Golf: Sick Mental Capitalist vs. The Planet

Saw a great documentary last night and was both horrified and inspired by it that I thought I would recommend itto as many as I can. It is about the environmental catastrophe caused by Donald Trump building his golf course in Aberdeenshire and the resistance of local residents.

They have a website for the film

www.youvebeentrumped.com

and you can contact the director and producer to arrange showings for community groups.

It resonates with the occupy mood. You can see Trump in action in the film to make yourselves aware just in case he really runs for president one day and you can learn about the

campaign against the course which is still active.

Ocupat un Banc/ Occupan otro Banco / Banks occupied in Barcelona

Ya son dos o tres los bancos ocupados por Barcelona en pocos dias.

Los indignad*s de La Floresta hacían una Cercavila por los Bancos de Sant Cugat, luego la Paella Popular

en la Plaza, y actuaron una pequeña drama que terminó..SORPRESA con la entrada en un banco anterior en La Plaza.

Participaron hasta 200 personas incluyendo l*s niñ*s. El Banc Indignat está cerca al Castillo CSO, ocupado hace 10 dias,

así que hay movimiento, también una cooperativa de consumo y varias cosas más

in EEenglish

Now there are I think 3 ex banks OCCUPIED around Barcelona. And on Friday a big crowd played cat and mouse with the baffled police, before successfully occupying another huge building as a ‘home for evicted mortgage defaulters’.

The latest Bank was taken in the La Floresta suburb. After a leafleting and graffiti march around local banks the local ‘Indignats’ cooked an enormous veggie Paella for up to 200 people. Finally they enacted a drama in the street which ended..SURPRISE in the occupation of an adjoining abandoned bank.(Still going strong). La Floresta is close to the new Occupied Castle Social Center (see post), begun just last week, so there’s plenty of local action, including a small consumers CoOp, an occupied community garden.. and more stuff.

#spanishrevolution, Taking the Streets Today..

The Spanish OCCUPY movement, 15M, is re-taking 100’s of streets and squares today, despite a ban, to protest the ZERO CHOICE elections. Yesterday 1000’s gathered in Madrid and elsewhere to protest arrests in Thursday’s students General Strike. Health Centers and Hospitals have recently been occupied, and the law has decided NOT TO EVICT buildings occupied after the massive Oct demos to house people evicted for mortgage arrears.…

El movimiento 15M está en plena acción, con centenares de actos , la toma Asamblearia de Plazas en todo el país por motivo de Las Elecciones, una mani de miles por los detenidos en la Huelga General Estudantil de Jueves 17 Nov, vigilias por la muerte del Sistema de Salud Pública, y varios occupaciónes más….

The right wing Partido Popular are expecting a majority, while offering only blood sweat and tears to ‘make us competitive’ and ‘restore market confidence’. (Really to protect their own fortunes, mostly inherited from the fascist 40 year occupation or gained by blatant corruption which is rife in the party.)

Spain: Farsa electoral/Both Parties to cut dole /health /schools..

” el PP cuando entre: bajar de inmediato el sueldo a los trabajadores públicos -otra vez; quizá un 10% en esta ocasión-, recortar aún más en Sanidad, Educación y, ay, en Obra Pública -porque Alemania y Francia están muy sensibilizadas con esos aeropuertos muchimillonarios sin pasajeros y otras estúpidas infraestructuras infrautilizadas hechas durante la época dorada del ladrillo. Habrá una subida del IVA y seguro una reducción generalizada de subvenciones y ayudas. Todo esto llevará a una mayor contracción económica y aún más paro, con lo que se recaudarán menos impuestos y se tendrá que pagar más en subsidios – en algún momento se hablará de reducir el subsidio de desempleo y el salario mínimo. Y eso en un contexto donde los productos básicos subirán de precio.”

Mientras el 15M está an acción, con centenares de actos , la toma Asamblearia de Plazas en todo el país por motivo de Las Elecciones, una mani de miles por los detenidos en la Huelga General Estudantil de Jueves 17 Nov, vigilias por la muerte del Sistema de Salud Pública, y varios occupaciónes.

Occupy Movement grows despite cops and media

occupy grows — Cops and media FAIL to crush OWS

The Occupy Wall Street movement, despite the efforts of the mass media to belittle it and the efforts of brutal police officers to scare it away, is growing and growing fast. There are a lot of stories from the past few days that we haven’t been able to cover. Check these out:
