dear friends, new friends, old friends, unknown friends, close friends,
distant friends, potential friends, an everyone else
this is marc kelly (hi)
(if at any point you want me to stop talking, the delete button located
either near the top or at the bottom)
i hope it's okay i found my way into your inbox again
today is April 7th, 2010, and i am sending this message out to you and to
everyone because, after tomorrow, i may not be able to speak to anyone on
campus again because the University is sending me to prison
<> note before reading further: i never payed attention in english class
very much and i always got my friends to tell me what happened in the books
we were suppose to read and instead of writing essays i doodled funny
pictures on the pages and got bad grades and i never really learned how to
write properly so sorry for all the the language inconsistency i hope there
is not too much grammatical non-conformity for easy readability this is an
emergency and i am writing with urgency so please don't hate on me for
speaking to the whole community simultaneously without a university degree
<>
what i am trying to say is: this message could be the last you ever hear
from me
the last i have
never met
you
never
talked
laughed
pondered
or explored campus with you (the only thing what else are we here to do?)
the last of our separately diverging paths
decided for
by neither me nor you
.
so most of you don't know me, though it is possible a few of you may have
heard a thing or two about me already, most likely through stories and tales
passed along from mouth to ear, spread wide and near, printed on newspaper
always never clear, facts changing with each iteration by those who can't
help not knowing how they participated to create a world of false fear and
mass stupidity
*This Thursday @ 1pm, inside Tabaret Hall, I will speak publicly.
Then: I will be taken to jail by the University. *
*See how they threaten me?*

*To: Marc Kelly <marckelly.uottawa@gmail.com>*
*Mr. Kelly,*
*Please provide me with the time and date of your appointment so that I can
notify my staff and let me know on which floor your doctor’s office is
located at the Health Services clinic. This is only considered a temporary
access for medical reasons. Access will only be allowed to this specific
building (100 Marie Curie) and you will be requested to leave campus once
your appointment with your doctor is over with. If you are seen anywhere
else on campus, you will be subject to arrest for breach of trespass, and
other police action. *
*Claude Giroux**
Director, Protectron Services*
but if this message fails to reach all of you, probably intercepted and
censored by the University, I could stay stuck in a prison cell until early
next year after the court case is all cleared. so this is my last chance to
explain, in as much detail as i can, why I need each and every one of you to
come out and stand by me on thursday
*i need each and every one of you to help protect me from the bizzaro
university!
if you came out tomorrow, i'd listen to everything you have to say to me
too!*
i love this world.
i love our society.
i love you if you are my friend.
i love you if you are my enemy
(but I do not love this country)

*On May 14th, 2009, three Ottawa Police Officers were sent to my home
apartment by the University. They entered without a warrant, and they
arrested me while I was sleeping. I was charged under the Criminal Code of
Canada for "speaking directly to" the President of the University, because I
asked him a question on March 4th, 2009, during the Q & A of his inaugural
lecture series.

I DO NOT THINK IT IS OKAY THAT IN THIS COUNTRY A STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF OTTAWA CAN BE ARRESTED BY THE POLICE AND PUT IN JAIL FOR *ASKING A
QUESTION*
*aren't we not always taught by our professors, "there are no stupid
questions" ?*
if illegal questions exist, does that mean there are indeed stupid questions
too?
if that's true, then what's the difference between an illegal question and a
stupid question?
is a stupid question also an illegal question, and is an illegal question
always a stupid question?
in the year 2013, could the President of the University be a student?
well thatz all I have to say until the police come to arrest me for talking
publicly on campus this thursday (that's tomorrow!)
have a nice wednesday everybody

in a democracy. A totalitarian state simply enunciates official doctrine --
clearly, explicity. Internally, one can think what one likes, but one can
only express opposition at one's peril.>>*
