<span style="background-color: black; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em;"><span style="color: white;">We chose to focus our cameras on Detroit out of a gut feeling that this city — often heralded as the birthplace of the middle class — may well be a harbinger of things to come for the rest of the country. </span></span></h6>
<br />
<h6 class="dateline" style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div class="articleBody" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 1.7em; margin-top: 1.5em;">
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Detroit lost 25 percent of its population between 2000 and 2010, and now, broke, finds itself on the verge of a possible state takeover. Yet visual reminders of a better time both haunt and anoint the residents here. The past is achingly present in Detroit, and the way its citizens interact with the hulking, physical remnants of yesterday is striking.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A few years ago, there was a rash of power outages in Detroit, caused by people illegally cutting down live telephone wires to get to the valuable copper coils inside. The Detroit police created a copper theft task force to deter the so-called “scrappers,” young men who case old buildings for valuable metals, troll cemeteries to steal copper grave plates and risk their lives to squeeze any last dollar out of the industrial detritus. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">One freezing evening we happened upon the young men in this film, who were illegally dismantling a former Cadillac repair shop. They worked recklessly to tear down the steel beams and copper fasteners. They were in a hurry to make it to the scrap yard before it closed at 10 p.m., sell their spoils and head to the bar. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Surprisingly, these guys, who all lacked high school diplomas, seemed to have a better understanding of their place in the global food chain than many educated American 20-somethings. The young men regularly checked the fluctuating price of metals before they determined their next scrap hunt, and they had a clear view of where these resources were going and why. They were the cleanup crew in a shaky empire. Somebody’s got to do it. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">One of the men, who had come up from Kentucky to scrap after losing a job in a coal mine, stands out in our minds. Taking a short break from the action, he looked up and said with disgust, “All that’s left here are the remnants of what was.” </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1.467em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The next day we went back to check on the progress of their project. The entire building was gone. <em></em></span></div>

<strong>MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Liberty Square has been retaken. New York, get down there now! See below for Live updates from the ground.</strong></div>
<div style="font-family: Palatino, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Tonight, expect a General Assembly in Liberty Square at 7pm, a noise demo in front of the Manhattan jail at 9pm, regrouping en masse at Liberty Square between 10pm and midnight, then partying in the streets as we go mobile. <a href="http://occupywallst.org/article/occupy-2012-wall-street-new-years-eve-celebration/" style="text-decoration: none;">See here for full plans for the night</a>!</div>
<div style="font-family: Palatino, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
GAs, protests, and parties are also taking place at Occupations in Boston, Oakland, DC, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Nashville, Tampa, Bloomington, Toronto, Amsterdam, Tahir Square in Cairo, and elsewhere across the world. Find your local Occupy and come out if you can! What better way to bring in the new year than making a New Year's REVOLUTION?</div>
<div style="font-family: Palatino, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
If you can't make it out, find your local Occupation's livestream and social media accounts -- it's even better than watching the ball drop. New York livestreams have been intermittent. Try:</div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">NEW YORK has always been too big an idea to be rendered successfully in a single image: simultaneously cruel and generous, dazzling and demeaning, unbearably vibrant and — as it waits to see what path a tropical storm will take — suspensefully calm. But one thing that almost every New York moment has in common is a surprise of some sort. Some surprises are dreadful. An 8-year-old boy named Leiby Kletzky was supposed to walk the seven blocks back to his home in Borough Park one day in July, but he never made it. Other surprises were joyful. Same-sex couples did not go into the year thinking they would have the right to marry before the summer was out. Felix Ramirez and Peter Vargas of the Bronx had already been together 24 years by the time they were wed at City Hall. (Or at least near it.)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">As fall began, the name Zuccotti Park was familiar to only a small number of people downtown. By winter, it had become known around the world, as the Occupy Wall Street movement was emulated in one city after the next. And then there was that self-assured congressman who made no disguise of his mayoral ambitions or — it turned out — of other ambitions, either.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Any one of these images describe the New York of 2011. Taken together as a crazy quilt, they describe a New York that is simply timeless.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“To be fair, the scene in Liberty Plaza seems messy and chaotic. But it’s also a laboratory of possibility, and that’s the beauty of democracy. As opposed to our monoculture world, where political life is flipping a lever every four years, social life is being a consumer and economic life is being a timid cog, the Wall Street occupation is creating a polyculture of ideas, expression and art.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Yet while many people support the occupation, they hesitate to fully join in and are quick to offer criticism.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But what’s wrong with that? A fully formed movement is not going to spring from the ground. It has to be created.

