Disgusting....

See, this is my fucking problem.  We, as a society, spend all this money on fighting wars, and fighting eachother, so that we don't have enough money to take care of one another.  FUCKING DISGUSTING!!@#$~~!@#$@#$%!@#$%#$!^

Why we march...on the streets

Recently we have heard from a few people about how marching down the street, and not obeying so called "lawful" orders, is antagonizing to the police.  I do not begrudge anyone of their tactics.  Many will be necessary in order to get the point across.  Violating local traffic bylaws, in order to make a civil point, is hardly a new thing.

We do this because it raises awareness in our community, that there are problems in this world, that are not being given the attention they require.  Sometimes it is greed, sometimes it is aparthied, sometimes unjust laws.  But we do this, because the majority of the people haven't seemed to realize that these problems can be solved.  We march, not because we are going to change anything in the upper echelons, but because we need to know that we have solidarity in our community, and we need to be able to express that.  And have it expressed in return.

Many people honked their horns, raised their fist's, and shouted their support, as we marched.  Because they too understand that you must create a scene in order to get heard.  You must express your indignation, by whatever means are afforded to you.  This does not mean sitting in some office.  To us, it means going out into the community and raising our voices.  Send an email to your MP.  Now tell me, how did that actually change anything?  Your MP gets hundreds, if not thousands of emails a day.  Do you really believe that they have the time to read them all?  And if writing a letter, or meeting with your MP, doesn't change his or her mind, or make a compromise(assuming they even have the power to do so), then basically, you've wasted your time.

So you decide to get involved with one of the constituent groups, or one of the parties.  But once you've spent some time working with some of these people you begin to realize that they are only holding on to their own personal power.  And you see they want more.  So they will work for whoever gives them more power.  Usually, the corporations.  Notice, in a few cases anyway, that MP's of poorer regions, have the most to say on social justice issues.  There's a reason for that....

I want communities to have power.  I want to see the people that want to stand up and fight.  Who are willing and able(or not so able) to say "I stood up for what was right when the time came to do so."  The states law's, and it's actions are wrong, and the people are finally finding their voice.  Don't paint negatively, those who are willing to make a scene.  Those who are willing to go the extra mile, to make sure the point gets heard.

The marches are getting larger and larger.  The established order is getting a little jumpy.  The people who are marching are giving the rope to those who would oppress us.  Those who would violently take away our rights and our humanity.

Magnifique Montréal/Magnificent Montreal

Manifestation à Montréal de marcher inadaptés,
Faire fous missives Multisonic de malversation,
Multitudes de manoeuvre dans un marathon masochiste
Bien que membres de la mafia de manipuler et de mutiler des manuscrits de mandats martiaux.

(i love google translate. and it translates pretty good I think...please comment with better translations..my french isn't that great.  and I don't trust google...)

Montreal manifestation of misfits marching,
Making mad multisonic missives of malfeasance,
Multitudes manoeuvring in a masochistic marathon
While mafia members manipulate and maim manuscripts of martial mandates.

Montreal War Zone

Over this weekend, I have had the pleasure of sitting in front of my computer, watching things unfold in Boston, for the Nonato protests, and Montreal, where the students are still gathering and marching, despite the draconian statute put in place by the charest gov't.   And I've got one thing to say.

FUCK THE POLICE!!

Sorry, did you miss that?  Did I stutter?  No.  Fuck the fuckin police, the jackbooted thugs of the elite class.  This is what happens when you try to protest against the injustice of this world.

Montreal
Cops running over protestors
Cops pepper spraying a restaurant 
Tear gas and more pigs using their vehicles as deadly weapons
Pigs assaulting the media

Boston
Cops running over protestors
Bleeding protestors due to pig stick
Arbitrary detentions for no good reasons

All you gotta do is open up your eyes, take a look around and realize one thing. WE LIVE IN A FUCKING POLICE STATE! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO STOP IT?

Why is London the only city in Canada to "ban" 420?

For the second year in a row, London Po lice, tried to carry out arrests against the annual gathering of marijuana activist's, on April 20th, or more affectionately known as 420.  Unfortunately for them, we were ready for them.  Hundreds of "joints" had been passed around earlier, by members of Occupy London.  When 420 rolled around, police attempted to arrest people for possession of marijuana.  Seems to me, the piggies go a little overboard here in London.  For the second year in a row, the only major Canadian city I can find, where the police get to harass peaceful protesters, and when the Canadian public has said poll after poll, they want to see pot legalized. 

I can remember 3 years ago, police sent in 2 officers around 4:30, and kids ran.  The entire park emptied pretty quick.  We got our smoke in, and the cops pulled their regular show of force.  Pretty much what they've done every 420, before last year.  And then cops showed up in force last year, and started arresting people immediatly.  This year, WE FOUGHT BACK!! AND WE WON!  And then, we went on a march to protest the only police force in Canada that has the audacity to arrest people on 420.


2 people were arrested for possession.  Last year 6 were arrested.  Many arrests were prevented on 420, thanks to the out of the box thinking by OLO.   The best part, in my humble opinion, is the footage we got, of the po lice attempting to arrest for possession, of TOBACCO!!! LMFAO!!!

Why Greg Renouf is a goof..

This guy just doesn't get it.  Lacks the capacity to learn, and has a huge capacity for doubletalk.  So, well, I guess that makes him good at learning doubletalk...


So this goof, decides he wants to go on some crusade about me...ok.  Hey asshole, everyone makes mistakes. That RT interview was not my best, but I did make the real points clear enough.  That I don't support idiots acting out of anger...Such as yourself greg.  So, you've been banned from occupy toronto and vancouver, and yet you think you can still attend.  Fuck yourself loser.  You're misogyny is quite telling, and you're idiocy even more so.  Telling someone to stick their head in an oven, while not very nice, has nothing to do with the holocaust, and anyone who thinks so, is A FUCKING MORON.  That goes out to not just mr goof, but certain members within the occupy movement, who I am unable to name...oh ya... and celina dycke too.


But anyway, so the members of OTME have decided to put me on a short term ban.  Which I find extremely hilarious, as I don't post there anyway.  Also, as this had nothing to do with occupy, I don't even understand why they bothered with this.  To each their own.  I hear they all agreed with me, but in the end, for some god unknown reason, they VOTEDagainst me...  Again, lmao...


Oh, btw, this goof, has threatened members of the activist community with police involvement, because he doesn't agree with their tactics.  This guy has no solidarity, no sense of what is right and wrong, and a misguided belief that he is the end all, be all, of activism.  He wants to be a fucking goof, than let him.  Oh ya, my page isn't for losers to comment, so if you're going to a fucking loser, do me a favour and refrain from your moronic post's.  If you do, don't complain censorship.  This is my wall assholes.  Go stick your head in an oven.
