An Open Letter to the OccuDrama group.

This applies to just about everyone there that is participating in the conversation, and can be appropriately entitled "Why this is all one big waste of time, and why you are all being stupid."

Granted, no one ever likes to hear that, but none of these folks likes to hear the hard truth either.
(Note: There are some people that I know in the conversations that I still have quite a bit of respect for and I know want to see resolution. But see the writing on the wall, you're seriously wasting your time.)

I was invited to the group. I didn't ask to join or even really want to join, but since I'm in there, might as well see this change that was supposedly going to go on that Sarit told me about, in light of a disastrous GA that if anything only showcased *exactly* everything I have talked about thus far. Look at the beginning of the vid, and Dorsey, Darlene, Will, and Norma are all hanging out having a pow wow.
Later, Darlene does her usual thing of a batshit crazy outburst...and of course Norma and Dorsey back her up. Will proceeds to back them up. The whole group that congregated at the beginning of the GA is in on the action! *gasp* Even though it is agreed that this behavior is outrageous by any standard..

..cut to OccuDrama's page, and Rose, another hardcore groupie of the fringe feminist Norma sect, is talking about how Norma told nothing but truth, and how Darlene was epic. Cue to Michael stepping in to play "lets kiss the ass of the ignorant to appease." Looking further on this page, this happens frequently.

In fact, they are still touting how Eva is so scared to come on a Plaza that is largely deserted, and how ladies are so afraid to come here because of incidents that happened. Only...those incidents *never* *happened*. Norma, Dorsey, and Darlene are largely the ones that keep touting this lie..even though they never spent any time there longer than an hour, two being a record. They never stayed overnight. EVER. And Norma's claims have been proven a lie time and time again..considering that these events that she says she personally witnessed happened around the time she never even came to the Plaza. Oh, and Norma heads Women Occupy Nashville. Want to guess who is also a member?
Right. Darlene, Dorsey,Eva...oh, and lets not forget the ever psychotic Trillian Dent, otherwise known as Cynthia Green, who I am already talked about in great detail in previous blogs. (Also known as Victoria, because she has to have a lot of aliases when she is trying to wreck the lives of others for her own sick amusement. What a coward.)

So then, how did she personally witness these things? She didn't, because she wasn't there. It was a lie, one that has been perpetuated by their confused little groupies ever since. But, if you said they were lying..you were delusional, a liar, or a woman that screwed a guy there so you were automatically covering for them because of that. This is a lie that has been told and re-told and re-shot down CONSTANTLY.....and yet the people that perpetuating it are never called into account for their actions. They use feminism as a tool to dominate and harass others, and upon honest dissection, their words are as empty as their heads, hearts, and souls.

I've asked Norma a number of times here to answer a few simple questions. I know she reads this blog, but she has yet to grow the stones to do so. That might be why the reporter she talked to about Wolfy felt that she was batshit insane, as most people with a working brain seem to. For an added bonus, look up cult mentality and see how many traits apply to Norma and her followers. Interesting, huh?

But I digress. 6 months later and your little group is doing everything I told you it would. You are eating yourselves ALIVE and making fools out of yourselves. You just can't get it together. I mean, really? OccuDrama is a page that is going to stop drama? That's kind of the point where you need to make sure you are thinking lucid here..because that is the stupidest thing anyone has ever suggested. You're going to bring people in that cause drama...have them wage war openly..and somehow that is NOT going to make things worse.
Oh, and let's take the issue of Jason doxing people. Yes, he got his just desserts. Its been coming a LONG time. However..why is he the only one? Kick out Darlene, Dorsey, Rose..Norma..hell, most people can EASILY agree that Norma is a problem, but god forbid someone shun her. Michael is practically tripping over himself to play the kiss ass to Rose, because she might be offended. FUCK THAT. You're a big boy now, Michael. Grow a set, take the dog collar off, and use those words you are so good with to do more than just talk.

I have yet to see how this is going to make any real difference. Looking at the Restorative Justice document, while some things were decided..the loose translation is "this shit is so fucked up we wouldn't know where to start.." ..and it didn't really get anywhere. So I don't know why Rose is touting it, other than to back up Dorsey. Just like she did when Dorsey was claiming we all hacked her accounts..and Rose threatened legal action, which parties involved may remember I put a pretty quick stop to because I was all too ready to file a counter-suit. Maybe you idiots want to make this one big party of who can kiss each other's asses..but I came there to get stuff done. Fuck this "buddy buddy' bullshit.

Oh, and this is the same Rose that told me via Facebook message that I made a direct action against her personally by sitting in the corner, playing a Facebook game to chill out, talking to my girlfriend and drinking a glass of water. UNLESS that water somehow contained microbes that were destined to evolve into the species of life that would know just how to make us all stop being royal assholes (I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon, you all have proved as much.).....most sane people would agree that is the sign of a complete loony.

But, suddenly Rose is a respectable, trustworthy person. I don't care that you talked to Reason about his vandalizing a tent. It was still wrong, and you still turned a blind eye because you were playing the buddy game..which is bullshit. If you hold one accountable, do it to everyone or shut the fuck up. PERIOD.

On the note of accountability, it is interesting to note how Eva is AGAIN playing the victim. She does something, gets called on it, then she pitches a fit, whines..and is the victim all over again. Then she attacks whomever is calling her on her crap, then she tries to play the fake hippie act, then she gets nasty again. Rinse, lather, repeat. Classic Eva..just a whole lot of empty noise. However, it is just an act.
I mean, this is a lady that has repeatedly been against Code of Conduct, stole a laptop and printer (that as far as i'm aware never got returned..) ..and routinely harassed and was sexist to males on the plaza.
How anyone takes her seriously is anyone's guess.

It would be interesting to note that while Eva and Jason have gone off on each other numerous times in front of any form of media, they have often been seen afterwards chilling at Cafe Coco, at Caeasars, and so on..along with Will and the rest of Jeremiah's little following. Just like politicians, they fight in front of you, but behind the scenes..its all an act. Meanwhile, their drama keeps YOU from doing anything, anything at all. I don't expect Dixie will be covering this anytime soon, since she seems to find it difficult to get her head out of her own ass to see the light of day, first. They keep you distracted...and face it, not many of you really care as much as you say you do anyway. Together, you create the greatest sideshow on Earth. Jerry Springer would be proud. He has to pay his folks for that! Each side plays up and toys with a different end. Will plays both sides down the middle, while acting impartial. Eva is the loud vegan feminist that smokes cigarettes while telling you that eating meat is putting poison in your body. (But she is touted as a woman of Occupy, largely by.....? Oh, yeah, the same damn group of fringe feminists.) Tristan wrote an entire article to back up Eva..while not bothering to actually interview anyone else. (Kind of biased much? Right. The injury to one was more with the viewing public.)

And yet, when the curtain closes, they all hang out around the same person. Jeremiah, whom when the legislators came down to listen to us..couldn't get over himself long enough to tout his fake anti-capitalistic rhetoric, alongside Dillon..who FLAT OUT threatened me over facebook. However, this was let slide. Meanwhile, you all claim to care about keeping the peace and dealing with issues. However, this is a lie. Its bullshit. You're just tired of hearing about it, so you feel if you go through the motions, that it will be enough to go away on its own. It will NOT go away on its own, and I have little faith ANY of you there will actually accomplish that. You can't. You're too busy trying to be the nice person in the kindergarden class that makes everyone play nice and get along. This is the real world, and it doesn't work like that. Not that anyone can tell you while you continue to act like insepid little children that never grew up. Fuck, you trashed anyone that dared bring a problem up..and referred to *them* as the threats!

6 months later, and by Michael's admission, not only are things not getting better, they are getting worse. TAKE A BOW...because it is on YOUR heads. It is your fault. Just when things were starting to go well, just when it was so close we could taste it..you threw it all away. You attacked your supporters and you backed up the real liars, bullies, and psychopaths. YOU DID THAT. Now where is your support? Where is your following? Oh, right. It isn't there. The only time ANYTHING is going to change for any of you assholes is when you kick out the fringe feminists, and the psychopaths, and actually get your shit together. Rhetoric and a party line doesn't count. ACTUALLY have your shit together and know what you are dealing with. I'm not going to buy into any bullshit and neither will the public at large. You dug your own grave, now you have to climb out of it, or let yourself continue to be buried. Its on your heads, not mine.

That is why this OccuDrama is just another lesson in failure. That is why you are just wasting your time. It isn't being done to fix anything. It is being done so you can say you're doing something, but really just talk about it more while things continue to escalate. How did that work out for the politicians, again? Riiiight.

Now, let me backtrack a moment, as Jason recently added me to his friends list. Or tried to. I will repost what I told him *exactly*, as it applies here. Do not think I forgot that he started up a whole bunch of shit with me, and that he tried to pass ME off as the one spreading the rumors and the lies when it was HIM doing it. Do not think I forgot that rather than talk to me about it, you all just took and ran with it like a good little mob that has no ability to think for itself whatsoever. Even the more intelligent of you just looked the other way. I have a goooood, long memory. I also remember all the crap posted about me over facebook, the messages from Jeremiah's little wackjob grouping..all of that.

But here's the message:

I mean, DUH, everyone knows these people are nuts. I've said it. IN DETAIL. It was just ignored, swept under the rug...so now that this is boiling down..normally..i'd have a lot to say about it. Right now? I am eating popcorn and laughing my ass off. All the *entire* lot of you have done..thus far...is prove me right. On every..single..count. FUCK, me, a threat? HA.

Listen up. When you guys kept saying how I was crazy and full of it, you kind of forgot *I* was the guy you had very often talking to the news media, and to the public at large..as "the guy that knows his shit." So when you about faced...you kind of screwed yourself there..basically saying that was full of it too. Good job on that, by the way. I was never a threat. Ever. You're the crazy bastards...you were supposed to show the world what we were capable of...and frankly, the animals have done a better job of being civilized.

