Sharpshooter Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Then perhaps he should be suspended. There is absolutely no reason to continue with the crap of the last few days. None. It devolved into a populist "say sh!t about 77 and get an echo for the next two pages" and "haha, I also think he's stupid, ra ra ra". It's embarrassing.

Common sense Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Can't believe I'm echoing Scorpio here, but I too think it's time we bring this back to the original discussion. 1.) OV meeting once a day 7pm VAG, no tent city - does it work or not? 2.) Dec 12 is supposedly "shut the ports down day" = similar to what Occupy Oakland did. Does that work, or would it alienate the Vancouver public more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If they still have the support of unions, I think they should hold weekly protests with clear signs and keep the crazy dial set to low. A few weeks of consistent protesting with generally agreeable messages, and people's opinion will start to turn around. As more people join, move to a more frequent protesting schedule. Build momentum, be heard. Continue as long as necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satan's Evil Twin Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I am not sure that the crazy dial can be set to low with OV. Consider this proposal that passed at the Wednesday GA. Proposal: To help us in our decision making especially in situations of (?inaudible?). What we are facing here with this movement is collective karma, oppression, anger, greed. The only way to counter that, especially because we don't have weapons, our only real strength is truth, or love. I propose that every time we start a GA we talk 3 minutes, in silence, to humble ourselves. I noticed, looking in for a while, and a part-time participator that tensions get high and a lot of time people aren't thinking clearly. The best way to deal with this is to take a break and do self-care. It's been proposed since Day 1. We don't seem to have continue that. I've noticed that every time people sit down, take a minute, their next thought is pure and whole. There is no baggage due to emotion on the thought. Amendment: Could we add that we do this whenever we feel the air is clouded? Amendment not accepted. I would like to start with the 3-minutes only. Amendment: Have this after the announcements and before the proposals. I have no preference. Amendment: What about after the Statement of Unity? Amendment accepted. I think after the Statement of Unity is perfect. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Sure it can, they just need a leader. Yeah, it goes against what they've been trying to do with the GA and the stupid, absurd finger shaking to show agreement and disagreement, but that's what they need. Someone strong enough to tell some to STFU or GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Tomorrow at 1pm they are starting Occupy Christy and Harper at the Science World when the Premier and PM make a public appearance. They confirm again OV does not have leaders - we are all leaders. Tomorrow at 3 pm a speaker. Michale Riordan: A Canadian writer and documentary-maker for almost four decades, Michael generates books and articles, audio, video and film documentaries, and plays for radio and stage. A primary goal of his work is to recover voices of people who have been silenced in the mainstream, including First Nations (aboriginal) youth, Mozambican farmers, inmates in Canadian prisons, traditional healers in Fiji, queer folk across Canada, Guatemalan labour activists, and now, peace-workers in Israel-Palestine. Each of these voices adds an essential piece to the evolving human story, our collective work-in-progress. Together they challenge the high-volume monotone of the official version, and honour the chaotic diversity of life. Michael’s previous book, An Unauthorized Biography of the World, explores similar recovery projects in several countries, including Israel and Palestine. He also leads courses, workshops and seminars for community organizations, trade unions, schools, colleges and universities. Michael lives with his partner in rural Canada. http://www.mywaytofight.ca/about.shtml Tonight's GA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wetcoaster Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 This GA is absurd. Plain absurd. I am actually feeling borderline violent toward these "protesters". They should all go home and wait until people with common sense and ability to manage take up arms. This group will never gather support at this rate.

Satan's Evil Twin Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 You obviously do not get it. This is terrific. As one of the main boosters of OV has tweeted: despite no tech & a cold, wet night, #OccupyVancouver GA functioning well w/great facilitation; perseverance in action! by SashaWiley via twitter 8:13 PM C'mon your eyes are fooling you... quit drinking the MMS propaganda kool aid.
