Video of the Oakland Black Block Attack on Whole Foods in November

I feel bad for all of the peaceful demonstrators at Occupy Oakland The OPD are known for their violence, but actions like this only add fuel to the fire. That said, this is the intention of the Black Bloc– their philosophy is to escalate the situation in hopes that it will motivate the 99% to be outraged and join the movement.

Madness…

Should Occupations Distance Themselves from Occupy Oakland?

A member of the Vancouver CoC is inspired by these people…

The Occupy Black Bloc issue continues to get traction in the media- slowly, the world is realizing that Diversity of Tactics is damaging our movement…

A couple of days ago I tweeted a story by Jon Stewart warning Occupy Oakland that You will always be judged by your worst elements. And, it appears that Jon knows what he is talking about here- Black Bloc practitioners interfered with his Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington DC last year.

Tina Dupuy wrote an excellent article on the subject just a few days ago, brilliantly debunking all of the FUD created by the Black Bloc’s ‘philosophy’. She discusses this issue in a video with Thom Hartmann of Russia Today.