So now, i'm watching you eat each other alive, as has only been predicted a whopping 6 months ago...and I am just laughing and laughing and laughing...because the biggest threat to Occupy is what you call Occupy Nashville, which has no right to call itself thus.

Also, just because someone adds me to their friends doesn't mean i'll accept. Its real easy to play nice when you're looking for allies or support, but I remember who does and did what when the odds were down, and everything was looking in your favor. Sorry, fool me once and once only.

Oh, hello there.

Long sigh time.

You know, after the last time, I really, *really* thought it was the last post. Told myself it was the last pos, and hoped and prayed that there really wasn't anything left for me to post about.

Sometimes, however, things just don't work out the way you want them to.

So, for those of you not in the know..Occupy Nashville is kind of there, but mostly not. They had a rally on May, but it really wasn't much of much. Jason is still more or less an asshole, and Dixie and Trillian are still basically a bunch of full of shit attention whores that seem to enjoy making others miserable. Jeremiah is still little more than an idiot, catering to people only a little more stupid than he is and desperate enough to hang on his every word. The goods Eva stole, as far as I know, were still never returned..and those remaining in OCN still basically bury their head in the sand towards most of it. The few that have -not- left, which isn't much.

Occupy Vanderbilt came and went, with a bit of fanfare here and there. Some members of OCN tried to attach themselves to it..didn't really work out like they expected, I think. I was invited, but really..i'm pretty worn on the whole Occupy thing in general after all of this.

I've been asked to come back on a few occasions, but a few people. My response is basically the same, although usually the level of anger from myself to the person doing the inviting kind of depends. Please, don't tell me certain problem people are no longer there..when I can see the releases and who is writing them..and when I can watch the Youtubed G.A.s and see that yes, in fact, they are still there, and just as dumb as ever. It isn't difficult to check up on, and insulting my intelligence is just going to piss me off and greatly increase the chances of me telling you some form of "go to hell" that is more or less progressively worse than what the last person that tried pulling that crap had to hear. (My patience gets shorter every time. Go figure.)

I have also weeded a number of people off of my friend's list..either because of certain behaviors, or because of spying, or harassment, or in general because these folks never really talk much and clogged my Facebook full of superficial crap. I don't care about Jersey Shore, and I don't care about Whitney Houston dying (on par with the people that didn't give a rats while she was alive and SUDDENLY care now. Screw that.)..and on, and on, and on. Click. Bye. Want to bring drama to my doorstep?
I *don't* have time for it. I have time for people that matter, that want to actually help the world (and not just market themselves as a savior of sorts..I have had it up to here with that.), and that hey, actually talk from time to time, and not just when they need or want something, or only if I have cash in my pocket.

For starters, here. Right freaking here: http://theremoteviewer-krishnaislove.blogspot.com/

This sums up alot about Norma and Cynthia (MahDear or Dixie, and Trillian Dent respectively.) and the whole fringe feminist group. Looking at the WSMV site recently, now they have upped it a notch to suddenly you are either a pedophile, a pedophile supporter..or the usual delusional or crazy. You know, you would think that at some point they would add up in their heads that the only people that fall into these categories always seem to be the ones that question them...hmm. This mentioned blog is by a *woman*, mind you..and Dixie has never been able to say much about it..mainly because Chris was on the Plaza, wheras the ever-so-antisocial Dixie was rarely on the Plaza and when she was, it was very briefly. I would say Chris knows what she's talking about. Plus, Chris has never been the sort to really mince words..if and when she says something, she isn't going to hold back. Period.

Meanwhile, alot of *other* stuff went on that went largely unreported, if not totally unreported. Loss of donated funds, drug issues, fights, all kinds of stuff.....but strangely this was all completely ignored. The bit with Jeremiah was ignored, which I thought for sure Dixie would run with since Jason Steen is connected to the guy and had him living with him for a time. Then, Eva with the theft, also running with Jason..also running with Jeremiah. I mean, go figure, right? This particular group with all these connections to the crazy stuff going on....

...yet, Dixie remains silent on the matter. How odd, no? She chooses to ignore greater issues, to focus completely on anyone that was with the Livestream and the Tech teams. Judging from the WSMV chats, they are up to the same old tricks of using multiple accounts to like each other's posts..and group dislike whomever disagrees. This is a usual behavior of theirs...and sad to say, they are largely predictable because they do the same thing..over and over and over and over again like a broken record.

Ah, yes, WSMV. Evil Unveiled, targeting Wolfy..for what.. *thinks to self for a moment* about..4 months now? They've been posting links to his 'page' across the Nashville Scene and Channel 5, sometimes using the names or a slight variant of such to spew this crap across the internet. Then we have Dixie on her page with her gloating remark of how his nightmare is just beginning.

See, I told Occupy Nashville all of this crap was going to happen. Granted, they didn't listen, because they were too busy screwing each other over or fawning for the sake of their own collective greed and egos....and hey, it will just go away on its own. Ah, didn't happen, did it? Hell, they couldn't even accuse the guy to his face..they had to WAIT until after he left for Oklahoma City to get his life on track before...oh, trying to destroy his life with accusations. So far the only person to say he was in on it that I have seen was Jason Steen..and I wouldn't trust that guy to tell me the time of day. (Wolfy has even said he's never had certain conversations with Jason...and Jason does make crap up, and he does lie. Usually if a rumor is started, he's the one passing it around. And if you ever give that guy information, he is going to tell it...and skewered at that. You just can't trust him.)

So, here they are again, as Dixie puts it, the "Thelma and Louise" pair of Norma and Cynthia. Two demented attention whores with anti-male and dominance issues that never grew up. (Although, the only bit of credit I -will- give Dixie is regarding Jason, whom committed Fraud by telling people he needed donations for bail money, or for livestreaming..and was not there for the arrests nor livestreamed after.)...and of course, they are spouting BS all over again.

It is amazing that four months of this nonsense later, Occupy Nashville still buries its head in the sand. Tell me how you can change anything when you can't even deal with something like this. Not to say Wolfy is guilty OR innocent. What I *am* saying is this crap continues because it was allowed and this behavior of harassment was allowed and accepted by members of Occupy Nashville, which is why it has gotten this far out of hand. This is a matter for an actual investigation but actual investigators. NOT a lynch mob by a group of crazed morons.

Seriously, all of the problems that befell Occupy Nashville could have been fixed by just holding to the rules we had set, and actually dealing with problems, not burying our heads in the sand and trying to see what we could take donation money for this week. Realistically, that is about as true as it gets. It was independent factions only claiming to be with Occupy long enough to get our resources, and screw everyone else as long as they looked good. Welcome to what is sometimes the harsh reality of politics.

What is also amazing is that four months later, despite all of this evidence and so on, nothing was turned over to the authorities. And while they tout involvement in 50 cases/arrests...how many of those led to a conviction? Oh, better still, how many of those likely got thrown out of court because of the retarded "investigations" done by the members of Evil Unveiled? Sorry kids, but simply declaring that your methods are 100% perfect and foolproof isn't enough to actually hold up in court. You need a little bit more than that...although I know you get your sick kicks off of ruining the lives of others, so you could care less about little things like "truth" and "evidence".

But lets say, to play devil's advocate here for a second, that the people in question are guilty. Because the courts do not just accept evidence on the fly...and that requires an official investigation..which those from the site cannot be participating in. (On the grounds of bias and possible tampering or falsification, intentional or not. Yes, it can be ruled as such!)....the case will likely get thrown out. As you cannot get charged for the same crime twice, the people of this site have more or less guaranteed the person walks free unless they do something absolutely heinous in nature. So....how is Evil Unveiled helping again?

Basically, it isn't. It is mob mentality. If the people haven't been tried, it is putting out an accusation which could follow them *for* *life*, even if they are declared innocent. That is the gravity of these kinds of accusations..something for which the administrator/s of Evil Unveiled are entirely unapologetic. "Oops, sorry we fucked up your life. Hope everything turns out okay in the end" is a pretty sorry excuse for screwing up someone's entire life just because you "had a really good hunch and some chat logs". Oh, and chat logs. From Anon Ops. Where you can make all sorts of usernames, right?

Oh, and on the Evil Unveiled site where it says "looks like we have another.." ..the nickname used? Ironically enough, that is one of Trillian/Cynthia's nicknames! The very person that is touting the site so much. Pretty weird, wouldn't you say? Right.

But back to the delusional Dixie, and how everyone speaking against her is attacking her. "The attack dogs are out!" Funny, aside from myself posting I only saw one person that wasn't one of her groupie squad. But hey, one person means everyone's out to get you, right? Again, its strange how that always winds up being the case and her and Trillian are always the victims. Wah, wah, wah. Poor freaking baby. I also love how she had an interview with the site administrator over a topic she was already biased about in the first place.

So what is the beef of these two anyway, right? Simple. In the Occupy Nashville chats, myself and several other moderators told them they had to stop trying to pick and provoke fights, stop trying to pit people against each other (especially the mods)..and respect the rules of the chatroom. Since we told the grown-up children that they have to play nice and behave, and happen to be male, to boot...well, long story short they have been pulling this kiddie tantrum bullshit ever since.

You can just look at Norma's blog, or their posts on the Occupy nashville forums. It is always centered around people in or connected to the Livestream and Tech teams. Even this last post was no different, mentioning Overkill, a former OCN admin of the forum *and* member of the tech team. It is always the same crap with these two, and its the same targets. They just can't let go that someone told them they have to behave themselves and stop being children. This is what I mean by "dominance issues." They have to be in control, and only their rules matter. If they don't get their little way, they aren't in control..and they have to try and make you pay for it. No better than a tantruming child.

