Occupy Toronto Promotes Indigenous Abusing Con-Artist (feat. Kevin Annett, Carrie Lester & Judy Rebick)

By grenouf in Canadian Auto Workers, First Nations, Judy Rebick, Kevin Annett, Occupy Toronto

It’s widely known that the remaining hangers-on at Occupy Toronto are a clueless bunch, as I described them yesterday, they’re a lot like the Japanese soldiers who were found hiding away a couple decades after WWII who didn’t know that the war was over. If you’ve ever wondered how stupid (or corrupt) OT’s remaining members are, today’s story will make that very clear.

Today the people running the Occupy Toronto Livestream (dodgy) fundraiser had a ‘special’ guest on their show- Kevin Annett, a widely exposed con-artist who’s famous for his widespread abuse of indigenous people across the country. Adding insult to injury, his appearance came just before a leader of Idle No More Toronto gave them a cash donation.

And, curiously, all this happened on the campus of Ryerson University- a school with three professors who have been burned by their connection to Annett. One of them, Judy Rebick, is scheduled to speak on the OT’s fundraiser this weekend…

[Updated] Occupy Toronto Launches A Somewhat Misleading Fundraiser! (Feat. Captain Yarr!)

By grenouf in Occupy Toronto

Captain Yarr (a.k.a Dee Shangar) being led away by the police…

UPDATE: Captain Yarr has announced that Ryerson University professor (and anarchist supporter) Judy Rebick will be joining on Saturday or Sunday to support his cop-baiting Livestream!

UPDATE 2: I’ve been told that it wasn’t the wireless stick that was stolen at Zach Ruiter’s protest, but ‘something else’. What it was has not been disclosed- supposedly, it has now been returned. However, this conflicts with what Captain Yarr has said himself…

UPDATE 3: The Livestreamers have announced they’re going to have Kevin Annett on their show today. Annett is a well-known con artist who has caused enormous pain for indigenous communities. Judy Rebick previously promoted him.

___________________________

If you’re a regular reader you may remember Captain Yarr (a.k.a. Dee Shangar), one of the few remaining people who still identifies himself as Occupy Toronto. Yarr’s first appearance on this site was during Activistocrat Sakura Saunder’s anti ~~Barrick Gold~~ Israel protest that turned into a cop-baiting rally. During the rally Yarr started trying to push his way through police lines crying “I am media!” and complaining about “police brutality” when the cop (gently) stopped him from crossing the line. He behaved the same way during the Zach Ruiter/Cheri DiNovo racist anti-police march, crying “I’m media” while trying to push through some cops and walk down a busy street.

Up until recently, Yarr led Occupy Toronto’s Livestream, broadcasting live video of various radical events around the city. But, then, on June 13th, someone stole Occupy Toronto’s USB Internet stick- Captain Yarr has lost his ‘media pass’. Since then OT’s Livestream service has mostly been off the air. In an effort to reclaim his ‘media’ status, Captain Yarr, and a few remaining stragglers, have launched a (misleading) fundraiser today….

Love Is The Movement Tattoos: The Mark Of The Activistocrat (feat. TIDES Foundation & Hollyhock)

After almost two years of research it’s become quite clear that a large part of Canada’ environmental protest movement is organized an led by a small, tightly knit, group of people. They have a lot of commonalities between each other- the tactics they use, their connections to unions, the messages they put out, and their connections to TIDES Foundation NGO’s. People at Occupy Toronto outside their circles coined a name for these professional activists: Activistocrats.

Well, it turns out that a number of the activistocrats have one more thing in common, many wear the same tattoo- the mark of the Activistocrat…

Activists, Anarchists, Arson, Political Theatre And Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson’s Peter Principle…

By grenouf in DTES, Harsha Walia, Politics, Violence, VPD

Gregor Robertson- If only it were as easy as building bike lanes!

Yesterday Vancouver’s Gastown Gazette published a story calling on Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson to “Take Action Before Arson”. The article was in reference to the alleged violence and mayhem being caused by the city’s anti gentrification extremists. They’ve been harassing business owners (and their customers), vandalizing, and marching down the streets with lit torches- yet, the response from the city has been weak. It was only after an East Vancouver house got burned down that it seemed mayor Robertson was ready to take any real action.

On Friday, a group of protesters gathered in front of the Cuchillo restaurant, some were wearing masks. Protesters chanted about matches, torches and burning-down condos. The Gastown Gazette has called on the mayor to take action before this happens. It’s a noble thought, but it’s equally totally misguided- Gregor Robertson’s handling of the anarchists has been a massive fail.

Cheri DiNovo Slaps Eco-Terrorist Training Camp For Excluding Trans Women! (Feat. Deep Green Resistance)

By grenouf in Cheri DiNovo, Deep Green Resistance, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Cheri DiNovo- Encouraging anarchist follies...

