October 15, 2011 journal, Occupy Wall Street has now occupied Times Square with thousands of demonstrators. This is a situation New York City is not prepared to handle. Occupy Rome has burst into violence as the movement goes global with 800 in the U.S. Police are trying everything possible to discourage this movement threatening capitalism. This has become a phenomenon like never in the history of the United States of America. The more police brutality the bigger the crowd and it's not easy even to use the bathroom without walking half a mile for a bathroom and risk arrest every step away. Citibank had them arrested for just coming in and lining up to close their bank accounts as being noisy. The foreign Federal Reserve creates the money free of charge & when they sell securities Wall Street gets a commission making them richer as it has been this way for a long time. As fast as the Fed can create it Wal-Mart ships it to China for cheap child made products. This has built China up to an economic monster that now is threatening America's future. 22 peaceful protesters were arrested inside one Citibank for no good reason whatsoever. The protests are growing worldwide like an explosion because the people need the rally to express their grievances as they are very determined to make Wall Street accountable. Can we live without Wal-Mart who began innocently by advertising all American made? These are not socialist demonstrating, just real people trying to survive! Wall Streeters are not the capitalist, they are Zionist financial criminals robbing the people of the wealth. "The owners of Zuccotti Park-Occupy Wall Street's home base-have pocketed nearly $700,000 in government handouts since the 9/1/1. Brookfield Properties has received at least 3 six-figure grants meant for small businesses hurt by 9/1/1, even though it's an $8 billion company with 2,500 employees, records show. Brookfield got the money because the state agency that doled out the cash treated one of the huge company's small affiliates as an entity unto itself-effectively turning it into a small business to make it eligible." The park was a free gift to a corporation who rents it back to the City of New York for rent. I never cease to be amazed at the bold corruption being revealed of the tyrants in power. here is the best written article I have seen both sit on the website occupywallst.org It is finally coming to a head N full confrontation of the false phony financial system. "Tens of Thousands in Streets of Times Square, NY-Tens of Thousands Flood the Streets of Global Financial Centers, Capitol Cities and Small Towns to "Occupy Together" Against Wall Street Mid-Town Manhattan Jammed as Marches Converge in Times Square New York, NY -- After triumphing in a standoff with the city over the continued protest of Wall Street at Liberty Square in Manhattan's financial district, the Occupy Wall Street movement has spread world wide today with demonstrations in over 1,500 cities globally and over 100 US cities from coast to coast. In New York, thousands marched in various protests by trade unions, students, environmentalists, and community groups. As occupiers flocked to Washington Square Park, two dozen participants were arrested at a nearby Citibank while attempting to withdraw their accounts from the global banking giant. "I am occupying Wall Street because it is my future, my generations' future, that is at stake," said Linnea Palmer Paton, 23, a student at New York University. "Inspired by the peaceful occupation of Tahrir Square in Cairo, tonight we are are coming together in Times Square to show the world that the power of the people is an unstoppable force of global change. Today, we are fighting back against the dictators of our country - the Wall Street banks - and we are winning." New Yorkers congregated in assemblies organized by borough, and then flooded the subway system en mass to join the movement in Manhattan. A group calling itself Todo Boricua Para Wall Street marched as a Puerto Rican contingent of several hundred playing traditional music and waving the Lares flag, a symbol of resistance to colonial Spain. "Puerto Ricans are the 99% and we will continue to join our brothers and sisters in occupying Wall Street," said David Galarza Santa, a trade unionist from Sunset Park, Brooklyn. "We are here to stand with all Latinos, who are being scapegoated by the 1%, while it is the bankers who have caused this crisis and the banks who are breaking the law." While the spotlight is on New York, "occupy" actions are also happening all across the Midwestern and the Southern United States, from Ashland, Kentucky to Dallas, Texas to Ketchum, Idaho. Four hundred Iowans marched in Des Moines, Iowa Saturday as part of the day of action: "People are suffering here in Iowa. Family farmers are struggling, students face mounting debt and fewer good jobs, and household incomes are plummeting," said Judy Lonning a 69-year-old retired public school teacher. "We're not willing to keep suffering for Wall Street's sins. People here are waking up and realizing that we can't just go to the ballot box. We're building a movement to make our leaders listen." Protests filled streets of financial districts from Berlin, to Athens, Auckland to Mumbai, Tokyo to Seoul. In the UK over 3,000 people attempted to occupy the London Stock Exchange. "The financial system benefits a hand-ful of banks at the expense of everyday people," said Spyro Van Leemnen, a 27-year old public relations agent in London and a core member of the demonstrators. "The same people who are responsible for the recession are getting away with massive bonuses. This is fundamentally unfair and undemocratic." In South Africa, about 80 people gathered at the Johannesburg Securities Exchange, Talk Radio 702 reported. Protests continued despite police efforts to declare the gathering illegal. In Taiwan, organizers drew several hundred demonstrators, who mostly sat quietly outside the Taipei World Financial Center, known as Taipei 101. 