Le fantastique succès d’ « Occuper Wall Street »
L e mouvement « Occuper Wall Street » – car c’est aujourd’hui devenu un mouvement – est le plus important événement politique intervenu aux Etats-Unis depuis les soulèvements de 1968 dont il est un prolongement, sinon le descendant direct. Pourquoi ce mouvement a-t-il démarré aux Etats-Unis à ce moment-là, et pas trois jours, trois mois ou trois ans plus tôt ou plus tard ? Nous ne le saurons sans doute vraiment jamais.Depuis le 17 septembre dernier, des manifestants qui appellent leur mouvement "Occupy Wall Street" se relaient pour manifester dans le quartier des affaires, près de la bourse de New York. Ils protestent contre la responsabilité des banques et des financiers dans la crise économique actuelle. Le mouvement commence à trouver sa place dans les médias, américains et internationaux. Et aux Etats-Unis, de petits groupes informels étendent le mouvement à d'autres villes.

Noam Chomsky: My Response to #OccupyWallStreet
With #OccupyWallStreet, the linguist and political critic sees a reason for hope that lies closer to home. By **Noam Chomsky** When Guernica interviewed Noam Chomsky in 2009, it seemed notable that he was emphasizing “hopes and prospects.” This was the title of his book and to be hopeful, Professor Chomsky was having none of it when it came to the newly elected President Barack Obama. Aside from the credit he gave to protest movements in the sixties for electing a black president, much of the hope he saw in the 21st century world he had to find to the south, in Latin America, among the presidents of the “pink tide” movement there who initially fought as true populists and union leaders (Lula in Brazil), rose from poverty, and beat back privatization (Evo Morales in Bolivia).Dennis Kucinich and Chris Hedges on the 99 Percent Posted on Oct 6, 2011 This week on Truthdig Radio in collaboration with KPFK : Rep.
