The Curious Case of Adam Smolcic, David Eby & the Occupy Movement.

I’ve been holding off on this story for a while- wasn’t sure where it would lead, and thought I’d give it some time to percolate more information became available. I’ve learned a few things since then- and, along with other stories I’ll publish over the next few days, it appears to have a some significance to solving the puzzle behind the Canadian Occupy movement in Canada.

Adam Smolcic is a marijuana activist with a long record of police incidents and apparently false accusations. His history caught my attention when I noticed he had worked with David Eby and the BC Civil Liberties Association on a rather dubious police complaint…

The first case to come to my attention was an incident where Adam claimed to have witnessed Vancouver police shooting a homeless man. Adam said he recorded this incident on his mobile phone but, when a police officer took the phone from him they erased the evidence. That said, he admitted to being under the influence of his beloved Mary Jane…

David Eby, the head of the BC Civil Liberties Association, couldn’t resist getting involved. As an aspiring politician, the free publicity was useful- and, he tends to jump at any opportunity to drive an anvil between police and civilians. Eby is well-known as one of the city’s leading cop haters, As you’ve seen with his connections to the Black Bloc during the Olympics, his close relationship to Harsha Walia, his refusal to stand-up against the violence we’ve seen at Occupy Vancouver, and his challenges drinking sub-par wine.

United Steel Workers Made Me Feel Cheap Today…

Each time a union pulls-out a video camera at an Occupy event it leaves me feeling used. Not a good kind of used either- more the kind of used a prisoner would feel after dropping the soap in Coalinga State Hospital.

We had a similar incident in Vancouver during CUPE‘s national convention. There was a direct action called outside of the camp that most people went to. And, coincidentally, just at the same time, 2000+ members of the union showed-up to film another promotional video. In this case, they play-acted as if they were holding a General Assembly- only, there were 100’s of them and there are only three occupiers in the video. And, of course, there was a homeless man I don’t recognize getting high-fives from CUPE members!

Tacky…

Now, This Is Interesting!

So I posted a link to the Media Co-Op page where they linked to me last night. I woke up today to find it was re-posted/shared by Bert Easterbrook. And, his comment nearly popped my eyes out- it seems we think alike! I think I’m beginning to like him…

Then, I go to this blog’s stats page to see how things are going (well, it appears, a lot of people have been coming here the past few days.) The top search term this morning, once again, blew my mind!

Say it ain’t true Harsha- who out there thinks you are mafia? Not something I would have thought of, but someone sure seems to. Perhaps even two people…

The last thing I’ll share with you today is a clipping of a conversation I had initiated with our city government. Mayor Gregor (who wasn’t polite enough to invite me over to his place when I was over on Cortes Island, lol) posted a message about ‘thirst’ and it reminded me of the issue with the Curtis Brick fountain. So I asked:

I’ll share the results with you when they come in. That said, considering I’ve been trying to get this fixed since October, I’ll refrain from holding my breath. Hate to say that- but it appears that Sarah Blyth totally dropped the ball on this one…

A Brilliant Idea From Occupy Bellingham!

Westboro Baptist Church at the United Nations ...

Bellingham has always been a special place for me- as someone who grew up in British Columbia, it was the city we would drive to for inexpensive stores with a wider selection of goods. Canada is a great country, but most everything seems to be overpriced- our retailers are really taking advantage of us.

Welcome Media Co-Op Readers! (Do they receive Government Funding?)

The Media Arm Of The Black Bloc

It appears that Media Co-Op has linked to my site! This organization is one of Canada’s foremost producer of violence inciting media. Something to be proud of! (if you are a Black Bloc terrorist…)

Media Co-Op is most famous for filming Harsha Walia’s racist & sexist hate video a filmed at Irwin Oostende’s  rave club/media centre called the W2 Media Center. W2 was originally meant to serve the people of the DTES– that said, I’ve been there a number of times, and the only time I saw a DTES resident was outside of the building. What’s up with that Irwin- is it time to hand over the space to someone else?

First-hand account of Irwine attacking a First Nations Transgender person who supports the sex worker community. How gallant! Have they written and published a letter about him on the Internet ? Has he been shunned from the activist community?

Here’s the video. If the phrase “privileged white male” contains Trigger Words for you, or you are a person who can’t handle watching racist/sexist/proviolent attacks on people, I recommend you don’t watch this.

Many of us are particularly disturbed by the concept of de-arresting comrades, sounds like Harsha is promoting criminal violence here. Time for an investigation? Beyond the racism, hate, and incitement of violence- perhaps the most classic quote here is “It’s not about breaking windows, but it is about breaking windows”.

There’s also “Every tactic is immune to criticism!” My tactic is to write and publish about criminal & social injustice-  if this is true, why am I being attacked for my tactics? I have never used words even close to approaching what Harsha Said in this video.

It appears to me that a couple of laws have been broken here- so, what is to be done about it?:

Now, remember, Harsha is defending the Screw-up that killed the anti-Olympic movement– does her positivity about this trainwreck indicate she was happy it was killed? Why?

If you think you can stomach more of this, please follow this link:

If anyone has information on who funds these criminals- could you please let me know? I promise to keep your name confidential, and it will be a public service to our country.

Thanks!
