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:

Bank of Ideas

Welcome!

The Bank of Ideas is situated on Sun Street, Hackney in an abandoned office block purchased several years ago by the bank UBS. It is an enormous space complete with a 500-seater lecture hall.

It has been opened to the public for the non-monetary trade of ideas to help solve the pressing economic, social and envionmental problems of our time.

There is also room for community groups, youth clubs, nursuries and other public services that have lost their space due to Government spending cuts.

Artists, performers and creatives are welcome to come entertain and to help transform the space. We also encourage games, workshops and skillshares on anything from yoga to yahtzee.

The only prerequisite is that this space is not for financial transactions. Trade in ideas or skills, but no one should need to pay to take part in the Bank’s activities.

175 children murdered by Remote Controlled robots

Tarik,,drone victim — Tariq , 16, was murdered from Virginia by remote control.

Last Friday, I met a boy, just before he was assassinated by the CIA. Tariq Aziz was 16, a quiet young man from North Waziristan, who, like most teenagers, enjoyed soccer.

Seventy-two hours later, a Hellfire missile is believed to have killed him as he was travelling in a car to meet his aunt in Miran Shah, to take her home after her wedding. Killed with him was his 12-year-old cousin, Waheed Khan.

Over 2,300 people in Pakistan have been killed by such missiles carried by drone aircraft such as the Predator and the Reaper, and launched by remote control from Langley, Virginia.

Tariq and Waheed brought the known total of children killed in this way to 175, according to statistics maintained by the organisation I work for, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

The final order to kill is signed allegedly by Stephen Preston, the general counsel at the CIA headquarters. What evidence, I would like to know, does Mr Preston have against Tariq and Waheed? What right does he have to act as judge, jury and executioner of two teenage boys neither he nor his staff have ever met, let alone cross-examined, or given the opportunity to present witnesses?

It is not too late to call for a prosecution and trial of whoever pushed the button and the US government officials who gave the order: that is, Mr Preston and his boss, President Barack Obama.

STOP all psychotic religious/capitalist/nationalist States

placard — Iran has never attacked another country, the US, dozens.

Iran is obviously getting the bomb, but it has never yet attacked another country.(Unlike the US which has dozens of times). Right now Iran is controlled by religious nutters, just like Israel and the partly the US, who are threatening to BOMB its 78 million diverse and innocent people ‘into the stone age’. The people of Iran, Israel and the US should get together to smash the religious, capitalist and State institutions that threaten to burn them alive and blow their children to bits.

Pressured by the US, the UN’s atomic watchdog will say this week that Iran is developing nuclear arms .

The maniacs who control Israeli have said again they want to bomb Iran, which is surrounded by aggressive and psychotic Nuclear States..Israel, Pakistan, India and the good old USA.

voi — The media is packed with commercial glorification of WAR.

WHY WHY WHY?? this is MADNESS.

It seems the US financial empire is tottering, despite its efforts to boost its ‘military industry’ with multiple wars, causing

up to a million dead bodies, just in Iraq. When I googled images with the tag ‘insane war industry’ I came up instead with 1000’s of photos publicizing

wonderful electronic war games and films. THIS is just OBSCENE MANIPULATION

War is the Logic of Capital, it seems, the modern State will stop at nothing to hold onto power, and the religious state is just a horror story.

The 1% need a new war, the infiltration, assassinations and black ops have already begun.. It remains to be seen if Obama can stop them, or if a horrific incident can be blamed on the Iranis, sweeping the way clear on a tide of nationalist hysteria.

WAR POSTPONED??

Reading lots of articles it seems to me that no country dares yet to start the Irani war. All are playing a criminally dangerous game of ‘Chicken’ to satisfy their nationalist, capitalist and religious supporters, but not really desperate enough to take that crazy step, unless some sector jumps the gun…. LET’S HOPE That’s True..

Visit the Occupied Bank..Ocupat un Banc!