The vacant lot has no facilities to sustain a winter encampment. In good conscience and faith, we strongly believe to do so would be wrong, unsafe, unhealthy, and potentially injurious. We will continue to provide places of refuge and the responsible use of our facilities in the Wall Street area. We are gratified by the support we have received from so many in the community.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 1.2em;">These are the shocking scenes that have led some people to accuse the Occupy Wall Street protesters living rough in New York's financial district of creating unsanitary and filthy conditions. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Elsewhere we found piles of stinking refuse clogging </span><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Zuccotti Park, despite the best efforts of many of the protesters to keep the area clean.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-size: 1.2em;">The shocking images demonstrate the extent to which conditions have deteriorated as demonstrations in downtown Manhattan enter their fourth week. Further pictures seen by Mail Online have been censored, as we deemed them too graphic to show.</span></div>

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<strong><em><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Come accaduto in Islanda, anche in Ecuador il popolo, guidato dal presidente Rafael Correa, si è rifiutato di pagare il debito. Una commissione appositamente istituita l'ha dichiarato illegittimo in quanto si trattava di un prestito che faceva gli interessi esclusivi di banche e multinazionali e non del paese che avrebbe dovuto aiutare. Un'altra lezione di cui tenere conto.</span></em></strong></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Parliamo di vulcani. E di eruzioni. Tempo fa, in Islanda, l'impronunciabile vulcano Eyjafjallajökull sbuffava nubi di ceneri bianche mandando in tilt i collegamenti aerei di mezzo mondo; allo stesso tempo il popolo islandese decideva di sollevarsi contro i poteri forti della finanza globale. Nell'altro emisfero, in Ecuador, da qualche anno si è risvegliato il potente Tungurahua - appena più facile da pronunciare, ma neanche poi tanto – proprio nel periodo in cui il presidente Rafael Correa dichiarava il debito estero che gravava sulle spalle dei suoi cittadini “illegittimo ed illegale”.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4054582661737900466" id="more" name="more" style="text-decoration: none;"></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In una sinergia quasi sovrannaturale, sembra che la natura e gli esseri umani si destino all'unisono, in varie parti del mondo, in un moto di ribellione verso i propri oppressori. Che a ben vedere, per l'una e per gli altri, sono i medesimi. Quell'elite finanziaria che controlla l'economia globale, possiede corporazioni e multinazionali, controlla le banche e gestisce i mercati, è responsabile da un lato dei maggiori crimini ambientali: emissioni nocive, fallimento dei vertici internazionali sul clima, deforestazione, disastri petrolieri; dall'altro della schiavitù dei popoli, oppressi da debiti immensi, privati dei propri diritti e della sovranità nazionale.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dunque è curioso vederli sbottare all'unisono, quasi che vulcani ed esseri umani siano due diversi strumenti nelle mani di un unico potente flusso vitale. Ma accantoniamo la retorica e andiamo a vedere cosa è successo. Dell'Islanda, e di come il popolo si sia ribellato ai poteri forti internazionali e abbia dato vita ad un percorso di democrazia partecipata, vi abbiamo già parlato tempo addietro. Occupiamoci dell'Ecuador.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Qui è accaduto che il paese si ritrovava schiacciato, da una trentina d'anni circa, da un debito pubblico enorme. Nel 1983, infatti, lo Stato si era fatto carico, di fronte ai creditori, del debito estero contratto da privati, per un totale di 1371 milioni di dollari, ai tempi una cifra notevole. Talmente notevole che nei successivi sei anni il paese non fu in grado di pagarla. Invece essa crebbe fino a raggiungere la soglia di 7 miliardi.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ora, i creditori erano principalmente istituti di credito statunitensi; nel contratto stipulato con il governo dell'Ecuador esisteva una clausola che prevedeva che dopo sei anni il debito cadesse in prescrizione. Ma il 9 dicembre 1988, a New York, in un atto unilaterale, venne abolita la prescrizione della totalità del debito. In pratica, gli Stati Uniti decisero che, a dispetto di ogni accordo preso in precedenza e senza consultare l'altra parte, l'Ecuador avrebbe pagato ugualmente tutto il debito, che intanto continuava a crescere. Nessun membro del congresso ecuadoregno si oppose alla risoluzione, che gli organismi statali nascosero persino alla popolazione.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Poco tempo dopo, sempre dagli Stati Uniti arrivò la seguente proposta: che il debito estero fosse scambiato con l'acquisto dei cosiddetti Buoni Brady. Nicholas Brady era ai tempi, siamo nel 1992, Segretario del Tesoro americano, e stava attuando il Piano Brady, che interveniva sul debito di molti paesi latinoamericani ristrutturandolo attraverso la vendita di nuovi bond e obbligazioni. Molti paesi accettarono l'offerta, che consisteva di fatto nel pagare il proprio debito contraendone un altro, sul quale sarebbero maturati nuovi interessi. Anche l'Ecuador accettò.