Out The Rabbit Hole: In Solidarity with Occupy Wall Street
http://www.kuci.org/podcastfiles/668/OWS1.mp3

Hear thoughts on and experiences with the Occupy Wall Street movement featuring Mack White, Robert Sterling and others.

I really love the last few minutes of the show, especially Mack's summation on why its unreasonable to expect a sound-byte answer from protesters.

Had to go because of Bloomberg's cleaning ultimatum, so I got up very early before work. Tried to make it by 7, was there by 8, big crowd and much ferment. One of the rectangle's long sides is now fully barricaded and all cops with checkpoints at the corners harrassing and preventing street crossing. The other long side is jammed with parked media trucks. Saw ministers. Was wearing the best suit-and-tie costume I can manage. At the OWS nerve center area, some guy with many piercings in a leather jacket sees me and asks, "Can I help you?" So I says, "Can I help YOU?" and keep the lecture brief about how my tie is not grounds for suspicions. Or maybe he just thought I must be media. I'm thanking and thanking people who have been in the field for days. All I got for them is cigarettes and petty cash. The march out on to Broadway is called "illegal" by human-microphoned speakers because they took up some precious automotive space. The march is still cheered when they return to the block. Fears and rumors that the cops will kettle the whole place, or suspend entry to it. Dazzling told me that when he left (at a hotter point than when I arrived) the coppers wanted to see his work ID so that they would let him out! But I don't see the big crackdown today. The Danish, Canadian, Everwhereistan media are all here. Everyone's filming something. ("FIOS" is now a channel, too?) What else? I'll let you know more if I think of something. Back to work.

PS - Is there a bigger media whore than Joe Klein of Time magazine? I don't think so.

Thanks for the report, Jack.

Though I feel terrible for him personally as a fellow human who has broken his leg while conscious, I'm still reeling with excitement over the concept that the NYPD literally ran over a lawyer during a protest. One easily identified as a lawyer by his brightly-colored hat, self-identifying him thus as a legal observer and not a protester. Ran him fucking over, stopped on his leg and fucking dismounted. Then a comrade decided to beat the shit out of the lawyer with a club just for good measure.

It's like something straight out of Naked Gun.

No, there is no bigger media whore than Joe Klein and Time Magazine.
Thanks for the on-the-ground reporting, NYC'ers. Keep it coming.

O’Leary’s ‘nutbar’ remark breach of policy, CBC ombudsman says

Cassandra Szklarski
Toronto— The Canadian Press
Published Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 5:17PM EDT

CBC’s ombudsman says Kevin O’Leary’s heated remarks during an interview with author Chris Hedges violated the public broadcaster’s journalistic standards.

The watchdog says hundreds of complaints were filed after Mr. O’Leary called the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist “a nutbar” during CBC News Network’s The Lang & O’Leary Exchange on Oct. 6. The remark came during a seven-minute segment about the Occupy Wall Street protests unfolding in the United States.

“There is room at the inn for a range of views, but there is no room for name-calling a guest,” CBC ombudsman Kirk LaPointe writes in a decision dated Oct. 13.

“O’Leary might have been genuinely curious about Hedges’s views, but his opening salvo only fed contempt, which breached policy.”

Mr. LaPointe says CBC News correctly issued a private apology to Mr. Hedges after the interview but should also have apologized on air.

A CBC spokesman was not immediately available Friday to say whether that recommendation would be implemented.

...

Mr. LaPointe says e-mailed complaints began to arrive that evening and continued for several days, while video of the exchange was posted widely online.

“This Office and CBC News received hundreds of comments, many of them demanding an apology and some demanding that O’Leary be fired for suggesting Hedges was a ‘left-wing nutbar,’” he writes.

It’s not the first complaint over Mr. O’Leary regarding an outburst on the news talk show. The National Union of Public and General Employees says it filed a complaint Friday over comments Mr. O’Leary made Sept. 19, when he said that if he were elected prime minister, he would “make unions illegal” and union members should be “thrown in jail.”

...

That's nice and everything, but I doubt the CBC will arrest its out-of-step Foxification. And the Conservatives will go on loving to hate it, regardless of content, and the cuts will still happen no matter how many standards it sheds.

Occupy Melbourne kicked off today, maybe 1000 at peak, hundreds in 1st general assembly still there when we left. Good vibe, mixed crew tending to youngish, actually not as many of the 'usual suspects' as i expected. Interesting divisive resolutions in the GA were whether to discourage vilifying the 1%, and a no-commerce rule, both rolled over for working groups tomorrow. Then we're going to march up to the Melbourne Club, he he he..

Occupy Australia takes off -- thousands in Melbourne and around the country
Saturday, October 15, 2011
By Timothy Lawson, Melbourne

At 11.30am on October 15, about 750 people converged on City Square in Swanston Street in Melboune’s CBD as part of the global Occupy Together movement. It is a movement inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement that has initiated similar movements in hundreds of cities worldwide.
By the time protesters who had been at a separate demonstration in solidarity with Palestine joined the assembly, numbers had grown to more than 2000 people.
Tents and stalls have been set up for the indefinite occupation. Stalls have been set up by groups including: refugee support and campaign groups; equal marriage campaign groups; an Indigenous tent and a media tent for independent media groups.
Occupy Melbourne activist Phil Stallard addressed the assembly, explaining the significance of the movement: “We, the people, rallying in Occupy Together protests around the world are battling first and foremost for the right to life, in the face of elitist governments and corporations doing their best to depopulate this globe through machinations hardly known to the public.
“As one people, united, we the 99% acknowledge the reality. That the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members together with a system that protects our rights upon corruption of that system.
“[A] democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth.
“No true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come together at a time when corporations run our governments. They place profit over people, self-interest over justice and oppression over equality.

"Because our governments have failed in their responsibilities, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights and those of their neighbours.”
“We are rallying for the restoration of human dignity, where people have been treated like cattle by the various elites of the world in their pursuit of wealth and power.”

2.11pm: There are reports that Julian Assange has been arrested at the Occupy London protest.

Jen Robinson, a lawyer with firm Stephen Finers and Innocent, tweets: "Here with #assange and police take him under section 60AA for wearing a mask to get into demo. Crazy."

2.03pm: Despite the thousands of protesters gathered outside, it's still business as usual for St Paul's cathedral, writes Lisa O'Carroll.

Staff tried to shepherd a bride and her father into the cathedral just across the road from the riot police. They arrived in a green and White volkswagon van and were ushered in through a side entrance.
