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...

Where (Else) to Find My Writing

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.

May Day, Salt Lake City

Posted on 5/1/2012 by the Salt City Sinner It was a glorious spring day in Salt City today.So why not get some exercise in the form of a protest march celebrating May Day ? Our goal was to meet at the City County Building and march to the capitol. The crowd started to gather at the City County building at 3:00 PM, MST. The big news on the street was that the Black Bloc would be in attendance ( my views on the Bloc are mixed at best). Were there Black Bloc comrades* at today's march? Yes, there were: The real story here is that we had an ally far more lovable (but I would argue less flexible) than the Bloc on our side. Gumby. My favorite sign by far: And we marched! At one point the protesters were too many to stay on the sidewalk and spilled into the street, effectively stopping traffic. The cops (who were already on scene) blared their sirens and ominously intoned "STAY OFF THE STREET" through bullhorns. The response? Protes...
