Re Coordinated Occupy Bigfoot Crackdowns

[Mark Kohut]

Yes, and with deeper intertwining, I guess.....prophetic there or just "realistically true"? 

The future is a boot in the face forever---1984

And when I read of some Occupy places haveing to deal with 'infiltrators' who bring/want drugs, steal,
are internally violent or 'beyond' the General Assembly's wishes, I think of the inherent vice of some
that clogs the beach freedoms.......

Much of what you say here is true of Vineland as well, no?