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Le condizioni imposte da questo nuovo debito furono decisamente pesanti. Fra il 1992 ed il 1993 molte delle compagnie statali venero privatizzate. In particolar modo si stabilì che sarebbero state le risorse di metano e di petrolio a dover garantire il debito.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alejandro Olmos Gaona, storico ed investigatore ecuadoregno, ha dichiarato di aver personalmente trovato sia nel ministero dell'economia argentino che in quello ecuadoriano tre lettere: una da parte del Fondo Monetario Internazionale diretta alla comunità finanziaria, ovvero a tutte le banche; un'altra della Banca Mondiale; una terza della Banca Interamericana dello Sviluppo (BID). Cosa chiedevano? Di appoggiare il governo argentino di Carlos Menem, che si era impegnato a privatizzare il sistema pensionistico, a cambiare le leggi sul lavoro, a riformare lo stato e privatizzare tutte le imprese pubbliche, specialmente quelle riguardanti il petrolio.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nell'accettare il Piano Brady, l'Ecuador si impegnava a rispettare una serie di clausole molto articolate e piuttosto confuse. Ve n'era una, ad esempio, che fissava i termini ed i tempi per i reclami. L'Ecuador avrebbe potuto reclamare qualsiasi tipo di controversia legata al contratto a partire dal 21° anno dopo la morte dell'ultimo membro della famiglia Kennedy. Una clausola che suonava come una vera e propria beffa, volta ad impedire qualsiasi tipo di reclamo futuro da parte del paese.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Passiamo al 2000. I buoni Brady vengono sostituiti con i buoni Global, che aggiungono alle vecchie condizioni nuove misure di austerità e privatizzazioni, sotto pressione di alcune banche.</span> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I nomi? JP Morgan, Citibank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Lloyds Bank, Loeb Roades, E.F. Hutton.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Il contratto viene stipulato dallo studio legale Milbank.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lo studio Milbank – il cui nome steso è Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McLoy - ha fra i propri clienti, guarda caso, JP Morgan e Chase Manhattan Bank, e ha curato negli anni la maggior parte dei contratti sul debito stipulati dai paesi dell'America Latina. Ogni singolo contratto dell'Ecuador è uscito da quelle stanze. Fra i suoi avvocati più brillanti sono annoverati John McLoy, primo presidente della Banca Mondiale, William H. Webster, ex-direttore dell'Fbi e della Cia e giudice della corte dello Stato di New York.<br />I contratti venivano stipulati con gli avvocati dell'Ecuador negli Stati Uniti: Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen e Hamilton, uno studio fantoccio che si limitava a ratificare quanto già deciso senza mai sollevare contestazioni.<br /><br />La situazione è proseguita, uguale, fino al 2008. Poi qualcosa è cambiato. L'Ecuador si trovava allora in una situazione particolarmente difficile, con un debito gonfiatosi fino a raggiungere gli 11 miliardi di dollari, decisamente troppo per un'economia relativamente povera. Il presidente socialista Rafael Correa, in carica dal Gennaio 2007, prese allora la grande decisione.<br /><br />“L'Ecuador non pagherà il proprio debito estero, in quanto è stato contratto in maniera illegittima”, dichiarò davanti al mondo intero. Come poteva fare un'affermazione così forte? Perché nel frattempo egli aveva istituito una commissione d'inchiesta che srotolasse il bandolo della matassa del debito, che negli anni era andato crescendo e ingarbugliandosi sempre più. Dalla relazione di tale commissione sono emerse tutte le alterne vicende che hanno portato alla creazione e alla crescita del debito – le stesse di cui vi abbiamo parlato sopra. Ed una serie di dati interessanti.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">È emerso, ad esempio, che oltre l'80% del debito è servito a re-finanziare il debito stesso, mentre solo il 20% è stato destinato a progetti di sviluppo. Si è reso così lampante che il sistema dell'indebitamento è un modo per fare gli interessi di banche e multinazionali, non certo dei paesi che lo subiscono. La Commissione è quindi giunta alla conclusione che il debito estero dell'Ecuador è illegittimo e dunque non verrà pagato.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Da allora, potendo utilizzare le proprie risorse per la crescita sociale e non più per il pagamento del debito, l'Ecuador è andato incontro ad uno sviluppo senza precedenti; la popolazione sotto la soglia di povertà è diminuita di quasi il 15 per cento.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Nell'ottobre 2010 il presidente Correa è riuscito a scampare ad un colpo di stato militare grazie all'incredibile sostegno di cui gode da parte della popolazione. Da dentro l'ospedale in cui era stato rinchiuso dichiarava: “Il presidente sta governando la nazione da questo ospedale, da sequestrato. Da qui io esco o come presidente, o come cadavere, ma non mi farete perdere la mia dignità”.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dall'Ecuador, come dall'Islanda, ci arriva un messaggio di speranza. Il ricatto del debito, utilizzato dai poteri forti della finanza globale per imporre misure drastiche e impopolari - depredare così intere nazioni - può essere interrotto. Dell'enorme debito che grava sul mondo intero, solo una piccolissima parte è in mano a piccoli risparmiatori, cittadine e cittadini. La stragrande maggioranza appartiene ad enormi gruppi finanziari privati, che lo usano per alimentare e gonfiare all'infinito questo meccanismo suicida. In Ecuador hanno deciso che a questo debito, ingiusto, è giusto ribellarsi.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After four and a half hours of marching and chanting in 45 degree temperature, hundreds of occupiers at a picket circle in the port of Oakland roared at news this morning from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union that the blockade had succeeded in ending the day’s first shift of port operations.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The announcement came a little before 10 a.m. on Monday after port shutdowns had already been confirmed in Vancouver, Longview, WA, and Portland, bucking predictions by union management and the media that rank-and-file longshoremen would fail to stand in solidarity with Occupy’s West Coast Port Blockade.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I’m in support of the protest, I didn’t cross the picket lines, I’m part of the 99%,” said a tall, muscular dock worker named Deandre Whitten. “If we don’t work we don’t get paid, but I’m totally grateful” for Occupy’s action, he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The blockade began in darkness after some 1,500 marchers left the West Oakland BART station at 5:30 a.m. and walked on a rain-wet avenue for a mile until they reached the port. Splitting off into groups organized by numbered flags, the occupiers then formed circle pickets at four separate port berths located many hundreds of yards from one another.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Raising banners, flags and picket signs, and boasting funky dance moves while beating out rhythms on bucket drums, the marchers sustained hours of chants (“Whose port? Our port!”) as the chain of moving bodies far outnumbered the rotating teams of riot police assembled there, whose hands clutched belts and batons.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Not everyone celebrated the blockade, however. Mitch Forrest, a driver for Lopes Trucking Service, Inc., whose machine sat stalled with a 52,000-pound container filled with dog food bound for Malaysia, said truckers like him—not corporate behemoths like Goldman Sachs and Export Grain Terminal, the targets of Monday’s blockade—were the real victims.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“They cost me $200 today. I live check to check, I work 15 and 16 hour days, I got nine kids to support,” said Forrest, 45, a heavy-set man with a bristly orange goatee who spoke about the need to deport millions of illegal aliens to open up new jobs for “Americans.” The occupiers “say they’re helping us, but I don’t see how if they’re costing us our wages,” he added. “Explain it to a six-year-old why Dad didn’t get a check this week. We’re the little guys. I’m not a 1%er who can afford to lose a day’s wage.”</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But for Sophie Strosberg, who rode her bicycle to the blockade, the overall response from workers was far more encouraging than discouraging. “I was really worried about the people who work here not being happy about the blockade,” she said. Yet “we got so much more positive feedback than what the media has been pumping out over the past week.”</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Strong organization was notable at Monday’s march. Women stood out as primary organizers and coordinators, maintaining communication lines between occupiers at distinct locations throughout the port. Many weeks of logistical planning also went into the action, including a “centralized tactical team that sent reconnaissance and scouts moving throughout the port,” said Alex Schmaus, a picket captain who came over from Occupy SF.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In the mid-morning hours, as occupiers were awaiting word from ILWU arbitrators as to whether or not the port would close due to “unsafe” operational conditions, a text reached Occupy Oakland from the Local 21 longshoremen leadership, thanking occupiers for shutting down the Longview port in Washington State.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After the Oakland port shutdown became official, marchers returned to the city center and staged an afternoon rally at Oscar Grant Plaza ahead of their return to the port, where a second wave of blockades was scheduled for the evening.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Brian Gallimore, a 42-year-old landscape contractor originally from west Texas, said he got out of bed at 5 a.m. this morning and told his wife he was headed to the blockade.</span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I’m watching my relatives suffer. I’m watching the downfall of America right now,” said Gallimore, dressed in a sock hat, a black coat, jeans and work boots. “I’m a proud Christian man. I’m really ashamed of Christians in America right now where it’s a Friday-nightlight-Nascar attitude to win at all costs—where it doesn’t matter who in your community you’re hurting. I’m fighting to open my family’s and friends’ eyes.”</span></div>

stopped first at a house on New Jersey Avenue where couches and tables and
toys, torn and crushed and rotting in the wet December air, were the only signs
of a family’s previous life there. Next to the house, an old Jamaican woman
with a cane stood in the rain with a grin that engulfed her round cheeks and a
sign that read “Foreclose on Banks Not People.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Councilman Baron climbed the stairs of the home to speak. “Banks
take our homes, throw children and the elderly on the streets, then board up
vacant homes while people have nowhere to go,” he said. He motioned for the
crowd to turn around. Across the street, hundreds of little hands, some
clutching homemade signs, were waving from the windows of <a href="http://insideschools.org/high/browse/school/827" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-image: initial; border-left-color: windowtext; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 1pt; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 1pt; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; padding-top: 0in;">Thomas Jefferson High School</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">As the crowd arrived at a second property, located on Alabama
Avenue, a woman shouted with rage: “I cannot take it anymore! I need to speak!”
The crowd fell silent as she was escorted up the stairs of the abandoned house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The woman spoke of her inability to eat or sleep because
Deutsche Bank was about to evict her. She said she bought her home in 1997 with
a down payment of $80,000 and a monthly mortgage of $1,500. She worked hard to
raise her son and keep a roof over his head, putting him through Catholic
school and later college. Then he served in Iraq. He was killed there. Her
mortgage was sold and her monthly payment skyrocketed to $3,900.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">“What did my son die for?” she yelled as tears streamed down her
face. “My son died for a country that does this to its people! How many
families suffer like me? Don’t give up, Occupy Wall Street! Don’t give up.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The group’s final destination was a foreclosed property on
Vermont Street, left vacant for three years and now reoccupied by a homeless
family: Alfredo Carrasquillo, Tasha Glasgow and their nine-year-old daughter
and five-year-old son. The house was adorned with green and red holiday décor,
bright balloons and a huge sign that read “Occupied Real Estate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The crowd presented the family with gifts including a soccer
ball, a stuffed animal and a houseplant. Then Alfredo climbed a small ladder to
address the onlookers. “This moment is very special,” he said as his eyes
welled with tears and his voice crackled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="color: white;">Unable to finish his thoughts, Alfredo climbed back down the
ladder and wrapped his arms around his children who would be sleeping, for the
first time in three years, in their own home.</span><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Here, he writes about the remarkable experience and what all the revolutions had in common.<br /></em><br />It’s unique that I’ve been able to cover all these uprisings and revolutions during the year. I’m lucky—it’s incredibly complicated to understand where you need to go when you’re on the ground, and I was lucky to have a lot of help. The protests were well under way when I got to Tahrir Square in late January, and their size and scope took my breath away: in two decades of covering the Middle East, I had never encountered anything like this. There was huge fighting between the pro-government supports and revolutionaries. Some of the journalists were beaten. Some of them lost their cameras. They kicked me out, but I managed to get back in the next morning. I saw a lot of families—not just young men or revolutionaries—and everyone was helping each other, praying together. It was a great time. Everybody was waiting for Mubarak to make the right decision, and suddenly it happened. And it was so emotional: people crying, shouting, screaming…it was incredible. The next morning, it was over. The army was kicking everyone out. They weren’t friendly—there was a feeling of ‘You got what you wanted. Now, get out.’ Of all the revolutions I covered, Egypt was the most special.