| U.S. Occupy Movement Grows as Protests Reported in 847 Cities; Obama Notes Frustration | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 7 Oct 2011 Democracynow.org - Parallel actions inspired by New York City's Occupy Wall Street continue to spring up across the United States. As of Friday morning, the website "Occupy Together," hub for nationwide events in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street reported gatherings in 847 cities. On Thursday, activists kicked off the "October 2011" protest by occupying Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. As in New York City, demonstrators have come to D.C. from across the country, and some are taking part in their first-ever political demonstration. One woman who traveled from Kansas held a sign that read: "Lost my job, found an occupation." Meanwhile, in San Francisco, protesters are defiantly resisting a police attempt to break up an encampment in front of the Federal Reserve Bank. On Thursday, dozens of officers in riot gear surrounded the camp and removed tents, sleeping bags and other items belonging to protesters. But organizers say over 100 people are still remaining in the area despite losing their belongings. At the White House, President Obama weighed in on the "Occupy Wall Street" protests for the first time. Speaking at a news conference, Obama said he understands the protesters' "frustration," but ultimately believes in the financial sector. Obama: [quote] Obviously I've heard of it. I've seen it on television. I think it expresses the frustrations that the American people feel -- that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression ... and yet you're still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on abusive practices that got us into this problem in the first place. So, yes, I think people are frustrated, and the protesters are giving voice to a more broad-based frustration about how our financial system works. Now, keep in mind I have said before and I will continue to repeat, we have to have a strong, effective financial sector in order for us to grow.[end quote] | |

| Occupy Wall Street gets Taiwanese animation treatment | |
| Uploaded by NMAWorldEdition on 7 Oct 2011 http://www.nma.tv Where did Occupy Wall Street start? Up north! Canada's AdBusters made the initial call for protesters to converge on Wall Street and demand campaign finance reforms. However, the movement failed to catch fire until the hacker group Anonymous took notice. The protests gained momentum, attracting some unlikely bedfellows in the process. In the past, liberal activists focused on clearly defined causes. Occupy Wall Street's muddled approach could compromise the movement's effectiveness. The rallying cry for the movement is "We are the 99%". But compared to most of the world, the protesters are still very privileged. Nevertheless, the Occupy Wall Street movement continues to gather steam. Will it become the Tea Party of the left? | |