Likewise, the ladies that keep eating out of their trough, guess what? That doesn't say much about you guys either. If you would willingly degrade yourselves to mindlessly and without question follow their lead like a bunch of dumb sheep, then guys are the *least* of your worries. While there are, to be fair, assholes in the male gender by the bushel..you aren't making the ladies look any better by imitating those guys. Quit taking your issues out on us, re-learn how to think for yourselves, and stop the replaying the cycle already. (And you are. Justify it however you wish, but it doesn't change the fact that you are just as bad as the guys and just as sexist.)

Now, I'd love to say that hopefully I'm done ranting,and this is finally it. It probably isn't. Trillian or Dixie or both of them will probably start up some crap, or Jeremiah will be unable to contain himself in between stalking whatever posts of mine he can with his see-through bullshit, or Jason will be Jason and continue to stalk and (very lamely) meme, with a Dungeons and Dragons or virginity reference or something equally retarded. Eitherway it will be something regarding myself, and i'll probably post about it. Or not. We will see.

In the meantime, as a former Occupier, I am dealing with and more devoted to, life and the people worth being around. I've learned alot of hard lessons, especially about politics and its opened my eyes to much. I have my own plans. I will carry them out, and while the wackjobs will try to cling to it, or degrade it..as they can't get past themselves and their insecure little egos..what they say and do largely isn't going to amount to much, nowhere near anything at all compared to what my endeavors will accomplish.

See you next time, Space Cowboy..

Why am I still blogging?

Okay, so sooner or later, someone's going to ask this, if they haven't already.

"Phil, why are you still blogging about this?"

I mean..I left Occupy. I'm not longer encamped, and the encampment itself is pretty well shut down. The movement doesn't look like its going anywhere either.

So, then why am I still blogging about it?

Well, someone has to offer a counter-point to the Raging Stupid that has been swirling around..and someone has to tell it as it is. That's not exactly going to make me a ton of friends, and will probably cut off a few if it hasn't already. Well....so what? That and when certain things pop up that I feel very personally about..especially folks being self-righteous, being con artists...and hiding behind labels and causes simply to perpetuate their own brand of self-idealized bullshit (which is always the one, true way..unless you're the enemy of course.).......I just can't stay silent about it.

People stay WAY too silent about things. When the government started to go crap end up, people were silent. They ignored it. They said it would go away, or it would sort itself out. It didn't. Enough people got pissed off about it not just here..but all over the world..that the Occupy movement sprang up to give a visible indicator of our discontent. We recognized that things had been allowed to go on long enough and we decided to get up, do something about things..and figure out the rest along the way.

A few months in and we never bothered to figure anything out. It became more about the individual causes people wanted to pursue..with little actual unity. It was all in how the media would portray it and how good they would look for the camera..and what the history books might think. The original concept of doing something bigger than ourselves was left by the wayside. When our occupiers were braving the elements..those from the outside visiting the GAs and largely deciding policy seemed to figure that arguing about language and how things sounded was greatly more important than whether or not we would catch pneumonia, have enough to eat..or not freeze during the winter.

And lets not even get into that joke of what they called feminism but was anything but. Its been covered enough already. Chris wrote an AWESOME blog that talks about it in detail, from a woman's point of view. *Unlike* Dixie, Chris (a lady, not a guy, by the way.) has actually been on the Plaza for quite some time and was part of the security/good vibes team more than one occasion. So..she would kind of know what she's talking about. You won't hear it from Dorsey...because Dorsey never spent a night on the plaza, and seldom spent more than an hour on it aside from the GAs. Same with Eli. Mostly the same with Eva..since she was in and out and when she WAS in no one wanted to put up with her self-serving ways. (Most folks stop being about 4 years old right around their 5th year. F'sure.)
Dar? Off and on the plaza. Honestly, I'm still kinda torn about Darlene..she has her good moments..and then she has those moments where you're like "WTF?!" and holy hell, back off before she goes nuts.
I *want* to believe better about these folks..but they never seem to help their own case.

The point? They're the ones that largely are saying that there's this huge problem on the Plaza with female abuse and harassment...and there's no way *any* of them would really know it. Are they psychic? Do they have hidden cams picking this up some how? (Which..I doubt because it would get out sooner or later. Keep in mind the way they pat themselves on the back the moment they think they have something. They just can't contain themselves to keep something secret and off to the side.)

Which is another reason for blogging this, since they want to throw my blog link all over the place. I want people referred here to understand that there are some folks that are seriously screwed up in the head, that claim to be one thing..but really, its all about them...and its all about another war, another fight..and how good they can make themselves look in the process.

People...its like this. THINK FOR YOUR DAMN SELVES. Use your brain. Think rationally. Don't just stop questioning because you know the person, or think they are a good person, or they paint themself to be the next big super crusader of (insert cause here.)...that's how people get used, played, and eventually cast aside. That is how this crap continues over and over again, be it in a movement or in a government. DO NOT turn a blind eye to things. DO NOT bury your head in the sand and assume it will just go away. Don't just take someone's word for it. Do not just agree. Do not just disagree. Have an actual reason behind your words and your feelings. Don't be a follower. We have too many of those already, and the jury is out as to whether or not they've already screwed things up for the rest of us past the point of no return. Hopefully, that isn't the case..but we don't need more adding to it.

Problems DO NOT fix themselves. NO ONE is going to fix your problems for you. You have to get off your ass, take responsibility..and get it done yourselves. THEN, as real leaders, move together and sweep the world off its hinges..and make itself something cool. Don't just be silent because someone may not like something you say. Who cares? You can't change the world by sticking your head in the sand, that just puts you one step closer to under the ground.

I don't know how many more of these blogs i'll end up writing. I had hoped to stop looong, long ago. I know that I'll have different blog for spirituality, and likely for creative projects as well. I *had* been hoping that this one would have largely been more positive than it turned out to be...but at the very least, someone else can learn from the mistakes that we made and the bullshit that we allowed, so maybe they'll have an easier time. Who knows. In the end, though, someone SHOULD chronicle things that was actually there...which, I was. I was there. I saw it, I have a great memory..and i'm sure about now more than one person was wishing I didn't. I'm pretty sure more than one person either is, or should be ashamed of themselves..but that's on them, no real concern to myself.

So, onward we go. Now ya know.

Dear "Norma Jones/Bates"

Okay. So Dixie's at it again. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how stupid she can be. F'real, as she would say.

Lets start with the obvious..Dixie and "truth" in the same sentence is like Rush Limbaugh and intelligence in the same sentence. It just doesn't apply, and should probably be regarded as little more than a joke. And am I the only one noticing that its only when someone disagrees with Norma/Dixie that suddenly they are always branded delusional, a liar, both, etc etc etc. Everytime.  (Which is a bit ironic considered that she has a bad habit of accusing everyone else of doing exactly that.)

Oh, but what is this? She's never been a part of the operations of Occupy Nashville, however, she runs a Women Occupy Nashville area despite never being ON the plaza...claiming in one instance to have seen multiple accounts of things going on that.. *shock* ...just never happened. Maybe she can suddenly see from miles and miles away from within her home, without even looking at the Plaza aside from a nightly livestream within a tent. Hmm..because THAT is an accurate representation, i'm sure....

OH, and isn't this rich. People depended on HER say so? Then you're right Dixie, you ARE lucky you aren't still on the board..because you'd probably be fired, locked up yourself..and likely have a slew of cases coming back your way as your ability to tell the truth, much less find it..is one big steaming load of crap.(I think its time to re-open some cases..) OH, and not to mention your little bit about smoking a bowl..remember that? Yeah, you never make mention of that. Whatever's going on with Matt..I find it funny that someone is bent out of shape over a past of dealing or doing drugs..when that person themself is currently on drugs. (And let me say, I am not at all surprised by that, as it would explain just why in the hell you are as full of it as you are. You would HAVE to be on something to be that screwed up..)

To explain that one, good ol (Yeah, totally being sarcastic here) Norma was going on a road trip with a fellow at one point, and wanted to stop to "go smoke a bowl." Huh. So..wait. We have a drug user, recreational or otherwise........condemning someone for a past of drugs that currently she is herself presently involved in? Gee, and f'sure..THAT isn't being totally a hypocrite.

Oh, and the head games. "WON", really? Don't you think that's just a tad arrogant, even for you? Just a thought there. Oh, and calling Matt "Little Matty"..like one would refer to a little child. However, we would be thinking lightly of females and showing misogyny to call her "Lil Normy"..i'm sure. Its perfectly okay for her to smear anyone under the sun, or say things about other folks...just don't do it to her, because *then* it is suddenly offensive and you are suddenly supporting the cause of abuse towards women in some regard. Keep in mind, this is the same lady who is bragging how her say-so decided the fates of who knows HOW many lives. And keep in mind that this lady knows how to manipulate others, and play head games with others. She's worked with people enough that its easy.

Calling her a feminist is a sick joke. Actually, she herself is a sick joke, and I will be highly thankful when that last bit of senility kicks in and her final days comprise of raging at the local old folks home about how the orderlies are against her because of her gender and that the plants and trees are somehow in on it too...given what i've had to stomach so far..i'm sure those days aren't too terribly far off.

But oh, she won't talk about that. She also will not talk about why she exclusively harps on certain people...mainly from the Livestream....and yet ignores *everyone* else....even when there is a bigger story afoot. Heck, there are people in ON that Jason has been connected with that are *super* shady to say the least....you would *think* she would be all over that......but strangely enough, she's silent. Instead, she chooses to go after exclusively anyone that disagrees with her...demonizing them and twisting things around to suit whatever agenda it is that she has. Hell, I don't know what it is. You would think someone of half a brain like hers could see the forest for the trees and understand that she's been royally played...but I doubt that's going to get figured out anytime soon.

Let's put it bluntly. "Dixie" is not a feminist, and in reality doesn't seem to give a damn about anyone else other than herself..and how good she can make herself look. You heard that right. Its all about beating her chest and proclaiming how she is such a staunch defender of feminism...yet...looking at the myriad of blogs of hers...its funny..this is more or less the first it comes up. There's a wide variety of political blogs..but that's largely about it. So...staunch defender..eh? Not much attached with her name either. In other words, that is a lie.

