Occupy Everywhere is Spreading
The movement to occupy and call for a better future has unfolded in incredible ways over the last 3 weeks.
From the seed of #occupywallst where a few hundred into many thousands occupied Wall st calling for change.NB total Media blackout for most of first 2 weeks,so network it yourself be the media.
The 99% are rising up and demanding a fairer system from the 1% political elite who have too long controlled our so called democracy from behind the Shadowy scenes. A corporatocracy has slowly eaten away our long struggled for democracy.
The massive shout goes out to make the banks pay for the Crisis not the ordinary people, their schools,homes,hospitals and Public Services.To transform the way we run our society.
Over 3 weeks the snowball has rolled into 66 American cities,from New York to Los Angeles,San Francisco, Chicago, and Dallas to name but a few.
This movement has taken inspiration from the risings of the Arab Spring, from Greece and from the Squares occupations of Spain.The Spanish 15M movement said they were inspired by the 'Democracy Village ' occupation of Parliament Square in London last year,that we were heavily involved in.
Letting our government and the worlds media know that many in the UK where very unhappy with the illegal and unnecessary wars for resources,we had been undemocratically involved in.
The general assemblies are run on an activist model with working groups and direct democracy, similar to ones set up at International summits such as Copenhagen.Peoples assemblies or general assemblies spreading across cities and the world.
The Peoples Assembly of Democracy Village (2010) on Parliament Square, pushed the networking of Assemblies over the next year,after the eviction last summer.It is with great joy that we see direct participation democracy spreading like wildfire across the public squares of the world.
Across the world what was last year unquestionable and permanent has been questioned ,and been swept away into the pages of history.
What Egyptian would have predicted the tyrant would topple.
All around us the planet is changing fast,learning swiftly from the past to create a sustainable future.
We live in very exciting times the world is reshaping itself before our very eyes.

Government fails to consider vulnerable groups: Squash calls for extension of consultation on squatting
Government fails to consider vulnerable groups: Squash calls for extension of consultation on squatting
http://www.squashcampaign.org/2011/09/consultation-extension/Article for Guardian "comment is free"
Have you ever gone to bed hungry ?, have you ever gone to bed cold ?,can
you imagine what it is like to be a young runaway girl of 14 trapped
in the cycle of misery that it is to live on the streets.
For many people squatting is desperation and the last resort,to some
it is the ups and downs,the
joy of community.
I would not be alive were it not for squatting: as a young homeless 18
year old on the streets of London, I nearly topped myself, alone,
cold,depressed skint, you don't think straight. Squatting saved my
life.
Some friends invited me to stay in their lounge in a squat in Kings Cross.
I went on to create nearly 20 years of squatted environmental
community centres that helped many people who had been in the same
situation I had been in.
This is maybe one of the reasons I have been feeling the rage of the
last 6 months as I have seen a systematic,pre planned ,co-ordinated
weekly assault on the last of our common rights ,the right to shelter
in an empty abandoned building.
This has been a right for time.
The misrepresentation, propaganda and blatant lies we have faced from
the mainstream media,as squatters,the dispossessed, the poorest and
most vulnerable in our society.
This propaganda campaign has been needed to disguise the major
assault on our rights to Protest,as it will affect Trade union and
student occupation of workplace and university.
The occupation of camps for Peace and to save the environment such as
Climate Camps.
Trespass has always been a civil offence, this criminalisation of
trespass,sheltering/squatting would be like the last of the 'Enclosure
Acts'. Affecting our rights to shelter/tenants rights.
We have had a right to go before a magistrate to hear our case for 700
years since the 1371 force able entry act.
The proposed new law would licence landlords to use violence to evict.
We need some heart, compassion what are the solutions,
725,000 empty buildings in UK ( empty homes agency figures)
Up to half a million ,hidden homeless in the middle of a
housing crisis.(Crisis figures)
We need a Green Sustainable Deal ,buildings could be recycled and renovated as
squatters have done for time. We transform, we re-use, we recycle empty
and abandoned buildings,by using all the buildings we could create
new homes, project and work spaces that could create hundreds of
thousands of sustainable jobs and community.
It feel like their has been a declaration of War on the poor and most
vulnerable in our society, by the media and politicians. An assault
is being launched on the rights our ancestors struggled long and hard
for.
We are human beings we have rights and the tables are turning as the
recent events in New York #occupywallst that has spread to Los
Angeles,Chicago and San Francisco and Dallas, a wave of change is
spreading across the globe from the “Arab Spring” to the “American
Fall”
http://www.guardian.co.uk/
We refuse to take this lying down to be imprisoned for housing
ourselves due to a failing system that seems to have ceased to care
for its people it was elected to help.
Homes not jails.
The wave of repossessions to come and people being evicted due to not
being able to pay the rent,. has been suggested as another reason to
illegalise the squatting that many would turn too. Most in
desperation and as a last resort
160 solicitors and academics put it well in the Guardian in a mass
letter on the misrepresentation of trespass.
http://nearlylegal.co.uk/blog/
www.squashcampaign.org consultation quick response guide …...
Consultation ends Oct 5th SOS 5pm
There is a call from the squash to extend the deadline as the
consultation has not been properly carried out,with fair time and
process of consultation.

