The World In Protest: Occupy Wall Street Movement Goes Global

» 98 comments

The Occupy Wall Street protests may have began in New York, but cities all over the country, from Chicago to Washington DC, are facing their own “Occupy” brand of protests. Now the movement has spread throughout the world, inspiring those in other countries to organize large events and holding their own protests.

The Washington Post explains that over “900 cities in Europe, Africa and Asia” have organized their own protests in the same vein as the U.S. demonstrations. The simultaneous protests yesterday may have been brought about by this website calling for people to “claim their rights and demand a true democracy.” From the site:

United in one voice, we will let politicians, and the financial elites they serve, know it is up to us, the people, to decide our future. We are not goods in the hands of politicians and bankers who do not represent us.

On October 15th, we will meet on the streets to initiate the global change we want. We will peacefully demonstrate, talk and organize until we make it happen.

It’s time for us to unite. It’s time for them to listen.

These protests erupted as members of the G20 met in France to discuss the European debt crisis, and in fact the European protests have been some of the largest globally. Protests in Rome turned so violent, police were forced to fire back with tear gas and water cannons.

And in London, protestors (including the infamous Julian Assange) planned to stage their protest in front of the London Stock Exchange, but ended up gathering outside St. Paul’s Cathedral because the area is private property.

    Just like Beck predicted and said a year ago and then this week on O’Reilly.

  • joe

    but he also predicted the tea party would be doing this—but it was ok …
    and he was wrong..

    becuase the tea party was a politcal campaign–and OWS is a global movement of the PEOPLE..
    you know—the ones who build your cities, teach your kids, cook your fast food?
    the ones who are going to vote?
    you know–THE NEXT GENERATION..
    but we can always go back to lala land and see what is going on in the tea party…
    hmmm-anti abortion? anti gays? drill baby drill? klll medicare? kill social security? kill the epa?kill public education? BUILT MORE MILITARY??GUNS GUNS GUNS/….but no jobs jobs jobs..

    ya–i think the ‘silent majority’ just got tired of the nonsense..
    and YOU conservatives have been threatening revolution–and now you got!
    enjoy~

  • joe

    now it is time for BOYCOTT WALLSTREET…

    THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO US WHEN WE ASK;THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO US WHEN WE ARE POLITE; THEY TRY TO STOP US FROM VOTING; THE DENY US ACCESS TO OUR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE WE CANNOT PAY THE TOLL—
    SO NOW WE MUST DENY THEM THEIR PROFITS……then their shareholders will demand they listen..

    let me guess…
    Barak Hussein Oabam?

    LET ME SAY IT AGAIN—
    WHY IS IT –THAT THE VERY THINGS THE RADICAL RIGHT HAS CLAIMED TO HATE THE MOST–THEY ARE DOING AND THEIR EXCUSES IS ‘SOMEONE ELSE DID IT FIRST”?

    let me explain something to yoy michelle–again–which i know is a fruitless task..
    OWS is NOT a potical movement like the tea party..
    OWS is NOT a politcal party like the tea party claims..
    OWS is NOT funded, organized or run by any corporate or politcal organization like the tea party..

    are politicians and corporations trying to take advantage of this movement? of course—that is what they do…but this movement is not about  1 single thing –with the exception of VOICE…
    all the people want is their voice to be heard and they are tired of those with the most money and power (1%) drowing out the rest of the people (99%)

    so let me again say–THIS MOVEMENT IS NOT FOCUSED ON ON PARTY, PERSON, IDEAOLOGY OR COMPANY…
    IT IS AGAIST A GAMED SYSTEM..
    kind of like the tea party against the goverment? the tea party just forgot the government was paid for by the corporations..
    so–OWS–is just digging at the root of the problem..
    i hope this helps–and i am sorry you hate american and democracy so much..
    but we will protect america—
    you are welcome~

    But when one TP’er had an offensive sign (which is nothing compared to these thugs), it was indicative of the whole movement.  Sorry you can’t have it both ways.  This is just one of MANY of the violent thugs that are rallying.  You liberals clearly want violence.  You are provoking the police, hoping they will make the first move so you can justify it.  I just hope you, Barry, and Nance are ready for the consequences.

    Mainstream media buys the psyop:

    And now, the impending
    climax of what appears to be a contrived psyop, fronted by agit-prop
    rent-a-protester agent provocateur phonies, a honeypot to ferret out alleged “dissidents”
    so they can be roughed up and thrown into the Security State’s extrajudicial
    persecution matrix, thus bolstering the bottom line of the defense contractors
    who profit from the war on (genuine, not “controlled opposition”)
    dissent. That’s not to say most of the protesters aren’t for real – they
    are.  But they are targets of some very
    devious psyop agents and they are being duped and endangered.

