Entre cincuenta y setenta personas permanecen a las puertas de la Bolsa de Barcelona tras haber pasado allí la noche para protestar contra lo que denominan “golpe de Estado” de los mercados financieros, sumándose a una iniciativa mundial.
Tras participar en una manifestación mltitudinaria convocada en el centro de la ciudad en defensa de los servicios públicos, decidirán si siguen concentrados, explicó a Efe un portavoz de los concentrados.
A lo largo del día de hoy, los jóvenes organizaron diferentes actividades y charlas, relacionadas con la crisis económica, el sistema político y las posibles medidas que se pueden adoptar.
A media tarde partirán hacia la céntrica plaza de Cataluña para participar en una manifestación convocada por el movimiento 15-M de los “indignados” y otros colectivos en defensa de los servicios públicos y de la sanidad, y en contra de los recortes decididos por la administración.
Bajo la excusa de que se trataba de una “manifestación ilegal” y que iban a proceder a realizar detenciones, la policía francesa rodeó la marcha y cargó contra mas de un centenar de personas que se encontraban en la Plza y marchando en el Bd St Germain
Según las peronas que se encontraban allí y que iban relatando como se desarrollaba la situación, la policía estaba muy agresiva y atacaba con porras, gas pimienta y gases lacrimógenos.
Se llevaron a cabo detenciones y hay personas heridas una en grave estado…
take the streets

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET started last Saturday, when 5,000 people descended on to the financial district of Lower Manhattan, held a people’s assembly and set up an encampment in Zuccotti Park on Liberty Street, a stone’s throw from Wall Street and a block from the Federal Reserve Bank of NewThree hundred spent the night, several hundred reinforcements arrived the next day and dug in for a long-term stay. Call in sick, invite your friends, hop on a bus or plane to New York City … join us! We’re now in DAY 4.
Early this morning at least five protesters were arrested by NYPD.
The first arrest was a protester who objected to the police removing a tarp that was protecting our media equipment from the rain. The police said that the tarp constituted a tent, in spite of it not being a habitat in any way. Police continued pressuring protesters with extralegal tactics, saying that a protester on a bullhorn was breaking a law. The protester refused to cease exercising his first amendment rights and was also arrested. Then the police began to indiscriminately attempt to arrest protesters, many of them unsheathed their batons, in spite of the fact that the protest remained peaceful.
The new residents of Liberty Square continued to serve as shining examples of law abiding behavior in spite of police harassment and the loose interpretation and selective enforcement of New York’s laws by the NYPD.
We’re still here. We intend to stay until we see movements toward real change in our country and the world. This is the third communiqué from the 99 percent.
Today, we occupied Wall Street from the heart of the Financial District. Starting at 8:00 AM, we began a march through the Wall Street area, rolling through the blocks around the New York Stock Exchange. At 9:30 AM, we rang our own “morning bell” to start a “people’s exchange,” which we brought back to Liberty Plaza. Two more marches occurred during the day around the Wall Street district, each drawing more supporters to us.
Hundreds of us have been occupying One Liberty Plaza, a park in the heart of the Wall Street district, since Saturday afternoon. We have marched on the Financial District, held a candlelight vigil to honor the fallen victims of Wall Street, and filled the plaza with song, dance, and spontaneous acts of liberation.
Food has been donated to the plaza from supporters all over the world. Online donations for pizza, falafels, and other food are coming in from supporters in Omaha, Madrid, Montreal, and other cities, and have exceeded $8,660 [admin: now $10,000]. (Link to donate: www.wepay.com/donate/99275)
On Saturday we held a general assembly, two thousand strong, based on a consensus-driven decision-making process. Decisions were made for the group to occupy Liberty Plaza in the Wall Street corridor, bedding down in sleeping bags and donated blankets. By 8:00 PM on Monday we still held the plaza, despite constant police presence.
Maybe the horrific Fukushima disaster will finally make the Japanese embrace renewable energy?. Has a major technological breakthrough in Japan created a new generation of wind turbines that finally destroy the claims by the nuclear lobby that renewables can’t match their dangerous and dirty radioactive power?
IF the designers are right, the implications are immense. If we were to be conservative and say that all it does is double the output this really could be the end of any of those arguments about the cost of nuclear actually being cheaper than renewables (Ask the workers and local people at Fukushima how they define cost) … Continue reading “Wind to blow away Nukes in Japan?”
Attempts to Occupy Wall Street have so far been blocked by a heavy police presence.
Details of arrests or injuries are still lacking
Protesters blocked in bid to ‘occupy’ Wall Street
Hundreds of people marched Saturday near Wall Street in New York in an attempt to occupy the heart of global finance to protest greed, corruption and budget cuts. Plans by protesters to turn Lower Manhattan into an “American Tahrir Square” was thwarted when police blocked all the streets near the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan. The demonstrators had planned to stake out Wall Street until their anger over a financial system they say favors the rich and powerful was heard.
“The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99 Percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the one percent,” said a statement on the website Occupy Wall Street.
By noon, about 700 people, many carrying backpacks and sleeping bags, had gathered near Wall Street to search for a place to camp amid a heavy police presence. The protesters who did arrive were full of zeal and righteous indignation.
“This is a protest against corporate greed and we come to Wall Street because Wall Street is the Ground Zero for corporate greed,” said Julia River Hitt, a 22-year-old philosophy student.
“We are here just to say we are fed up, we are not gonna take it anymore.”
The protesters gathered in Trinity Place, some some 1,000 feet (300 meters) from Wall Street, which they hope to turn into the US version of the famous square in Cairo that became the focal point of protests that led to the ouster of Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak in February. “No more corruption,” read one sign a demonstrator brandished. “Wall St Greed, New Yorkers Say Enough,” read another. “I will sleep here. A lot of us we will sleep here,” said Steven Taylor, 24 a protester who arrived equipped with a backpack and a sleeping bag.
Youths shared food and discussed the economic crisis in groups of 15 and 20. Others marched around the square.
Among the group was Javier Dorado, a law professor from Spain who compared the protesters with the mass “indignant” demonstrations in his country against high unemployment, welfare cuts and corruption. “This is a global phenomenon that is taking place in Europe and many countries,” Dorado said.
The protest came as the United States struggles to overcome an economic crisis marked by a huge budget deficit that has triggered cuts in the public service sector while unemployment hovers stubbornly above nine percent. “There’s a war in Libya, there’s a war in Afghanistan, there’s a war in Iraq and we have cuts in education, social programs,” said a masked protester who declined to be identified.

Asunto: Carta por el TIPNIS-Internacional-Inglés/castellano
Para: Campaña en Defensa del TIPNIS <isiborosecure@hotmail.com>Friends and Colleagues,
Since August 15, over 1,500 indigenous peoples in Bolivia -including men, women and children- have been marching in defense of their lives and their indigenous territory. The Bolivian government is determined to build a highway through the heart of the Isiboro Sécure National Park and Indigenous Territory (TIPNIS) an indigenous territory without consulting local indigenous communities. Determined to defend their territory and stop the highway, indigenous peoples are marching to La Paz with the hopes of immediate dialogue with the government to find an alternative solution to the highway going through the TIPNIS. For more background information see letters below, read article by Friends of Tipnis or go to CIDOB’s website for up daily updates.
As the march gets closer to La Paz, indigenous marches face threats and opposition. They have requested international support to keep their march and their demands alive
Thank you for your solidarity!
For the TIPNIS and Indigenous Rights,
Leila Salazar-Lopez
