Below is the official video of the Seattle City Council’s Select Committee on Seattle City Light’s Strategic Plan 2017-2022 held on July 14, 2016 chaired by Seattle’s Celebrity Socialist, Kshama Sawant. This meeting very fortunately featured the new council woman’s majority minus one member. To save time for all, three especially significant segments are concisely listed with descriptions and specific timepoints for your viewing pleasure. What you are about to see is Seattle City Council members and a CEO of Seattle City Light (SCL) – for the first time in memory – actually beginning to behave as statespersons, rather than as tools of the corporate state, and some Seattle “smart” meter truth activists and their unseen associates modeling for others how to use the new peaceful but powerful multifaceted, collaborative paradigm with which they also can pursue their causes successfully. Enjoy!
Four “smart” meter truth activists speak, as per usual in Seattle, in the four two-minute sound bytes allotted them before the council meeting begins. The rest of the two-hour meeting, as per usual, is reserved for the council members and various corporate representatives to hold forth. Note how the rudely computer-preoccupied council is sitting above and walled off from the public; note also how the corporate representatives have, literally, a place at the table on the dais near the council in fully attentive dialogue with them, in contrast to members of the public who sit silently beneath them at a distance – except for those, of course, so graciously being permitted by the rudely computer-preoccupied council members to speak before them in two-minute sound bytes. These four brief but telling activist speeches give clues as to the diverse but effective tactics being used for the past three years on this issue with a smugly self-described liberal, but actually patriarchal, authoritarian corporate city government. Timepoints 2:17-10:52