    More violence from Socialists. Well, at least where the people aren’t armed. Sure the Socialists in America are loudly and proudly calling for violence, but actual violence has been limited to throwing garbage at police and rightfully getting pepper sprayed for assaulting police officers. But hey, that’s what these little brats on Wall Street get for being conformists and yielding their security to the state.

    Glenn Beck on the Wall Street protests

    The Factor welcomed Glenn Beck, who warned that
    Occupy Wall Street protesters are a harbinger of more unrest. “I have
    talked about the coming insurrection for a long time,” Beck said, “and
    this is the beginning. I don’t know if this particular protest will
    hang on through the cold months or how it will mutate, but take these
    people seriously – they are calling for revolution and talking about how
    they are going to collapse the system. This involves the SEIU, the
    AFL-CIO and all kinds of groups that were paying people to come protest
    against Wall Street and the banks. The leaders of this movement have
    said they are not out to reform the system, they want to collapse it.
    There will be violence and chaos in the street.”Beck added that the
    occupation is a 2-limbed tree. These protesters will become violent and
    then a new group will arise….a nicer, peaceful group led by
    self-proclaimed communist, Van Jones.This will be the left’s attempt to destroy the Tea Party.He noted that this will become a global event.UPDATE:Today, October 15, 2011….The 99% opened protests in The Phillipines, Austrailia, Korea and Japan.All funded by George Soros.Beck NAILED IT AGAIN!!

    Obama’s approval ratings are so low……now the Kenyans are accusing him of being born in the United States…..

  • AliveStillKickin

    Prepare for violence. We remember this crowd.

    The year was 1999 and the anarchists descended on Seattle to stop a
    meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). We lived there at the
    time.

    Floyd was working as a host at Hot Talk 570 KVI, located in downtown
    near the “peaceful protests” of the meeting of WTO ministers. Seattle
    was excited because it was an opportunity to show the new high tech
    Seattle of the 1990′s that replaced the industrial Seattle of the
    1970′s. The City was on the world’s stage.

    Early pictures of the protests reminded us of what you see currently
    camped in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park. And as in the fall of 1999, the
    media is there to catalogue the strange beliefs of those involved.

    The Seattle protests were called a peaceful group of human rights
    leaders, students, environmental groups, religious leaders, labor rights
    activists’ etc., wanting fairer trade with less exploitation. Sounds
    like the group down on Wall Street.

    Liberal political leaders of the late 90′s were giving encouragement
    to the protesters in a fashion similar to the current leaders Nancy
    Pelosi, Al Gore and Barack Obama are carrying water for the current park
    based protesters.

    But there is a darker side to these crowds as there was to the
    Seattle crowds in 1999, and that is why we are predicting violence to
    break out soon if it hasn’t when you read this.

    The Seattle protests started peacefully, but they ended in a hail of
    tear gas and rubber bullets. The KVI office windows were smashed in, and
    the steel and glass structures that defined the high tech city were
    laying shattered for blocks.

    The protesters laid waste to blocks of glass windows, and some looted stores for extra “capitalist goods.”

    Over 600 protesters were arrested and the battle in the court rooms
    lasted for years as protesters made allegations of police brutality
    against the thin blue line that was attempting to protect the property
    of the “capitalist pigs,” as the protesters called them.

    Norm Stamper, the police chief of Seattle during the 1999 WTO
    protests, resigned soon afterward. He was singled out and scapegoated
    for the police response. But what are police to do when a peaceful
    protest morphs into a riot?

    Zuccotti Park is privately owned. The owners have leafleted the
    squatters and asked them to remove the illegal tarps and other
    structures that have been erected as part of the protests. Urine, feces
    and other bodily fluids are now making the park an unsanitary mess.
    These owners have a right to ask police to clear their private land of
    illegal squatters.

    We believe in peaceful protests, and Floyd was arrested in 1983
    protesting communism in front of the Soviet Embassy in Washington DC.
    But squatting on private land is not speech and protesting. It is an
    illegal act and if it is ignored it will embolden the protesters to
    break more serious laws.

    It is time to send these young socialists home to mom and dad before
    they start smashing windows and starting fires as they did in Seattle in
    1999.