Why have we OCCUPIED a bank?
These are the ultimate expression of capitalism, one of the clearest signals that may be taking profits from the suffering of the majority of the population
Every day, in Spain there are approximately 300 evictions, where banks tend to be those responsible for the evictions of families for non-payment of mortgages. In Barcelona there are thousands of people homeless or living in extreme poverty. On the other hand, just in our neighborhood there are 800 empty flats, and as many other sites continues beyond the residents in the neighborhood.

Per què hem ocupat un banc?
Aquests són la màxima expressió del capitalisme, sent una de les senyals més evidents el fet que puguin estar traient beneficis del patiment de la majoria de la població. Cada dia a l’Estat espanyol hi ha aproximadament uns 300 desnonaments, on els bancs acostumen a ser els responsables dels desnonaments de les famílies per impagament de les hipoteques. A Barcelona hi ha milers de persones sense casa o vivint en extrema pobresa. Com a contrapartida, només en el nostre barri hi ha uns 800 pisos buits, i com a tants altres llocs es segueix fent fora els veïns i veïnes del barri.

What are we doing?
Gradually the activities and workshops are being made (kind of guitar, vegan eatery, etc.). Or are being started (salsa classes, Jiu-Jitsu, etc..), Many people have passed to fix the space or bring things that could be used (tables, food, books, etc.).. Come and find out what equipment is needed, what activities are being organised or simply to collaborate with the project in the bank and drop a question.

Què estem fent?
Poc a poc són més les activitats i tallers que s’estan realitzant (classe de guitarra, sopadors, etc.) o que estan en procés de començar (classes de salsa, jiu-jitsu, etc.), com molta és la gent que s’ha passat a arreglar l’espai o a portar coses que poguessin servir (taules, menjar, llibres, etc.). Si vols saber què material fa falta, quines activitats s’estan fent o simplement per col·laborar amb el projecte passa’t pel banc i pregunta.

If there is the eviction of the bank:
Concentration-time in front of the space.
-Demonstration at 20pm the same day in Revolution Square.
We can be found every day from 17h to 22h or 19h every Thursday at the assembly space.

Si es produís el desallotjament del banc:
-Concentració en el moment davant de l’espai.
-Manifestació a les 20h del mateix dia a plaça Revolució.

Ens pots trobar cada dia de 17h a 22h o cada dijous a les 19h a l’assemblea de l’espai.
VINE I PARTICIPA!ALLIBERANT ESPAIS, CONSTRUÏNT ALTERNATIVES!

Barcelona castle an Occupied Social Center

Long abandoned in 2000 the castle returned to build life as a squatted social center, soon evicted and left alone again into oblivion. Today we have liberated it..we have taken back the castle, and now open to create a meeting space, creation, culture, policy debate and dissent against speculation, and capitalism. We open call to come to build with us your passionate projects…

Desde hace un siglo el castillo encima de la montañas de les planes ha permanecido en desuso, abandonado y detoriorandose, pasando de propietario en propietario sin ninguna intencion visible ya que se inicio como sanatorio nunca llego a ser completado. Durante la guerra civil fue utilizado por la resistencia antifascista como hospital, donde tambien estubo internado George Orwell.

For a century the castle above the mountains of Les Planes has been in disuse, abandoned and detoriorating, from one owner to another without any visible intention as it was started as a sanatorium never to become complete. During the Civil Warit was used by the anti-fascist resistance as a hospital, where George Orwell was also interned.

Luego en el 2000 volvió tender vida como centro social okupado y desalojado para solo volver ser dejado en el olvido. Hoy dia lo hemos vuelto a liberar! hemos tomado el castillo, y ahora lo abrimos para crear un espacio de encuentro, de creacion, de cultura, de debate y politica de disidencia contra la especulacion, y el capitalismo. Hacemos un llamamiento abierto para venir a construir junto a nosotros; tus projectos, ven a pasiar, a conocer.
