BBC that she participated in a conference call with officials from 18 cities about how to deal with the Occupy movement.As police forces violently crack down on protests across the United States and Europe, we look at the increasing influence of military technology on domestic police forces. Stephen Graham is professor of Cities and Society at Newcastle University in the U.K. His book is “Cities Under Siege: The New Military Urbanism.” “What the Occupy movement is so powerful at is demonstrating that by occupying public spaces around the world, and particularly these extremely symbolic public spaces, it’s reasserting that the city is the foundation space for democracy,” Graham says.

Radioactive Particles Are Spreading Across Europe and Nobody Knows Why,
Mystery cloud of dangerous iodine-131 over Europe is absolutely cause for concern — Certainly deserves more than 129 words by IAEA
[…] So how would [the postulated reasons of pharmaceutical companies or nuclear submarines or transportation of radioactive materials] explain contamination that spans hundreds and hundreds of miles?
The International Atomic Energy Agency says “the current trace levels of iodine-131 that have been measured do not pose a public health risk,” but we’ve heard that so many times before. It’s not a cause for panic, but an unexplained cloud of dangerous radioactivity is absolutely cause for concern. It certainly deserves more than 129 words on the IAEA’s website. [Reuters
El Tribunal Supremo ha anulado hoy la sentencia que condenó por torturas a cuatro guardias civiles y ha decretado su absolución,
Spanish court pardons with ridiculous arguments almost the only police ever condemned for torture, giving the green light to all future police crimes and showing once more that the High Court is still controlled by the fascist right-
¿Se acuerdan de aquellos dos etarras detenidos que acabaron en el hospital, uno de los cuales casi se muere? Un tribunal de Gipuzkoa juzgó y condenó por torturas a varios de los Guardias Civiles que les habían detenido e interrogado. Además de las evidencias palpables en sus propios cuerpos, hasta tres testigos presenciales diferentes tiraron por tierra la versión de los policías.
Pues para una vez que se consigue sentar en un banquillo a policías presuntamente torturadores y se les condena, la historia ha de terminar como ha de terminar. Con una absolución en el Tribunal Supremo. Si uds. entienden algo de Derecho, por la mera crónica del periódico que viene abajo podrán darse cuenta de la ridiculez de los argumentos invocados por el tribunal para tirar por tierra la sentencia condenatoria.
Y es que a partir de unos ciertos niveles hay un círculo rojo de impunidad y los agentes de la ley deben tener más que claro que el estado va a estar ahí para garantizar todas y cada una de sus actuaciones en defensa del poder, sean cuales sean éstas.

Police in New York have launched a pre-dawn operation to clear the Occupy Wall Street camp in Zuccotti Park.
The city mayor’s office said on Twitter that the protesters should “temporarily leave and remove tents and tarps” but could return once the park was clear.
Occupy Wall Street was set up in September to protests against economic inequality and had been followed by dozens of protests around the world.
A camp in Oakland, California was cleared overnight on Monday.
The New York Times said that as the operation in Zuccotti Park began at about 01:00 (06:00 GMT), police gave an announcement, saying: “The city has determined that the continued occupation of Zuccotti Park poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard.”
Leaflets were also handed out saying protesters would be allowed to return once the clearance had taken place, but not to bring camping equipment.
This means NO CAMPING and its impossible to stay on the NY streets in winter with no protection
The Eviction is similar to what happened in Barcelona 3 months ago when the Occupy Camp was cleared by brutal police by surprise at night, with the excuse of ‘cleaning’. On that occasion thousands of people took back the square the same day, and videos of police violence caused a surge in popular support.
Miles de personas se congratulan por la salida de Berlusconi, pese a que no ha sido relevado por la presión popular sino por la presion de los mercados.
Wild Celebrations for the EXIT or Burlesconi
En medio de tanto agobio, las personas han buscado un motivo por el cual alegrarse aunque sea por unas horas.
Ante la inminente renuncia de Silvio Berlusconi, se multiplican a esta hora en Roma los carteles, eslóganes e ironías contra el premier: “12 de noviembre, fiesta de la Liberación”, afirma una de las pancartas exhibidas por los manifestantes frente a Palazzo Grazioli, residencia privada del jefe del gobierno.
No muy lejos de allí, frente al Palacio del Quirinal -sede de la presidencia de la República-, una muchedumbre canta coros de “aleluya” acompañada por una pequeña orquesta, mientras se ven flamear banderas con el tricolor italiano.
Mientras la gente comenzaba a acercarse al lugar, un grupo de militantes “anti-Silvio” llamado grupo de “Resistencia musical permanente” distribuyó pancartas en las que invitaba “a todo quien quiera a acercarse al Quirinale para cantar y sonar el Aleluya”.