    A lot of workers
    around the world don’t have time to study or follow Politics and the Economic
    problems they believe are being taken care of by our leaders. The problem is,
    some Politicians make friends with the Rich and want all the Legislations to
    benefit the Rich, self centered people are that way, Democrats are being
    hammered by these same people, they have been telling the Media they are going
    to make Obama a one term President. He can’t do anything without their OK, and they
    are the majority in Congress and so far they haven’t said OK to anything he has
    tried to do ‘because” they are the majority in Congress. That was a mistake. So
    now you know. This sucks doesn’t it?  Remember this at the 2012 election when you
    vote. Voting your choice for the Congress and the Senate is just as important
    as who you vote for as President. Since the Republicans have shown they want everything
    one sides their way, vote for the other side, maybe with them out of the way,
    we can solve this Wall Street problem by dividing Wall Street into Two Different
    Establishments; one could be called “Wall Street Business” and the other would
    be called the “Wall Street Casino”, the reason for this would be so people who
    put their money into group funds of any kind in wall street, will know just
    where their money is being used, in Gambling or in promoting and maintaining a
    reputable, stable, dividend producing establishment. You have heard businesses
    tell you wages are inflationary so we must keep them low, they never told us
    about their hidden incomes from Profits, Bonuses, and CEO’s Million dollar
    Bonuses and Million dollar Parachutes. You need to understand if a plumbers
    wage increases are inflationary, just thing of how inflationary Millions upon Millions
    and Billions of incomes by the Rich must be, maybe that is where the 16
    Trillion dollar deficit came from. They will point to Social Security and
    Medicare but we have been paying into these since 1935 when Social Security was
    born. The reason Social Security was established was, President Roosevelt seen
    old people laying dead in their houses and cabins with no water, electricity,
    or food because of being so old with no money and no way to maintain a life
    without money, Roosevelt said; “these people have not saved any money for their
    retirement, and with the numerous old people we are finding dead demands we do
    something to solve this problem”, he said;”people can’t seem to be able to save
    any money, people need a “forced saving plan’, we will call it “Social Security”,
    this has been a very good plan, If we can keep the theft, graft, corruption and
    embezzling out of it, it will serve our Nation Well for years to come. As you
    know if we can keep theft, graft, corruption and embezzling out of all Businesses
    and Governments including Cities, Counties and States, we will have the perfect
    America for all of her citizenry. If we honestly knew how much of the 16
    Trillion dollars of our deficit is from theft, graft, corruption and embezzling
    and we knew who had it and we could go get it, everyone would be surprised as
    to just who took it wrongfully overcharging our Government and outright theft
    through millions of different ways. Everyone needs to practice Murphy’s Law,
    including Our Government. Murphy’s Law is described as; “if it can happen, it
    will happen”; “your job is to see that it can never happen”. It works for me.

    Hey – I didn’t invent these rules. The left did in 2010 when they tried discrediting the tea party rallies around the country.

    That’s why it’s necessary for you to sleep in the bed you made. Comfy, isn’t it?

    So the Nazis supporting OWS makes OWS a Nazi movement.

    Thanks for confirming.

    Yes, America needs more moochers to be truly great! How can a society survive if not for 99% of it living on the backs of 1% of it?

    I do not hold that as proof that the TEA Party is racist.  I’m trying to demonstrate that the TEA Party isn’t in control on who claims to support it or not, If Joseph Stalin was to rise from the grave and proclaim “I support the TEA Party,” does that make the TEA Party a communistic revolutionary entity automatically responsible for the October Revolution and 1.7 million deaths in the Gulags the second he finishes his sentence?  If we hear the TEA Party welcome or acknowledge Duke’s endorsment, then you have a problem, not before.  And that’s the standard I hold to OWS.

    And if that’s your reasoning, you’re confirming the TEA Party is a KKK movement.  Good job.

    a.) I’m not a Republican, and
    b.) You’re wrong.

    We’re a federal republic, not a democracy. Not my fault you haven’t bothered to learn about the American government.

    No, their isn’t. Nazis and other national socialists believe workers of the nation unite. Communists and other global socialist believe that workers of the world unite.

    That’s the only difference. Again, not my fault your research consists of leftist media propaganda.

    Wall St. is behind the curtain calling the shots. We have the best Congress money can buy.  Corporate elites run the world.

    Its two different things.  Nazis were against unions while socialist supports unions.  Communists are against unions and you work depending on your ability.  They don’t want democracy in the work place.  Communist takes over all private property while Socialism doesn’t.  I recommend you learn more about it before saying things that you probably know isn’t true.
