silentsailor28 said:If they had actually wanted to fix things, they would have dealt with the North Side fans before they even set foot in the stadium. It was also common knowledge that because of Mamić, certain groups would face jail time, so an "alternative" was never found—but instead, a massive number of people were simply banned. We used to be two steps ahead of them, but now we’re on equal footing, especially since their flashy choreographed displays will likely draw huge crowds to the North Side in the near future. I wouldn't be surprised if our numbers drop below theirs. The reality is that 90% of them will just be derby-day fans, but who really cares about that...

Congratulations to the Executive. He effectively barred almost every true fan from the stadium, only to go out and start his own fan club—one he'll bolster by chartering paid buses from all over the US, much like he did while the actual supporters were boycotting him.
Critics would draw parallels to the situation at that one club whose anthems he seems to know by heart.

These are the moves of a master strategist. My compliments to him and all his subordinates, as well as everyone who intends to be a pawn in his little game. 🙂 A man greater than the club and its supporters himself. 🙏

Pure savagery.

The numbers are stacking up fast. We’ve got huge turnout in places like St. Louis, then 700 signatures in one day from folks in Indianapolis, plus 300 coming out of Austin, and I’m hearing about 900 hitting the books over in Seattle—and they're just getting started. Toss in those big rallies and the tournament in Denver, then there's tomorrow's tournament in Phoenix...

Something's brewing, people.☕

I mean, if you actually sat down and tallied up everything spent at all the bars and spots around town in a place like Columbus, you'd easily be looking at figures well into the millions...

Little Rock pulled together a massive amount of signatures—Karlson's crew hit 700 in a single day, Memphis 300 is up there, and I hear Akron is already at 900 and they’re just getting started. Plus, there’s all this networking going on—a tournament in Ivanhoe, then another one in Oakland tomorrow...

Something's definitely brewing, folks. ☕

We hit over 200 in Tulsa in just one day—and we aren't slowing down. 🙂

For those of you out there gathering signatures at booths or setting up in public spaces—like a major downtown plaza or a central park—is it actually necessary to secure official permits from City Hall, or is it all just a matter of making a backroom deal with local politicians?

Yeah... we actually went to City Hall first to get the green light for the booth and the public space, then took that permit down to the police department...

Aha, thanks for the heads-up, I appreciate the info 👍

How much did you end up paying to get that certification issued?

Give me a break, seriously—can we please stop with all this constant doom and gloom? It’s like everyone is just waiting for the sky to fall. We all know how this goes; people act like things are going to miraculously fix themselves overnight, but let’s be real, nothing ever actually changes...

That’s total bullshit, just like Bloomberg's little fix. Pure smoke and mirrors. Now they're just sweating because most of the press corps already signed that petition.

If the inspectors don't back their original call, we might as well be living under Idi Amin in Kenya. This whole sports inspection thing has zero connection to the war in Ukraine.

But honestly, after the crazy response to the petition, none of that matters. With four players on board, this whole thing is wrapped up. We're ready to take down the evil.

I find myself in complete agreement with Jesse Campbell. We are essentially waiting on the Department of Defense here; they hold the final authority. There isn't much complexity to unravel—we simply need to see the court's ruling upheld, specifically the mandate that Dinamo must align its operations with the principle of one member, one vote!
The weak-willed cowards were terrified by that petition, and now they’re attempting to gaslight the public by acting as if nothing is amiss. Most people just swallow whatever nonsense is fed to them, which is precisely why the purpose of a petition is to allow anyone who agrees with the sentiment to sign it, regardless of whether they are an official club member, a Die-hard Dinamo fan, or just some bystander.
Truth has a way of prevailing in the end, so I harbor no fear. That day is inevitably coming. 🙂

Jesse Campbell said:The inspectors need to stick to their original ruling, otherwise we’re basically living in a chaotic mess like Idi Amin's Kenya. Honestly, trying to link this sports inspection process to what's happening in Ukraine is a massive stretch.

So, when is this actually going to happen? I want a specific date for the decision—or at least a rough timeframe. Are we talking a month, two months, three months, or a year from now? And please, spare me the "tick-tock" nonsense. Given how slowly these bureaucrats run the country, they’ll probably all be out of office by autumn anyway. By then, we can deal with the sports inspectors and the Department of Defense on our own terms. I just don't want us getting screwed over in the end. Just sayin...

