Los Angeles and Jerusalem, July 18 - Comparing the two historic popular insurrections:
  • Battle of Blair Mountain (1921) - was led by Coal Miners Union; the US Army suppressed the People, and the Robber Barons won.
  • Battle of Athens (1946) - was led by World War II veterans; the US Army did not suppress the People, and the People won.Conclusion:
OccupyMARINES and other veteran groups are critical for the peaceful resolution of the current constructional crisis, since they are the only safeguard today against suppression of the People by the US Government through the use of the US Armed Forces.

The Battle of Blair MountainBy Chris Hedges

July 16, 2012 "Truthdig" - -  Joe Sacco and I, one afternoon when we were working in southern West Virginia on our book “Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt,” parked our car on the side of a road. We walked withKenny King into the woods covering the slopes of Blair Mountain. King is leading an effort to halt companies from extracting coal by blasting apart the mountain, the site in the early 1920s of thelargest armed insurrectionin the United States since the Civil War.

Blair Mountain, amid today’s rising corporate exploitation and state repression, represents a piece of American history that corporate capitalists, and especially the coal companies, would have us forget. It is a reminder that citizens have a right to resist a corporate machine intent on subjugating them. It is a reminder that all the openings of our democracy were achieved with the toil, anguish and sometimes blood of radicals and popular fronts, from labor unions to anarchists, socialists and communists. But this is not approved history. We are instructed by the power elite to worship at approved shrines­plantation estates erected for wealthy slaveholders and land speculators such as George Washington, or the gilded domes of authority in the nation’s capital.

Coal Wars

The Battle of Blair Mountain
 was one of the largest civil uprisings in United States history and the largest armed rebellion since the American Civil War . [1]For five days in late August and early September 1921, in Logan CountyWest Virginia, some 10,000 armed coal miners confronted 3,000 lawmen and strikebreakers, called the Logan Defenders, [2]who were backed by coal mine operators during an attempt by the miners to unionize the southwestern West Virginia coalfields. The battle ended after approximately one million rounds were fired, [3] and the United States Army intervened by presidential order.
