Occupy Underground

engaging in spying fits perfectly with the third world " economic hitman " model offered by Perkins.


I'm just a regular autoworker, but I volunteered to sit in the Rotunda at the Capitol in Lansing for the right to work protest, where I learned a few things:

1. I cannot sit cross-legged for more than 30 min without a painkiller.

2. you get really paranoid when you volunteer for such things. They told us not to bring our phones because the cops can do whatever they want with them. I left it at home, even though there is nothing interesting on it. As a result, I missed getting photos of Jesse Jackson,Gretchen Whitmer and Verg Bernero. Kinda pissed me off, since everyone else brought theirs.
Got really paranoid when someone pointed out one of the young girls in our group. She was constantly going over to one of the cops and talking. The guy next to me was sure she was under cover. I thought she was just a kid from the teachers' Union. Now I'm not sure.
3. There appears to be a professional class of young protesters that know all the chants involved with such activity.

4 Cops get scared, and that is not a good thing. I wasn't concerned about a riot breaking out at all. the atmosphere seemed "forcefully peaceful". We were pissed , but violence was not on the agenda. Some of the young cops looked like they were terrified. I thought about telling one of them to relax, but didn'treally want a pepper-spray saute to go with my ham sandwich.

5.Its hard to know who your friends are. I trusted the UAW guys that I was sitting with, but was wary of everyone else. At one point a kid got up to speak. He was supposedly from Occupy Detroit, but he seemed to be advocating something a little more rowdy than a sit-in, so we kinda just let him " strain his greens" and sit down. Was he really from Occupy? or was he an agent provocateur ? I'll never know.


Am I on a List because of this? I have no idea.

I think it is safe to say ,however, that even a benign site like this draws a certain amount of data mining.

Ya might wanna think twice about getting your " Spartacus On " on the internet.

I don't know you; you don't know me....
