Weekend #Occupy Updates : "Deputy Dan Has No Friends"

What a weekend for an #Occupy protest!

At least here in Salt Lake City, the warm weather held up, and will continue to hold up until approximately Tuesday. As I noted in my previous post regarding #OccupySLC, they have decided to stay put in Pioneer Park, and some #Occupants - at least the folks manning and womanning the Circle-A Cafe - are already making their plans for winter and its inclement weather. #OSLC hub site  here  . Twitter feeds  here  and  here  . Spokesperson William Rutledge can be reached  here  . International #Occupy hub is  here  .

Speaking of plans, Jesse Fruhwirth was good enough to correct me gently regarding the Friday night vote and the Occupy the Fed action by #OSLC. #Occupy the Fed SLC was already up and running for at least one day when I heard the word that they would stay at the Fed (with much more protected speech than I assumed at first) and will continue to do so, even as #OSLC holds their ground in Pioneer Park.

#OccupySLC also joined the "Dream Team" to protest HB 497 (an anti-immigrant law much like the hideous abomination they passed in Alabama). This is a positive development, in my opinion, because it demonstrates a new-found ability on the part of #OccupySLC when it comes to organizing movement politics and finding natural allies. I'll be visiting the #OSLC base camp and #Occupy the Fed SLC tomorrow to take a quick read of what's percolating at each location - stay tuned for updates.

Nationally and internationally, the cops are feeling their oats! Whatever these guys have for breakfast, I need to switch to it ASAP.

In Sydney, the police crushed the #Occupation, arresting about 40 people (#O Sydney says they'll be back).    The fuzz also closed down #Occupations in Ohio, California and Pennsylvania. Chicago got buck wild: police there arrested 130 people  Don't worry about mass arrests and the steady erosion of free speech throughout the Bush years, though: Wall Street is still doing fine, and hey, how about those wacky kids and their stylish #Occupy protest fashions?



Put that in your hippie pipe and smoke it. If Wall Street has ever met something it couldn't turn into a fetishized commodity, I don't know about it.

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like...

REGULARLY UPDATED Posted on 1/9/2020  - UPDATED 2/4/2025 MY FULL-LENGTH   NONFICTION DEBUT! BLACK SUNRISE ON PISS EARTH: FASCISM, NIHILISM, AND THE 21ST CENTURY OCCULT Black Sunrise on Piss Earth: Fascism, Nihilism, and the 21st Century Occult is a nonfiction, anti-fascist, punk rock, and no-holds-barred look at the role that nihilism and the postmodern occult have played in the development of fascist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and elsewhere – a coordinated movement I call the Fascist Internationale. The manuscript’s title is a reference to Piss Earth 2025, a piece of fascist agitprop that I respond to, using my refutation as a framework for looking at the dangerous, deadly, and dumbass ideas undergirding everything from QAnon and Christian Identity to Nazi Satanist- worshipers the Order of Nine Angles and portions of the Asatru (Norse Pantheon worship) and chaos magick communities.

Glenn Beck and Cleon Skousen: A Match Made In John Birch, Commie-Paranoia Nutjob Heaven

By
I fully intend to stop using Glenn Beck as a punching bag, but damn it, there are a few things that I just can’t let slip past me without comment. In a previous post, I linked to a video of a weepy Beck flogging his latest project/marketing vehicle, the so-called 9/12 project (the intent is to bring us all back to that kumbaya, trans-partisan state of nationalism that followed the greatest American tragedy in recent history). As I stated in said previous post, I’m a big believer in giving people a fair shake, and so I have been giving the 9/12 Project’s website a thorough going-over. One thing I will admit that I like about the project is that it encourages people to read – and, unlike Michael Savage or Bill O’Reilly or any of the other pontificators of the right, Beck actually wants his followers to read *real* books, stuff like the Federalist Papers and Tom Paine’s “Common Sense.” There are some unfortunate right-wing revisionist biographies of various founding fathers tucked i...
