No, this is not a photograph taken in one of the Arab countries where citizens are rebelling against the despots who rule them with an iron fist.
This was taken in Oakland, California and it shows American citizens protesting against the greedy corporate state, against endless war, against financial inequality, against the military-industrial complex, and against Government-led imperialism (photo thanks to Reuters).
We who live in the rest of the world can only hope that this movement, which seemed to come from nowhere, goes from strength to strength, and is not crushed by the police and the army acting on instructions from their psychopath leaders and politicians.
In Australia, the beginnings of a similar movement have begun and, as in America, the Land of the Free, the police are involved in disrupting and breaking up such protests.
It is obvious the Predators and Parasites who control us and bleed us are worried. They can’t tell where such a movement might lead. It might even lead to equality and peace! Shock! Horror!
Such things are feared and loathed by Predators and Parasites because it limits their lowlife activities!
Join the movement to create a better, fairer world where all enjoy the fruits of our beautiful earth, not just the greedy!
IT’S TIME!, AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME AROUND THE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE WILL
BE SO WIDESPREAD IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THE LOCAL CONSTABULARY
TO CURB THE VOICES. COME OUT BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF ALL AGES
AND PERSUASIONS……ENOUGH, I SAY!

Enough indeed. The birth and growth of this protest movement is the most significant thing that has happened in this world for the last fifty years!

The most disgusting of all the myriads of disgusting imperial doings was when a couple of the empire’s rich fascists tried to kidnap the popular discontent and created the fascist tea bagger gang! The best with OWS is that they show that people are still not stupid enough to fall for such simple tricks as the teabag gang false revolution.

Reader, thanks for your perceptive comment. We must watch out for false-flag operations. They will complement the violent actions of police and then the army!

The decline of the Western World. A new film called Decadence, a Fork Films feature Documentary, coming out soon.
Do you know anything about this “layman’s look” at where we are in the Fall of the Western world as we know it, David?

I haven’t heard of it, Trugannini. I guess I’m too busy watching the horror film called ‘Life on Earth!’
I see our P.M. has been to Afghanistan to gee up the troops and tell them we must, “Stay the Course.” Of course she hopes her own image might improve with this photo-op!

When is it all going to end!! I buy lovely free-range eggs from a local shop, grown by a farmer on the South Coast of NSW. The chooks range around paddocks and are
locked safely away in the evening. The Government has cancelled the farmer’s
license because……….his chooks drink from puddles and not Treated Water!!!!!!!
Arghhh!

It’s another example of how far we have moved away from nature and reality, Trugannini. We have substituted an artificial world for the natural one. As a result, we humans have become artificial and, dare I say it? unintelligent!
