Dave, Last night I went home with tears in my eyes. It must have been looked quite obvious, because a woman who didn’t know me stopped and asked if I was okay. It was after 10pm and we were on the subway, quite an unusual situation. I got home, cried some more, and started working …

When Dave Vasey confronted me at the beginning of the last Occupy Toronro Action Committee meeting we had an agreement that I would post my letter to the people of OT to each committee through the mailing lists. Then, when it came time to send out my mail I noticed I was banned- despite the …

Censored! A Letter to the People of Occupy Toronto

Here’s a letter I posted to all of the people at Occupy Toronto- that is, all of those who I could reach. It seems, unfortunately, that some of the people who consider themselves as leaders in our leaderless organisation have decided to practice conviction without trial. So, contrary to our agreement, they blocked my ability …

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wd7vUOCE8M?rel=0&w=560&h=315 I’m currently researching an essay on the politicization of Civil Liberties Associations. Today I found an interesting video by Stimular0r interviewing Laurence Hildes, the head of the National Lawyers Guild. The video discusses David Eby’s denouncement of the Heart Attack incident during the Olympics.

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

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 …

How the notion of” live and let live’ can lead to enabling dysfunctional communities

By grenouf in Anti-Violence, Black Bloc, British Columbia, Canada, Conspiracy, First Nations, Harsha Walia, Occupy Movement, Occupy Vancouver, Politics, Vancouver, Violence

by Eamonn O’Brien, posted originally on “Live and let live” means we all try to be very tolerant in the various communities we live. When we walk down this road of compassion and tolerance we see that the inequities of society have left deep dysfunctional pitfalls in our path. WE have to be always mindful that tolerance can lead …

I met someone with an interesting persepctive while I was staying at the hostel in Victoria last week. He was from Mexico, from a political family, and had some relevant ideas to share with the Occupy movement. His words have been resonating in my head ever since we talked… I shared my experience setting-up the …

Occupy Vancouver is an unsafe place (Dare you walk down her path?)

I had a chance meeting with someone on the ferry a couple of days ago. He was friends with Ashlee, the girl who tragically died at Occupy Vancouver. He confirmed his belief that the incident was not connected to Occupy- but part of her personal experience. I could see how he was touched by her …
