Come join Occupy Vancouver’s Antics on Facebook! (Free Eby Cream Pies to the first 10 visitors!)
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…

Stanley Cup Rioter’s Trial to Be Live Broadcast! (Or, WTF?)

So, there’s this story on the Stanley Cup Rioters I’m reading where one particular sentence caught my attention:
“During that hearing, Crown counsel Patti Tomasson told the court she intended to apply to broadcast the hearings — something the premier promised in a throne speech earlier this year.”
Perhaps I’m just not up-to-date on Canadian law, but this seems beyond comprehension- they’re having a show trial? Are they farging kidding me!
I haven’t found any mention of this issue at the BCCLA. Shouldn’t they making a statement about it? Can I ask everyone to send a mail to Dave Eby asking that he condemn this move?

Because, seriously, yesterday I was worried about Vancouver becoming Belfast- and, now, with live broadcast show trials, it is looking more like its going to be Berlin on October 28th, 1933!
It appears to me that they are doing this for the Hockey riots to distract us from things. The most obvious one is taking advantage of the people of Vancouver’ s anger at what happened so that we forget how heinous of an idea this is. And for the next stage? The BC Government’s “justice channel”.
I wonder who the first unlucky bastard will be who get’s public shaming for being late on his property taxes. It’s a slippery slope people…
If you want more news on people related to the riot, check out this story on Bert Easterbrook– Hero of the Stanley Cup Riot!

Breaking News! National Post Calls Occupy Vancouver Ninjas “Leftovers”!
Well, you knew it was coming! The ninjas have really started to taco Occupy Vancouver! Time to ask them to return their costumes to Value Village!

OccupyPBX: Emergency Announcement! A call to the 99% to call our leaders!
About a week ago I met a very nice woman who was campaigning for #HeritageNotCondos (okay, I made up the name). She told me that the city was planning to approve one of the West End’s remaining heritage buildings to build a nasty condo! Mayor Plasticman loves to make the 1% richer- right TIDES Foundation?
I was planning to write an article, but was too busy fighting ninjas to concentrate on fighting condos. Gee, you think Harsha would have called for peace by now- she hates new condos, doesn’t she? I thought she hated them like Harper hates bicycles!
Please read this article from OpenFile Vancouver. And, if you are outraged as I am, help the 99% flood the phone lines at City Hall. Make sure you speak with every councilor, mayor, clerk and engineer you can think of speaking to! If 10,000 people vow to make 2 phone calls per-day, until the building is saved- we will prove to the city that the people are indeed more powerful than the government!
And, we will have saved another piece of our heritage from the Developers. Because, did you know that they paid a very significant percentage of our politician’s campaign funds? Isn’t that just plain wrong?

Breaking News: Bert Easterbrook, Hero of the Stanley Cop Riot Arrested at Port Demonstration- says he was innocent!
Bert Easterbrook, hero of the Stanley Cup Riot that started at a Waves Coffee shop, and that Harsha Walia denied was connected to the #BlackBloc has just disclosed he was one of the people arrested at the port demonstration today! Bert is involved with Occupy Vancouver, but the port action was called-off by OV a few hours earlier.

Vancouver’s SunVinceTai published a story about Bert on June 17th that labelled him A hero among the rotten rioting pack! That’s quite the compliment!
Bert is a writer for Cannabis Culture magazine, and Facebook friends with Dana Larsen– a former candidate for the Pot Party and leadership candidate for the NDP who was ousted because of his background in horticulture.

This happened only one week since Mayor Plasticman made the announcement he would support pot legalization!
At the last convention, there was speculation from Alex Tsakumis that Eby could have spent time “in the Larsen hospitality suite with the windows shut and a wet towel under the door…”
Is this what Mayor Gregor means when he says he want’s Vancouver to be the world’s “greenest city?” Or, is that as a reference to the green-coloured sleeping mats that Michael Geller has been quoted cost the city $2,800 per month per-mat!

And, how did this story get linked to so many damn politicians…

How Cults Work- Or, does any of this look familiar?
The vast majority of people who have got involved at Occupy Vancouver are good folk- people who care enough about the problems in out world that they were motivated to go out and do something about it. To them- I applaud you.
However, there are faction(s) in the group that appear to operate outside the bounds of logic. They steadfastly refuse critical thought, and viciously attack those who exercise it. Yet, they equally steadfastly refuse to denounce the use of violence or property destruction in relation to our movement. Say what?
Someone once shared this video with us on the Occupy Vancouver Facebook page (that I was able to re-launch). Of course, you wouldn’t be able to confirm this- because, a decision was taken outside of the GA to wipe it out, eliminating 7 weeks of our organization’s history. It was the equivalent of burning the Library of Congress because .01% of the content is subversive.
Tragic…
Regardless, have a look at the video, it has an eerie similarity to the people who operate in the faction(s). And, if you are/part of OV, and you see things that remind you of your experience- the comments section is here waiting for your input…
