In a piece that must be read to be believed, the radical publication Adbusters, which first suggested the tactic of occupying Wall Street, has now officially endorsed the Black Bloc anarchists as the next phase of the now-flaccid Occupy movement.
This endorsement is especially interesting, since many involved with Occupy publicly deny that the Black Bloc is actually affiliated with Occupy. Many have instead claimed that the Black Bloc are actually undercover police. Don't tell that to Adbusters, though: they give full-throated approval the Black Bloc and their violent May Day tactics in an article entitled, "Battle for the Soul of OccupyRound 7 - The Black Bloc Anarchist Turn."More

Someone should stroll through their encampment and spread a little ricin around.
Adbusters and the Black Bloc is going to ruin Occupy then. There was an event where several Iraq/Afghanistan vets gave back their medals in protest but that was completely overshadowed by violence between protesters and police that occurred shortly thereafter. Non-violence takes longer, but as demonstrated by Gandhi and Dr MLK eventually results will come.
