Lesley Clark and Gianna Palmer, McClatchy Newspapers: 'The Occupy Wall Street movement - looking to show staying power after losing prime real estate in various cities - got a boost of support across the country Thursday from labor and progressive organizations in what union organizers said is the most visible sign that they are working with the activists to press for change.'

Occupy: Cathedrals and Ivory Towers

David Palumbo-Liu, Truthout: 'This past weekend in the UK saw people walking about sporting red poppies on their lapels. It was Armistice Day on Friday, November 11, and Sunday, November 13 was Remembrance Day. On Thursday, I attended Paul Gilroy's conference on 'Shock and Awe' at the London School of Economics (LSE), where speakers reflected on the history of aerial bombing, the deployment of massive strategic attacks on noncombatants.'

'Section 1031 [of the National Defense Authorization Act] would apparently give the President the power to order the military to subject United States Citizens and other persons present in the United States to indefinite detention without trial or charge. ... The two Senators who are pushing the bill with the controversial provision intact are Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ) ...

The Republican candidates for president are not the only politicians who use Iran and its nuclear program as a magnet for campaign dollars.

The economics of war

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Robert P. Murphy

11/16/11

The market economy involves peaceful cooperation. The division of labor cannot function effectively amidst a war. Warfare among primitive tribes did not suffer this drawback because the warring parties had not been engaged in trade before the hostilities. Thus they engaged in total war. Things were different in Europe (before the French Revolution) when military, financial, and political circumstances produced limited warfare...

This Is What America Looks Like

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Let s get a few things straight right from the jump. First of all, despite all the gleeful obituaries that have been appearing across the scabrous landscape of the 'mainstream' news media, the Occupy movement is not, in fact, over. Mayor Michael Bloomberg may have sent in cops like thieves in the night to dispossess peaceful protesters and destroy books in New York City, but there are hundreds of Occupy camps still standing from one side of this nation to the other.'

Since Monday night s eviction of the occupation by New York s Police and Sanitation Departments, under the orders of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Liberty Plaza Park, whose specific commission is to provide access to the public 24 hours a day, has been surrounded by metal barricades, a handful of one-person-wide breaks providing the only entrances and exits.'

San Francisco Police Arrest 100 in Bank of America Protest

Maura Dolan, The Los Angeles Times: 'Protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement seized a Bank of America branch in the city s financial district Wednesday, a demonstration that forced jittery customers and employees to flee and ended in nearly 100 arrests. It took about 40 police officers in riot gear nearly four hours to clear the bank, but no one was injured. Police said many of those arrested were UC Santa Cruz students who were protesting fee increases and budget cuts.'

Billionaires Use Tax Loophole to Lower Their Tax Rates to One Percent

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'In 2009, 1,470 households reported income of more than $1 million but paid no federal income tax on it, through their use of various tax loopholes and shelters. Tax rates for millionaires have fallen by 25 percent since the mid-'90s, while one quarter of millionaires currently pay lower tax rates than the average middle-class household?. The tax code is full of provisions that help the very wealthy, like the pernicious carried interest loophole or the preferential treatment of investment income. And the end result is a tax code that advantages the 1 percent over the 99 percent.'

Occupy Wall Street s 'Day of Disruption'

Mehr als 240 Festnahmen an der Wall Street

'Bei Demonstrationen an der Wall Street in New York ist es zu heftigen Ausschreitungen gekommen. Mehr als 240 Menschen wurden nach Medienberichten festgenommen. Zehn Demonstranten und sieben Polizisten wurden verletzt?' Artikel in der NZZ vom 18.11.2011 http://www.nzz.ch/nachrichten/politik/international/occupy_wall_street_setzt_proteste_fort_1.13344418.html

Aus dem Text: ?(?) Tausende Menschen waren nach Aufrufen über Netzwerke wie Facebook in das Herz des New Yorker Finanzbezirks gekommen, um gegen die Macht der Banken und soziale Ungerechtigkeiten zu demonstrieren. Am «Day of Action» (»Tag der Aktion») zogen sie durch die Stadt, besetzten U-Bahnstationen und Plätze. In den späten Abendstunden liefen die Massen mit Lichtern und Plakaten über die Brooklyn Bridge. Strassensperren hinderten die Aktivisten bei den Protestmärschen tagsüber daran, direkt zur New Yorker Börse vorzustossen. Die Polizei hatte ihre Sicherheitsvorkehrungen um das ohnehin seit zwei Monaten weitgehend abgeriegelte Gebäude verstärkt. Eisengitter und Beamte in Kampfmontur versperrten den Demonstranten den Weg ins Herz des Finanzbezirks. Menschen, die zu ihren Arbeitsplätzen wollten, mussten scharfe Kontrollen über sich ergehen lassen. Ihr Vorhaben, die Börse lahm zu legen, konnten die Demonstranten jedoch nicht umsetzen??


Proteste in New York: Occupy kehrt zurück

Kaum einen Tag nach der Räumung des Occupy-Camps in New York sind dessen Bewohner in den Zuccotti-Park zurückgekehrt - ohne Zelte, ohne Schlafsäcke. Ihre Botschaft ist dennoch klar: Der Staat hat uns seine Macht gezeigt, nun zeigen wir unsere.

'We are proud to publish a report on the Oakland general strike written by Kimi Lee, woman, mother, migrant and activist of the collectives Colorful Mamas of 99% and LeftBay99, the latter born as a space for organization within the #occupy movement, after the strike was launched. It is an enthusiastic and sincere report. We have a lot to learn from Oakland: the ways in which the strike was organized and practiced and how it is regarded today by those who have been protagonists? Rise up together to make the difference?...'
