Does anyone have any links to reports from other countries on the Wall Street Occupation?

[BeHereNow]

I thought the Guardian might, there appears to black out there too.
I did a search and could find nothing?
Perhaps some of our European DUers, or ex-pats could help?
I want to attach them to my FB share of the live feed.
In advance, THANKS!

Al Jazeera did, but I am sure that does not shock you

As you can tell, I don't currently have google translate installed.

Perhaps someone can help with translations.

Sorry. Not much help.

They can't keep it from the media forever...
Especially if these people are as persistent as their
brothers and sisters across the planet have been.

9. Earlier today AJE was covering it (they may still be), but I don't

know how big their audience is.

[BeHereNow]

13. Yes, there was a link posted in LBN-

Looks like the communication has been jammed though.
People blogging that they can't reach any one in the park
and the Global Revolution stream says they have lost contact
with their crew...
So TPTB don't want people knowing about this...
Gee, I wonder why...

10. Oh MSNBC finally went to print

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1958948

And GASP they actually doubled the number of protestors from CNN's numbers...

There are folks here committed though to saying it's nuthing... nuthing to see here... reminds me of the very early days of Wisconsin.

[socialist_n_TN]

21. "...reminds me of the very early days of Wisconsin."

Yes nadin, that's exactly what it reminds me of. I said in another post in another thread, that these things grow the longer they go on. And there's no better symbol to protest the capitalist system than Wall Street.

If they keep at it, it WILL grow.

15. French Canada (canoe.ca) translation (first four paragraphs)

New York | États-Unis
Des centaines de manifestants tentent d'occuper Wall Street

New York | United States
Hundreds of Protestors Try To Occupy Wall Street

Hundreds of protestors gathered together Saturday, not far from Wall Street, in New York, intending to "occupy" the street that is the world's financial symbol, to protest against greed, corruption, and American social programs' cuts, said AFP (Agence France Presse).

The protestors, most of them young, had planned to camp in the street where the New York Stock Exchange is located, for as long as their griefs against a financial system which according to them favors the rich and powerfuls, will not be heard.

But the police blocked all access to Wall Street and neighboring streets where the biggest American banks are seated, long before the young people who answered the call to protest by many anarchist groups and the online magazine AdBusters.

"The only thing we have in common is, we are the 99% of the population that does not tolerate the greed and corruption of the remaining 1%," as reported by a communication on the "Occupy Wall Street" site (#occupywallstreet).

[Contrary1]

11. Check out the version Murdoch's rag in Australia puked out:

Protesters blocked from Wall St

"HUNDREDS of people marched on Saturday near Wall Street in New York, but the city thwarted their attempt to protest against greed, corruption and budget cuts.

Protesters had planned to stake out Wall Street to vent their anger over a financial system they say favours the rich and powerful, but police blocked all the streets near the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall in Lower Manhattan long before they arrived.

"The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99 Percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the one per cent," said a statement on the website Occupy Wall Street. The movement was launched by the online magazine Adbusters in July.

<snip>

By noon, about 700 people, many carrying backpacks and sleeping bags, had gathered near Wall Street to search for a place to camp amid a heavy police presence. That was far fewer than the 20,000 Adbusters had hoped to see "flood" the neighbourhood for a months-long occupation..."

12. Oh that is fair and balanced...

towards a corporate point of view

17. Found a few (Egypt, Russia, Canada)

Most I found were just reprints of AFP articles, but these are original.

[BeHereNow]

19. You're good! But that last link is really fascist...check it out-

On the upper right hand corner of the page is a link
that says- Days till Obama Leaves Office
A count down thing, and the article blatantly
refers to the protesters as a few hundred leftists...

Speaking of protesters, Where exactly are the
tea baggers who want to take back the country at this protest?

The other two links are great though!
Thanks!

[jtrockville]

20. I didn't filter for flattering coverage... figured we should see it all.

I did notice the negative tone of the Canadian article, but my ad-blocker must hide the "obama countdown" {I can't see it}. Some of the AFP articles I browsed when searching have extremely negative comments, akin to (paraphrasing): look at the lazy ne'er-do-wells who don't work protesting those who work hard. That's what we're up against.

[BeHereNow]

22. Yes, I agree- looks like Canada has their own Tea Bagger press, eh?

AGAIN, Thank you for bringing all of it to the table.
Sabrina just posted the ultimate link from Paris-
Complete with links to global sites of protests in her thread.
I suggested she post it in a separate thread-
It is that good!
BHN:grouphug: Power to the People!

[jtrockville]

24. Sweet link from Sabrina... I rec'd your new topic too.

Time for us to "walk like an egyptian".

[Amonester]

23. Yeah, who don't work because... maybe they can't find a job...

to begin with...

They either miss the whole point, or they are complicitly dishonest!

My ad-blocker is going also crazy on that one.

[jtrockville]

25. Hard to understand the logic of those who support the banksters.

Maybe they miss the point. Maybe they're dishonest. Or maybe they're paid shills

I dunno. Sooner or later I'd expect them to catch on. Or maybe not.

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. It happens every time

some folks are truly that afraid of change.

[Fire Walk With Me]

34. And TPTB "help" our fear of change, don't they just?

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Yup

and change can and is scary... but necessary

[nadinbrzezinski]

27. Well this is interesting

BBC has this link to FOX on their site

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/09/17/demonstrators-occupy-wall-street-to-protest-influence-money-on-us-politics/

The choice of link is kind of ... well telling

[BeHereNow]

28. Yuck! Are you kidding? Guess that answers any remaining questions

As to solidarity of the global elite.

29. Nope, upper right corner

http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=wall%20street%20protest

And I had to dig to find it

[Raine]

30. CNN had a small piece on, said it was a bust. 20,000-90,000 expected ... a few hundred showed

up. :shrug:

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. CNN said 500

a few hours later MSNBC doubled it... to 1000 GASP...

A few years ago the city editor for local rag revealed something interesting... media tends to take a zero off any crowd estimate...

Of course I know they do that... before he even admitted it... so nooz reporting numbers, I take it with a grain of cesium.

Context SDSU protests in the 1990s to keep some programs... they did not want to buy MY PHOTOS of the event since it would belay the 200 or so students they reported in the paper. From photos posted on web 5K sounds not that far fetched... 10K is a little more like stretching it.

[BeHereNow]

38. What matters is that history will show they tried.

Future generations will dig it out of the Internet and know
some one tried to effect a change.
That matters.

31. Anyone shared this global link yet?

It's here kicking around in GD somewhere...
I spread it to FB too.

Thanks again for "The Weight."

I REALLY needed that.
