Ray Manzarek (The doors) leaves this world after 74 years
Without Ray Manzarek, the Doors would never have existed. Many people don’t know that the Doors was actually made from members of two other bands; Rick and the Ravens (Ray and Jim) and the Psychedelic Rangers (Robby and John).
Ray was the connection between these two groups from his Transcendental mediation class.
Jim only became involved in music when Ray’s brothers band lost a band member just before a performance, their contract stated a specific number of musicians must be present, Jim was the ring in that saved the day, doing back up vocals and harmonica. During the early days of the Doors, it was Ray’s Japanese girlfriend Dorothy, that actually funded a lot of the bands expenses. Most of the Venice beach band practices were at Rays parents basement.
The Doors were one of the music bands of political protest, people that really wanted to question everything and encouraged others to do so.
The Doors were politically inconvenient at the wrong time for the establishment, Viet Nam war, US Peak Oil, Nixon, the Draft, LSD.
The Doors had frequent clashes with he establishment and the band dissolved amid a drawn out court case over the Miami incident.
Thank you Ray for being the sound track to dissent.
Somewhere, somehow, Ray And Jim have met again.
Travel well Ray.
Gippsland free store activist arrested and charged.
This morning in Sale Victoria the “Gippsland free store” was again shut down after complaint by a bank branch.
Victoria police scrambled to the bank where a free shop activist was alleged to have been writing on the footpath with chalk and handing out political campaign flyers.
“Screw the banks “
and
“Free Bradley Manning”
The free store activist was then taken to a police station and locked in a room, he was eventually charged with
“Writing on a structure”
The activist has stated he did not write on anything vertical and it was an unlawful arrest.
Writing political messages on the footpath with chalk is not destructive in anyway, it is not illegal and has always been a valid form of political expression. Australia’s behavior in relation to treatment of political activists and human rights in general has sent alarm bells ringing among civil liberties groups globally this federal election year.
Being able to express your political opinion is more important than ever before, even with social networking gimmicks such as facebook it is getting harder counter the dominance of the global media machine and corrupted governments.
Regardless of our ideals, its a human right to express them even with chalk on a footpath.
The first Gippsland free store:

Free shop under threat on 6 month anniversay
Nick Carson has just arrived at the Free shop to try to claim credit for all the work everyone else has done.
In the past he has claimed that he goes to the free shop but we believe this the first time he has actually shown up.
Teigan Evans has been keeping the seat warm for Nick Carson for quite a while, and has even welcomed well know agent provocateurs to the free shop in the past to threaten and harass Free shop volunteers
So on the 6 month anniversary of the free shop Nick Carson wants to take over.
So if you would like to ask Nick Carson why he hijacked all the media resources from Occupy Melbourne and to this day refused to give them back, go and ask him. He’s at the corner of Collins Street and Swanston Street, Melbourne 3000 Victoria, right now.
Update: like a serial con man he is gone in a flash.
And just to clarify for the future, Nick Carson is not an organizer for the march against Monsanto occurring next week, though it’s likely he will try to hijack that too.
Nick Carson can’t say he never knew Adam Bandt.

This could be the end of the freeshop. Demand answers from the hijackers if you want to save the free shop.

I’m sure this will upset someone, but after all you have to have a thick skin for politics.

Anatomy of a protest 21 10 2012
Every protest starts with declaring your right to protest, and if you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any rights.
A lot can be learned from this footage.
Firstly many people who go to protests aren’t aware of the preparation that goes into organizing the protest. Some of the organizing is done to prevent problems on the day and a certain amount has to be done on the spot.
When a protest is made public, the police, PSO’s and security guards will know you are coming, one of the first sentences of the conversation is about the start time of the protest. The beginning of this interaction is interesting. A PSO he implies the protestors have less rights the other people in society, PSO then starts trying to give his ‘just following orders’ interpretation of the law and is told his interpretation is not correct in law. This leads to a very long conversation.
Ultimately it’s best in one of these lengthy exchanges to break up the tension. That’s the reason for the East Richmond quote
(if you have been to East Richmond you’ll understand that reference).
Though the PSO was threatening to call the police and have the camera guy removed, the camera guy leaves without being asked by police or PSO’s at any stage.
The PSO may have been a bit green because he agreed that he understood several statements, the straw man guys will know what this means.
Fortunately the PSO didn’t get his face in the camera at close range so he will most likely only be recognized by close friends and associates.
He also claims the camera is making him nervous, why do you think that is so? If you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to hide.
In a giant leap of cognitive dissonance he claims to have been there before as a refugee, but doesn’t seem to recognize or respect the importance of political protest.
In the end another PSO drags the first PSO away before he admits to too many crimes and mostly stands on the sidelines.
That usually implies the PSO has been outmaneuvered in the conversation about the law, and is effectively digging a hole for himself/herself and needs to be rescued before he/she falls into it.
The PSO’s did try to block the mock coffin but after a bit of persistence and a good distraction the protesters get it to roughly where they wanted it.
it’s worth pointing out this footage is of two separate protests at the bottom left ( a silent vigil ) they can almost be seen but the PSO refuses to even recognize
them as a protest. They then all gravitate to the other other protest as soon as it arrives.
the Second protest (the main event essentially) was the funeral march for the political Death of Robert Doyle. Quite a spectacle with costumes and masks and a
cardboard coffin with a sound system playing a funeral dirge on a constant loop. Oh and the bells and a brazier, really detailed stuff. it’s a lot more effort and
planning than a few cardboard signs and takes significant amounts of time.
When protest groups join together it can be synergistic, symbiotic, parasitic or mutually destructive. Draw your own conclusions.
The other important thing to learn from this protest is most protests are peaceful and sometime performance art in them selves. Well you have to get some attention from a public they has been fed the same hype and spin for decades so it’s hard to get their attention unless you do something really strange. But in saying this you must have a message otherwise you are just wasting everyone’s time with attention seeking behavior.
Of course protest creates a reaction from those who you protest against.
Within hours of this event Robert Dolyle’s Melbourne city Council IP addresses were used to make biased edits to the Occupy Melbourne Wikipedia page removing the words peaceful to describe the protest.
Once this was discovered it created a significant scandal.
To this day there still has not been an explanation of who made the Wikipedia edits from MCC IP addresses.
