This is very interesting to me because the Black Block is closely tied to the ILWU and were supporting the union in their efforts against the Longview grain terminal. The Black Bloc also worked in concert with the ILWU at the Oakland OWS protest.
There used to be a lot of internet stuff, about the link between the Black Block and the ILWU, but when I looked last week, it had all disappeared. Last week, we had a bank robbery in Bellingham and the guy was dressed like one of the Black Block anarchists and I couldn’t resist pointing that out to the chagrin of the local OWS people.
I got a private email at home from a student at UW who’s parents I know that said there are ‘leaders’ in the BB that are set on copying the example of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn in robbing capitalists to finance their “war”.
