My thought exactly, Sunny. The video should be of them in handcuffs, being marched outside.

No security means they have tacit agreement to squat the office while Peolsi is out of town.

A hunger strike is something you do until you die. eg Bobby Sands MP in UK.

Not eating for a few days is called FASTING. It’s a good practice, I recommend it. However it is not a reason for anyone else to bend to your demands.

These pretentious bourgeois eco-loons are a dishonour to anyone who every really had the commitment to go on hunger strike. Totally shameful.

Of course Pelosi’s office is complicit , otherwise they would have been removed immediately. Try invading some prominent representatives office and see how long you last.

If they think they need “sodium supplements” on the first day of fasting they should talk to someone who has actually done it.

I tried searching for some update on this and can’t find any reports fresher than 3days ago when the coordinated PR burst started. Is this “global hunger strike” even existing at this point. Or was it just for one day?

Why can’t they just eat bugs?

Nine protesters were arrested Thursday after storming the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to demand that she meet with them about climate change.

Looks like they got gently escorted to the precinct. All smiles.

Remember when Pelosi said “…if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.”?

This is what you get with a society filled with people who don’t have to work and can’t find anything better to do with their time.

For myself, I’d prefer to see that anyone depending on the public teat to survive be required to fill two large garbage bags with discarded trash (real pollution, not imaginary) every day before they can collect their undeserved daily stipend.

But hey, that’s just me.

Lock the doors and place signage stating…
Gone on vacation for 2 weeks for Thanksgiving.
Will return in early December.
Be sure they can see the notice after the doors have been locked.

I would like to see some armed “activists” lock themselves in the office with these jerks to make sure they don’t eat anything.

Close the door.
Turn out the lights.
Turn off the heat.

Let them see what life is like when their “solution” in implemented.

Return in a week with the cleaning and fumigation crew to make the office habitable again.

That’s one way to think about it, Gary, but I wonder if I could submit just a couple of minor changes to your method. Let me know what you think.

Or . . .

OPEN the door.
Turn ON the lights.
Turn ON the heat.

Let everyone see what life is like when policy makers who are also self-described champions of CAGW have their offices stormed by true believers justifiably accusing them of hypocrisy.

Return in a week and ask the stormtroopers if they need anything.

All great suggestions on top of Bryans!

Don’t forget to lock the bathrooms too.
And shut off the water in the basement to the building.
XR has promised vandalism as part of their puerile attention grabbing tantrums; the security guards have got to protect the building.

Schiffty would be so disappointed if he found someone else’s water in his office. No one would notice his tears.

Also warn the local pizza parlors, sandwich shops, food trucks and food stores that aiding terrorism is an accessory to the crime.

It would help if the Washington Mall guards shut off the nearby street lights too. We wouldn’t want to rob XR of any valuable sleep because it’s to bright.

Then remind XR, those conditions is what they are demanding of the rest of us.

Well, that explains why the House hearing is taking so long. She doesn’t want to go back to her office. Can’t say as I blame her, either, and where in the blue-eyed world are the security people in all of this?

She let them in Sara, if she wanted them gone, they would be gone. Part of the fund-raising gravy-train, “Yes, we’ll give you the money Nancy, but we need you to do a little thing for us.”, etc.

From the video it looks like they stayed all of a bout an hour, drank some salt water to stay “hydrated,” and then left when they got bored and hungry.

Morons.

Usually, drinking salt water has a laxative effect and also the body needs to eliminate the salt via urination in order to maintain electrolytic balance. It’s difficult to understand what they were thinking.

They probably saw it Utube. They obviously know nothing about fasting.

I can’t find any info so far on even the second day of “occupying ” her office and not eating. They probably went for a pizza. To hell with the planet, I haven’t eaten for near six hours, now.

Fasting rejuvenates the body. Get past the first three days & Ghrelin cycles reduce, making it easier to continue the fast. Dr Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist. He has pioneered the use of therapeutic fasting regimens for weight loss and type 2 diabetes control with great success. Follow his advice on YouTube. It continues to work for me, although I do not have Type ll Diabetes. Five days of fasting per month keeps the doctor at bay.

If by “fasting” you mean not eating between meals I’m with you. If you mean not eating for five days you need to see a psychiatrist and stop watching YouTube.

Total idiots. To keep the body hydrated you need water. Extra electrolytes are only needed if they are being lost through vomiting or diarrhoea. Drinking salt water is a known way of inducing vomiting.

Given these are extinction Rebellion I am sure their “Hunger Strike” is based on The CBC Chief Teresa Spence Model Hunger strike.
Where over 6 weeks CBC assured us,this woman was on a hunger strike..as she gained weight.
A quote by the Oatmeal Savage summed it up.
“CBC told us a woman was on a hunger strike,Ezra(Now Rebel TV) counted her chins”.
But I do like the idea of just locking the doors for a few weeks,turning off the heat and lights and giving these posers what they demand for us.
How could they object,that would not be cruel and unusual punishment when they are demanding such conditions?
Or are those conditions only for the rest of us?

November 21, 2019 12:57 pm

Ye Gods, effing simpletons.

Not XR, the security staff. Any one of them could be carrying something that goes bang.

XR themselves are just pinko commies wanting a bit of what everyone else has, without bothering to work to get it.

The saying ‘children should be seen and not heard’ is truer now than it’s ever been.

“…until she agrees to convene with them.”
Doesn’t sound very CONVIVIAL, does it? Or will it be just another climate CONVENTION? But in these days of woe and rebellious extinction, a hunger strike is probably no more than one more INCONVENIENT FACT.

The cure for global warming is much worse than anything that might be caused by it. It’s really important that the extremists get a voice. The public needs to know what’s being demanded of them.

The worst case is if the the public is lulled into believing that they can fight CAGW and not affect their standard of living.

November 21, 2019 1:03 pm

No action required.
Just turn off the cameras.
A hunger strike is self-solving, eventually.
Now, If the protesters were REALLY serious, they would hold a breathing strike.

Oh dear, it appears XR continues to make one PR blunder after another. Soon, XR will be extinct.
XR co-founder, Roger Hallam downplays the Holocaust, then when called to task, equates it with “failing to stop global warming”.

What a sickening display of affluent, self-deluded, self-important ignorance, pretending as if throwing an impromptu party disguised as a … hunger strike ® shows any sort of REAL intelligent action!

So sickening!
