It’s been a hectic time here in the Raincouver. As you may have heard Amy Goodman was detained at the Canadian border when she was on her way to Vancouver to give a talk. The border cops wanted to know if Amy was going to speak about the Olympics and she had no fuckin idea what they were talking about. The group of media ninja’s I’ve been helping organize, the Vancouver Media Co-op broke the story and published Amy’s entire speech.

Well subMedia has been talking about the Vancouver Olympics for quite some time, but sometimes it takes a high profile incident to bring this shit to light. So be it. Today Democracy Now! ran a segment about the Vancouver Olympics with Chris Shaw, author of “The Five Ring Circus” and David Eby of BC Civil Liberties. All the footage used on the story came from independent video ninjas from the motherfuckin VMC (Vancouver Media Co-op), B-Channel News, subMedia and Victoria Indymedia.

So the Olympics are fucked, and we would love it for those who have the means and the time to join us in disrupting this spectacle of capitalism. The Olympic Resistance Network has called for a convergence and days of action from February 10-15 in Vancouver. If you can’t make it, and you live in Canada, you can always help disrupt the torch relay.

But if you live elsewhere, you can cause some trouble by plastering this lovely image in your city
