Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.
May Day 2012: Meet The New OPD Tactics: Same As The Old OPD Tactics
I'd say it's brutal, I'd say it's a police state, I'd say it's fascism, I'd say it deserves total rejection... but I would not say it is "unbelievable". It happens way too often in way too many places - and much worse than that.

While I'm not dead-set against violence, I realize that it's way too easy for undercover cops to manipulate and set-up people to do their bidding and then accuse them of terrorism and what not.
Welcome to the Global Bahrain. :(

Same police tactics, same Occupy tactics. The police use violence, Occupy receives violence. Police push, Occupy doesn't push back.
ReplyDeleteSame old story. See you next week!