No, the reality is that this is a grown woman with severe insecurity issues, whom takes it out on others in such a way that she is the "mighty champion" and whomever is the "evil demon" that she is tirelessly working to call out to ensure...whatever. And the additional reality is that this is largely bullshit. While there are some points I do agree with, most of what she writes is backwards and slanted. Severely distorted. Oh, and then she has to spread it all over the place, again...thumping her chest to assure her correctness and dominance over whatever she claims to be oppressing her this week.

Keep this in mind. The largest portion of issues with Dixie *always* occurred whenever someone told her that she was wrong, or she had to follow rules that had been repeatedly listed. When she was warned about this, she was suddenly being censored. When that didn't hold up..it was that the evil males were all out to squash a feminist voice. And on and on and on. Read between the lines, and its not hard to see Dixie for what she is. She's petty, arrogant, vindictive...callous..and the only real concern she has is with and for herself. That's it.

As has been listed in another blog, this is but one of a few folks that hide behind feminism, but in reality are not truly feminists. They don't give a damn about equality..they just want to be the ones on top. They have to be the dominant ones. That is basically all there is to it. The same lady that will break down in tears because a guy says something that she doesn't agree with..and suddenly the man is against females and so on.....will go on to make comments like "Well, what about the mens?" Worse, some of them act like it is impossible for males to be themselves discriminated against..even though this is a very publicly made problem..and there have been reverse discrimination cases on court dockets, no less! Ah, but misandry doesn't exist.....we just don't understand.

They'll slam you left and right for disagreeing them, but they won't tell the public, however...how many times you walked folks to their car because they didn't feel safe. Or how many times you backed up their respective voice when some drunken moron or *actual* chauvanistic idiot was being ridiculous. Or when people did get harassed and you stepped up to the plate while others were looking the other way...nope, that doesn't get mentioned either. You disagreed with their almighty opinion, and in their little mind that challenges their personal authority...so now you *have* to be the bad guy. Suddenly, you're a misogynist, you support women's abuse..or god knows what else. Oh, don't give me that face..of course you do and of course you are. You just don't understand it, much like a child doesn't understand things they are ignorant about. But it's okay. We'll smear you, harass you, and teach you the error of your ways so you know better next time that we're always right, and you're always wrong. We can never be wrong, because we just know better. When you complain, we'll just tell you there's no way you could understand..because you're a male. (Even though that is a bunch of bullshit. People can understand others..they simply have to *want* to..and you folks don't. You just want a war.)

Gee, but that isn't Sexism. How DARE you make such a remark? OH MY GOD, you dared to question us again. That's the problem with you heathen brute males! Always trying to assert your authority by questioning ours! Bah, well...we'll teach you! We'll BLOG about it, and we'll form groups..and we'll twist every word you say 1000-fold until you understand your betters. Maybe you'll have enough respect for the feminist cause then, learn your lesson, and know your place. Its not a mans world anymore! We're oppressed! By asking questions and challenging our statements..you're contributing to that oppression...you just don't understand because you're a male. And since you will never understand, we will have to repeatedly tell you that you don't understand, mock you, demonize you..and bully you every chance we get...and do everything in our power to ensure that your voice is silenced.

Its for your own good, though, because as a male you just don't understand. And we're doing this so you will understand..but you can't understand..because you're a male. What? Did you just call me sexist again? Did you point out the glaring logic error behind my statements? UGH, men. They're always trying to keep women down. If more women were in control of things, this just wouldn't happen. There he goes again, with the questioning our authority. We'll just have to make him understand. Its not entirely his fault..although he is a POS just the same, because as a male..he just doesn't understand. Maybe once women get a bit more of a grip on him, we might be able to eventually train him in the proper path.

(The saddest part of this is that much of that, though deliberately worded so you can see things from our perspective for a change..is actually from *exact* *statements* made by certain members of O.N. that claim to be feminists. Oh, but Misandry doesn't exist..and you'd have to be stupid to believe that....geeze. Going to need the thick wading boots today.)

So, they treat you like a child, while acting like a first rate horse's ass..and then they have the nerve to call that Feminism..which is actually about *equality*..not just "Oh, the men did this..so we have to make them pay!" ...which is largely what I tend to hear from that particular lot, just in different regards. I am relieved to see that not all feminists are like this..but shit, you guys really need to get off your backsides and reign in these crazy folks..they are not giving you a good name. I shouldn't have to wade through a seal of crap to get to those of you that are diamonds, but I DO appreciate that there are some good people in the bunch..quite a bit.

Oh, and Dixie? F'sure, you may be a grown woman, but even older than I am..you're little more than a ridiculous child. Pick up a pen again when you actually develop a soul. In the meantime, I see you for what you are...completely full of it. Upon even minor analysis by folks that aren't your little circle of circle-jerking groupies..the arrogance and the stupidity you emit like a beacon the size of the Empire State Building is pretty plainly obvious. So....the next time you want to go off telling folks what a POS they are...try this. Look in the mirror and deal with the POS that's staring right back at you.

OH, and I got a laugh out of how you and Trillan made a crack at myself about my mother on an occasion, even though she wasn't a part of that conversation....and the only person that would have told you on a closed board was...? Eva. Hmm..the same Eva with Jeremiah? The same Eva that stole equipment from the Plaza and has repeatedly refused to give it back (so that the NPJC is last I heard seeking legal action to recover it, as it is theirs.) The same Eva that Tristan is friends with..and posted a Injury to One/None making her appear to be the victim after she got in the face of and harassed a person? (Who tried to make peace with her later and she was further rude too...ALSO unreported.)
The same Eva that got hostile towards a known violent offender..which could have caused harm to everyone ON the plaza? (You know, the folks you claim to care so much about.) The same Eva that took a hotel room all to herself that was supposed to be used for everyone? How about even the same Eva that got on cam calling anyone that eats meat murderers and bad people...and telling them they are ingesting poison all the while smoking a cigarette. Oh, right. THAT Eva.

Like I said..you're so freaking stupid you can't see the forest for the trees. You think yourself a queen, but the reality is that you're a pawn. A sad, insecure little pawn. News flash, f'sure...you're just making it worse on yourself. The more crap you pull, the more obvious it becomes. Hell, how can you even get information when you're not in the chats...been banned from the boards at least once...and you have *rarely* been on the plaza. So, if you aren't a delusional liar...how did you personally witness that, Dixie? Well? How was that possible? And why are folks that *have* been on the Plaza for extended periods (male and female) both saying you're full of it?

But i'm sure we're all just out to get you. The women are trying to suck up to their male overlords, f'sure, and the males are just trying to keep the females down and oppressed. Not like that's paranoid, or anything. We just don't understand. Only your cadre of blindly following chest thumpers can truly do that, parading the cause by smearing and harassing people via Facebook.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I think we have just found the female equivalent of Rush Limbaugh.
F'sure. ;P

Wow. Even quiet i'm popular.

In the latest from Dixie's blog, I get yet another mention. (Geeze, and i'm supposed to be the obsessed one.)  Here's what she has to say:

Phillip leads this pack of jackals, but I've already posted enough about him.  I will just point out here that somebody recently sent me information about Phillip too...very sad information, actually.  Information that gives context for his relentless and vicious attacks on me and other women who are part of ON, information, indeed, that explains why he's such a sad sack.  About that, I'll say only that I'm sorry he's had such a miserable lot in life, but I'm decidedly more sorry that his apparent way of dealing with it all is to project his anger onto others with lies and innuendo.

----------------------------------
Wow. Where to begin with this.
1) Someone sent you information. Are you really so stupid as that you can't see the forest for the trees?
The same people "sending you" info are the same people that were sending info about you. You're just so eager to look mighty and dominant that you'll take whatever you can get. Oh wait.."anonymous people off of FACEBOOK." (Because those people surely always tell the truth, eh?) Here's one for you..when was the last time you verified that the person giving you information wasn't just trolling you? The reason I say this is because I know of at least three persons that have already done this, sending you fake information to test whether or not you'd actually check the details. They've all told me this, and i'm sure their identities will come out sooner or later. Just kind of makes me curious.

2) Funny that alot of that info wasn't posted, but yeah, so my life wasn't the easiest...so WHAT? A few blog posts documenting some bad times as a means to get and keep it out of my system is hardly the decisive blow. Its amazing that in all the time you've spent writing, you seem to know little about actual investigation. Actually, that's probably why you didn't post it..because I could easily clarify alot of things that went on in the miscellaneous blog posts that got pasted in your comments section.
OH WAIT, I did that shortly before it got closed down.

3) Projecting anger with lies and innuendo. What would be the lies? You have yet to actually back up most of the things you say are lies...and you seem to love sticking on top of my head whatever gets passed around the next week, and the next, and the next. I'm not even a part of the Occupy anymore, and i'm still being accused of leading this and that.I can't actually recall the last time you *verified* anything...and you killed your comments because other people called you out on your bullshit. Men AND women alike. LOL, don't quit your day job.

What have I got angry about? People allowing crap to continue...and not sticking up for their own. That's definitely justified. As far as my usual ways of dealing with anger issues, they involve music, art, meditation..or just enjoying nature. So stick that in your crack pipe and smoke it. If you want clarification, actually ask me. You have enough time in the world to send me messages telling me i'm a POS, then you have enough time in to get your facts straight. I know that's difficult for you, but i'm sure it will be possible within the next 100 or so years when you develop some real class.

Oh, and then Occupy Patriarchy. Yeah, I saw your posts as Women Occupy Nashville, where you claim to speak for women occupiers yet have never been one yourself...saying how you repeatedly witnessed all of these acts...and what happened? Chris told you that you were full of it..and she would know as she's been ON the plaza for quite some time herself! Didn't have much to say on that, did you?

