Chaîne de TheRealNews. La police de Los Angeles temporise face aux Indignés. LOS ANGELES, 28 novembre (Reuters) - La police de Los Angeles a pris position lundi autour de centaines de militants anti-Wall Street qui campent depuis deux mois devant l'hôtel de ville de la métropole californienne sans toutefois les contraindre à évacuer les lieux.
Quelque 2.000 contestataires sont toujours présents sur place après une matinée marquée par un face à face tendu avec la police. Quatre manifestants ont été arrêtés pour avoir participé à une assemblée illégale. Le maire de Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, avait demandé aux manifestants de quitter les lieux lundi à 12h01 (20h01 GMT). Mais deux heures après la fin de l'heure limite, des officiers de la police ont dit qu'ils laisseraient les militants anti-Wall Street rester sur place jusqu'à la tombée de la nuit. Des dizaines d'"indignés" ont respecté l'ordre d'évacuation, mais de nombreuses tentes sont toujours dressées. Occupy: the fault line between St Paul's and the Corporation of London.

In the twilight, the huddle of hunched figures and grubby smiles wince at the hegemony of global finance as the chocolate digestives are handed out. I just came the one time a couple of weeks back to say a few words in Muslim clerical solidarity with my colleague, Canon Giles Fraser, and his principled resignation from St Paul's – and I'm still here. Occupy LA protesters defy midnight deadline to clear camp. Police withdrew from the Occupy camp early on Monday morning.
Photograph: David Mcnew/Reuters Occupy LA protesters have defied a midnight deadline set by the city's mayor for them to clear their encampment around City Hall. After surrounding the camp for six hours, police withdrew early on Monday morning, prompting celebrations from the protesters, who chanted: "We won, we won. " The stand-off remained relatively peaceful through the night, with only four arrests, as police cleared surrounding streets for morning rush-hour traffic. A small scuffle between protesters and police prompted officers to take action and led three young men out of the crowd and into custody. Hundreds of protesters at the Occupy site remained defiant yet relatively peaceful, with police officials calling off plans to clear the park at the scheduled 12.01am time.
Breaking Through. When New York City’s mayor ordered an assault this week on Liberty Square, the story played like a script only the 1% could write: Michael Bloomberg, a Wall Street media baron worth $18 billion, who spent $50 million of his own money and rewrote the law to win a third term in office, sent in a thousand cops to trash a library, close a kitchen, shut down an occupation and arrest hundreds in the name of “unsanitary” conditions in the park. But the tactics behind the scenes are more complicated. Preceding the NYPD’s raid on Occupy Wall Street, 18 mayors held a conference call to “discuss” the national movement. In the days that followed, police attacks on Seattle, Portland, Denver, Atlanta, Salt Lake and other cities went into effect. How Zuccotti Park Became Zuccotti Prison: Creeping American Police State.

Senators Demand the Military Lock Up American Citizens in a “Battlefield” They Define as Being Right Outside Your Window. UPDATE III: The Senate rejected the Udall amendment 38-60.
While nearly all Americans head to family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, the Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself. Senators need to hear from you, on whether you think your front yard is part of a “battlefield” and if any president can send the military anywhere in the world to imprison civilians without charge or trial.
