Voor wie het echte verhaal wil zien, tot begin februari is bij Beautiful Distress in Amsterdam Noord (NDSM) een expositie over 15 jaar Nederland Word Beter (En dus KOZP). Dikke aanrader.

In the linked zine, you can read the analysis of the WTO protests that RAND corporation later republished. If it's good enough for the capitalist ruling class, it's good enough for us.

The screenshots here show how false—if not mendacious—your account is.

Police Go on the Offensive Shortly after 10 a.m., the Seattle Police Department got their show on the road. The Seattle Police began using tear gas to clear the streets. It’s still not clear if the order was issued by Assistant Chief Ed Joiner—Chief Stamper had delegated control of the WTO operation to him and did not arrive at the commanders’ meeting until late that afternoon—or if was a spontaneous decision made by officers in the street. The use of gas may have been an effort to open a pathway into the protest area from outside, as the gas was fired at on Sixth Avenue, between University and Union Streets. This is the extreme southern end of the triangular area blockaded by the Direct Action Network. The Seattle Times said “police used gas to disperse demonstrators massing.” Police officials later explained that the gas was an attempt to expand and re-connect their now isolated perimeters inside the crowds. None of these explanations makes much sense. The Black Bloc While the police were regrouping and preparing to force the Direct Action Network protesters to join the AFL-CIO parade, several groups took advantage of the lull in the battle. They’ve all been lumped together into a nameless anarchist horde, but the fact remains there were two distinct groups acting out different agendas, not one “organized” anarchist conspiracy as the myth would have it. At approximately 1 p.m., the police temporarily stopped trying to push corridors through the protest area. The “Black Bloc” anarchists had entered into an understanding with the Direct Action Network that they would refrain from vandalism at least as long as the protests remained peaceful. This is another way of saying that they were loosely following the lead of the DAN organizers. How loosely is shown by the fact the Black Bloc arrived downtown armed with hammers, crowbars, spray paint, M-80 firecrackers, and paint bombs. Their goal was a “propaganda of the deed” centering around vandalizing chosen stores—Nike, Starbucks, the Gap, Old Navy and others—which they saw as fitting targets.

Sommige tactieken werken averechts. NAVO/EU-staten te hulp roepen is daar een voorbeeld van. Je vijand gaat je niet helpen.

Even goed: goeie reis, en solidariteit :-)

Ja precies. Dat is wat die dappere demonstranten ook willen. Zelf beslissen, en het niet aan een tyrannieke regering overlaten.

Imagine being the future mayor of the city and soon being held responsible for racist state terror like this.

Nee. De partij die toen won, vermomde zich als pro-EU en democratisch, en gaandeweg ontpopte ze zich als verlengstuk van een pro-Russische oligarch. Mensen zijn terecht boos.

Plus: zelfs een meerderheidspartij hoort t demonstranten niet te laten aftuigen. Ook een minderheid heeft rechten.

Een "Like" voor de aankodndiging, niet voor het laatste zinnetje. Wij moeten niet de politicus of diplomaat gaan uithangen. Dat is HUN fatale spel. Plague on both their houses, VS én EU..

"Europa, grijp in", is onzin. Europa is een samenraapsel van koloniale machten, geen mensenrechtereddingsbrigade. Als Europa ingrijpt, dan is dat net zo imperialistisch als wat de VS doet.

Ligt er al een protest-oproep klaar?
WIJ moeten ingrijpen. WIJ zijn ook te stil.

Ja, wat Rusland en die regering doen is vreselijk en verwerpelijk. Maar Georgië is niemands eigendom, ook niet van de EU.