Tristan? Come on, that article was *slanted*. Even talking about Eva, he didn't actually get any additional testimony other than hers. The other stuff was ignored. You could easily sum it up as "My friend got picked on, and she's right because she's my friend!" (Gee, didn't we see similar with this and the KOS article for Jason?) When you go and harass someone and then cry "I'm a victim!"..(like going through the entire camp trying to stir up a mob on one person..)..you're just a moron.

Oh, and Mimi Yahn...whom, in the aforementioned thread just ate up everything you said without checking up on any of it. Like most of what I saw from the Occupy Patriarchy group...because *gasp*, I actually bother to look into things, read websites, and so on. Sorry, but blind followers don't get a high reputation..they're just a mob no matter how you dress them up. So much of such that none of you realized that *everyone* got played here..by a single co-opter/infiltrator. More on that coming up.

Occupy Misogyny? You're seriously full of shit. Many of the women have said time and time again that they have had little to no problems on the plaza. The people perpetuating this crap out of proportion come from your sad little grouping (most of which spends next to zero time on the plaza)..and Eva. Which, most folks don't listen to Eva for a reason. By the way, maybe you could report on how Eva still has donated equipment from the Plaza that should be on the Plaza but has adamantly refused to return it after multiple requests by multiple persons? Why so silent on that, Dixie?

Oh, and since I heard about this one, the thing with Matt and the donations is entirely false. Matt's gone to legal about it..and supposedly a woman came up and claimed this out of the blue. Matt doesn't handle donations in person, suggesting they be sent to the wepay account as a precaution, and he never accepts donations, especially checks.

Also, that kind of thing can *easily* be proven, yet has not..because there's nothing to it. Its bullshit. Matt is being targeted by your little group of screwjobs for little more than association with people you don't like. Like how the woman called up an Occupier after he announced he was getting a job interview...it was mentioned specifically that it was a woman, yelling all kinds of feminist garbage, and it ended up screwing up his chances at a job interview. All he did was mention it on the Occupy Nashville closed group site that is headed by Jason. That was it.

Why so silent on this, Dixie? And why are all your investigations easier to pick apart than a
kiddie scuffle in the sandbox?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we've moved on from that...looking at my comments, I got a few from Jason! Oh, and Joe.
Funny, they like to tease others with their little meme-ish games..but what did I do? Oh, right. Made a meme about BOTH of them and made sure it got sent to them. Promptly blocked as a result. I laughed nice and long about that, then I had some egg salad and continued on with my day.

Yep, you're such a big man that you can tease other people but can't take even the most remote teasing yourself. Way to go. Or, maybe you're just insecure because my sense of humor was better. Regardless, you're still a putz. And Joe continues to be Ragealot Barbie from the sidelines. Whoop-dee. Cry me a river, and I sincerely hope at this point after all of your ridiculous milking of the situation you DO get put in the same cell as Andrew and that it is filmed. We can title it "Welcome to Real Life, Stupid!" ..and we can send a portion of the proceeds towards the education of people that will not be stupid dumbasses on a consistent basis.

Moving on, yes there is an infiltrator in the group (Dorsey is correct about this one!), and Jeremiah is his name-O! Ah, but how did he do it? And why is Dixie so concerned by these other folks and yet fails to look this guy up, or report on him? Curious. Why so obsessed, Dixie?

To put it simply..Jeremiah played all of Occupy Nashville. Through Will and Eva, he had an ear and riled stuff up in the Media and Women's groups. He had full run of Direct Action. Through Jason he had an ear and riled up within the Tech and Livestream, as well as the other groups Jason was a part of.

Jason had alot of personal info, which wound up leaked *shortly* after Jeremiah and Dillon were rooming with him and using his computer left and right. People getting targeted for this were those *close* to him..and only a few people could have known this information. But hey, how am I sure that Jeremiah knows what Jason does? Its simple, I *tested* him by throwing some things out when it was just myself and Jason during one of the early tech meetings. If that information got around, i'd knew who spread it..and if not, I'd know I could trust him.

So, I knew exactly how that info reached Jeremiah's ears when old Jeremy tried to use it as leverage during a heated argument myself and him had..in which Jeremiah repeatedly attempted (and failed miserably) to play the victim, and engineer the use of head games. He brought up those details, thinking it would catch me off guard. Sorry chum, that crap doesn't work on me. Wait, I *told* him that. The result? He got mad and left, because he didn't have the control..and that's how this type of person works. All about the control. He can't

He would follow this up with Facebook harassment between him and Dillon using Jason's computer.
This is interesting to note, because these are the same type of tactics Jason himself would use along
with Joe and such later on! (However, Jeremiah's role got ignored altogether, as he was on the sidelines..and not directly able to be attributed to anything. Just like almost every other time.)

Afterwards, anytime I'd say something Jeremiah would step in and act like an ass, saying I was contradicting myself or being rude in general. Kinda like how he was rude to the three statesmen that came to visit and show support. (It was so bad that the facilitators themselves got upset and left. )Why was he rude? It wasn't about capitalism. He had to enforce his own personal dominance and show that he was in control.

Lets go back to the building incident. Jeremiah was one of the main people involved. It was a spectacle designed to get police attention and get arrests. BUT...no, it was more than that. It was a test. What better way to find out who was with him and who wasn't than that? And boy, he found out. Those people that *didn't* wind up royally ticked off largely became part of his group.

And then as earlier, key people winding up the rest, while he stepped off to the side and just watched. The followers. The ones that have to be a part of the group that looks cool. They almost all fit the same pattern.

So the women's group gets riled up and the grudge with Tech/Livestream continues. Its funny, because Dixie and company do not really understand just how badly they've been played. You thought you were advancing your cause? Get real. The only thing you were doing is helping ol Jeremiah further wedge Occupy Nashville into something he could control. You *thought* you were targeting abusive males, etc....when in fact you were largely going on the say so and knee-jerk mob mentality reactions perpetuated by those working with him. And you'd never suspect it..because one of em was a woman!

Meanwhile, we have Jason giving us in the Tech and Livestream all sorts of news and rumors about who was doing what. HA, you thought that was ME? You're full of shit. It wasn't me. It was *him*. It was him all along. The dox-ing? Jason. The one telling everyone about the news? Jason. The one in almost every group? Jason. The one who sat back and let everyone else get the heat for it? Jason, and Jason again. Of course...we never realized just how badly *we* got played..and i'm sure the vast majority of them still don't realize it themselves.

Oh, and who does Jason run with? Jeremiah. The guy that spent the majority of the beginning simply watching with that blank, emotionless face of his. Cept for the eyes. Whenever that one gets caught in a lie, or a contradiction, his eyes change ever so slightly. He passes himself off as intelligent and attempts to be charismatic..but he's neither of these, easily slighted...etc.

Jeremiah bragged about getting into Anon Ops, where wolfy was admin. Soon afterwards, information
that may or may not be (we honestly don't know, and that's up to the law to decide, not a mob) accurate was posted from a chat. But, he as he was hanging around the media tent alot, he knew alot of the workings that went on there. Then it was off to Eva to go tap the women's group. And then it was off to Jason to get everyone else riled.

And it worked. We ate each other alive, and its still happening. Ontop of that, he's one of those that has fought Code of Conduct, fought Transparency (as it was too Fascist!)..and ensured that people are squabbling over their own issues rather than focusing on stated goals. Which was our biggest drawing point.

Now let's go to Andrew. Where does that guy fit in, other than he got into a fight with Jason? Oh wait, but he does. See, he ticked off Jeremiah a whiles before. The former People's Library tent. Jeremiah and Will find a group of people using it as a social tent. (They had the books inside) Jeremiah gets ticked, starts trying to order people around..and finally starts cutting the tent. There are 11 people in there...and needless to say, they weren't happy. Andrew was one of them that told off Jeremiah..whom
was a while off the plaza ever since...he knew he bit off more than he could chew. Will went on to completely back up Jeremiah (which makes sense..as he's part of that group. He follows what is in Jeremiah's interests.) and lie about the incident.

Flash forward to Andrew and Jason, with Jason releasing his info not once, but twice. Of course he knew it would piss off Andrew. This was all about getting a little revenge for Jeremiah. Jason had no real original reason to release the info in the first place..and do NOT buy that crap about a dangerous criminal in the public, etc..we've had a few people with criminal records and he's never batted an eye.
He was always the one that could never be bothered.

When the livestream incident in the bar happened, who released the link in the chat? Jason.
When the second incident with the Ustream happened..whom made it public again? Jason.

In both cases until later, Matt wasn't aware until the uproar that it was even public. (I remember the first one, as I wasn't around for the second...and he thought I was kidding about an uproar as his channel only had about 7 people in it. He didn't know Jason had made the link public.)

And who is Jason buddy buddy with, the real puppetmaster from behind the scenes? Jeremiah.
Who gets away with bizarre and outrageous behavior? (Storm the hilton, for one.) Jeremiah.

Its what you would call sociopathic behavior with control as the trigger. This sort of person has to feel like they are always in control and have the power. So they will do things to test it, escalating it more and more until they destroy themselves. Some go on to become actual criminals..partly to test the authority and see who's stronger...and partly to GET put in prison to test themselves against equally dangerous and depraved people. They are at the forefront to get the attention of the police and prove their dominance and authority over those already in those positions..and they don't care who they hurt in the end. Those people are just pawns in their little game, and are casually tossed aside when they aren't very useful anymore.

And shoot, the history is even there. Marked clashes with authority, vandalization of things. Nothing but a step by step escalation. Then the building action designed literally to get arrests with no other real purpose in mind. He knew it would be justified. The more influential people justifying it were the ones connected to him!

