There were a couple of things that truly shocked me at the initial Robocall Rally in Toronto. First, was the inclusion of Sherif Azir, a man who was supposedly an organizer of the “Arab Spring” in Egypt (but who doesn’t appear to be very Egyptian to me). The second shock was when Mathew Carroll of Leadnow.ca introduced …

The Curious Case of Sarah Beuhler, Robocall Rallies and Openmedia.ca
One of the first times I realized something was wrong with Occupy Vancouver was an incident I had with Sarah Beuhler. I noticed during the planning meeting that Sarah was rather stand-offish when unknown people approached her (hardly the trait of a true occupier), but I had no idea how radical her views would be …

Are The Robocall Rallies Calling To Destroy Canadian Democracy?
When I first heard about the Robocall Scandal I was immediately compelled to join the movement to call for an inquiry.

Alex Hundert Forsakes Homeless Occupiers!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UUSwgHab_U?rel=0 Alex, despite his court order not to go to activist events, magically appeared at the eviction today. He’s been stalking me since October- first online, and now this is the third time he has appeared to interfere with me.

Propaganda to Scare Your Pants Off…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB7tcuWsz-E?rel=0 This is scary folks. Not only because of the freakish propagandist sound of how the words are spoken, but it is scary to me because I know that this disinformation is being used to justify an uprising early this summer.
