Occupy L.A.: State voters agree with protest issues, poll says
A majority of California voters say they agree with the underlying reasons for the Occupy protests, but a smaller number say they identify with the protesters, according to Field Poll results released Tuesday. In the past two months, protesters have set up camp in cities across the United States to protest income inequality and corporate influence in government. The latest Field Poll results show that 58% of California voters surveyed agreed with the reasons for the protests but only 46% said they personally identify a lot or somewhat with the movement.
Occupy LA is the latest occupation to face eviction, with the mayor's office ordering the protesters gone by midnight (i.e., hours ago). As we've seen in other cities, many of the protesters refused to leave. Luckily, the police refrained from inflicting serious violence, and the occupiers have been allowed to stay, for the moment.

More Than 700k Have Acted: Let's Finish Strong It's been a show of force like no other: More than 700k anti-censorship contacts have been delivered to Congress so far this week, as the Blacklsit Bill gets heard in committee. What an amazing day -- let's top it off with one more push. Please send one more message to Congress -- even if you already have -- touting our numbers and telling them they need to back down.

'Laboratorio social'. Así han llamado varios indignados del 15M al edificio del Laboratorio Agropecuario, propiedad de la Junta de Castilla y León, que han ocupado a última hora de la noche de este domingo , después de asistir a la manifestación convocada por este movimiento y que ha reunido a unas 400 personas. El objetivo de esta ocupación es protestar por el dispendio público, p uesto que la Junta lo ha dejado sin uso desde hace tres años , según explican desde este movimiento social que propugna un cambio radical en la política española para conseguir que se acaben algunos de los problemas endémicos de la sociedad del país. El edificio será utilizado a partir de ahora para organizar las reuniones y asambleas que hasta el momento se habían celebrado en las plazas públicas , en especial en Botines, donde se ha erigido como núcleo clave del movimiento desde que estallara el 15 de mayo, y donde se estableció la acampada que se prolongó más allá de las elecciones municipales.

Don't Censor Censorship Opponents: Let Us Testify! Irony Alert: The House is holding hearings on sweeping Internet censorship legislation this week -- and it's censoring the opposition! The bill is backed by Hollywood, Big Pharma, and the Chamber of Commerce, and all of them are going to get to testify at the hearing. But the bill's opponents -- tech companies, free speech and human rights activists, and hundreds of thousands of Internet users -- won't have a voice.

Georgia Militiamen Arrested in Major Domestic Terror Plot
Four members of an unnamed North Georgia militia planned to attack cities including Atlanta with deadly ricin, bomb federal buildings and murder law enforcement officials and others, according to charges leveled yesterday. The four elderly men were arrested after a lengthy investigation that began last March, when a confidential informant began secretly recording the group’s conversations. The man described as the group’s leader, 73-year-old Frederick Thomas, was recorded at a meeting that month allegedly saying, “There’s no way for us, as militiamen, to save this country, to save Georgia, without doing something that’s highly illegal — murder. … When it comes to saving the Constitution, that means some people gotta die.”
Experiencia islandesa demuestra que es mejor dejar quebrar los bancos
Tres años después del colapso de los bancos islandeses , la economía de la isla se recupera y se erige como una prueba de que los gobiernos, en lugar de rescatar a estas entidades, deberían dejarlas quebrar y proteger a los contribuyentes, según apuntan analistas. En octubre de 2008, los tres grandes bancos islandeses fueron barridos por su exposición a la crisis de las hipotecas " subprime ", que días antes se cobró su mayor víctima con el banco estadounidense de inversiones Lehman Brothers. El gobierno de Reikiavik los dejó quebrar y pidió un crédito de 2.250 millones de dólares al Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI). Al cabo de tres años de duras medidas de austeridad, la economía de la isla , poblada por poco más de 300.000 habitantes, muestra señales de recuperación.Tim Pool doesn’t have a fancy camera, high-tech equipment or a news organization to back him. But like most of us, he has a cell phone. A 25-year-old protester from Chicago who came to New York’s Zuccotti Park in mid-September to join the Occupy Wall Street movement, Pool was one of the thousands evicted from their makeshift home early Tuesday as police raided the site in full riot gear. As members of the media poured downtown, many were denied access to the park, meaning much of the live coverage and updates would have to come from the protesters themselves. Around 1:30 am, Pool switched on the camera of his Samsung Galaxy S II, and began streaming live from Ustream, broadcasting the raid and mass arrests live online to more than 100,000 viewers. ”We’ve seen one of the scariest, heart-racing nights,” he told viewers. “The eviction of Zuccotti Park and it’s really bringing everyone together.”
