#occupy London....

[butchersapron]

Me too

Just relax, will you. It's not a bloody revolution - it's a worldwide event - the beginnings of change

And part of that change is not saying how you felt an action went?

 

[butchersapron]

Mouth shut smokedout. Nothing to do with you anymore.

Occupy the world. HUGE crowd in Berlin.http://yfrog.com/h64hlwnj

 

[Luther Blissett]

the OP was probably c&p'd from the main facebook page. it was the original call out from the 'organisers'. it was changed a few days ago.

Thx. I'll have a search to see if anyone's already done a debunk on the zeitgeist mythos in prep for future rallies. If there's nothing suitable that's already available from anarchist lit or libertarian left, there maybe sthg academic that I can mashup/cutup/adapt rather than research/write from scratch

ONE THOUSAND CULTISTS KETTLED AT ST.PAULS

It was weird. Assange cleaved through the crowd surrounded by disciples – hundreds of them.Elsewhere small groups of zeitgeist adhrents addressed small gatherings of the initiates. the main crowd was kettled by St.Pauls. they chanted ‘Let us out’ but they were all happy clappy like they were bearing witness to something and wanted to suffer. It was comrades FUCKING WEIRD. Like the people had understood the forms of the ocupations but had no idea of content.Content didn’t matter.What was neededwas to be there. Assange left surrounded by praetorian guards – with him went the energy.he went into a newsagent. For hours afterwards adherents struggled to buy anything from the shop touched by his hand. It was fucking weird. There was repetitive chanting like a cathloic mass. Assange or another would say to the crowd ‘You must think for yourselves’ and the crowd would dirge back ‘we must think for ourselves’. V for vendetta masks, Anonymous, horizontal hand waving, cod phlosophy slogans like ‘we must evolve’….emphasis that none of this was ‘political’. Fuck me – where’s the rosicrucians phone number…i take back everything i said. There is nothing for our class here comrades – one of the most clueless inactions ever.

Is your experience of london occupy different? Post it up.

 

[lopsidedbunny]

today's news tomorrow chip paper it seems an odd day to do it... but I am impressed that 3000 odd people turned out for it.

Jesus, the facebook page is full of liberals and free market capitalist types

Twice I posted to you two very well written articles on how it's inevitable that conspiracy mythos appeared because the protests are about the financial institutions & the way governments use peoples' money (the cuts). But no. You just keep going round and round with it.

So it's not fucking perfect, but nothing ever is.

It's something that needs to be dealt with, not something to walk away from.

Unless of course you want these antisemitic mythos and NWO bullshit to go unchallenged. Even when you take away the conspiracy theories, the fact remains that people all over are being screwed - did you not read the news about how people are struggling to pay rents here in UK? Did you miss the J14 protests in Israel?.

By all means sit in your armchair pontificating on the imperfection of peoples' protests and post up derogatory articles by inconsequential violent-fantasists like the spineless Mr.Cartilage who basically is feeding the status quo by finding no connection with the protest and basically rubbishing it. Nothing will change with your approach - you just mock from the sidelines.

some photos from Occupy Liverpool and sit in protest at Barclays Bank this way >

 

[Gramsci]

It was a good atmosphere there in afternoon. Dont know what it was like later in evening. Police were contradictory. Said you couldnt go in at one point ( to clear road), then said people would be let in later.

When I tried to get in later Copper said I could go in but could not guarantee I would be let out.

I noticed that the Police were letting pedestrians go along the pavement at one point so I went along with a group of them to get to protest. There were a lot of bemused tourists around. I later walked out the same way I came in.

It was all peaceful when I was there. The "Black Bloc" were not in evidence.

I'm in for the next one. I've only really just started paying attention

some of the core people on the Birmingham facebook group are freeman of the land types. I'm having to keep my mouth very shut, I'd suggest you don't come anywhere near it.. but I also know that there were some good anarchists down there today. I'm hoping that arguments can be won face to face, because online stuff never goes anywhere.
No evidence of conspiraloons yet, or dickhead libertarians, but I'm sure they are there, fotl and libertarianism often goes hand in hand from what I've seen.

 

[Blagsta]

Lol, yeah I'm not very good at keeping my mouth shut online

 

[sihhi]

This is what happens when you don't talk to/ignore people working on a different scale for similar aims on the basis of a 'wouldn't the whole world on the same day be cool whim?'. 5,000 facebook attendees apparently - where were they? Screw facebook.

 

[Gramsci]

Police are on radio news saying they are trying to clear St Pauls to protect it. When I was there the protestors were not doing any damage. No one was trying to climb St Pauls to put banners up on the Church. So Id say the protestors were being careful to respect the building.
