Please continue to show up at the demonstrations in large numbers tomorrow. In Montreal, We start at 13:00 at Philip’s Square. We can’t afford to crawl back into apathy, in fact, we need to get more Canadians out of their apathy.
Below is a short version of a 17 minute video montage masterfully put together by Pierre Cote. The longer 17 minute version was plaid in a loop at the candle light vigil which took place last Saturday night, when we had the Montreal G20 detainees that were there light the tea lights that were set up on the ground. It was indeed a moving ceremony.
Pierre took raw footage of cops trampling and beating protesters and it played of a screen for not only those who partook, but for any passersby who would actually choose to stop and see for themselves what actually happened rather than what corporate media tells them. I only wish more stopped by.
The last news I heard last Saturday evening was that 13 were still detained.
Watch the video below. Yes, it comes complete with the crazy cop lady, her ‘ colleagues’ and swords or whatever the hell they were.
A reminder as to why we must show up to these events tomorrow and hereafter; why we must never give up insisting on an inquiry as to what happened. The police are now scrambling looking for “Canada’s most wanted”; an effort in some whitewash; damage control. Me thinks we’re a gettin’ closer to the truth. Let’s continue plugging away before any kind of dissent is criminalized.
And speaking of criminalized, I did have a troll not long ago; he has a blog called Clancop. Now, you’ve really got to imagine the kind of winner he must be, calling himself “Clancop” (Klu Klux Klan Cop?). And if you read the wingnutty blog length comments he published at my post talking about the candle light vigil last week as well as this post, What If There Were No Black Bloc… I know I shouldn’t feed trolls and I probably broke every blogging rule, but in this instance, I made an exception. He is obviously even too nutty for Stephen Taylor’s Blogging Insane Assylum. I wanted him to bring out the truth about what he really thought as it is the growing evil thoughts of today’s conservatives.
I will just bring you two highlights; one is he was perfectly ok with how the cops roughed up Mr John Pruyn as this idiot really believed Mr Pruyn was using his prosthetic leg as a weapon. I always knew many of today’s Harpercon cheerleaders were ok with it, but stopped short of condoning it out loud, until of course, Clancop. Hence, why I kept sparring with him.
The other is, he has great hope that the cops start reading my blog. Gee, I wonder if I should tone down the profanity and/or the vulgar metaphors I sometimes use? But, all jokes aside, Clancop is representative of that Pinochet-esque hard right that is seeking to stamp out dissent. Here is the quote from the charmer regarding his hopes for the police state:
Keep up the pathetic blog, it just allows the police to keep tabs on you and your radical readership… Hilarious
That had to take the cake for me. It’s laughable now, but in the future…who knows? Again, that’s why we need to keep this going. Please everybody, I hope you all show up to the various events in your respective towns and cities. And let’s try to stay safe, ok? Be careful who you talk to; the July 1st CLAC march apparently had an issue with an agent provocateur. So apparently, agents provocateurs are here to stay.
Sidenote: Is it just me, or does anyone (that is, those who have actually dared to visit Ezzy IrreLevant’s blog from time to time) actually point and laugh now when they see the sub-title: “Get the Uncensored Version of the Story Before it’s Banned!” Really rich, Ezzy!! Yet, he’s probably amongst the Clancops who would shut dissenters like myself down.
Shorter clancop: “I’m proud to live in a free and democratic society and I hope the government crushes you for your writings and ideas.”

Hey Thwap, I see you had the stomach to sort out this troll’s madness so bright and early on a muggy Saturday morning. You get my kudos of the week.
Street kids having some fun upon discovering an abandoned police car on the street are key arrestees and the organizers of the peace march should have clubbed those leftist hooligans.Next time, provide authentic protesters with tazers,eh!

Yeah, go figure that it was up to the peaceful protesters to do the cops with all their expensive toys and body armour (who were paid double time with our tax dollars, no less! Part of that billion dollar boondoggle) dirty work for them to stop those black bloc from doing their worst. Go figure.
I hope KKKlanKKKop reads this and blows an artery. I’d say the fat old doughnut muncher is about ripe for it.
You know, I spent a fair bit of time looking over you links and I have to say, I can see why you’re so ‘washed…
Michael Moore? You actually listen to that hypocrite?

You see, he is a liar, a cheat and a downright hypocrite. He says things that you make you believe he is something other than what he is. I could go on, there are thousands on these links floating around the internet, but I think I made my point.
Daily Kos? They are so far to the left that even the Huffington Post takes shots at them…

Media Matters? Oh, that George Soros funded operation? The same George Soros who aided the Nazis during the Holocaust?

Aside from their boss’ past, these people are downright crooked. Aside from taking taxpayer funds for being a tax exempt entity (they must be non-partisan to do this), they also distort the facts to push fiction…

I could keep going. For example, the founder of Crooks and Liars is a conspiracy nut who’s deep in the tank for Obama, but I think I made my point. YOU TWITS ARE DRINKING THE “KOOL-AID” BY THE KEG! Wake up, get out of your parent’s basement and educate yourselves… Pathetic…

Yep, all on the tea-bagger hit parade. About half of those links you mention also worship the word of Glenn Beck. Real credible.