To that end, Jeremiah has gotten himself some key people in some key places, knew all the workings and goings on..and played Occupy Nashville against itself. That's right..I said it. Occupy Nashville that stood up against the state got played, manipulated, and hijacked by a single sociopath. He played all of them. They'd never suspect him as he was their good buddy. The quiet one. This is a mentality and a social issue that has caused more casualties than war or disease, folks. "Oh,he'd never do that.."
That is what folks like that EXPECT and KNOW you will say. That is why doubting is a survival skill.

But people didn't want to do that. People wanted to be all inclusive, or not seem like they were stirring up trouble...so he just waltzed in and took over. This "kid" (and he is a grownup child) is full of contradictions...and its painfully obvious. One minute he's about peace and spirituality..the next minute its 'Fuck the police" and "we should storm the hilton!" He loves to throw around terms like Fascism (whenever someone disagrees with him on anything) like candy at Halloween..but its clear he really doesn't know what he's talking about. After all, when you have a group of followers that just want somewhere to belong..so they'll back up anything you say....well, that's hardly something to worry about, isn't it? (Seriously, look up the definition of sociopath.)

So now, we have a sociopathic juvenile delinquent with his own personal following (and everyone else that either can't or won't say jack diddly squat about it)....a tendency to escalate situations towards violence, and the need to provoke situations in order to justify his own personal authority...and eviction coming up of Occupy Nashville in 48 hours or so.

I wonder what he'd do in that situation?

Look, here's a word of advice..and you can take it or leave it. If you choose to ignore it, as far as i'm concerned its blood on your hands and its on your head. The next encounter will undoubtedly be a violent one. Steer clear of the Plaza. I'm serious. Take it on a 24-hour constant march with people joining and leaving as need be, and keep it up ALL WEEK LONG.
Don't fall into that trap.

And to Dixie...as obsessed as you are...seriously, what is your major malfunction? You claim to be about the cause and about Occupy Nashville and all...but the one person that is seriously the real harm to it....and connected to some of your not-so-favorite people...is the one person you don't have the balls to report on or investigate?

Why so silent on this, Dixie? Blog that.

Jason and Andrew, seriously?

And the apocalypse continues.

So, for those of you that do not know, Occupy Nashville's Jason and Andrew got into a bit of a fight.
This isn't the first time, but strangely enough Jason is playing the victim, while Andrew spent some time in jail. If I were Andrew, the first thing i'd have done is call up my lawyer and fire back with an Entrapment suit. Why do I say that?

Jason did it deliberately to rile up Andrew and set him off.

Now, before those of you go "Jason is my friend, and he would never!"...refer back to previous posts about turning a blind eye to things solely on the basis of friends status. Now smack yourselves in the head for being an idiot. Now continue.

Okay! Now that we got that vital step out of the way, lets move forward.

First, lets take Andrew. Base facts. Jiujitsu practitioner. Personal trainer on the side. Known for a hot temper, especially when it comes to his personal life or pride. Maybe insecurity, maybe not..but keep in mind, Jason knows *all* of this.

Jason, whom has his little moments of conniption fit where he shuts down because he didn't get his way, or ooh, ooh, someone called him a name.At least in camp. He's been smeared I don't know how many times but could never be bothered because oh, it wasn't important or worth his time. But now, oh dear lord, someone called him a name..so they have to pay for it....with harassment.

Now, having been a fellow that has stuck up for Jason a few times, I find it a bit screwed up that he would turn around and start exhibiting the same behavior, right down to the sorry, self-righteous justifications for his stupidity. Yes, it is stupidity. Anyone that tries to set off someone like Andrew is about as big of an effing dumbass as can be mustered..because you know the guy's going to be pissed, and that he will react in a likewise manner. You know it.

So, common sense would tell you that the last thing you would do is publicly release pictures like this (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/cdebra/Occupy/12a87e5b.jpg ) with his name attached, as well as DOX (release personal info on) the guy for the SECOND time.

That's right, this has happened before. In the middle of a chat conversation on Occupy Nashville's public group..Eva brought up that Andrew's personal information had been leaked. Since this was Eva, I was quite skeptical myself about the authenticity of the information.

It turned out to be true. Andrew asked Jason why he was doing this, only to be ignored. Then the emails "mysteriously disappeared." Andrew's reaction was to shred Jason's tent more or less, and he and a few others wound up in a brawl over it. More or less things got settled and life goes on.

....except that now, because Andrew supposedly used the term "faggot", that was justification for Jason and his boyfriend to release Andrew's personal info *again*...following it up with the meme aforementioned....all of this again, asking for trouble. You know what will happen..and this is what you do? Over an effing name? What a bunch of freaking infantile morons!

That's like saying..you know what? This group of Hell's Angels bikers just ticked me off. They said I stink. I'm going to go call them a bunch of sissies and slash their tires and see what happens.

Obviously, people with a brain don't do that. Why? Common sense will tell you why, because it is just plain STUPID to do something like this.

........so, cause and effect and what do we get. Naturally, given known behavior..Andrew snaps and attacks Jason. His personal info has been released for the second time, just because of the pissy temper tantrums of Jason..again, which doesn't make sense considering all the names any occupier has been called since this started. Faggot is pretty tepid in comparison. Jason WAS TOLD TO KNOCK IT OFF THE FIRST TIME. He ignored that.

But now...Jason's the victim? He knew what would happen if he continued in this manner. He knew what Andrew was like, and he knew that doing this would set him off. And he had been asked (nicely at that, which is rare for Andrew i'll admit.) to knock off with the dox attempts. Jason continued anyway.

No, Jason isn't the victim. On the other hand, Andrew is still at fault for the way he handled himself. Neither party is innocent..but probably what pisses me off the most about this is again, someone within a certain faction/group is being picked on..and is the victim..when in reality that is not the case. (In case you didn't know, he's been buddy buddy with Jeremiah for some time. When Jeremiah was harassing folks via Facebook..it was *Jason's* computer they were using..as well as him and Dillon rooming with him for a time.Oh, and Jason has routinely covered for Jeremiah's antics. The plot thickens..) Hiding behind the victim moniker..showing off that bruise..yeah, well..you know what?

He deserved it. When you *know* what will happen and you do it anyway, you seriously deserve what you get. That's on *your* head at that point..and no amount of crying over it is going to change that fact, no matter how many friends you have and who decides to cover for you.

And GOD DAMN it..that the day would come when I actually had to AGREE with Dixie is seriously a messed up day..so thanks alot for that. Sheesh.

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down..

Look, Occupy Nashville, this is as far as you go. Until you act to redeem yourselves from the betrayal against yourselves and the people you claim to represent, neither you..nor any grouping that carries your banner will know success.


That said, for starters, some updates. After my last post, the aforementioned person decided to remove me from the closed group Occupy Nashville (The one the public doesn't see.)..and the Occupy TN network. The first wasn't surprising..since apparently his own personal ego can't take the word co**s****er barely spelled out, but can ignore everything else, including an Occupier losing a job interview due to the stupidity.

Remember what I said about priorities? Way to prove me right. Although doing the second probably means something was spread in email chains again. *rolls his eyes* Weird considering I never post in that location, and the last few posts were no worse than anything else on there, unless calling to get off your ass and take care of things is a horrific offense.

Then, his boyfriend decides to follow it up by posting the personal information of Andrew. Now, disagreeing with someone is one thing, but the dox was supposed to be a ways to keep people informed of potentially dangerous people, or abusive people. Not as a weapon of personal vendetta by two guys with insecurity issues that go into a temper tantrum whenever their egos get singed. (Jason and Joe, looking at you here.)

Mind you, this guy routinely covers for Jeremiah and his little group...they can do whatever they like. But god help you use the aforementioned term, or get into an argument. Then its boo-hoo all the way to childishland. Even the stuff with Dixie I could understand..since she regularly smeared people that were with Tech or Livestream...but this? Andrew was already dox-ed once, and none too happy about it. When this all came out, Jason couldn't even be bothered to fess up to the fact that he had done it.

Yet, the state is coming, and we should bail him out, right? Better idea. Let his butt sit in jail so he can think about all the drama *he* caused, the crap *he* allowed, and so on. Don't bail them out! DO NOT bail ANY of them out. They betrayed the people for their own greed. It became more about what the people might think, or what the press might say about an action..then "what good can I create in the world today?" They betrayed the people they claim to represent, and they betrayed themselves.

Cause and effect.

Oh, but here's a quote from the GA minutes for yesterday, 2/25/2012..via Lindsey. Ready for this?

*This GA was the roughest GA I’ve ever been to. There was so much tension and hostility in the air and there were very few people who respected the GA process. Most people yelled over other people and spoke out of turn… it was painful. Some of the soapboxes were violent and hostile with people singling other people out by name and saying hurtful things. After the GA ended, a fight broke out between two long-time occupiers. We were barely able to physically restrain them from fighting, and then 2 state troopers walked up which calmed the fight temporarily. Not long after that, the fight resumed and I’m told that it was taken off the plaza. As Kevin said in an email from yesterday, “There was real damage done today. I think this prolonged eviction process is eating ON alive.” Throughout the GA and the fight afterward, people were walking by with their families watching us fight, watching us be hostile with one another, watching us yell and curse. We are going to fall apart if something doesn’t change and if people don’t begin respecting the GA process and respecting one another.

Now, in case you think i'm just making this up, you can find it on their forums here:

http://occupynashville.org/forum/index.php?topic=1572.0

...and that's because i'm not making any of this up. I've been saying this for a while now, and i'll say it again. You all fucked up. You were consumed by your greed..and real damage done today? No, its *been* there. You're just now letting yourselves see it. But by now, its too little, too late. The inmates run the asylum.."you can't tell them what to do" like the children they are...and you're probably not going to like the apathetic turkeys *you* are.

You have no spine. You have no pride. You're fired.

Get the hell out and make way for someone that actually cares to make a difference for the world, not just their own personal press appearance. You're not OCN. You're a sick joke. The only reason people are coming to support against this bill is because it effects everyone...don't kid yourselves into "We're protecting free speech!" ....because you've demonstrated pretty clearly that the only speech you care to have freely is someone in your own personal factions or cliques.

