6,000 Prisoners Resume Hunger Strike in California
Infoshop News (September 28, 2011) – People being imprisoned in California prisons have resumed a hunger strike which initially happened last July. The expansion of draconian state measures against Californians has led to overcrowding and other terrible conditions in California’s incarceration facilities.
Round 2, Day 3: Strike Spreads Rapidly, At least 6,000 prisoners resume strike
Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity – Today (9/28/11) lawyers & mediators of Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity’s mediation team confirm that at least 6,000 prisoners throughout CA are resuming the hunger strike that originally began in July. The CDCR refuses to release where prisoners are striking exactly, and how many prisoners are striking at each prison. We know that hundreds of prisoners in the General Population at Calipatria are joining the hunger strike for one week in solidarity with 200 hunger strikers in Calipatria’s two Administrative Segregation Units (Ad-Seg & ASU), bringing Calipatria’s numbers up to 500-1,000 hunger strikers.
On September 27th, 2011, we marched on the Financial District’s Luxury Night Out, where couples wore outfits that cost more than
we will ever make in a month and looked at cars that cost more than we will ever make in a year, afterward, they went back to one of their many houses that cost more than we will make in our lifetime.
Occupied Boston doesn’t need a bullhorn to have their voices heard. They have the people’s microphone.
So does Michael Moore, who addressed us tonight.
Occupied San Francisco grows larger every day.
Occupied Chicago was dispersed but not defeated. They will regroup and reoccupy.

a few prosper..billions suffer
Anyone with eyes open knows that the gangsterism of Wall Street — financial institutions generally — has caused severe damage to the people of the United States (and the world)
. And should also know that it has been doing so increasingly for over 30 years, as their power in the economy has radically increased, and with it their political power. That has set in motion a vicious cycle that has concentrated immense wealth, and with it political power, in a tiny sector of the population, a fraction of 1%, while the rest increasingly become what is sometimes called “a precariat” — seeking to survive in a precarious existence. They also carry out these ugly activities with almost complete impunity — not only too big to fail, but also “too big to jail.”
The courageous and honorable protests underway in Wall Street should serve to bring this calamity to public attention, and to lead to dedicated efforts to overcome it and set the society on a more healthy course.
“Aquest matí a les 8 del mati 5 furgonetes de antidisturbis i Guardia Urbana han aparegut davant del número 28 del c/Marin per desallotjar una familia que vivia des de feia anys en un pis okupat per desesperació. Sense previ avís judicial, sense respectar el dret a defensar-se han desallotjat la familia amb una violència inaudita. 500×20 creu que les poders fàctics estan generalitzant el desnonament sense avís per evitar la defensa que fan de les famílies les organitzacions pel dret a l’habitatge.

“Although classified as a potentially hazardous object, 2005 YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over at least the next 100 years, according to NASA. However, this will be the closest approach to date by an object this large that we know about in advance and an event of this type will not happen again until 2028
The 1300-foot-wide (400 metres) asteroid, which is more than one and a half times the length of a soccer pitch, will pass within 0.85 lunar distances of the Earth on November 8, 2011.
Discovered on December 28, 2005 by Robert McMillan of the Spacewatch Program near Tucson, Arizona, 2005 YU55 is believed to be a very dark, nearly spherical object.
NASA says it will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. EDT (6 p.m. GMT) on Thursday 29 Sept 2011 to ‘reveal near-Earth asteroid findings ‘.
The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the ESA is planning to fire an ‘impactor’ satellite into a ‘test’ asteroid in 2015 to see if the object’s trajectory can be altered.
In late June 2011, earth experienced one of its closest encounters with an asteroid in recent years. But as NASA indicated in the days ahead of the ‘cosmic close call’, the encounter was so close that Earth’s gravity sharply altered the asteroid’s trajectory and prevented the space rock from impacting the planet.
