Occupy Wall St spreading Day 11.

A Message From Occupied Wall Street (Day Eleven)

Posted Sept. 28, 2011, 9:53 a.m. EST by

This is the eleventh communiqué from the 99 percent. We are occupying Wall Street. We will not be moved.

On September 27th, 2011, many friends participated in our democratic process.

General Assemblies are forming country-wide, worldwide. We are everywhere.

#occupyboston (Click Here for the flyer)

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.

So far at least 52 cities in America are occupied or organizing. We span at least three continents.

Add your home. Make your voice heard.

We are growing. Block by block – city by city. We will see change in this country, in this world.

It will happen sooner than you can imagine.

Noam Chomsky Announces Solidarity With #occupywallstreet

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.

Tipnis: Brutal Represión/gas,golpes,desaparecidos


Brutal e inhumana represión a la VIII Marcha Indígena

 (Comisión de Comunicación de la Marcha).- Hoy 25 de septiembre a horas 16:30 se inició un operativo policial y/o militar de cerco sobre el campamento del puente San Miguel a 5 Km de Yucumo, donde estaban descansando alrededor de 800 marchistas, incluyendo más de dos centenares de niños y bebés.
Alrededor de las 17 horas empezó una despiadada gasificación contra la gente indefensa, lo que provocó una confusión total y por ese motivo empezaron a extraviarse y desaparecer muchos de los niños que estaban ahí acampados junto a sus madres.
Posteriormente efectivos de la policía procedieron a perseguir a la gente, a acorralarlos, golpearlos, quemando el campamento, gasificando mujeres embarazadas y deteniendo enseres personales de la prensa, obligaron a la gente a subir a camionetas para de esta manera, digna de la peor de las dictaduras, intervenir y acabar con la marcha.

Posteriormente estas personas fueron obligadas a subir a buses que en número de 8 partieron con dirección a Yucumo, obligados por el bloqueo de caminos que ya esta efectuándose en San Borja, donde la población salió a la calle enardecida una vez que circuló la noticia de la intervención a la marcha……..

Spain gets hot: 50 mass demos Thursday

Here in Spain things are hotting up, as more and more people lose their jobs.

The cuts forced by the State and Banks are cutting into essential services. (Health, education, Pensions..) and 1000s are evicted for defaulting on mortgages.

The demonstrations and occupations have become daily and hourly.

People recognize that the Capitalist System itself is at fault, and there is intense debate, especially from the Take The Streets (15-M) movement

which has decentralized into hundreds of local non hierarchical Assemblies and sub commissions.

There are many local initiatives setting off, including Mutual Aid Networks.

This Thursday will be a Day of Action as a lead up to the General Strike, and you can choos from over 50 mass demonstrations

due to take place around the country.

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is Roaring Strong

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET

Saturday, September 24 2011 @ 12:54 AM CDT

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET is a week old and roaring strong. We, the people, are finding our voice, realizing that, yes we can revive our democracy. It is beautiful. It is an achievement. And it has the potential to grow into something even more wild and wonderful over the next few weeks and months. This Saturday at noon at the people’s assembly in Liberty Plaza there will be a celebration of our incredible first week. Last Saturday, 5,000 people flocked nonviolently to Wall Street … this Saturday there will be 10,000. And then in the weeks that follow, we will swell to 50,000 … and maybe even to 100,000+ by mid-October. Wouldn’t that be something!

#OCCUPYWALLSTREET this Saturday

Barcelona Bolsa.. Mani de 24 horas

 

what am I doing here?

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.

Our champ Chomsky ‘chomps up’ Imperialists!

Chomsky 'chomps up' capitalists

This guy is terrific. Today’s ‘Democracy Today” channel (inspired by him) has the top 3 stories with Chomsky fairly CHOMPING UP the Capitalist Bastards ruling and ruining our planet!

Noam Chomsky: ”2012 GOP Candidates Views are “Off the International Spectrum of Sane Behavior, Perry, who’s very likely … to win the primary and win the nomination, and maybe to win the election , is often in outer space.”

On Libya”I think it’s much harder to make a case for direct participation in a civil war and undercutting of possible options that were supported by almost the entire world,” Chomsky says.

On Palestine ”If  Palestinians do bring the issue to the Security Council and the U.S. vetoes it, it will be just another indication of the real unwillingness to permit a settlement of this issue, in terms of what has been for a long time an overwhelming international consensus,” Chomsky says.

Another Chomsky report details how the US and Israel are undermining the ‘Arab Spring’. Chomsky dates the start of the rebellions not in Tunisia, but in the protest camp in Sahara, which was brutally attacked by the generation long, occupying Morrocan army.
