The American Dream Film Occupy LSX criticizes British media Occupy LSX criticizes British media The Occupy London Stock Exchange movement has criticized the British media for downgrading the anti-capitalism demonstration after claiming only one out of ten protest camps were occupied during the nights. British media, which had formerly imposed a total blackout on the event, claimed that the majority of Occupy LSX protesters who are camped outside St Paul's Cathedral leave their tents at night and return to their “warm beds.” According to the Daily Mail, “footage from a thermal imaging camera” shot by a police helicopter showed that the camps were almost completely empty during the nights. “It suggests the majority of the 300 'defiant' protesters at the cathedral return home or to hotels after dark to sleep in warm beds,” the Daily Mail reported. The paper also quoted from Matthew Richardson, Corporation of London councillor, as saying, “It's incredible. “This is simply not the case. “We are ordinary people with jobs and families.
The Globalization of Protest - Joseph E. Stiglitz NEW YORK – The protest movement that began in Tunisia in January, subsequently spreading to Egypt, and then to Spain, has now become global, with the protests engulfing Wall Street and cities across America. Globalization and modern technology now enables social movements to transcend borders as rapidly as ideas can. And social protest has found fertile ground everywhere: a sense that the “system” has failed, and the conviction that even in a democracy, the electoral process will not set things right – at least not without strong pressure from the street. In May, I went to the site of the Tunisian protests; in July, I talked to Spain’s indignados; from there, I went to meet the young Egyptian revolutionaries in Cairo’s Tahrir Square; and, a few weeks ago, I talked with Occupy Wall Street protesters in New York. There is a common theme, expressed by the OWS movement in a simple phrase: “We are the 99%.” This is not to deny that some of the 1% have contributed a great deal.
We the Occupation- by Douglas Rushkoff (written for the human microphone at Zuccotti Park) I am humbled and honored to be amplified by your voices. You are not fighting against people, but against a machine. It was put in place over 500 years ago. They invented an operating system called central currency. The elite also invented software for that operating system. It is a program designed to extract value. We outsource our work, we outsource our savings, we outsource our borrowing, we outsource our investing – all instead of sourcing one another. This 13th Century, printing-press era operating system is incompatible with a 21st Century economy. Too many are mistaking this operating system – for the way things are. The Long Extraction is Over. The peer to peer society is back. They say that the Occupy Movement has no leadership. The rest of us are your followers. You are the classroom – we are the students You are the experiment – we are the results. You are the proposition – we are the resolution. If you can resist the cops.

De Marokkanen hebben vrijheid van meningsuiting en persvrijheid, maar ook dat is volgens '20 februari' schone schijn. De organisatie heeft niets tegen de monarchie op zich, zei Rabbae, maar wil scheiding van de drie machten.

Block The Bridge, Block The Bill - 67 QuikPix Dateline: Westminster Bridge, London, UK, 13:00-16:40, Sun 09 Oct 2011 - Enraged by the attempt by the Cameron-Clegg clique of millionaire politician pratts to wreck our National Health Service, today thousands of people from all over the UK heeded UK Uncut's Call to Direct Action and physically blockaded Westminster Bridge. On a sunny Sunday afternoon, just three days before a vote in the House of Lords which could scupper the Con-Dem government's NHS-wrecking bill, we symbolically Blocked The Bill by Blocking The Bridge between the law-makers in the Houses of Con-mens to the west and St Thomas Hospital to the east. At the request of UK Uncut, I'm uploading these photos as soon as possible, without the photo-editing and captioning that normally characterises my Indymedia Action Reports. So, letting the pix speak for themselves, here's what our bridge-blocking direct action looked like, including the direct democracy of Occupy London's General Assembly. Share-&-Enjoy, Up the Revolution,
Another world is possible Blogger David Dayen at Firedoglake hit the nail on the head last week: "The Occupy Wall Street protesters have done more to change the political dynamic in the country in a month than national Democrats have done in 30 years." If only the national Democrats had the wits or heart to notice or care. Yes, Obama has changed his tune and is pushing hard on his new-found jobs agenda. But it's ultimately as superficial and opportunistic as his entire 2008 campaign turned out to be, given how disconnected it remains from the rest of his overall neo-liberal agenda. The shift in political mood has been striking, as summarised recently by Think Progress blogger Zaid Jilani. Yet little has changed inside the Beltway. It's as if the Tea Party had been dominating the news since September 17, rather than Occupy Wall Street. The point is not that we should forget about balancing the budget. Another world is possible But as important as this may be, it is still a matter of political content, not context.

Article by @AmrBassiouny his post goes through how to prepare and protect yourself from attacks by the Central Security Forces (CSF) and the Military forces, as each uses different weapons and strategies. Chemical weaponry was first used in the United States in the Civil War at the siege of Charleston. Agent CR (Dibenzoxazepine) is a potent sensory irritant. CR causes eye pain and excessive tearing. CR appears to have a greater safety ratio than either CN or CS. CR medical treatment is largely palliative (to lessen the severity without cure), and induces reassurance, removal of contaminated clothing, and washing of eyes and skin. 1.
‘Money’ the perfect tool for Enslavement They have achieved this through their centrally controlled banks which they manipulate the flow and availability of money available to the public via interest rates. As today’s medium of exchange for goods and services, “Money” is what everyone is striving for in order to obtain the goods and services they require and demand. In today’s materialistic and superficial world and because of our indoctrination that having materialistic possessions will provide us eternal love and happiness, we believe that money is the only way out of our misery and problems. Thus most of us make that our first priority in our lives because all of us want to achieve a better life for ourselves. Through the media, the Corporations, Banks and the Government, they propose and influence what is socially acceptable or not and what is socially admirable or not. The Banks play a major role in further enslaving us by creating loans and charging us the public ridiculous amount of fees and interest. Sources :

Hawaiian singer surprises Obama summit with ‘Occupy’ song HONOLULU, Hawaii — A popular Hawaiian recording artist turned a top-security dinner of Pacific Rim leaders hosted by President Barack Obama into a subtle protest with a song in support of the “Occupy” movement. Makana, who goes by one name, was enlisted to play a luau, or Hawaiian feast, Saturday night for leaders assembled in Obama’s birthplace Honolulu for an annual summit that is formulating plans for a Pacific free-trade pact. But in the midst of the dinner on the resort strip Waikiki Beach, he pulled open his jacket to reveal a T-shirt that read “Occupy with Aloha,” using the Hawaiian word whose various meanings include love and peace. He then sang a marathon version of his new song “We Are The Many.” “I was pretty nervous. In fact I was terrified. “It was incredibly comical. Makana, who was born Matthew Swalinkavich, said the song prompted awkward stares from a few of those present but the Obamas appeared too absorbed with their guests to notice what was happening.
