On and for the record... I have already called and talked to Maude Campbell, and Anastasia Pantsios for more information on the Scenes desire to spin such a defamatory piece. I would like the assistance of the media team on how best to move fwd in addressing their obvious lie at wanting to cover us more often with Scene starting {as was the intent shared w/ me by Maude } to address more important issues we are successfully addressing on the whole as we fight .. then allow all pertinent info to be excluded and for it to devolve into THIS !
Although the few actual quotes in quotes , were pretty close to what I did say.. the context was blown out and spun out and included alot of information I NEVER shared obviously gleaned from another not included source and I am PISSED.I shook the whole way home and still feel nautious.
I certainly did not appreciate the truncated quote at the end ending with her snarky.. its already a dive.I do believe at the time of the discussion the wharehouse wasn't even moved into yet. I do believe the quote by me origionally ended that within the new space they can begin again the conversations that will forward transforming of our society and give us a home base we can better operate from to create the better world we envision.
I am truly Upset by this .. and apologize for EVER talking to her.. I mistakenly had some trust in her based on her first 2 pieces I was included in ,and after meeting her at the EPA hearing re: the gasification plant. These quotes were gleaned when I was not as careful as I could have been over a month ago now when she called me and I was in Denver, I worked hard to hold my tongue during a VERY emmotional time post finding out we lost the space and had abandoned the tent and my sons fathers death. yet NEVER forgot who owned her paper.
Regardless.. I have been overjoyed with the progress made in the last few weeks.. and watching us again find our voice,the ability to work together and courage...
I hope you don't lose faith or trust in me as mine has been restored in all of you...and I'm NOT going to let the attempts of obviously bias slander EVER sway my commitment to OCCUPY ! Scene magazine.... Bring it !
The quote about the pitchfork wasn't mine.. good one though..
