what now ?
Alien Images | 09.04.2009 09:14 | G20 London Summit
I raided my penny jar (literaly) and got a train ticket to London (from Norfolk) for the fools day demo.
this was the first one I've been on in a number of years (25) but as a working man (before the shit hit ) i needed to show my support / disgust at what has been happening.
I arrived at cannon street and things were good, even with the expected cattle herding.
when we arrived at the bank i was blown away by the diversity of people there.
Sitting on the bank of England steps and rolling a fag was surreal which added to the great atmosphere.
I then got mixed up in the Threadneedle street / Bartholomew lane stuff and as we all know what happened i won't go in to that.
After being evicted and finding my way back in (twice) i sat and chatted with people, listened to the reggae sound system and wondered what now
After five and a half hours i blagged my way out ( there were one or two decent cops ) and got a train home.
On the journey i felt angry, angry at the cops, angry at the goverment, angry at having to sitting on the train floor while first class was half empty.
This re-lit an energy in me that had been buried under everyday shit for so long.
full of this re-found fight i wanted more, i looked but nothing, was that it ?
Where do we go from here ?

Smashing windows did nothing other than give the media and the police a cover, for the politically motivated attack on the climate camp, many hours later, which suggests that the RBS incident was a set-up, and YOU ARE AN AGENT PROVOCATEUR because you support that RBS action by your words here. Either that or YOUR ARE AN IDIOT!
. It matters not, for you are anonymouse....
You are provoking, rather than analysing the situation, and you are not evolving any real solid SOLUTIONS...
Anarchism is properly founded on not TAKING POWER OVER OTHERS and is essentially non-violent, focuses on evolving solutions that can be applied at grass roots so the grass roots no longer has to play the games imposed by the POWER, whoever they are.
That is the only effective long-term strategy to disable POWER....
It is only when there is no-one who will play the game, that POWER will realise that the game is OVER. In order to subvert that possibility a combination of AGENT PROVOCATEURS and impressionable IDIOTS are recruited to do damage to buildings etc etc..
Here endith the lesson.
