Spring 2012 Note:
During Occupy Boston's DoWe Square era I was interviewed by actor/activist Danny Bryck, who transcribed the interview and then performed it at the old Piano Factory Theater in the South End. The performance was video taped. Here is the link of Danny Bryck performing performing Brian Joyce: http://occupythecivilians.tumblr.com/

| October 24, 2011 Why I've left Occupy Boston 1) I lost my Free Speech once again to the ever required God Damn American need for security. Different venue. Different security service. Same old American Mental Illness. I'm not interested in giving a "blow-by-blow". Those who know me know that I have a thorough record on issues of Free Speech. Those who don't know me should know that I consider myself "Human Wildlife" and I don't take kindly to being silenced by a gang of straight-jacket minds. I can't recall ever trying to silence anyone else. I can't imagine what motivates anyone to become an authority-gang member for the purpose of silencing another person. The mentality of the Security Mind cannot seem to tolerate the energy of real unamplified free speech. Being, at the time, up against a speaker with an amplified microphone -- WHY, how dare my voice violate the sanctity of the microphone? Did I mention that one of the gang members was the New England Patriots jersey? 2) Despite being outdoors, Occupy Boston lacks sufficient SOLAR interest to keep me interested. Specifically, the most SOLAR appropriate location at the Square is occupied by the most SOLAR inappropriate and most difficult to move tent. The issue of SOLAR in this region is really bigger than me and bigger than Occupy Boston. I live in a region of SOLAR DUNCES -- Those Old Farts in Their Old Houses. But let not the region take my insults personally: 3) In the future I intend to devote my thoughts to the concerns of wild plants and animals, which concerns are, if I may be so redundant, Anti-Humanity. 4) Generally, I don't want to assign blame. Had I been a less limited person I might have been more receptive to solving problems before they reached the point of my disinterest. Brian Joyce |
