“Call For Court Support Fuck Remorse, Smash The State I will always be a revolutionary!!!!
Feb 8th 8:30 am Front Steps of Old City Hall
Rally in Defense of our politics and for Political status!!!

Bring Flags, banners and symbols of our politics!!!

On Feb. 8th, once again I am called to bow my head in fear and approuch the court of her Majesty cowering at the power and might of the state with fear in my heart. Once again I refuse to do this and hold high my bright red banner of revolution and call on people to join me.

We must never be ashamed of our politics or ideology that is the driving force of our resistance. This court hearing is called a Judicial Pretrial and its purpose is to sort out what can be worked out between, me the crown and the judge. I go in with the spirit that there is nothing to workout, becuase i have done nothing wrong!!!!!

These days what the courts are doing is attacking peoples politics through talk of remorse. Smashing a window is not an ideology but rather a tactic, there is not ideology around a tactic, a tactic can be good or it can be bad depending on the circumstance.

One can use a tactic and then feel that it was incorrect and feel remorse over using that specific tactic. However what the court is now doing is saying that to say that you are remorseful is not enough, you must prove it by cutting of all your ties with your group that you organize with, change your views through disassociating yourself from your politics and go to Botswana to get a tapeworm.

This has nothing to do with wether someones actions were correct or incorrect but rather an attack on peoples politics and there right to be political. Once again by bring up the Robin Henry case at everyones sentencing around the g20 the state shows that it has no concern for whether something is legal vs illegal but rather, there concern is to attack peoples politics and to make themselves dissassociate themselves from there political life. This is fucken bullshit!!!!!!

We are not the ones who have anything to feel bad about or ashamed, but rather it is the state that should feel ashamed for there crimes against the people, here and abroad. It is the g20 leaders whom should feel ashamed for there crimes against the people conspiring to destroy our economy, our lives and build there mansions on the crushed aspirations and bones of the peoples of the world.”
