Cakeing blueprint:
     Cake theory and the application of cakeing for a moment. Cake is of course a great medium for bringing online protest to IRL because we know the cake is a lie. It's a instant way to troll the IRL media who don't understand. The point is to put a simple message (that is a lie) on a cake and deliver it to a liar. In our case we're Cakeing Carmen Ortiz, and our cake said “Justice for Aaron” which of course is a lie because there can never be justice.

Strengths: Cakeing is legal and can be done with a small group of people, fucks with the FBI
Weaknesses: seen as silly, waste of delicious moist cake.

    Cakeing how to: bake a cake with a message and deliver it to a public figure in need of rebuke. Remember it is legal (as long as you have not been told to leave the property & as long as there is not a no trespassing sign) to doorstep someone (go to their doorstep and ring their doorbell/or leave flyers and a cake). If you choose to cake someones home I suggest you also flyer the neighborhood with your message and reach out to their community to try to inform them why you are doing what you're doing. Definitely take pictures/film and post your cakeing adventure. Even after you have been told not to enter a property or if there's a no trespassing sign you can cake just off their property (don't block their driveway). Don't make threats- again that'll get you and your crew arrested.
     Remember your cake will get V&- and tested for everything by the FBI- I like to use #freecake to mock this- so be sure that you don't put anything in the cake that isn't... cake bc you'll get your whole team thrown in jail. xD the more we cake people the more time the FBI spends xraying cakes fucking lulz!
     Cakeing is a good way to public ally protest with small numbers and not land in jail. I suggest having a livestreamer w/ you because police get jumpy- our first encounter with police while caking was totally insane, but just document and know you're not breaking laws. Ultimately the fun of cakeing is it's basically a solid way to protest without getting arrested.

     I want to try a new tactic. That's not to criticize the current or past protests out there which have been effective (and I think Jubilee dept striking is wonderful), but I have an idea that would be different newsworthy and would put the spotlight on those who would rather hide their criminal actions.

     It's time we start visiting our tax dollars in person at the residences of the banksters who have made a fortune on the bailouts. There are many banking executives who are the 1% and who took gross profits and bonuses that should be in jail. Given that their homes and livelihoods are being paid for by the taxpayers dollar we have every right to go and enter their space to document their criminal greed. The masses are used to seeing massive police mobilizations to protect cities from our free speech but how will they feel when they see the same excessive policing at a private residence protecting a crime-boss who robbed them? This will make infamous the people who rightly deserve to be known and despised.

     This is still important, and not just sour grapes over the bailout because these leaders have guided the banks to foreclose on homes even after receiving a bailout. They are currently being handed free money by our government under the guise of 0% interest loans. These people are still at the head of a system that is robbing you, so let's visit and document their opulence. Let's claim their land as public, and hold our protests on their doorsteps. Let's foreclose on them. I think it's equally valid to go to the Washington insiders who have paved the way for systemic wealth extraction.

     When we say the 1% it's an opaque idea. At this point we've branded the 99% vs the 1% in the minds of the public, but we haven't yet introduced the 1% to the masses. Our scenario is currently devoid a villain (or in this case a cabal of villains) with faces and stories. we get a chance to introduce america to the plunderers who are at the heart of the collapse and we get to explain their misdeeds on an individual level

     Tactic wise I think this is a solid opportunity for small groups of protesters to do something effective. Even a small crew could go and film the estates and document the obscene wealth of these greedy criminals, and of course if a larger group wanted to they could hold much larger actions. I think it'd be amazing to hold a speak out about foreclosures, dept, and poverty at the residences of these 1%ers. the more research into the 1%er you do before visiting the better.
