@hopeoverfear01 cc @Radical_Indy @Butterfly_Reb Keeping ourselves Occupied


cc @occupyglasgow @Occupyglasgow1 The following was composed before I was aware of the Hope over Fear Rally Sunday 12th Oct George Square Glasgow.
Hopefully it may be of *urgent* use w.r.t. the event and subsequent occupations/ rallies.
I note in passing that @OccupyScotland is still available as an account :)

Given that the Occupy Central (Umbrella Revolution) is focussing peoples' desire for real democracy. And given that the act of aggregating into crowds is in itself an act of self empowerment.

Perhaps its time to pull together the old Occupy movement.

However let's be practical about this. Winter is approaching and tents are cold. But we could do a few practice runs.

1/ Inform the police of the following and the expected reprisal. This makes you the good guys and -as we shall see- pays extra dividends.
2/ Announce a Yes flash mob to congregate in a public space eg. St. Georges Square. In solidarity with the Occupy Central movement.
3/ Arrange for street entertainment, guest speakers. A (re)introduction to Consflow and consensus democracy. Do I see any Jazz hands here?
4/ Arrange for an escape route and train up stewards with the responsibility for a safe evacuation of the space.
5/ Wait for the thugs to turn up. And they will...
6/ Start the evacuation: children and innocents; whilst ramping up the confrontation with the thugs - along a frontline of *your* choosing.
7/ Once you have sufficiently enraged their pea like brains: surrender the space to them.
8/ Cue lots of Nazi salutes and Union Jacks.
9/ Don't forget to leave behind a Saltire for them to burn :)
10/ Document the spectacle. Live stream, pictures and video. Share on public media. Meme: "No = Nazi"
11/ Let the polis make a few arrests. Which makes them happy.
12/ Repeat on a regular basis until you run out of thugs...

I would suggest once a month until spring sets in. Then set up for the long haul.
A permanent Occupation or set of Occupations across Scotland until Independence.
With the polis onside for once!

Job done.

"Hope is our Duty"
