OLAASM and Psy-Ops

by Sue Basko


 

As reported earlier, social media going by the name of  "Occupy Los Angeles Anti Social Media" or, OLAASM and BlackBlocMedia have invaded Occupy LA in order to cause rifts between people and to try to cause the end of the Occupy Los Angeles group. 


OLAASM and BlackBlocMedia are apparently part of a larger psy-ops campaign against the Occupy movement that was launched nationally a couple weeks ago. This post is about OLAASM. OLAASM has a twitter, a Facebook, and a tumblr (website). Since last writing, I have found out a lot more. OLAASM is run by several people – among them are angry young, inexperienced newbie protesters. Also among them are also people who act as if they are undercover FBI  and agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)  trying to catch or draw in those angry protesters. By now, quite a few people know who is who.

HELLO EVERYONE,

I am a lawyer and I do trademark registrations.   I noticed this and so want to explain this to you.  

1) MAN CLAIMING OCCUPY LOS ANGELES.  A man named Jeffrey Pierce Henderson on November 22, 2011, filed a registration to try to claim the words "Occupy Los Angeles" as his own.  He is claiming the trademark as the name of a political organization. In other words, he is claiming he owns Occupy Los Angeles the org.

 There are three main forms of hijacking in protest.  First, a group may try to hijack your protest to use it for their own purposes, or to discredit you and your group.  Second, an organization or group may try to hijack a person and use them for their purposes.  Third, a website, facebook, or comments section may be hijacked by those trying to subtly undermine the purpose of your group or to stem the flow of useful communication or to discredit those contributing productively.
