An Anonymous plea to BlackBloc…

By grenouf in Black Bloc, Occupy Movement, Occupy Oakland, Occupy Vancouver, Politics, Raincoaster, Violence

Someone with Anonymous (who will probably stay anonymous, lol) wrote a short essay to the Occupy Oakland Black Bloc. Their sentiment is perfectly aligned with mine so thought I’d share. I posted this on the Occupy BC facebook page earlier today. It seems that Raincoaster found it- her comment is quite interesting…

Dear Dr. Ostrow, I am writing in reference to the behavior of one of your employees- Lauren Gill, who has misused her position as a mental health professional to attack me for political means… I met Lauren at Occupy Vancouver, and generally had good relations with her- I had even endorsed her campaign for city …

I’ve had my doubts about Chris for a while now- he has been involved in several incidents where people were summarily ‘banished’ from Occupy Vancouver. (Curiously, this list is now larger that those who still work with OV…) There is a curious coincidence between Chris’ name, and the name of a quite famous BC NDP …

[vimeo 35761495 w=400 h=225] I have a lot of friends on this video- miss y’all. And, Captain Sweep speaks brilliantly about our cause. (Though they play his least great moment at the very end…) Related articles This picture of Occupy Vancouver is poetic… (www.genuinewitty.com) Occupy Vancouver Has Set the Mark (stevebeckow.com) Occupy Vancouver Protesters Assault …

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 …

It has been a few days since I posted my question about the Black Bloc– and, as expected, it seemed to have upset a person or two. It’s not that I have intended to offend them, I’d much rather write positive stories like the story in the Observer, or the Occupy Harper and Occupy Skytrain …

I’ve been doing some reading on the history of the Black Bloc the past few days- fascinating stuff. And, each day, it becomes more apparent that the Black Bloc is a serious menace for more cities than Vancouver. This menace is going Global, fast- will write more about this in the future… For today, I want to …

My Response to Mr Neil of The Council of Canadians

Dear Mr Neil, Thank you for the quick response. I have always held your organization in great esteem, and have no expectation the Council of Canadians wants to bring Occupy Vancouver to the point of revolution! This is inconceivable to me, as it always has been of course! Your’s is an organization I’d aspire to …
