“A revolting confession”
by Kevin Potvin
The Republic

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “This and the article following it were originally written in October of 2001, five weeks after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. It seemed prudent at that time to stuff it in the back of the drawer for when things lightened up again. But it seems that’s not going to happen.

I have a terrible confession to make. When I saw the first tower cascade down into that enormous plume of dust and paper, there was a little voice inside me that said, “Yeah!” When the second tower came down the same way, that little voice said, “Beautiful!” When the visage of the Pentagon appeared on the TV with a gaping and smoking hole in its side, that little voice had nearly taken me over, and I felt an urge to pump my fist in the air.

This is a revolting confession, I know. But it’s what happened.

I know lots of people were killed.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A 44-year-old bookstore owner, alternative-newspaper publisher and Green Party candidate is in hot water after telling a Canadian journal this week he “totally endorse[d]” an editorial he wrote four years ago praising the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

Kevin Potvin, founder and publisher of The Republic of East Vancouver, a federal Green Party of Canada candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway, wrote his thoughts on the attacks shortly after they happened but held off publishing them in his paper until urged on by friends who felt the same way.

Titling his editorial “A Revolting Confession,” Potvin wrote on Nov. 28, 2002:”

“Russian police beat, detain protesters”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MOSCOW - Riot police beat and detained protesters as thousands defied an official ban and attempted to stage a rally Saturday against President Vladimir Putin’s government, which opponents accuse of rolling back freedoms Russians have enjoyed since the end of Soviet communism.

A similar march planned for Sunday in St. Petersburg has also been banned by authorities.”
