20 October 2011 — Class action: OWS first salvo in US class war? — RT

A class war once seemed impossible in a country where being wealthy is part of the national dream. But as thousands march on Wall Street and in other parts of America, digging in with anti-corporate protests, many ask whether US is facing one.

­It is week five of the Occupy Wall Street rallying call against bloated banks and Washington’s weakness in doing anything about it. And the growing gap between rich and poor is something which could cost the government dear.

20 October 2011 — Gerald Celente: ‘Revolutions on Wall Street’ — RT

With Americans displaying anger with the country in alarming numbers — and protests a part of the Occupy Wall Street movement only getting bigger — are corporations really to blame for the country’s current economic condition?

Gerald Celente of the Trends Research Center says that it’s no surprise that Americans are angry with both politicians and the bigwigs in banks. ‘Wall Street is Washington; Washington is Wall Street,’ Celente told RT. ‘Who is the chief of staff of President Obama? Oh, that’s Bill Daley. Wasn’t he the VP of JP Morgan Chase?’ asked Celente.

A ‘Palestinian Spring’? Not Yet By Bashir Abu-Manneh

20 October 2011 — The Bullet • Socialist Project E-Bulletin No. 559

The ‘Palestinian Spring’ is the only one of the ‘Arab Springs’ to be announced from the General Assembly platform of the UN. “At a time when,” Mahmoud Abbas declared in his speech for UN recognition of Palestinian statehood, “the Arab peoples affirm their quest for democracy – the Arab Spring – the time is now for the Palestinian Spring, the time for independence.” This link between the bid and the democratic revolts taking place in the Arab world was repeated the next day in Ramallah.

On 14 October, President Barack Obama announced he was sending United States special forces troops to Uganda to join the civil war there. In the next few months, US combat troops will be sent to South Sudan, Congo and Central African Republic. They will only ‘engage’ for ‘self-defence’, says Obama, satirically.

Insurrection and Invisible Powers By Gaither Stewart

20 October 2011 — Greanville Post

Italy, like Spain, is a peninsula, but she might as well be an island given the barriers separating her from the rest of the European mass and the Mediterranean cradle itself. This, and her long history, broken by frequent invasions from diverse cultures, has fostered the coalescing of an extraordinary idiosyncrasy rich in mysteries and contradictions. Now we may be seeing the rise of a political culture that imitates the United States, and a new form of proletarianism, the “Precariat”. Continue reading
