# TACTICAL BRIEFING #18 | Adbusters Culturejammer Headquarters

> One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [202]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record. The map of the whole archive is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt, and any source [id] is at https://guptaoption.com/texts/<id>.md. This file's connections are below, then his passages.

We brought tents, hunkered down, held our assemblies, and lobbed a meme-bomb that continues to explode the world's imagination. Many of us have never felt so alive. We have fertilized the future with our revolutionary spirit ... and a thousand flowers will surely bloom in the coming Spring. But as winter approaches an ominous mood could set in ... hope thwarted is in danger of turning sour, patience exhausted becoming anger, militant nonviolence losing its allure. It isn't just the mainstream media that says things could get ugly. What shall we do to keep the magic alive? Here are a couple of emerging ideas: STRATEGY #1: We summon our strength, grit our teeth and hang in there through winter ... heroically we sleep in the snow ... we impress the world with our determination and guts ... and when the cops come, we put our bodies on the line and resist them nonviolently with everything we've got. STRATEGY #2: We declare "victory" and throw a party ... a festival ... a potlatch ... a jubilee ... a grand gesture to celebrate, commemorate, rejoice in how far we've come, the comrades we've made, the glorious days ahead. Imagine, on a Saturday yet to be announced, perhaps our movement's three month anniversary on December 17, in every #OCCUPY in the world, we reclaim the streets for a weekend of triumphant hilarity and joyous revelry. We dance like we've never danced before and invite the world to join us. Then we clean up, scale back and most of us go indoors while the die-hards hold the camps. We use the winter to brainstorm, network, build momentum so that we may emerge rejuvenated with fresh tactics, philosophies, and a myriad projects ready to rumble next Spring. Whatever we do, let's keep our revolutionary spirit alive ... let's never stop living without dead time. for the wild, Culture Jammers HQ Support + Share Help us spread the word.

We are the Patriots of the 21st century. We are the revolutionary thinkers. For true change you must be willing to brave anything and stand your ground and fight (figurativeley speaking). Revolution are made by those willing to throw themselves to the lions for the cause, not by those who go home bbecause its to cold. If we declare victory now we're only fooling ourselves, and then we will show that this protest was nothing more then a media stunt. We set a date and as God as my witness they may take my freedom but they can never take away the fire in the cause.

WTF was that? go toi hell occupy wall street. you blew it on your egos. Fukkin idiots. reply Keep going AND declare by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @11:47 pm Keep going AND declare victory. We should have a national day of celebration December 17th. Take a moment suspend your worries and to congratulate yourselves for being a part of something unprecedented in this country. Simultaneous protests and activism in every major US city. We have forever changed the conversation in this country. Thank you all. reply There is a call out for all by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @11:33 pm There is a call out for all occupiers to meet in DC on March 30th for a national occupation. This is a blog from the folks who have been occupying Freedom Plaza in DC since October 6th. http://october2011.org/blogs/kevin-zeese/national-occupation-washington-... reply Barbara Ehrenreich in The by iopsychictv on November 15 2011, @10:39 pm Barbara Ehrenreich in The Guardian said she had watched the protesters in New York and Los Angeles abandon their fixed positions and move out on a series of spontaneous actions, setting up union picket lines or as flash mobs. That, Ehrenreich said, could be the future for the Occupy protests, as the demonstrators are moved on from city centres. They might find a home on university campuses, or they might just keep moving. "I think the spirit is there. It's defiant. It's contagious," she said. "They are beginning to think of themselves as flying squadrons - flying squadrons for justice." http://idealorder.org reply

Of course, there would be violence. That's why you don't see Tea Party street demonstrations anymore in America. In a logical and well thought out move, the Tea Party has taken the movement to cyberspace, where they can touch more people and counter the so called Leftist mainstream media. This is one of the smartest moves by the Tea Party since their inception back in 2009. The interesting part of this seemingly well coordinated move was that it wasn't coordinated at all. It just happened. It seems that the clear minded Patriots of America came up with this strategic move individually on their own. The move was nothing short of brilliant and flies in the face of the Obama Administration's attempt to create a violent and disruptive environment in America. Their plan isn't working, and for that matter seems to be backfiring on them. The American people are fed up with the filthy, raping and robbing demonstrators that now represent the President, Lefty Congressmen and Mayors. The cause of this disruption to Americans is squarely being laid at the feet of Democrats. With three murders and deaths reported at Occupy sites over the past two days America has had it!!! Now, most Liberal mayors that are hosting these bizarre acts of outspoken insanity are turning on the demonstrators. They now say they will clean up the mess they've encouraged and will finally do their jobs of maintaining order and stability in our larger American cities. Time will tell, but in the meantime the Tea Party remains the undisputed champion of Democracy at work for a better America. They didn't need a leader, they didn't need a play book, they just did what was in their hearts and they're rapidly changing America for the better. There will never be a conflict between the Tea Party and Occupy simply because the Tea Party members are smart, love their country and wouldn't do anything to harm it. We can't say that about Occupy, can we? reply Ha Ha Ha! Who is this by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @01:59 am Ha Ha Ha!

