Eagles Up! A Video Report

I've been searching for videos of yesterday and Friday's activities by the latest Gathering of Eagles event, Eagles Up!

Here are the first two:





This Ain't Hell provides an After Action report of his observations of Winter Soldier II:

I’ve been ruminating how I would close out this weekend after focusing on Winter Soldier for the last few days. I thought a point-by-point refutation of the testimony, but I figured that’d be disingenuous of me, since the testimony lacked context - there were no dates or times or places (other than general references) or even participants in some cases. So, just like the participants, I can only give general impressions - only I’ll do it without playing to the applause.

First, my personal experience with the IVAW/Veterans for Peace and the other and sundry people was professional. I wasn’t especially pleased that I was escorted everywhere I went, or that we spent the day surrounded by security people, or that our blogs were being monitored - however, it does lend what I wrote a measure of credibility. But there were news outlets like the Guardian and al Jazeera wandering around without security and writing what they want. I’ll grant that my readership is somewhat less than theirs, but the product I created was under much more scrutiny while it was being released to the public.





The Sniper also had good coverage.

And Obiter Dictum notes the changing nature of many of the stories from participants at the Gathering of Traitors, otherwise known as Winter Soldier II.

A Newt One has some good photos, and a live radio show during the event.

Here are other shows that had after action reports and conversations with participants:

American Truth Warriors (begins at 8 minute mark)
Independently Correct Radio
The Front Line


I enjoyed watching the streaming coverage, reading the reports as they came in, and listening to the participants as they shared their stories, and hope I can participate at the next event.

**update** 3.29pm Gateway Pundit has some good news for the conservative counter-protest movement...a group of counter protestors manage to keep an anti-war crowd from shutting down a recruiting center in Tacoma, Washington! Be sure to follow the link over there to see the video.
Perhaps now, we see the moonbats being put on the run!!!
