I have a great collection of people beginning to follow me on Twitter! Thanks people, you encourage me to fight the good fight! Let me share some of my more interesting (and some puzzling) followers:
I'd love to talk with you and get some advice! Your influence could have a big impact on fixing Occupy Vancouver!
If you're a 'real' Kennedy, could you help a revolutionary writer out with some WordPress enhancements?

I think I once told Sarah Beuhler this was "Consent through silence"

#WhatHaveYouDoneForMeLately?
David Suzuki came to OV, it was inspiring to have such a big name TV star come speak to us at OV! Later, he sent a couple very excellent PR gurus to teach us a thing or two about how to make and communicate with media.

Linked from the DenverPost- can we be more sensational guys!
An article was shared with me today about the goings-on in Denver. They are apparently experiencing some hard times. Here’s a quote from it: (click for link)
“Our decision is based on festering frustrations with a small sector of OD who continue to marginalize, silence, and threaten our communities and ally communities. Despite the hard work of many involved in OD, its political platform continues to be framed by and for economically privileged, hyper-nationalist white heterosexual males. Experiences of race, gender, class, nationality, immigration status, and a multitude of other identities continue to be buried underneath the dominant “We are the 99%” narrative.

The Council of Canadians will fight for our freedom! (Right?)
Unconfirmed sources have indicated that Occupy Vancouver has made changes in their moderation of the OV Facebook Page Occupy Vancouver (Moderated). This page has become a hotbed of controversy after a number of previous administrators though themselves to be Il Duche.
The infighting on this page got so excited, one member created a page called “Occupy Your Banned!”. Unfortunately, everyone got banned, and someone reenacted the Occupy Vancouver Reichstag fire. It was a perfect re-enactment of life under the new regime– only, it appeared to be theater by those very people…

Yes Harsha, he puts me to sleep too!
Our letter writing campaign was a success! Davie Eby, retired ninja hunter, and beloved politician (dressed in civil libertarian clothes) spoke out against the televising of the hockey riot trials! There is speculation this is related to a potential patrimony case between David & Christy Clark– but there is no documentation to prove it. Quatchi says he believes it though…

More harassment from a staff member of OpenMedia.ca.
Okay, one last post before I go to bed. Wanted to invite everyone to join the “#OccupyVancouver” group on Facebook. It is a bit of a wacky place sometimes, and the first couple of months was erased in someone’s temper tantrum (does anyone know who?) But, a good time was had by all…
Oh! One more important thing! Have a read about Min Reyes‘ experience during all of her hard work launching Occupy Vancouver. Her article Occupy Vancouver: Vindictive Occupy Everyone Who Questions is a masterpiece…
