Its all in good fun. Im sure he knew what I meant. I'm always open to constructive criticism. I'm a better person because of it. While it was fun playing with Pimp, that kind of negativity is not healthy I plonked him to avoid future distractions. Now it's time to win a golden ticket and start planning :D

It must be disillusioning seeing page after page go by on a thread you start, but being forced to pretend to not see the posts just to save face for a crowd who doesn't care.

But...
Given all the hoopla over the new ticket lottery, let's send a message to 'the man' that we're not going to take it-- excessive consumerism is against playa ideals--if one cannot afford a ticket, they should get to go anyway, right? Maybe stage a massive sit-in on the access road demanding our rights! Corporate greed rules BMORG. Power to the people! Let the BM elites know we 99% are fed up!

that will show 'em...

So I was just made aware of threats of a felonious nature against our camp. Some of you may be surprised to find that it comes from a Black Rock Ranger. The threat is made in one of the ticket threads by Badger. Seems he is going to collude with LEO to create/fabricate an incident with our camp. By bringing up corrupt law enforcement he apparently knows we are assuming that that the Rangers may plant drugs or somesuch in an attempt to get campmates falsely arrested. Legal counsel has been advised and screenshots have been taken of Badgers post. Due to the criminal nature of the post and threats contained in it law enforment will be contacted tomorrow to protect ourselves from this out of control Black Rock Ranger and whatever corrupt law enforcement officers the Black Rock Rangers are planning on colluding with. We have Badger dox so no worries there but this brings up a serious question. Can we trust he Black Rock Rangers anymore? With such a senior veteran ranger making threats to work with police to create a false case against participants it paints a scary picture. The Black Rock Rangers used to be the most respected group of people. Now with this crminal activity coming to light along with support of theft of private property I think we need to seriously consider as a community if we even want people like the Rangers in our community.

pg 1 post 9 counting from bottom of the page upward.

I just found out about this particular threat today and am going to be busy most of tomorrow handling it. Just got word from a contact in Anon that we have their support in stopping this attempt at censorship and a heartfelt promise that if the threat is acted on there will be justice. I hate contacting law enforcement but since the threat involves collusion with law enforcement we have to protect our campmates.

Too bad this couldnt just be solved in the thunderdome sans foam covered weapons.

Badger, the Black Rock Ranger, has not posted in any ticket thread that I remember. His alt has, but I don't remember his threatening anyone. And you only just found out about this? you've muttering about it what seems like weeks. I don't know what's happening, but these repeated yet vague accusations on the open board don't really make me feel like there's any actual danger.

Badger (who is a Ranger), BBadger (who is not, and who's post you are alluding to) and Capjbadger (who is also not a Ranger, and conveniently hasn't been posting lately) are three separate people who just happen to share a pretty common playa nickname (almost "Raven" common)

BBadger has no relationship with the Rangers that I know of, his original post was a snarky one-liner made back in November on an unrelated topic to anything about your camp and there have been no threats made that I can see.

You were just made aware of snarky comments you had previously seen in the other thread. Not only had you seen the thread, but you'd made replies in the thread months ago, when it was actually active. What's new is your re-reading the months-old thread and getting all bent out of shape over it.

lets not forget that he has apparently missed the joke, or it intentionally went over the pimps head.

(or he thinks the jokes on us and is attempting a troll....but he actually really sucks at trolling.. ..turning things into character assassinations aint trolling, yo)

the occupy people claimed (you can see it in the occupy thread in open discussion here.. and in the media, heck, bill maher even jokes about it in last weeks show) that all of the 'bad' stuff that happened (like throwing chairs through windows and flag burnings) were events created by police collaborators to give the occupy people a bad name and justify their removal.


that post is no more a threat to the pimp than the pimps ignorance of what it meant is a threat to his credibility here.

moving along!!





the FIRST comment on a news post about the occupy movement in oakland a bit over a week ago even references this police collusion conspiracy BS:

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/jan/2 ... -protests/

Police Departments' Collusion in Defense of 1%: Who's the Organization Coordinating Those Crackdown Calls?...a little-known but influential private membership based organization has placed itself at the center of advising and coordinating the crackdown on the encampments. The Police Executive Research Forum, an international non-governmental organization with ties to law enforcement and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, has been coordinating conference calls with major metropolitan mayors and police chiefs to advise them on policing matters and discuss response to the Occupy movement.

Okay, I haven't said anything about this before, but how much credibility does someone with the word "pimp" in his name have anyway?

Hmm. Jason Bourne, er, BlackRockCityPimp reports his location as "Tent".

Using my contacts with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency we have four possibilities --

Tent (aka Lent), Netherlands, north of Nijmegen.
Tent, India, SW of New Delhi.
Tent, New Zealand, east of Paraparaumu on the North Island.
Tent, South Africa, west of Durban on the eastern Lesotho border.

I recommend Threat Level Code 48, with the Netherlands as the most likely spot for our target to obtain the wacky weed he's obviously overindulged in.

Cuz the Rangers are THE MAN. They PLANT DRUGS to ENTRAP BURNERS.

Please...

Will the anarchist contingent please return to your Black Blocs, and after you're done smashing Starbucks windows, go back to writing self congratulatory blogs about how you've scored major blows against neo-liberalism and ranting against each other to "check your privilege."

Thanks for playing.
