These Occupiers should really become politicians, not because they'd be great leaders because they do an excellent job of stringing together words & syllables without saying a damn thing.

Somehow they've decided the bigger words they use the smarter they are being.

So they're basically stealing power by plugging into outlets set aside for the christmas decorations, and then cry when the city kills the circuits

http://www.metronews.ca/calgary/loca...at-occupy-camp

sorry but you're comfort while illegally squating and you're cellphones are not our problems. If you make arrangements to pay for the power, I'm sure something can be arranged.

But free electricity and cellphones are not a right.

Bruce was less than sympathetic to camp members’ concerns, noting the outlets were reserved for Christmas light displays at the plaza.

“They’re always mad about something,” he said. “I am very tired of it.”

What a bunch of morons. Their best hope is that no one reports on anything they do, because everytime they do make the news (or YouTube) they look like complete and total morons. Steal electricity while complaining about the "rape of our natural resources" then whine when it gets cut off.

Good lord I was hopeful the wind on the weekend had blown them all away to Regina, but no such luck.

For the next two weeks I'm going to be OccupyDR - sitting my ass in a beach chair in the Dominican Republic. They better have AC too, because "not to be hot" is a basic human right.

Fricken losers. Every drink I have, I'm going to laugh at the losers in the cold who, while apparently capable of composing long winded, rambling e-mails are not capable of spell or grammar checking said e-mails. Each dip in the ocean will be followed by a chuckle as I think of them freezing their dangly bits off in sub-zero weather.

Ah who am I kidding, I won't think about this idiots once. Have them all cleared out by the time I get back will ya?

Day 46
media blackout still in effect.
I did manage to talk to a gentlemen named Darren with city tv, so we may have broken through the wall of fear and opened a few more spiritual Heart centers along the way. I had an AMAZING time with the CPS as they were all sympathetic and very conversational as we discussed the events of the previous day. Sara had managed to open a dialogue that has previously not been discussed. This morning Sara came to me just after I left the port a potty's, Occuduck flew to a graceful landing a few feet from me. I squated down and just was for about 10 minutes with Occuduck as the light powdery snow floated down with intentions to cleanse Mother Earth. Shortly after conversing with Sara (Occuduck) I began brushing her tipi off with my broom when I declared to the Universe how Sara true spirit was lifting me towards divine light, when Occuduck began quacking and flew directly over Sara's home. I began to cry and started cleaning because Sara is an AMAZING cog in the wheels of our family making machine. We have lost a sister for a little while, but her spirit is ALIVE in the camp and we look forward to her blessed return!! Friends we are having an open house tomorrow from 3p.m on!! Please come down to check out the camp and meet the Occupiers!! We LOVE questions and will be giving speeches about "Why We Occupy!!" Please come vist!!!
ALL OUR LOVE!!

But Occupier Derrick Frank took issue with the city crackdown, claiming that heat is a basic human right.

“It’s bloody cold out here ... we have cellphones we need to keep charged, especially for safety concerns in terms of nightwatch,” he said. “We have no other way to do dishes, no way to cook.”

"Spiritual Heart Centers"?




Forget the "media blackout", someone NEEDS to get these people on TV. "Fundies say the darndest things".

What here in ultra conservative Calgary?
This city might be the last to clear them out.

Isn't it interesting that those who claim to be big into 'life and wisdom' are the ones who haven't the foggiest idea about either subject?

I didn't realize the Ultimate Warrior was part of Occupy Calgary, might just head down there for an autograph.

Guess their court appearance is in about 20 minutes here, once again calgary.openfile.ca is providing coverage:


Occupy Calgary faces court injunction today

Honestly not expecting much at this point, I imagine the injunction won't be granted (charter rights vs bylaws blah blah) and the squatters will just become a permanent part of the downtown core.

I was booted from their private Facebook page on Nov 23, since then one of their supporters has become very disenchanted and is a little ticked that they booted me just because I spoke out with a differing view.
Anyway this person has been sharing insights (aka screenshots) with me. Today I will be posting some of them on my blog.

Covers all the bases, boring, funny, conspiracies and paranoia.

Of course they did, the basic rules/laws of the land don't apply to Moses. I'm sure the security person asked him if he needed it to walk and he started rambling on about needing it to assist his spiritual connection to mother earth and her benevolent wisdom & shepherding of his soul as he wonders this path along the universe in hand with his brothers & sisters whom are his sherpas across the fields of....


At which point the guard said "eff it, I'm not paid enough to listen to this" and let him through.

Terrible grammar aside, sounds like a train wreck.

A fight appears to be breaking out between some of the occupiers and they're rep. "You don't represent me anymore."