The crew over at Folka is grinding every single night until 11 PM just to get two new murals finished by Sunday. We're expecting a huge turnout, and since the Together for Dinamo crowd said they're coming too, we'll probably end up with a bunch of autographs 🙂. Come hang out for some beer, BBQ, and just messing around with the guys from the stands 🙂.

I guess the longer and harder this fight gets, the sweeter the victory will feel one day. Evil never wins over good in the end... I mean, back in the 90s, those militias had all the bases and the heavy weaponry, they did everything "by the book," and well, we all know how that turned out... These guys are going to lose too, that's for sure. It's just a matter of when and where.

It should happen this month. Doesn't matter who's running the Department of Defense right now because the law is pretty clear. Of course, in America, people still find ways to bend the rules. It's a joke. Now there’s this new law on associations coming up too. It's obvious they don't run Dinamo democratically, which is exactly how they win. They need to make it one member, one vote.

Doesn't mean there aren't other ways to play this. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that the idea behind Dinamo survives all this crap. Seeing those 400 people in the West stands during that last round—with an atmosphere that felt like a damn concentration camp—convinced me Dinamo was dead. But then we got that last-minute pivot with the petition and the insane momentum it kicked off.

The turnout shows there's still hope for this club to survive that absolute tyrant at the top. Once we show them the actual number of signatures, they won't be able to claim it’s just a handful of hooligans. That's gonna hit them where it hurts.

Jesse Campbell said:This should probably happen sometime this month—it almost doesn't matter who happens to be running the Department of Defense right now. The law itself is pretty straightforward, really. Of course, in America, people find ways to bend the rules. It's unfortunate. And now there's this new legislation regarding associations coming up. It’s pretty obvious that things at Dinamo aren't being decided democratically, which I suppose is one way they manage to keep winning. They need to make it so everyone gets a say based on a one-member, one-vote principle.

Not that there aren't other ways to handle this, though. At the end of the day, the only thing that truly matters is that the idea of Dinamo survives all of this. During that last game where you had maybe 400 people in the West Stand—and honestly, the atmosphere felt more like a concentration camp than a stadium—I was convinced that Dinamo was finished. But then, we saw this sudden turnaround in the form of a petition, and the sheer momentum and energy it sparked was just incredible.

The response suggests there’s still hope for our club, and that it might actually outlast its current autocrat. Plus, the total number of signatures will serve as a solid argument that this isn't just some demand from a small group of hooligans. That's what really gets under their skin.

And if they don't like the way the law looks, they can just push through amendments in America within 24 hours without any real public debate (I mean, they put a link on a website and let you type a comment, but calling that a "public debate" is a stretch). 🙄

I'm just hoping that in those "brilliant" political minds of theirs, things line up like this: massive response equals public outcry, which equals votes (since they clearly lack the willpower to deal with the evil for the right reasons).

Good luck, guys—you definitely have my signature.

Hey, can someone please point me in the right direction? Does anyone know where I can find or get one of these cloths made around Washington, D.C.? I can't see the image you linked, man. Drop a description or re-upload it if you want me to weigh in on whatever's going on there. Thanks.

It's no secret that things aren't decided democratically at Dinamo, which is actually one of our paths to victory. We need to make it possible to vote on a "one member, one vote" basis.

During that last game where you only had 400 people in the West Stand—and man, the atmosphere felt like a literal prison camp—I was convinced that Dinamo was dead. But then, we saw this massive last-minute turnaround thanks to the petition and the incredible momentum it sparked.

The response just shows there's still hope for our club, and that it will survive even the most stubborn autocrats. Plus, the number of signatures will be a rock-solid argument proving this isn't just a handful of hooligans making noise. That really gets under their skin.

Jesse, if you have even a tiny shred of dignity left, please, as a "colleague," stop with the LIES. You are constantly lying and feeding people FALSE hope! This fight will be won on the streets when the time comes! It certainly won't be won on paper like the constant false hope you keep pushing! If you think I'm talking nonsense, then go talk to the people (like me) who got beat up in San Francisco while your car just sat there watching us bleed, just so you could personally say, "Now, are we going to get some help?!" Look, you turned out to be a total coward, so as a coward, you have no right to speak for any kind of struggle! Stop doing this NOW on behalf of everyone who is SINCERELY fighting every single day! Stop embarrassing us day after day! If you have any dignity left at all!