Then it goes back to my last post, rinse..lather..repeat. And that's pretty well the way it will continue until it just all falls apart (it more or less already has..and you have yourselves to thank via your silent consent..and your cronyism.)..or spectacularly self-destructs.

You have but yourselves to blame, so enjoy your reward! You've earned it.

Here we go again.

Human mentality is simply a bizarre, yet curious thing.

For starters, I read the "dailys" within a certain group to hear how someone is so offended by the word "co*****ker." However, when a person is being accused as a pedophile, or of stealing a check and making it out to themself, or getting an interview ruined....

...no outcry.

It never ceases to amaze me in terms of what people seem to prioritize as actually important enough to deal with. A bar that refuses you service is a big thing...someone stealing 100 bucks of donation money to buy drugs with isn't. Save the occupation from being evicted...but...when its all over with...refuse to help out
that occupation, label it as un-necessary, and play games to try and turn it inside out by smearing the people that actively do participate in it.

Anything to bury your heads in the sand. However, the world is supposed to stand up, take notice..and heed your message..oh, right, that. Somewhere in the last few months they still have not only managed not to get that underway, but distract the conversation whenever it comes up. Its "not important" to focus on that.

I don't know, it just seems like as of late, unless there's the chance for a blurb in the paper or with the news, OCN really just doesn't care, and doesn't want to. You're not going to make them, you're not going to tell them what to do...and heaven help you if you stand up and say "something's wrong with this picture." It doesn't matter what is going on, suddenly no one cares and no one wants to hear it..no matter how damaging it may be as a whole to how the Occupy here comes off. They don't seem to care that it destroys alot of support before it even starts......its all about the publicity.

Once its big enough that they can't shut it up, its out of control...or it starts creating negative press..THEN that's when they are..and oh, the indignity at how they are wronged! So much so that they forget that they brought this on themselves by letting it happen. It was bad enough we, as a people, allowed the government to routinely wrong us to no end...

...and we turned a blind eye. Now, unless the press is involved, we again turn a blind eye, belittle those whom would stand up and try to get these issues address..and how quickly you go from a valuable member of the community to a Fascist, mysognist, habitual liar..and whatever else they can stick to you to try and kill your credibility...again, anything to not have to actually do anything about whatever problems arise. They'll argue about it...they blame everyone else about it..and they'll smack anyone that
says otherwise (not literally, lmao..) ...but when it comes to actually DOING something about it..it won't happen. You'll hear excuses, and rhetoric..and brilliant speeches...

...but tell me what you see.  Without any press involvement and for the greater good alone, what do you see? You don't. Its all about the image. There are really good people involved in the Occupy Nashville scene that DO cater to this..for the greater good, but they are few and far between..and drowned out by the people that are blinded by their own personal greed..be it greed for attention, or for the praise..or for lord knows what else.

The really screwed up part is that this originally was not how things were at all. People worked together. They looked at "how can we better ourselves" and "how can we better the world"..and now that's devolved into "How can I look good for the history books?"..and "what attention can I get out of this?" Some of the homeless aren't the only ones using Occupy Nashville. To look at them, people that are well meaning, bright smiling, charming and charismatic..you'd never think twice.

Never judge a book by its cover. Too many times have I seen incidents overlooked just because a friend of someone's was involved...and "oh, we can't talk badly about him/her.."

...then, when incidents escalate, they have the audacity to wonder "Why is this happening?" DUH, BECAUSE YOU IDIOTS LET IT HAPPEN! Clear enough yet? Oh, but immediately they shake their heads, roll their eyes, and look the other way. Anything to keep their heads in the sand.

But then they say "We will change this world, and help people!"

Sure you will, as long as good press is attached and you can milk it for all its worth. Anything to get attention..but the true worth of any organization..be it a workplace, an organization, or an activist/political movement...is how it deals with its internal problems and how it takes care of its people. And you don't..and you won't do that..but you wonder why support is dwindling. Oh, it will take care of itself..just like the problems will magically do the same.

You have blinded yourselves. You are lying to yourselves. As long as you continue down this path, you are incapable of real change or progress. You can't change the future by replaying the past..and that is what is occurring. The same backwards mentalities..the same ridiculousness that created the problems of the corruption, cronyism, corporate greed, and governmental stupidity...this is just the lesser expression.

And you can't beat the "enemy" by becoming them. That is when you truly are lost.

In the past, I would have again stood with you to face the evictions, and helped fight it. And supported it. But I can't. You folks are truly, truly lost. You have fallen, and you won't get up. You choose this, and you continually choose this. So, you have no one to blame but yourselves. You could have done something. You could have said no. You didn't. You have no real spine. You have no real pride. You have brought this on yourselves...and there's no sympathy to be had for you.

Your own people weren't important enough for you to stand by and back up. Instead, you partook of
cronyism and just looked the other way. You allowed the lawless to consume and misuse our resources, even when our donors insisted that they be used strictly for the Occupiers. You abused their trust, and you basically shrugged your shoulders and said "This is silly, we don't care." Now, that the state's stepped in..you're puffing up your chests and saying how you are Occupy Nashville, even though there are so many factions within factions and folks only seem to BE Occupy Nashville long enough to claim *its* resources for whatever personal project they want to tackle for themselves.

Then, after its done, suddenly they're not Occupy Nashville any longer and autonomous. At least, until they need its money and resources again. Rinse, lather, repeat.

A bunch of fools that will never honestly change the world. Why? They can't change themselves.
....and those that created the problem shall never know reward for its solutions. You're fired.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, Norma seems to have removed all comments from her blog, because of threatening and libelous remarks. Um, try telling the truth Mah Dear. As has been stated before, this is someone that cannot handle criticism..and can never be wrong. I wish I had saved the remarks listed before, so I could paste them here and show you just how full of shit this woman is.

So, what were they? Scathing remarks telling Dixie how immature she was being, and how she needed to grow up and use her time more constructively. I can't do the posts justice..but in typical form and fashion, despite being "anti-censor" and "how dare you attempt to remove my freedom of speech!"...it isn't very surprising that she has no problem doing the same to others. Rather, anything that would make her ashamed of herself..she just can't face it. She's great at blasting anyone else on a whim..but when it comes to it being centered back on herself..she reveals herself for what she is...a coward.

Oh, and then the "Phillip convention"..that I found more laughable than anything. Jeremiah and his trolls (Yes, I recognize your writing style. You're way too obvious)..decided to half-ass dox me, post part of a blog entry of mine from 2004..and attempt poor impersonations of me ranging from ragey to emo to semi-sophisticated to whatever. Needless to say, I got a pretty good laugh out of it...even though the impersonations were pretty sad and nowhere near close. Good attempt though. Famous enough to have a miniature impersonation convention and I still haven't done anything really noteworthy other than
telling people what they don't want to hear. *laughter*

I mean, by all means, keep proving me right folks. If that's honestly the best you can do, remember..I have a nice long memory too and I can easily fire back..not to mention comment on events since I actually know me..and i've actually been there.

OH, that reminds me. Great job at being full of it Norma, posting in Women Occupy Nashville as to how you have personally witnessed all kinds of abuse towards women...I just kind of wonder *how* you did that when you were never on the Plaza..except what...two, three times..and briefly at that to talk to some people and leave? Yeah, that is a good question. Kind of like the Injury to None and Eva being the victim for going up and harassing a guy that was just passing through the area.  Keep up the good work..you just make it easy on me here. It isn't surprising when a lady that has BEEN on the Plaza said "Um..you're incorrect. I saw nothing of that there.."

...yet, her story doesn't get told. Norma, Eva, and the lot of the male bashers would rather tell you about how all men are the enemy and how they're out to hold all women down then actually work towards a future of *equality* where all folks are equal..man and woman alike..and this stupid, childish, dominance bullshit goes right out the window. Here's hoping these sorry excuses for people leap right out with them.

The future has had enough of you. Fix yourselves, or be fixed. You have no one to blame but yourselves. You are what is allowing it to continue, and you will reap what you have justly earned.

Occupy the Rebuttal 5: Trolls, Additions, and a Pause in the road..

So, releasing the four blogs thus far has created quite a stir, huh?

In the day or so since writing this (if even)..i've got some messages from many different mediums, as well as catching up on Norma's blog..the usual Facebook IM stuff, and so on.

Apparently, I write "tomes" now, and she's concerned for my sleeping habits? Um, okay. Sure.
I slept pretty well, and thanks for the concern. I can actually type pretty quickly, and i'm used to typing
alot in a short amount of time. Its just a manner of thinking...and so writing "tomes" is actually pretty easy. The only one that gave me pause out of the four was the last one, between the ongoing chats of people that also find all of this absurd and petty...and trying to put my thoughts together and think back...waaay way back to when this all started, to serve as a good reference point for where things are now. But hey, thanks for the concern, just the same.

Needless to say, Norma's blog is pretty well full of trolls. You can tell about as much because they lack a little something called "reading comprehension "...they just pick out a phrase like "emotionally", stick their own garbage to it, and make lols to it. Then you respond, and they continue the same. Some of it was pretty hilarious..but honestly..at this rate as so much of it is pretty sad..PLEASE, let me do the writing for you. Seriously, i'll take commissions. We'll both be less bored, it will be some spare cash in my pocket..and i'll actually know what i'm talking about..since I know me better than anyone. *laughs*

Although, all you really have to do sometimes to know whom is the Anonymous person is to match past behavior (juvenile trolling)...comment language (Style of writing)...and actions mentioned. (Building action, twice.) Gee...who was just talked about for that again?
Add to that a recent joking message from Jeremiah, and there you have it. I mean, guys..don't know who you think you're kidding here. You're way, way too obvious. This is the guy that was on Jason's Facebook account...trying to troll me and say crude things about myself and my girlfriend. (Dillon later did this out in public...neither of the two were chastised for it or reprimanded..and yet, talk about bad behavior and you're being silly and un-productive. Amazing, what is and isn't considered a problem these days..)