Putting this incredible movement on the ice is not an option, let's beat them at their own play, let's beat the iron while it's hot, let's create an infrastructure, a parallel economy for the people by the people, not against them (the 1%) but for the rest of us, the 99%. The actual system is obsolete. We need an infrastructure of services that would serve the collectivity. The People's Bank, The People's Pharmacy, The People's Grocery Store, The People’s Insurance, The People’s Health Care, The People’s School, The People’s Telecoms etc.. Slowly but surely, more and more would rally into those new businesses and economic model, whose owners would not try to enslave you with high compound interests, sell you stuff coming from the other side of the world, making astronomical profits, eliminating countless local jobs, destroying social canvas while eradicating the last forests on Earth. We are the 99%, accountants, designers, engineers, finance people, lawyers, builders etc.. We are the 99%, we are the critical mass. They are nothing without us, they use our small savings, investing in everything we don't believe in, GMOs, tar sands, armies, and the list goes on and on. They finance their debts, their costly mistakes and bailouts at our expense. We the people...We want a change...We can do it... Just an idea Yves T reply THAT IDEA HAS ALREADY BEEN by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @07:29 pm THAT IDEA HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE...IT'S CALLED COMMUNISM. reply You smell like a tea-bagger! by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @03:13 am You smell like a tea-bagger! reply And you sound like a moron... by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @05:49 am And you sound like a moron... reply Palm Beach / South Florida by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @06:10 pm Palm Beach / South Florida would be an ideal place to take up winter occupation. Winter is quite mild, and as far as one-percenters go, it's full of them in the winter time. A shrine of excess. reply Why don't you just come out by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @05:51 am Why don't you just come out and say "Jews" when it is obviously what you mean? You are not fooling anyone. reply Claim the victory, enjoy what by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @04:40 pm Claim the victory, enjoy what has been achieved and live to jam another day when the price is not so great that nearly an automatic fail wins out.

Public opinion is slipping away. Take the high ground and attack from another direction. The attention of many, many people has been focused on the problem. That is a huge win. Take it, use it, build on it in new ways. Congrats on an amazing campaign. reply I suggest a push for a buy by postapocalyptic... on November 15 2011, @02:37 pm I suggest a push for a buy nothing X-mas as part of the victory celebration. Our ideology of greed and internalized sense of perpetual material dissatisfaction lies weakened. That ideology can change. What would be better a better time for change than the holiday season that has come to worship at the alter of consumerism. #Occupychristmas reply I'm beginning to see people by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @02:03 am I'm beginning to see people leaving ad hoc signs up to repeal the tax exemption for religion which probably nets various US religions about $1 trillion in tax and service savings per year. One sign says "Want to cure the deficit real fast - end the $1 trillion/yr in tax exemption for religion" Another says "Want to save $5-10,000 per year on your taxes - end the $1 trillion/yr in tax exemption for religion." Looks like people are starting to finally realize what their tax dollars are being used for. reply Yes Occupy Xmas could really by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @07:07 pm Yes Occupy Xmas could really be the thing. Think of the possibilities of throwing the contradictions of our consumer society into the highest relief. The perfect plan, to celebrate peace and giving and children which is what this movement, and of course Xmas, are really for. reply I think this is a really by postapocalyptic... on November 15 2011, @02:30 pm I think this is a really smart approach. In praxis, outdoor occupations cant survive in most of North America throughout the winter. maybe it's time to move out of the streets and into the parliament buildings. Keep up the good work. reply I really think you folks lost by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @01:52 pm I really think you folks lost public support on this one. What started as an idealistic plea to reign in the excesses of the top 1% degenerated into a series of nationally broadcast videos of foul-mouthed, ill-informed, dirty, smelly people who came to be known more for sexual assault, violence, drug use, and a lack of any reasonable or implementable plan. If this is the revolution I will take a pass, as will many others. reply Do you get payed by the word by Anonymous on November 15 2011, @07:11 pm Do you get payed by the word or

Just another worthless troll no doubt! If you are too ignorant to recognize the media game at hand than you are a fool of massive proportions! If you actually think in your own mind ( if you have one ) that the news is giving you factual information and showing you glimpses of the real people involved in this movement, you are a lost cause. This leads me to the conclusion that YOU are more than likely the RAPIST that you speak of. That YOU are most likely the drug addled SADIST that calls other human beings ( with legitimate, real concerns ) " foul-mouthed, ill-informed,dirty,smelly people". How the FUCK do you think SPIN works anyway? The media feeds ignorant, sadistic pricks like you all those things you fear and ta-da instant huge ASSHOLE! By the way, since I'm sure you did NOT visit any OCCUPY's...how the FUCK do you know how someone smells? Oh right, you are a complete waste of life and everything you see on tv or a computer is true right mr. handicapped? One more thing COWARD, why is it that you don't even use your name? Could it be that you are ASHAMED? ASHAMED of your FEAR, your WEAKNESS, your lack of empathy, compassion and love. I for one am so grateful that you "pass" on our revolution.......because YOU were NEVER invited. This letter was written by someone who cares about children and the world they live and will grow up in. I hope things like you murder eachother quickly when the HARD times come! Your value is less than nil. Here's to your end, I'm hoping it comes very SOON! reply Well, he got the foul mouthed by Anonymous on November 16 2011, @05:52 am Well, he got the foul mouthed part right for sure. reply It is funny how the occupy by chs2018 on November 15 2011, @02:26 pm It is funny how the occupy people look quite different depending on the broadcasts you watch.

Places worldwide! To stay together, share our ideas, let the 100% know. To stay strong, built infrastructure for the international revolution. Let the columnists laugh, laugh back and show your teeth! Occupy Frankfurt (Germany) stays with it's 100 tents right in the center and the financial heart of the city. So everybody has to notice!
