The Black Bloc has always had its own agenda.
Also, whether wittingly or unwittingly, the actions of the Black Bloc are a gift for those who would portray protest as violent, thuggish and destructive of life, limb and - heaven forbid - property.
Interesting the timing of all of this. I agree with you Jan. I posted the piece on the main Occupy site and just moments ago two [count them two - in tag-team] provocaterur/trolls were posting objections to Hedges' arguements.....I called them out as paid agents.....and they reacted as such would do.....they were actually defending the black bloc in posts... Some things never change. Several livestreamers have been attacked lately during Occupy demos - even their equitment stolen or they bodily harmed or threatened by the Black bloc [provocateurs mostly, with a few hanger-on idiots who like violence].:dancingman:
