Improvised drone "toy" bypassing argentine government airspace restriction.

quote:

On November 8th a mass protest against the Argentinean Government policies ( crime rates, inflation, censorship and political corruption) took place in Buenos Aires City. Due this the government banned the use of airspace to independent news media helicopters, to prevent aerial images gauge the size of the protest. But that didn't stop an amateur drone to bypass aerial restriction and take a Full HD video.

Occupy's trigger moment

With the election behind us, Occupy is emerging as an energized fighting force with new tactics and a renewed revolutionary potential. Spain's indignados are refocusing their rage against the banks by “jamming cash machines with glue and coins,” reports Reuters, in a tactical shift toward direct disruption of the flows of capital. Occupy Sandy is demonstrating the power of horizontal, people-to-people organizing with a relief operation that is feeding and caring for thousands in New York. And then there is perhaps the biggest tactical mindbomb of all: an audacious culture jam, originally conceived by Adbusters in 2009, to buy and abolish debt.

Tomorrow, Strike Debt, a maverick affinity group of Zuccottis, is kicking off the Rolling Jubilee . . . a project that “buys debt for pennies on the dollar, but instead of collecting it, abolishes it.” The ultimate goal is to “liberate debtors at random through a campaign of mutual support, good will, and collective refusal.” The plan has attracted sizable media attention from CNN, the NY Times, Salon and more. Writing for the Guardian, Charles Eisenstein explains its “transformative potential”:

. Two pillars uphold the present debt regime: the moral legitimacy of debt in society's eyes, ie, the idea that a person 'should' pay back what he owes; and the coercive mechanisms that enforce repayment, such as harassment, seizure of assets, garnishment of wages, denial of employment or housing, and even imprisonment. The Rolling Jubilee erodes both. It destigmatises debt by saying, ‘we're all in this together, we believe your situation is unfair, not shameful, so we're going to help you out’.

The Rolling Jubilee has already raised enough money to abolish over $3.2 million in debt . . . raising the tantalizing possibility that Occupy's biggest trigger moment – the spark of a widespread refusal against the financialization of life – is still to come.

Topbeloning bij overheid aan banden

quote:

Zo'n 700 topbestuurders bij de overheid en semipublieke sector verdienen meer dan de wet voorschrijft. 'Zij houden nog drie jaar dat niveau. Daarna wordt het in vier jaar tijd verlaagd tot het geldende maximum', zegt PvdA-minister Ronald Plasterk van Binnenlandse Zaken.

VVD en PvdA willen het maximumsalaris in de publieke sector verder verlagen tot hooguit een ministerssalaris. De norm geldt dan voor alle inkomens, niet alleen topbestuurders. Medisch specialisten in loondienst komen dan eveneens onder de norm. 'En ook topartiesten bij de publieke omroep', zegt Plasterk. Dat kan op termijn gevolgen hebben voor het inkomen van nog eens vier- tot vijfduizend personen.

Battlefield Lisbon

quote:

I’ve seen brief images from Greece, Italy, Spain and England. But today was too big to get a clear picture of everything. I will just tell you what happened here in Lisbon.

There were two feeder marches. One of the big unions and one of dockworkers, anarchists and social movements. Naturally I joined the latter.

quote:

At the monumental Praça do Commercio an undercover police officer made a clumsy attempt to arrest one of the people throwing bombs. He almost got lynched by the mob. His colleagues in uniform stormed in to bring him to safety. The arrest was never made.

quote:

Something was about to happen. You could feel it from the beginning. For the moment, the drum band was drumming, the people were cheering. I was talking to a friend of mine. She said the crowd was actually pretty calm, too calm.

Before she even finished her phrase, it started. All along the line, people tore down the barriers. At the stairs, the front line moved up to face the police, but the crowd fell short of taking the stairs by storm. They could have succeeded, but the moment of hesitation was enough for police to organise and to form a line.

quote:

At the start of the assault, there had been some small skirmishes at the stairs in which the anarchists conquered one of the officers shields. With spray paint, someone cancelled out the word police and replaced it with grand capital letters spelling PEOPLE. The roar was awesome when they brandished their booty.

quote:

Around six, authorities had enough of it. Via megaphone it was announced that people had to disperse or police would charge. The answer came with firecrackers and an intensification of the bombardment.

Ze hadden met scherp moeten schieten....wtf..bommen gooien en agenten lynchen. Lekker sociaal zijn die lui. Met dat soort figuren zou ik mij in ieder geval niet willen inlaten.

Maar ok, het zal wel weer worden goedgepraat hier, je mag verslaggevers fysiek bejegenen , je mag agenten bombarderen en lynchen, zolang je maar roept dat je het niet voor jezelf doet maar 'voor anderen'. Bah, stelletje terroristen.

Er staat toch duidelijk dat een van die paupers een bom gooide en dat de politie daarna ingreep. Ik snap dan ook niet dat je dat geweld tracht goed te praten met de dooddoener dat er hufters bij de politie zitten. Tussen de Occupiers zit ook tuig ,... allemaal dus maar in elkaar meppen? Volgens jouw bewering mag het.
