OWS!!! Occupy Wall Street ! The smug, righteous attitude of the 'democratic west' is now exposed to be no more than a facade! When the Arab Spring began early in 2011, it was hailed by the USA and Britain, among others, to be the unlocking of freedom among the Arab nations who are, and who have been oppressed for far too long. They would now be able to dictate their own national destiny. Their so called new found freedom was to be celebrated!! But behind the scenes the machine is already in motion to succour these pawns into financial submission. Bribe the leaders to be part of the greedy and power hungry capitalist dictatorship and there is the opportunity for the Wall Street Megalomaniacs to use their countries' wealth, to spread the slime of their greed into more of the world. Moreover to control our lives.
But who would have expected to see the financial gun of the USA turned against itself ? And how has the US responded ? By subjecting peaceful protesters to violence. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and batons used against the unarmed,including people who have served their country in the furtherance of so called freedom, and the disabled. Are these times the death throes of a disgustingly corrupt system? There is talk of cold weather stifling the protests, but we all know that a rolled snowball gets bigger. Is this the beginning of the end of the tyrants?
I really appreciate reading this expression of solidarity from across the sea. I sincerely believe the only hope for humanity's global awakening and for our future on this planet is joining together against The Machine. Thank you.
