Carousel of Information - Portland

There was another Carousel of Information this last weekend, this was a great way to spend a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. It was originally scheduled to take place in Woodburn, but the location was changed at the last minute. This common practice of the Mexican Consul General happens frequently in a lame attempt to discourage protestors.

Proud Americans stood on each corner

expressing their opinion on this important subject of Illegal Immigration.

We were only allowed on the sidewalk surrounding the site of the criminal activity, the parking lot area and the building itself are "Property of Mexico" (No Gringos Allowed!!).

This is "Red Coat Guy" talking to the Mexican Consul General as several Illegals outside the building anxiously await their "Matricular Card" so they can start receiving FREE State benefits.

I noticed several people honking and waving to protestors as they drove by the location and even some people waving from the MAX train as it passed by every few minutes.

Daniel found some openings in the window of the building and decided

to have some fun with his camera

and was taking pictures thru the openings in the mini blinds.

When they saw the camera flashing and realized what was going on

they began fixing the openings and closing up all the gaps, so Daniel went to the top side for a few more shots.

About two seconds after this picture, a hand poked thru the blinds flipping him the bird. Daniels photos of this confrontation can be seen on his blog.

"Red Coat Guy" acted as doorman for the "Carousel of Information" event (tipping required; American dollars only) .

Daniel and Rick Hickey discuss the days event.

These fine Americans drove all the way from southern Oregon to show their support.

On the opposite corner of the street supporters continue to rally.

A few more fine Americans took to the nearby freeway overpass

to help spread the word.

Supporters continue to bask in the warm sunshine throughout the morning.

This sign was directly across the street, your O.D.O.T. dollars at work.

Victoria Taft showed up to give support.

This Gentleman thanked everybody for showing up and then led the group in the "Pledge of Allegiance".

This Channel 2 KATU cameraman interviewed Rick Hickey.

Here is a Channel 12 FOX news reporter talking with Daniel.

Rick talks with some fellow suppoters.

The line to get in continues to grow.

Here comes the Channel 12 FOX news cameraman with Rick Hickey.

This sign pretty much sums it up.

This Guy couldn't stay too long but was good enough to hold Rick's sign

while FOX news interviewed him.

Daniel takes Victoria's dog for a short walk.

He kept looking at me and did not seem to like me taking his picture.

The event ended shortly thereafter.

And then there were none....

Carousel of Information – Eugene / The Final Encounter

The Eugene Police kept a close eye on both protesters and anti-protesters alike

throughout the day,




Public Safety and DHS Officials were always visible to all.

This is the camera shy University of Oregon employee Laura Blake Jones




She is shown here talking with other criminal organizers.




Meanwhile in the background the line to get the ever so valuable Matricula Consular Card





kept growing and growing

and even extending into a neighboring parking lot.

The Anti-Protesters

brought out the cameras every time

Daniel approached the crowd.

This the latest in "Role Model fashion wear".

The"Che Guevara"Terrorist Hand bag collection

has only by a slight margin edged out the"Sub Comandante Marcos" T-shirt apparel line.

This T-shirt is running third place in sales for the "Role Model" fashion market, it is the "Save Tookie" apparel line.

The word in the "fashion circles" is this item is soon to be discontinued, sales have been dropping in the last couple months.

By the way...Hows that campaign workin for ya???

This is University of Oregon Professor Bob Bussel, with his "Jazz Hands"

in an attempt

to explain his liberal views

and Daniel seems to be amused by his rationality.

Enter "Tall Dude"

and He said: "Let there be expletives"

and so it came to pass,

as He expressed his opinion

and immaturity.

The crowd began to sing and chant once again

as "Tall Dude" continued to Rant and Rave

along with others in the crowd.

Oh No! Here comes "Johnny Law" to settle things down

and to convince Daniel

He may be

making the non-natives restless

and agitated.

Daniel explains what

has taken place

but the Cops

are not impressed



and convince Daniel to return to the other side of the street.

The singing gets even louder

with the help of U of O Professor Bob Bussel.

And all are happy once again.

Hey look who is back! It's the "Consul General" Yippee!

Daniel extends a warm welcome to him, but the greeting is refused.

They begin to talk

as a criminal supporter chimes in with an opinion

and Daniel

voices his concerns

and tells the "Consul General" that this type of criminal event will be put to a halt in the very near future,

the "Consul General" is not convinced and seems amused.

The police are always a couple of steps away.

"I got this DOG and I'm not afraid to use it!"

The group begins to clap

and cheer

and sing once again in celebration.

"Tall Dude" returns to protesters side of the street

to give some more of His opinion to Rick Hickey

and also to Daniel

but this time Daniel gets in a word of response.

"Hey Look Here"

"They found a guitar player"

A proud Amercian Veteran talks with the "Guitar Man"

just before he once again leads the group in song.

The "Proud Veteran" yells to the crowd to join the United States Armed Forces and get citizenship that way.

As you may guess there are not many takers, and it only seemed to once again get things stirred up.

Daniel trys to persuade the "Veteran" to return to the other side of the street,

but the Cops make the final convincing argument.

The Anti-Protesters clap and cheer and hold up signs like "No Human is Illegal"

These events and more were commonplace and may or may not have had an impact on the number of "Matricula Consular Cards" issued that day.

But regardless of the impact the Protesters had, they are going to be at many if not all of the scheduled "Carousel of Information" Events in the State of Oregon.

"GO TEAM!!!"