Cheri DiNovo at Zach Ruiter’s Racist Anti-Police Rally…

The Deep Green Resistance are a cult-like organization of anarcho-primitivists. It’s their belief that the world is about to end and that the only solution is to abandon industrialization and live off the land. They have a plan to get us there too- a revolutionary battle cry calling the people to blow up dams, power lines, factories and smash the state! The DGR are (wannabe) eco-terrorists.

This week Parkdale’s MPP Cheri DiNovo stepped out and took a curious stand against the DGR. The first surprise is that she actually denounced an anarchist group- she’s spent a lot of time around them over the past year including Zach Ruiter’s GE-Hitachi mess, with the Sea Shepherds at Marineland, and at the anarcho-syndicalist marches at Porter Airlines. Despite the anarchist’s bad behaviour at these events, DiNovo has consistently neglected to speak out.

But the bigger surprise was that her complaints had absolutely nothing to do with the fact DGR is a violence promoting obedience cult. DiNovo’s complaint is that this cult is prejudiced against and excludes trans people from their training camps…

[Updated] Crown Corporation Conducts Illegal Intrusion Into Nuttall & Korody’s Home (feat. CBC News)

By grenouf in CBC, MediaWatch, Terrorism, Vancouver

Screenshot from CBC New’s story on the bomber’s apartment…

Update: A report by the Canadian Press has quoted the landlord saying the police told him it was okay to show the apartment to reporters. The landlord, reporters, and (maybe) police should all know better than this.

On July 2nd Canadians were awakened with news that the RCMP have arrested two people for terrorist offences John Nuttall and Amanda Korody allegedly placed pressure cooker bombs on the lawn of the provincial legislature in Victoria BC for the July 1 Canada Day festivities. Luckily (for Victoria) the bombers were provided with inert materials.

For Steve Lus of CBC News and Jonathan Hayward of the Canadian Press (and perhaps others) the alleged bombing attempt gave them the opportunity to sink to a new level of opportunist depravity. Nuttall & Korody’s landlord allowed the journalists to walk through their home without prior consent. Lus & Hayward went as far as to take pictures of intimate parts of the couple’s lives- their editors went as far as to publish them, even picture’s of cat food bowls.

Josh Paterson of the BC Civil Liberties Association quickly jumped in, rightly stating that members of the media violated the couple’s rights. That’s good, but Paterson missed out on what’s potentially a much larger issue- the CBC is a Crown Corporation, owned by the government. A government employee just walked into the couple’s house uninvited (and without a warrant), took pictures, and published them for the whole world to see.

Public humiliation- Maoist & Soviet dictatorship style…

University Of Toronto Maoists Gone Stupid At The Trans March!

By grenouf in Student Unions

“I am not amused with my UofT followers!”

Back in April I covered the story about how a group of crazy Maoists and anarchists attempted to crush free speech at the University of Toronto. The speech they were trying to suppress was of Men’s Rights Advocates who were trying to hold a meeting at the (appropriately chosen) Zoological Sciences building. The protesters ended up pulling the fire alarm- what happened was more like high school than university.

I ran across the same group of Maoists at Friday’s Trans march. It appears that they recognized me and made the incorrect assumption that I was a Men’s Rights Advocate. This is strange, because the article I wrote about what happened in April was highly critical of the MRA’s (as well as the Maoists and anarchists)…

[Updated] Breaking: #SwampLine9 Supporters Claim Disruptions Due To Rail Sabotage…

By grenouf in Sakura Saunders

350.org must be so proud of them!

Update: Convicted G20 ringleader Alex Hundert liked this story so much he re-tweeted it for all of his friends!

—————————————-

A statement was released yesterday on an anarchist website by a group identifying themselves as “some anarchists”. In it they not only claim to have sabotaged a train line, but have also given simple instructions on how to do it. If true, this is a dangerous progression (and matches some of the organizer’s Ruckus Society training).

The online representative for the pipeline occupiers responded cheering…

[Updated] Enbridge Pipeline Occupier Native Headdress Theatre (Or: #SwampLine9 protesters gone wild!)

By grenouf in Alex Hundert, Council of Canadians, Dave Vasey, Endbridge Pipeline, First Nations, OPSEU, Politics

Update: If you check out this video from the CBC you’ll see that the native protester is a young man and that the police treated him exceedingly politely.

_____________________

The Line 9 pipeline pumping station hijacking is now officially over- the police came in this morning, 20 protesters were arrested and it’s been reported they’ve all now been released. Some of the leaders of the hijacking have a raw hatred for the police, so it’s inevitable they’ll throw in some anti-cop theatre. This protest’s grand finale comes in the form of a native man’s headdress and ‘regalia’.

Though it’s unknown if the man was wearing his headdress throughout the occupation, but he was wearing it at the time of his arrest. A headdress doesn’t fit very well into a police van, and it’s standard procedure to take away satchels and other decorative items when someone is arrested. The cops did their job by the book- which is exactly what the protesters had hoped for and knew was coming.
