Alias Detective 1,459 Posted February 7, 2017 http://www.occupy.com/article/unmasking-black-bloc-who-they-are-what-they-do-how-they-work#sthash.HN1S1Ze9.dpbs "It should be noted the black blocs, at least in the U.S. and Europe, are generally overwhelmingly white and male. However, there is some diversity. In a communiqué published days after the demonstrations against the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Mary Black (a pseudonym for a protester who took part in the protests) noted that most of the people she knew who used black bloc tactics have days jobs working for nonprofits. Some are schoolteachers, labor organizers, or students. Some don't have full-time jobs, but instead spend most of their time working for change in their communities.[...] These are thinking and caring folks who, if they did not have radical political and social agendas, would be compared with nuns, monks, and others who live their lives in service." https://guerrillanews.wordpress.com/tag/black-bloc/ "Obviously, we hate the police and the police hate us. We attack them when we can and they attack us they can. This does not only take place in the arena of protest. When were not openly fighting them in the streets we are doing everything we can to undermine their authority and make their jobs more difficult. We spread anti-police propaganda, we collect and exploit information about them, we clandestinely sabotage their infrastructure, we figure out ways to solve our own problems and keep ourselves and our neighbors safe without them, and in rare cases throughout history weve even murdered some of the bastards! And likewise, when the police are not beating, gassing and arresting us at protests theyre doing everything they can to put us in jail. They listen to our phones, read our text messages, infiltrate our events, surveil our spaces, record keystrokes on our computers, plant evidence, raid our homes, force our friends to give up information on us, send undercover agents to entrap us, and in some rare cases throughout history theyve even murdered some of us bastards. The State has and uses many agents towards this end; theyre expanding their technologies, developing their tactics and getting paid well to do so." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
