Ashamed? I understand the scope of 9/11 but if it never happended, a different tragedy whether US government orchestrated or not would have occured. Our soldiers are not in Afghanistan because of 9/11. Our soldiers are in Afghanistan because the Canadian government are the new imperialists on the block. Nobody in their right mind(pun intended) is using 9/11 anymore as an factor to why there are still troops (and more at that) in Afghanistan, understanding that the campaign initself is getting weaker and weaker day by day. If you understand the scope and core of military occupation in the middle east, or Haiti, or upcoming military invasions of Iran or Syria, hell even latin america, then using 9/11 in any of our work towards education for the interest of garnering support would be reactionary at best. However in terms of a massive waste of human life for political manouevering in order to initiate further imperialist invasion, then yes, you are right, we should no never forget the event or ignore it. If i sounded like this was what i was saying, then i apologise. What i was trying to say, was that the truth about 9/11 will not aid us in our fight, as the core of current war and occupation is clearly transparent in its own merits. Look at the replies thus far, as soon as this was dropped all the "conspiracy" naysayers came out in droves. Most of which are fairly intelligent and aware, but the world isnt ready to hear about the truth about 9/11 and have it be impactful, until they understand the roots of terrorism, and the agenda of western capitalist nations. -'nasty hit me up sometime, or lets go get a beer. It would be cool to get a chance to talk to you, pass on some literature and invite you to some events/shows. MAWO and other local organizations in the lower mainland are going to be in full swing for the next 4 months, including forums, workshops, rallies, hiphop shows and a massive hiphop festival against war and occupation!

Care to elaborate? You too good for events like these? Perhaps events like these might even draw a few intelligent hyper cynical interernet book worms out???? If you come out of your cave, be sure to wear some sunglasses, sunlight might be hard on your eyes after being in the dark for so long ;) |

Post! Post, and post some more!
There's no such thing as too much information! (well, ok, no one _really_ needs to know about yer last loo-break) This is an expanded version of what I'd seen before, so, it kept my interest. Related discussions should be kept ongoing, seeing that many issues are relevant to the public's awareness of ongoing/new policies that Harper's gov't is taking us to. Frosty (concerned? YES!) |

Thousands? No...if a Billion or so people knew and were progressing towards an everyday open dialogue that makes plans for a sustainable future...it might not just stop the war, it may change the very fabric of our social order, which is going to be something necessary soon as we aren't a society with a very open dialogue on sustainability.

Organizing around war and occupation is only a stepping stone towards creating and enacting an alternate society to that of which is entrenched in capitalism. Organizing around war an occupation is a step in uniting people in a common goal of which the process will eventaully help people evolve to face realities far more sinister than just war. In this process people will develop skills both organizationally and individually that will serve its purpose later in life.
Beer is out of the question. Your recent remarks sound more like a counter-revolutionary, which in itself would not be a position you could excel in either, as you are far too self indulgent, inpatient, insecure, immature, egotistical, narcisistic and ignorant of any historical revolutionary work (that has actaully taken place in reality) Your assesment of MAWO is baseless as you were only in MAWO for a month before you left. (rumour has it, it was due to a crystal meth addiction and unstable mental health) Due to my own expeiences with addiction and accounts from people close to you, i would tend to lean towards believing such. Your last reply would have found you dead by the hand of comrades within revolutionary movements you presume to know so much about. Markus you are obviouslly bright, and have legitimate concerns about events in our world, but keep talking like you do to other people/organizers like you just did, and you will alienate yourself from any community that WILL NEED to carry out any expansive, change. Even Malcom X and Che Guevera practised patience, and understood the importance of process, community and the lessons derived from them. Last edited by fable; Apr 19, 06 at 05:10 AM. |

Well for a guy who prides himself on ripping apart posts point by point all I can say is I expected alot more from you. I have every right to feel bitter, I poured my heart into MAWO when I was there, like everyone I'm sure, but unlike most people there I was willing to admit that I might be wrong. This comment was unnecessarily rude. Quote:
Well if that's biting your toungue, I hope you don't forget to be tongue-in-cheek with whoever you talk to in person. Seriously...this post for you is biting your tongue? You riddle this retort with too much finger pointing and not enough substance. Yes I may have made some bold claims, but I offered you more importantly reasons for my so-called bitterness. Disgruntled, demoralized, yeah, I could see that. Self serving, selfish (is there an echo here?), self absored (is there an echo here?), confused (never claimed to have all the answers) and egotistical (dare I say you're tooting your own horn?) ...well I don't know about that. You wanna talk that much shit then you should atleast have the decency to show me where, and you are a guy that makes many of his rebutals point by point. Really I expected more from ya. Quote:

Well it's nice to know people at MAWO make up rumours when people leave the organization as a result of lack of vision, it totally validates my reasons for leaving and gives me closure. I now know I want nothing to do with MAWO. The nerve some people have. First I was organizing with MAWO for about 6 months to a year, not 1 month, don't belive me then ask Nasim (I believe that is the fellow's name) when his father died...I went their with other members of MAWO aswell to pay my respects. I know for a fact that was atleast 6 months or so of MAWO being organized. It's nice how whoever told you that trivialized my time there. It's nice that since I didn't agree with the direction that MAWO was going they painted me out to be some sort of drugged out meth head too, considering I've never really done meth. So I'm a fucking pot head, big deal, that's my business. When I was going out to put up posters some nights, I would bring my glass pipe for tocking the refer as it is alot less boring that way. Nice to know that even though they could probably tell just by the smell I was smoking weed that this automatically changed to one of the worst drugs ever concoted by man soon after I left. After talking that sort of shit you don't even deserve to know why, but I'll just set the record straight and quell this rumour. I left because I was agreed to be put on the speaker's list of a certain protest and then mysteriously I was off from it the day of the protest after I spent over an hour the previous night writing a speach. The 2nd meeting before that protest, I was confirmed on the speaker's list. I made almost all meetings, more than most members. I missed the last meeting before said protest. Apparently that was enough to take me off the speaker's list even though I put in over an average amount of hours for going to meetings and leafleting. So I turned my back on MAWO, 'cause they turned their backs on me first. Quote:

I tired very sincerely to open up to them and I got nowhere fast, they treated me as though I were some sort of defector because I had some ideas that were unorthodox. As for Ivan, I don't have anything personal really about the guy I hold against him. He's dedicated alot of his time, I just happen to feel he is short sighted in some ways. I just brought up Britania 5 because by his own words VPD manufactured evidence in a case against him, but when I suggested direct action against public monitoring he snapped on me for it potentially drawing out MAWO in a court case. He may have a decent counter-point, but the one I made if actually followed through would have actually protected him from such actions if we were successful. Quote:

I may be harsh at times, but I usually make sure that the content is in the driver's seat. You went and did specifically what I asked people not to do in this thread. Turn it into a silly finger pointing ego game. If you want to keep this up, atleast save the insults, seriously...I thought I was overkilling for a bit but then I read this and all I can say is wow. I hope it was worth it, I was really looking forward to meeting you. Quote:

And as you are faced with the specter of accountability, and torn asunder by the bayonett of confrontation, so does the bowels of truth spill out onto the cold and unforgiving concrete.
I'll be seeing you, In solidarity, Shak Last edited by fable; Apr 19, 06 at 03:52 PM. |

Imagine knowing the truth about everything though. Would you really want that. Society and civilisation are built on lies. Simply put not knowing the truth makes life bearable. No one wants truth. |
