October2011.org News: Exposing the Charade! Occupy has Solutions

Because a sustainable future depends on the people willing to see the truth for what it is, and for those to stand up in unison in order to make a difference. — Jake Edward Keli'i Eakin The political theater surrounding the fiscal cliff charade once again reminds us that there are solutions to all of the crises that we currently face. The problem is that the 'looting class' ignores them and continues to place corporate greed above human needs. Dennis Trainor, Jr of"American Autumn"  produced this short piece highlighting the "99% Deficit Solution." (Click on ad to see full size) He calls on President Obama to do what is right for the people, but we aren't holding our breath. And neither are the people of Occupy Chicago who are setting up a "Durbinville" today to protest austerity measures. Students at Cooper Union in New York are taking bold actions to stop the school from charging tuition for the first time ever. At this time, 11 students are occupying the clock tower where they have been since Monday. The students are fighting for those who come after them and recognize that their struggle is part of the global struggle for free higher education. They are using the color red as did the students in Quebec. The Egyptian Revolutionaries have intensified their struggle. The new President, Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, recently took steps to grab greater power and is trying to push through a new constitution that denies basic rights such as the right to freedom of expression and freedom of the press. The media has responded in solidarity by holding strikes and protesters surrounded the Presidential Palace starting two days ago. We spoke with Mokhtar Kamel, President of the Alliance of Egyptian Americans (North America) on Monday. Our thoughts are with the revolutionaries who are suffering serious injuries and deaths.  And we are inspired by the new phase of the Spanish Revolution. They are calling for economic disobedience and have produced a new guide, "No Pagamos" (We Won't Pay). People are coming together in their local General Assemblies to use their resources to meet their needs together.  We wish a great big Happy Birthday to Occupy Our Homes and congratulate them for their tremendous efforts to protect people from fraudulent lenders and keep them in their homes! They are celebrating with anational day of action. Please remember the people of Occupy Sandy inNew York and New Jersey. They still have needs for volunteers and donations. Visit their online hubs to see what you can do! And see what the NYPD are saying about their work. In peace and solidarity, October2011/Occupy Washington, DC