Mark Thomas calls save NHS block Westminster bridge Oct 9th
1/2: @SchNEWS: RT @markthomasinfo: Save the NHS - call to block Westminster bridge on 9th October - good call out video - seriously check this out. http://t.co
Occupy London Stock Exchanhge Oct 31st
Occupy the London Stock Exchange this October 31st.
London stock exchange occupation
Meet up on the 31st of October at 16:30 - 12 December at 11:00 at the London Stock Exchange at 10 Paternoster Square, City of London.
Beginning on October 31, we want to see at least over 20,000 people flood into lower St Pauls, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy the London Stock Exchangefor a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices. A worldwide shift in revolutionary tactics is underway right now that bodes well for the future. The spirit of this fresh tactic, a fusion of Tahrir with the acampadas of Spain.

Democracy Village to The 'Arab spring' to the 'American Fall'
Thoughts for the Day wed 28th September 2011
There is a Wave of change sweeping across the face of our planet, a transformation is under way.
From the tented Democracy Village of Parliament square to the tents and tarps of Tahrir Square.
From Tunisia to Tel Aviv,to the squares of Madrdid and Spain, from Greece to Tottenham ,from Hackney,Manchester and Birmingham to Los Angeles the people are stirring from a long slumber.
From the squats of London,and the streets of Camden to the traveller sites of Dale farm,a wind is blowing that will shake the foundations of the world we know.
A world that has a system that routinely ignores the death of 20,000 children from poverty every day.7 million per year dying the slow agonising death of starvation and death by easily prevented diseases.
The world is being reshaped towards a people centred ,fair and sustainable system that cares for its people and nature .People before profit.We need to centre our world in decisions that benefit nature and all future generations ,not just the next 5 year profit margin.
Such as the 'Declaration of Mother Earth Rights' by the Bolivian government and people led by President Evo Morales an indigenous leader.
To the story of ' the children's fire'.A native American tale of how all our decisions should be viewed as to how they will affect all the children of the world.A change is coming.
One of the reasons i have started to activate this blog is that my face book has been frozen,probably due to being to effective a networker of change.
The last thing I posted was about the #Occupywallstreet demonstration that had spread to LosAngeles with a general assembly being declared.
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/09/485059.html
http://occupywallst.org
http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/occupywallstreet
Apparently this wind of change has also spread to San Francisco and Chicago.Soon to be felt in Manchester on 2nd october.
You cannot stop an idea it is bullet proof..Occupying space and creating assemblies to discuss amongst the people what sort of future we want to see is direct democracy.
The forces of facebook,twitter and yahoo who have been,removing posts and acccounts,removing trends and censoring emails are undemocratic and aid the forces of totalitarianism.
These brave Americans true supporters of Liberty, Justice and the Constitution have been gathering for a week with thousands occupying Wall St peacefully, having discussions,forming media groups,action groups and those willing to be arrested.as well as many other circular working groups to envision the future we all want to see, a future free from want , a future free from fear and a future for all the human race as well as the species we share this incredible blue and green jewel of a planet with.
Assemblies of people are gathering across our Globe to re envision the future, towards a world navigated from the heart,that does not send machines to rip humans apart, but to find the solutions to the pollutions, and create energy sources that help to share the earths resources, there is enough homes for all, there is enough food for all .Time to share or we will be going nowhere around the evolutionary spiral path,time to shift our consciousness.As Buckminster Fuller said 'a problem cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness that it was created at.
A fire burns within me that will never be extinguished, the fire of hope and transformation.
The fire from within as Carlos Castaneda called it.
Words of wisdom from the edge of destruction,will we heed the call and awake in time, into a sustainable future of our making, stop the taking, start the sharing,never to late to start caring.For your neighbours, for all our relations as the Native Americans say.
Lets hope tomorow will be a better day.
