On the 11th of November, on the 96th anniversary of the end of WWI, Code Pink showed up outside the police checkpoints and cattle chute fences of the so-called "Concert for Valor" on the Mall. Code Pink was protesting the US return to war in Iraq. During this protest, an incident inside drew a massive police response. I do not know if this was the incident where police pepper sprayed and arrested three people for jumping a fence, or yet another incident. Again, "freedom" American style.

On the 10th of November, opponents of exporting fracked gas out of Cove Point, MD returned to Dominion's pier construction site in nearby Solomons, MD site for the 3rd time in 8 days. Protesters arrived at 6AM and confronted trucks entering the site. Near the end of the protest,Leslie Garcia from Lusby, MD was arrested for attempting to deliver an eviction notice to the site. Lusby is immediately south of Cove Point and caualties there are expected if there is a serious accident with the proposed LNG export plant.

On the 6th of November, net neutrality protesters showed up at the White House demanding Obama fire or demote FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, a former Cable TV company lobbyist.

In the face of extreme public opposition to his plans to allow "paid prioritization" or website-paid Internet fast lanes, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler is attempting to use a "compromise" to reclassify Internet Service Providers as something other than neutral common carriers.

On the 5th of November, Anonymous's Million Mask March took to the streets of DC as they did last year. A confrontation with police erupted at the Supreme Court as barricades were torn down. Elsewhere protesters blocked Constitution Ave and another tense confrontation came after cops tasered a protester.
