well..well..NY said NO to george w. bush
and the entire neocon agenda today..
in a BIG way
i talked to people ALL over town and to be accurate..
EVERYONE used astronomical terms to describe the massed crowd..
there simply were..ARE.. millions..
MILLIONS!..

this is not a joke.
it was like this..
(forgive me if you are unfamiliar with the topography of manhattan)
CNN is reporting “thousands”
the NEW YORK TIMES is reporting “hundreds of thousands”
FUCK THEM..
flatly put those organizations have vested interests..
in claims made and confirmed…as do the organizers..
among them not seeming “ridiculous”
in claims made about attendees to THEIR events..
citizenx has no such concerns
i KNOW manhattan.
LETS DO THE MATH..
imagine if you will.. and really… TRY
the march commenced at noon..
14th street and seventh avenue
was the southern extremity of SOLID humanity..
building to building avenue wide HUMANITY
is swelled up seventh…past MadisonSquareGarden
turned right at 34th street and continued to fifth avenue
where it swung south again headed for Union Square..
now before the people at fourteenth and 7th had even MOVED yet
the head of the march began POURING into Union Square..
FORTY FIVE SOLID BLOCKS..
and theres more..

this entire situation was entirely too bovine for me
SO..
i biked around and around..
around the march itself
and around the surrounding closed streets and avenues..
like a pedal powered electron macroscope
i attempted to capture (in the quantum sense)
a SENSE of what was occuring…in this place..at a given time..
at 2;00pm the marchers at sixteenth street were shuffling forward
the march had by then been emptying into Union Square for half an hour!
NOW..at this point it must be added..
that the people finishing the march exited the area QUICKLY and..
WITHOUT INCIDENT..
i circled the area a dozen times..
and when i say circled i mean 8th street..
from 2nd avenue to 10th ave.
up to 38th street (four blocks BEHIND the POLICE WALL)
the numbers were STAGGERING..
at four o’clock the tail end of the now thinning march crossed the original start
at 22nd and seventh..
UNFORTUNATELY..a giant papier mache fire breathing dragon malfunctioned
in front of mcdonalds..
burning the contraption to cinders.. but luckily injuring NO ONE..
NYPD and firefighters made quick work of the wreckage..
and the delay was minimal..
THE FACT REMAINS.
45 SOLID blocks of people for four hours STRAIGHT..
new moving people…continuing to fill THAT amount of space
relentlessly for FOUR HOURS..

details follow..
for now
from the largest demonstration of single minded WILL..
IN..
THE HISTORY..
OF NEW YORK CITY..
this is citizenx
out.