600 people have begun an occupation of Confederation Park in Ottawa, Canada today to join the global day of action. "I am here today to stand with Indigenous Peoples around the world who are resisting this corrupt global banking system that puts profits before human rights," said Ben Powless, Mohawk citizen and indigenous youth leader. "Native Peoples are the 99%, and we've been resisting the 1% since 1492. We're marching today for self- determination and dignity against a system that has robbed our lands, poisoned our waters, and oppressed our people for generations. Today we join with those in New York and around the world to say, No More!" In Australia, about 800 people gathered in Sydney's central business district, carrying cardboard banners and chanting "Human need, not corporate greed." Protesters will camp indefinitely "to organize, discuss and build a movement for a different world, not run by the super-rich 1%," according to a statement on the Occupy Sydney website. The movement's success is due in part to the use of online technologies and international social networking. The rapid spread of the protests is a grassroots response to the overwhelming inequalities perpetuated by the global financial system and transnational banks. More actions are expected in the coming weeks, and the Occupation of Liberty Square in Manhattan will continue indefinitely. Occupy Wall Street is a people powered movement that began on September 17, 2011 in Liberty Square in Manhattan's Financial District, and has spread to over 100 cities in the United States and actions in over 1,500 cities globally. #OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations. The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Italy and the UK, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people who are writing the rules of the global economy are imposing an agenda of neoliberalism and economic inequality that is foreclosing our future." 126 Comments The banks heyday is over and they will soon recognize it as the paper dollar diminishes. It is necessary for a total meltdown and start over to cure the problems of America. Even the state's will melt down because they will have no currency when dollar does not spend. Taxes are so high on property commercial & residential until people cannot afford to pay tax unless you can pay them with a bushel of tomatoes or potatoes, let the poor eat them. "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." Noam Chomsky Doug said (October 11, 2011): "I agree that the Occupy demonstrations were either false to begin with or have been subverted. I suspect the former. The satanists have been siphoning off money from the banking system with increased intensity from the mid-nineties. They knew that sooner or later their chickens would come home to roost and have long prepared for this type of blow back; their intention was and is to control such blow back. i.e. no real solutions offered just headless chaos that vaguely affixes blame to the very top of the banking elite (1 %) and not their extended Luciferian membership (more like 5%) many of whom have been enriched over the years. The reality is that many of their Luciferian membership have benefited from easy credit for many years; they infiltrated all levels of finance and their bank managers were told to give loans to their members regardless of sound banking practices or eligibility. Many loans made good and no problem resulted; in this way many Luciferians got their helping hand up the ladder of life while sheeple with impeccable references were simply unable to obtain finance. Those Luciferians that failed to repay or make good on such easy loans were also no problem for the banks concerned; these bad debts were "underwritten" by big brother who has eventually coalesced them all under the aegis of the world's biggest merchant banks... and dumped them back at the feet of the sheeple tax payers. A classic win-win for the Luciferians; many of the Luciferian membership bought properties, businesses, shares etc and thus created a new Luciferian affluent "upper-middle class" while the old sheeple middle class was squeezed to death. Credit crunches / increased taxes / inflation ...all helped do it. It has been the greatest transfer of wealth in history and has been intensified on a world wide basis for roughly two decades. It has been happening in SA just as everywhere else. That is where the "Occupy" demos come in; it is their end game, their clean up operation to hide the evidence. The heads of banking institutions and some politicians will be vilified but the real elephant in the room....the massive army of newly affluent Luciferian elite remain hidden"