Way, way, too obvious folks.

Oh, and Jon's name is mentioned..by an anonymous..behind a pseudonym that only four people knew about. Gee, like Jeremiah or one of his couldn't have got on Jason's Facebook and snooped around before outing it? (One of those anons was the one that mentioned it..again, too obvious.)

Yeah, tell me again what a great guy he is, because he's your friend.

Human Mentality.
"Oh, this person isn't involved because I like them."
"Oh, they couldn't have done that because they are so charming/my friend.."

..god, you people should listen to yourselves.

In many cases of abuse..why does the abuser get away with it?
"They were such a pillar of the community."
"They were such a nice, friendly person.."

....see a pattern, much?
What is written here, albeit lengthy..is the weight of things that have actually occurred, and taken place
on the ground. Away from the cameras, behind the livestream..within meetings, and away from the online. It shows a side that many folks just don't see.

Sure, there is the need to back up your "pals". But in some cases, this simply sets us up for failure, especially to be used by other people claiming to be our good buddy and pal.....as long as they can get access to what you have, information...your computer...and so on.

People have all kinds of sides to them. That charming person could actually be quite the sociopath, and into god knows what. Does that mean that's the case? Hell no...but it does mean that just because a person is a friend doesn't mean you should put the blinders on and immediately back them up without question or delay.

Jeremiah's a big one..but Wolfy would probably be another case in point. In Jeremiah's case..his actions and his words speak for themself..as do the majority of the folks he tends to pack aboard...followers, or the sorts that "have to be a part of the crowd"..you can spot them a mile away, folks. He'll talk about violent actions and "fuck the police" one moment..and then cover it up with some lame, bullshit excuse the next. Sure, you can tell him he's full of it..but at that point you're the crazy one. Everyone else is crazy or wrong or doesn't know what they're talking about but Jeremiah. Look up sociopath sometime.
Blank, emotionless demeanor, no remorse for their actions..etc,etc,etc. (And yet, I don't see any 'reporting' or 'investigating' of him, Norma...why not? You're so concerned with occupy..and this is trivial? Sure..okay.)

...and before his little cheerleader group gets into a huff, people that know him have said the same things. A petty vandal, out of control, remorseless, and generally tends to be full of it, with a penchant for letting others take the fall for his schemes. Talked with a fellow that knew him in New York, where they had the bridge incident. I asked him about Jeremiah's version..in which he claimed people were not corralled onto the bridge (despite more than a few people saying otherwise, including an arrested reporter no less...gee..) but climbed the fences and so on. You know that the guy said?

"He's full of it. I was there on that bridge...and Jeremiah was off to the side, watching. That's what he usually does. He sits back and watches, and puffs up his chest after. Never knows what the hell he's talking about..he's all talk, that's about it.."

That's just one example. But hey, by all means keep following around a sad, sorry excuse for a juvenile, propping him up like your personal savior. I'm sure he'll forward the revolution by continuing to stand on the sidelines, getting *you* involved, and trolling people from Facebook. If you need to be a follower badly enough to follow a child like that..then you have my personal sympathies.

Now, regarding Wolfy. Questionable past? Definitely. Pedophile? He's been accused of such, with little actual proof to back it up this far other than a website run by a very deranged woman, whose latest exploits have included declaring that her investigation methods are always 100% reliable and need no checking or skepticism...and that those that disagree with her are either pedophiles themselves or pedophile supporters.

It should also come as no surprise that Mahdear/Norma counts on this woman as a messenger, having referred themselves as a "Thelma and Louise." (That's great, but can we skip to the scene where the two go flying off a cliff already? Just saying.) Both ladies can never be wrong about anything, and both ladies resort to the smearing and twisting of words in order to get things done. Also, both ladies ( Using the term lady very lightly here..)resort to provoking mob mentality at any and all times of opportunity...and neither lady will actually *read* through anything in its entirety. Grab a few words, a choice phrase..smear it, blog it..done. That's the scope of their investigation.

While its obvious that Wolfy was targeted because of his involvement with the ground servers at occupy Nashville..(an unofficial part of Livestream and Tech), no charges have been filed, nor has any actual investigation taken place. Keep in mind, also...the THP is just looking, *looking* for anything. You would *think* that the state would be all over that kind of thing.

Just the same,Trill (Cynthia) can't even make up her mind whether or not she actually owns the site in question..even though she's flat out said it herself. (Evil unveiled). Later, she was to follow up by calling out Jason on a hastily made blog about a leather community? Just goes to show you she doesn't read a darn thing. She was called into question because her group's tactics involved "emailing and letter mailing, calling and harassing others for the lulz"...and it is actually speculated that she may herself be a closet pedophile...and it is stated in her own words that she "enjoys hurting others and causing them pain." Oh, right..and the whole thing about issues with male enslavement. (Riight..she's a feminist, though. Or...not.) Oh, and this is the second group. The first was closed down, and some of its members were reportedly threatened with legal action (over false claims), though much of that isn't 100% verified as of time of this writing.

Here's one you may have missed from the site. Curiously enough, the site she "doesn't run" makes reference to "Another RookieeJ (probably misspelled the name here, ah well.)"....and wait, isn't that odd?

That name just happens to be another one of Cynthia's aliases. Otherwise known as Trillian Dent (Way to screw up a name of one of my fave characters..)...and TrillGreen.

So..a site that unmasks pedophiles....using one of her own aliases? That's...a bit fucked up, in no un-certain terms. Then..we have her accusing others of pedophilia.

I don't know about you, but this is the last person to be accusing anyone of anything, much less
having an investigation on someone. Hello, invasion of privacy much? Doubt she'll complain about that one though..unless the magnifying glass is back on her.
Side shout out: It is interesting to me that Norma talks about the drug use of others when she does the ol MJ herself..and is shown as joining a messageboard for methadone addiction. Now, addictions are a serious matter..and a dark time in anyone's life. It is no laughing matter. The point of it is...its pretty fucked up to go around talking about other people's possible drug use and pointing fingers when you're just as guilty..especially if its out in the open.

Oh, right..but we were talking about Wolfy and getting to the point. Am I defending this person?

Not precisely. I don't know whether he is or isn't a pedophile. Is that a serious thing? Damn straight. And if he is, he should be prosecuted and dealt with..but by a COURT OF LAW...not by a mob of fucked up people that can't even read the English language long enough to compose a complete thought, and certainly not by a mob mentality that does not think, reason, or use logic in the slightest.A mob doesn't solve crap. Have an official investigation, and shut the fuck up.

Its as simple as that.Is he my friend? Yeah. Does that mean he gets off scott free? HELL NO. I simply prefer it to come from a source of investigation that actually knows their stuff and isn't..oh, I don't know..batshit crazy past the infinite degree. Pretty easy to figure, I would think.
If you really want to get into it, the whole "My friend is immune to attack or reproach!" ..is what gets this whole Factions bullshit started and ensures nothing goes anywhere. It also doesn't say much for the self-esteem and the self-respect of those that practice it. Obviously, this statement isn't about to make me any friends and I can hear the FUCK YOUs a mile away..but this isn't being posted to make friends..its being posted to call folks out on their bullshit, because Occupy Nashville has gone from being something magnificent....to being a petty myriad of Factions, infighting, drama..and ego-cases that make our current government look pretty damn good in comparison.
And after months of "Oh no, you shouldn't say that or air our dirty laundry.." ...again, hell no. It should be said..remember transparency guys? Huh? Well, here it is. Here's your transparency. Grow a set of balls, take care of the problems and don't sweep them under the rug or belittle those that talk about them. Do that, and you won't have to worry about things like this. Isn't it curious? You're so worried about your image...but if you really gave half a crap about that you would fix yourselves..and do something to get yourselves in check. You won't..and you don't. You back up the psychos and you throw the rest to the wolves for the sake of your own petty, childish egos.

That is why you are incapable of change. That is why you're a bunch of liars. And you are lying. You can't claim to stand up for people when you won't stand up for yourselves. A few months in and its still the same tired excuses..and the "we never strayed from the message!" Uh..sure you didn't. Keep telling yourself that..or, you can take the blinders off...take a good hard look at yourselves, and realize that the entire movement is in dire need of an overhaul, spring cleaning..and getting its shit together.

So if you're reading this, and you think its atrocious, you're right..it is. Dealing with it was worse.
If you're pissed off, maybe you should ask yourself why, and while you're at it take the blinders off.
If you're upset that this has or is happening..don't let it continue. This is a wakeup call. Make the most of it or you have but yourselves to blame.

The fact that this has not only happened, but been *allowed* to happen by people claiming to be the 99% and the voice of the people..and there for the people....is probably the biggest bullshit of all time aside from anything to come out of politics. There are many good people still in the movement, but their actions more often than not are hampered by the majority of folks that are just there for their own personal agendas, groupings..or egos...or worse, those there to get a press spot at the expense of everyone else.

Its sad when you look at the criticisms by skeptics of the movement when we first started up, and then you look at things now, from the perspective of someone that has watched alot of stuff go down...and you start to go "Crap..they were right. We proved them right.." ...that's a pretty sobering moment.

Reflect on that before you go shooting your mouths off. You may think you are in the right, but you're only fooling yourselves, and full of yourselves. If you can't even get off your collective asses to fix yourselves...then Occupy Nashville is dead, regardless of whether or not it is evicted, or people are on the Plaza..or doing things for a PR spot...and so on. You're drunk off your own pride, and your own rebelliousness, and your own egos. That's all it is..and it is not the work of adults. It is the squealings of children..and the bratty ones no less.

Next Part: Back to the grind (Jon, Norma, Trill, power on the Plaza.)
