STICKY: MARP IS THE 0% – a disclaimer blog explaining why MARP is a great source for information to distrust

HOW TO READ MARP

The Text on the Milton Avenue Revolutionary Press represents no one or no thing.

The MARP is a futile exercise in New Media, Alternative Blog Journalism, Cultural Production, Satire, and rendering things in specific terminology (ie. WORDS, WORDS, WORDS, WORDS) — with no express purpose except to be read in the internet-epoch of the “attention economy”.

When reading MARP, the most important thing is to understand is that it is not meant to be understood. We at the MARP are also committed to nothing more than publishing a small fragment of implausible interpretations.

This Text is Incomplete and Incompletable.

MARP nominated for SSMU Award

2012 official photo of mcgill principal heather munroe-blum

Earlier today, our editor-in-chief Karlos Marx received official email notice of the Milton Avenue Revolutionary Press’ nomination for SSMU Publication of the Year.

This would entail Karlos getting funky with heather at an all-you-can-drink gala — and maybe him spending his sixth evening sleeping over at the james admin building.

cute

cute office (click for HD... email me for 5.7MB version)

 

 

It remains unclear whether or not campus conservatives will protest the nomination, while it is certain that Karlos has again pragmatically looked forward while all others will expose themselves as reactionaries.

Best of luck to our competition, without you, there could be no growth.

Letter from McGill Professors to Admin, Colleagues, Students, Media — 27 March 2012

Reblogged from PSA McGill Unlimited General Strike:

In response to yesterday’s MRO sent by Jim Nicell, “Message re blocking of classes – Accès aux salles de cours bloqué”, we would like to challenge the McGill University Administration’s characterization of events on campus and the responses to them, in particular the summary banning of students from the McGill campus. There were several incidents on the McGill campus on 26 March in which a number of students who were peacefully expressing their views were singled out and barred from campus for 5 days under article 21a of the Code of Student Conduct.

MARP on strike along with Philosophy, Feminist Studies, and Art History & Communications Studies at McGill. No more critical theory — until we decide it is the proper route. The time for dialectics is over, now we act.

MARPLEAKS: Tons of Dox About The James McGill Royal Centre for The Advancement of Capital

The MARP is proud to announce that we are going to release a full payload of dox relating to Corporate Investments at the McGill Military-Money-Factory Complex.

hell yes

all i want is a bunch of industrial factories from which i can exploit surplus value to make more industrial factories... but right now i'm just rolling dice in an alley for cigarettes and more dice.

We understand that releasing these hundred-and-thirty pages will be very funny / divisive — but the MARP doesn’t give a fuck.

I hope the Admin cough on their cigars while laughing brandy through their noses at the fireplace.

The dox, as previously discussed, were released to our source through an Access-to-Information request, which was submitted to Secretary-General Stephen Strople by a brave comrade.

This person who bravely entered the James Administrative Security Centre through the front doors — armed with a sealed envelope and knowledge of the law.

After the requisite extraordinary delay period — which McGill abused to the very limit of what is allowed under the law — the dox were then provided to our source after they paid standard-rate profitable-print-fees to the McGill Informatics Control Board.

look at it

this is literally only a fraction of the beginning of the second set of scanned files. what could it mean?

While I am not educated in Bourgeois Economics, I can see what use these will be to campus radicals — now when one claims there is a deep connection between evil mining corporations and weapons manufacturers and McGill, there will be documents to prove it!
[Ed's note: This of course presumes that digital text is more highly regarded in the present age of the "information economy" as the materially present shrines to mining on campus were not enough.

Plus, professors/workers who wish to know how pensions are invested may find some clues!! [SPOILER: AMERICAN OIL, PIPELINES, BANKS, MINING]

Have fun! Check for your favourite banks (like RBC, where The HMB is a board member) or your favourite labour crushing Industrial Tin Producer Rio/Tinto Alcan (where The HMB is also a board member).

[Ed's note: PS email SSMU VP Internal Plumm Sauce and tell him to make MARP the SSMU publication of the year to MARP so Karlos Marx can go to an all-you-can-drink gala with Administrators!!

This is EXTRA hilarious because if you read the McGillLeaks you would see that the school keeps tabs on everyone who attends a dinner at the same place as HMB
(amirite Mr. Birks LOL!! :) )

MARP MRO: Green Bloc Demonstrators Trash Campus, Endanger Everyone

This is an urgent warning to all members of the McGill Industrial-Educational Community about the Costumed Gang that has been Terrorizing Montreal.

so much negativity

locate yourself inside the history of the conversation and be cognizant of the space you occupy, bro.

Tonight, in some sick twisted ritual of hedonism and sadism, groups of Radicals are roaming the entire Montreal area — most notably Crescent st, St. Laurent, and the Milton-Parc Community.

The Green Bloc protesters have issued no demands, but rather walk around in splinter cell groups performatively laughing as loud as possible — the one with the silliest hat is usually their leader.

the bravery

so brave

This risk of Societal Damage to the McGill Ghetto Community is enormous — possibly worse than Gentrification itself. The risk of property damage and biological hazards on the streets of Montreal has never been higher.

Be aware that the Green Bloc is opposed to all rationality and is much more likely to damage and flip a Smart Car than a Pig Cruiser.

These substandard students are likely going to be so hungover that they will boycott their classes through to the end of the semester, which is not covered by Academic Amnesty, thanks to the Admin!

We advise everyone stay inside and turn on So You Think You Can Dance.

EVERYTHING IS OK

BUZZPOST: MARPLEAKS en route??

MARP has access to documents which reveal corporate ties in the university.

proof

i am not an economist so i don't even understand the subtextual elements.

 

Our source has assured us of the authenticity of the documents

And also our legitimacy in publishing them as they were released to him through an Access to Information request ¿¿thus they are now his property and we can put them online??

(this part is still fuzzy)

STAY TUNED FOR MORE MARPLEAKS DETAILS!!

ANTI-POLICE BRUTALITY MARCH UPDATE

MARP has been really busy avoiding THE LAW along with other student-run publications.

SDgh uilzwgrzd

ziofgzdio; fugrk

Also, Karlos Marx has been in the streets more often facing off against the Pigs on the front lines.

Yesterday, 15 Mars, is the Annual International Day of Action Against Police Brutality and, like every other year, Montreal’s HARDEST anarchists were in the streets.

The government has also recently recommended that people DO NOT enter the streets and express their rage against the Pigs. What better excuse to confirm attendance?

Disobey the State. Get hit by the State. Learn your relation to the State.
And Capital.

On 15 Mar, the People assembled at St. Catherines at Berri-UQAM at 5 pm and took the streets.

Marching all around the city, expressing the Power of The People doing this:

FUCK LA POLICE

Yesterday’s march was easily one of the most successful in recent memory.
