[Video] Occupy Youtube 11:11 – youtube

Posted on by dars0357

Brief Note:

Let me make it clear that I am no member of this group called the ’11/11 Movement’ who as I have read believe that the number 11 along with the date 11/11 hold a special significance. I don’t know if they are religious cult or part of the doomsday conspiracy. I hope they are not a messenger of some sort of prophesy about the end of the world. but i would gladly embrace it if they are calling for the end of capitalism and the rise of a new era of humanism…

According to blogger, Hazel Bear, the 11:11 Movement is an invitation to change the way in which we live our lives. Instead of being victims and being manipulated by our corrupt governments, we can choose to empower ourselves to take the annitiative and make the changes we want to see happening ourselves. Through using the internet as our communication centre for this project we can, ideally, reach out to as many willing people as possible.

If this is the real message of the cryptic code, then there is nothing to fear about but our readiness to face ourselves…

Just enjoy watching… because that’s the only reason I re-posted this video.

[In the Web] ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protests inspire PALEA

Posted on by dars0357

Ground crew workers of Philippine Airlines shout slogans during a rally on the last day of their work on Sept. 30, 2011 in suburban Paranaque, south of Manila, Philippines. Some 2,600 airline workers are expected to loose their job affected by outsourcing plan by PAL management.

 

MANILA, Philippines — Members of the Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA) picketing outside the gates of the Philippine Airlines’ (PAL) In-Flight Center (IFC) are being inspired in their struggle by the spreading Occupy Wall Street protests in the United States as well as the ongoing general strike in Greece.

“Our members are emboldened as they can easily identify themselves with the Wall St. protesters because of the similarities of our issues. Corporate greed and a failed economic model were moving people across the US into taking different forms of direct action,” said PALEA president Gerry Rivera in a statement.

The leaderless Wall St. protests have already spread across the United States and the number of people taking part keeps on growing despite attempts by the police to disperse the crowd. Dozens of trade union groups, including the Transport Workers Union (TWU), have also joined the protest.

“We Filipinos can also make our voices heard by doing similar actions against corporate greed and government neglect,” said Rivera.

Rivera, who is also the vice president of Partido ng Manggagawa (PM), said defenders of the outsourcing or contractualization scheme should see how this economic model failed the Americans, the Greeks, the Spanish, the Irish, and more and more people around the world.

[Video] Anonymous – Occupy Wall Street on September 17 – youtube

Posted on by dars0357

 

700 protesters marched acrossBrooklynBridgeto heed a call to Occupy Wall Street. Anonymous has posted several videos chronicling the event.

The first video shows what appears to be the start of the walk. In it a number of spectators are shown jumping down and joining the main body of protesters’. The footage lends credence to Anonymous’ and the Occupy Wall Street protesters previous claims that its core numbers had grown during the Brooklyn Bridge march.

The second video posted shows a number of individuals being separated from the main group of protesters. It goes on to show the New York police arrest the protesters.

The third video shows the protesters blocking a road, shouting the slogan “this is a peaceful protest.”

The Brooklyn Bridge arrests all occurred just as Occupy Wall Street entered its third week. The exact reasons for each arrest remain vague. The move from Wall Street to march across the Brooklyn Bridge, was reportedly planned on Saturday. While initially peaceful, reports suggest that clashes between protesters and the police occurred after a number of the marchers ignored police warnings to use a pedestrian pathway.

Though exact numbers remain vague a number of media outlets have since reported that of the 700 initially arrested, only around 20 individuals are still being held.

The latest clash follows a number of reports suggestingNew Yorkpolice had been using increasingly aggressive tactics against the seemingly peaceful protesters. Reports by both protesters and passers-by have since emerged suggesting the tactics have led to heightened tensions between police and the protesters.
