Should Occupations Distance Themselves from Occupy Oakland?

A member of the Vancouver CoC is inspired by these people...

The Occupy Black Bloc issue continues to get traction in the media- slowly, the world is realizing that Diversity of Tactics is damaging our movement…

A couple of days ago I tweeted a story by Jon Stewart warning Occupy Oakland that You will always be judged by your worst elements. And, it appears that Jon knows what he is talking about here- Black Bloc practitioners interfered with his Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington DC last year.

Tina Dupuy wrote an excellent article on the subject just a few days ago, brilliantly debunking all of the FUD created by the Black Bloc’s ‘philosophy’. She discusses this issue in a video with Thom Hartmann of Russia Today.

An Anonymous plea to BlackBloc…

Someone with Anonymous (who will probably stay anonymous, lol) wrote a short essay to the Occupy Oakland Black Bloc. Their sentiment is perfectly aligned with mine so thought I’d share.

I posted this on the Occupy BC facebook page earlier today. It seems that Raincoaster found it- her comment is quite interesting…

Police Caught as Agent Provocateurs/Black Bloc in Montebello

http://youtu.be/gAfzUOx53Rg

This is real folks- in Canada, our government have been using Black Bloc tactics to discredit protest movements. We need a national inquiry!

Equally, the Occupy movement should not tolerate Black Bloc tactics- they enable the police to infiltrate us…
