thought of all types, but I think it hurts our movement when it is done in this manner.
Nevertheless I felt the need to correct David's many factual errors. David, if you would like to discuss this with me on a personal basis, please e-mail me at Butterfly [at] Lacy. Thank you. Thanks for the corrections. I completely missed the arrests on the street-side of the 45 Fremont building - there were no blockaders there any of the times I passed those doors.
As far as I could see, though, it is incorrect to say that 45 Fremont was effectively blockaded. While there were protesters holding signs and banners at the plaza-side entrance during much of the afternoon, every time I saw this there were people entering and exiting the building unimpeded.
Also, if the goal of the CD was to "shut down Bechtel" then that goal was clearly not met. Bechtel was not shut down, not even close. Even its S. The best you can say is that for about minutes, employees could not enter or leave the building, and for a few hours, employees who entered or left the building were inconvenienced by extra security and the presence of protesters. That's not a shut down. A shut down would mean Bechtel was prevented from doing business, the offices empty or in chaos, something like that.
Calling this action a "shut down" of Bechtel is inaccurate hyperbole. I agree that I glossed over the complaints about Bechtel, and perhaps I did this in a too-flippant manner, but I assumed that most of the people reading this article would already be familiar with the broad outlines of these complaints or could research them on their own.
I offer these critiques in the spirit of hoping that we can learn from our experiences and create a more effective movement against militarism.
