International Callout for Direct Action

“Our struggles come from before 2010 and will reach beyond!”

This is a call out for direct action and solidarity. At the end of
October, the Olympic Torch will come from Greece to Canada.

As we've seen here in BC, the true project of the Olympics is the
enhancement of capitalism, colonization and social control. New
surveillance infrastructure and the training of police and security
forces in counter-insurgency here will be exported around the world.
The Olympics effects us all, the world over.

Direct action, disruptions or confrontations generally and against the
torch relay can be part of a strategy to discourage economic
development, exploitation and destruction of people and the land in
"British Columbia.”

Between October 29-30th, (and beyond) we welcome acts of solidarity in
the form of whatever makes the most sense for your context.

From everywhere in the world let these acts strengthen our common rebellion!

Information about the Torch Relay:

A convergence is scheduled in Victoria, British Columbia to counter
the launch of the cross-Canada torch relay.

The 2010 Olympic Flame will be lit in Greece on Oct. 22, 2009 and
handed over to a representative of Canada, in Athens on Oct. 29 before
coming to Canada - (if it makes it that far!).

The torch relay of modern times which transports the flame from Greece
to the various designated sites of the games had no ancient precedent.
The torch was introduced at the Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics to
spread the spirit of fascism throughout Europe. Still, the torch is a
symbol to spread the ideologies of nationalism, colonization and
economic progress.

The cross Canada Olympic torch relay begins in Victoria BC, Coast
Salish Territory, the morning of October 30. It will spend five days
on Vancouver Island before flying to the Yukon, crossing the Northern
region of the country to the Atlantic coast, then proceed westward
across all provinces, to arrive in Vancouver for the opening
ceremonies on Feb. 12, 2010. The relay will last 106 days and cover
45,000 km. It will pass through 1,000 communities.
