Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Swept Up in the G20 Net

At the G20 in Toronto, not even protest monitors were exempt from the police's heavy hand.


The Canadian Civil Liberties Association's protest monitors were caught up in the mass arrests that marred the G20 in Toronto last year. Monitors say they witnessed a level of policy brutality they hadn't been expecting. The CCLA has been calling for a public inquiry ever since.
