VANOC Clock Rocked - Ottawa

[Posted by Ottawa Anarchists to ottawa.indymedia.org, 10.03.2008]

After a month of waiting, we’ve finally struck the VANOC Clock counting down to the 2010 Corporate Circus. Sorry for the delay.

Last night, we finally got around to paint-bombing the hideous countdown clock that VANOC (Vancouver Organizing Committee) has blighted the streets with. We would have done it while they were unveiling the thing, but we decided it would be more conducive to our liberty to do it under cover of darkness, rather than in front of a large crowd, many cameras, and a line of pigs (police).

We fight the 2010 Olympics and the masterminds - VANOC - because of what the Games really are: social cleansing, colonialism, and environmental destruction. The 2010 Olympics hide these evil works (and the goal of corporate profit) behind the veil of “international friendship” and “athletic competition”. In solidarity with the poor and Indigenous peoples of Coast Salish and all who struggle against this Corporate Circus, we will disrupt and shut down every VANOC event - as we have so far - and relentlessly target its corporate co-conspirators.

Riot 2010!!!