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">The mood at the Pearl Roundabout in Bahrain was very different from Tahrir Square. In the first days, I saw men in white robes approach police with flowers, offerings of peace: the response was tear-gas and live rounds. There was a huge difference between this army and the Egyptian army. People from Bahrain—there was no way they could even talk to the army who had arrived from Saudi Arabia. There was no way for me to get to Pearl Square, so a few journalists and I watched what was happening from the hotel. There was one hospital where all the protesters were gathered together. And then the doctors did something incredible. Not all of them supported the protesters, but they gave them shelter at the hospital and saved a lot of lives. I had a chance to go back to Bahrain after they demolished Pearl Square, and again a few weeks ago, and I saw young people who’d lost one eye to rubber bullets. It was just so sad, and I just saw some of them. I know there were many more.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">In Yemen, it was very different. There was no Facebook. Change Square was still packed, but the feeling of revolution was more religious, more conservative. There was an invisible border for protesters to stay behind, and the army would shoot anyone who tried to cross this line. I saw so many young people were ready to cross the line, marching to die. And around Change Square, there were hundreds of pictures of people who’d died. In Egypt, I saw protest signs and other things, but in Yemen, it was just pictures of young faces. Whether or not President Saleh will relinquish power, the political crisis in Yemen will likely remain acute, not only because of its tribal culture and topography, but also because of its deep poverty, high illiteracy and birth rates, and deeply entrenched government corruption.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">Libya was different because it was more of a civil war than a revolution. It was here that I took one of my favorite pictures of the year. It was taken on the front lines near Ras Lanuf, Libya. It was near an oil refinery factory that was important for both sides—both the rebels and government. I took this picture on March 11, when Gaddafi’s military could still fly, and they were flying around, dropping bombs on the rebels. It was really scary for everybody on the front lines—suddenly, you could hear the plane coming and the bombs hitting their targets. These men were the shabab, young people who weren’t professional fighters and didn’t have weapons or training. They’re not rebels, but eager to be on the front lines. They’re jumping because they heard the planes coming, so they’re running around trying to find any place to hide, which is hard because everything is flat and exposed. You can see from the picture that none of them have any weapons—they were scared—and it was just an incredible experience to be there.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">Beyond these main four revolutions, I also traveled to cover the protests in Moscow, Greece and Tunis. I came to the conclusion that each revolution must be assessed in its own context, because each had a distinctive impact. The drama of each revolution unfolded separately. Each had its own heroes, its own crises. Each, therefore, demands its own narrative. In the end, the differences between them may turn out to be more important than their similarities, however. And the common thing about all these protests is the number of young people who really want to bring changes to their country. That’s what’s most incredible. We have a new generation of people who are sick and tired of what’s going on. Call it the Jasmine Revolution, the Arab Spring or the Facebook Revolution, there’s a powerful Sirocco blowing across the world, and young people realize there’s another life and they want to live differently.</p><p style="background-image: initial;

A Spanish protester named Stephane Grueso brought his iPhone also, referring to it as a “weapon.” Some young Egyptian protesters brought rubber pellets that had been fired at them by security forces. Another brought a spent tear gas canister. Some carried signs, flags, gas masks (some industrial ones, some homemade, like Egyptian graffiti artist El Teneen—his was made from a Pepsi can). A trio of Greek protesters brought Maalox. Mixed with water, sprayed on their eyes to counter the harsh effects of tear gas. Molly Catchpole, the young woman from Washington, D.C. who took on Bank of America – and won – brought her chopped up debit card. Sayda al-Manahe brought a framed photograph of her son, Hilme, a young Tunisian man killed by police during the revolution. El General, the Tunisian revolutionary rapper, brought nothing but his voice – he rapped a capella for us (we have a video). Lina Ben Mhenni, a blogger from Tunisia and Nobel Peace Prize contender, brought her laptop. She was speaking Arabic yet we understood the words “Facebook” and “Twitter.”</font></p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;

After occupying scores of parks and plazas from coast to coast, Occupy Wall Street occupied itself early Friday, crashing a replica of its lower Manhattan camp that was the backdrop for an episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">Still fuming over the city's <a title="Dismantling of camp leaves Occupy movement in limbo" href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-occupy-future-20111116,0,5328113.story" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 98, 204); text-decoration: none; ">destruction of the original Occupy camp </a>in Zuccotti Park last month, protesters said the use of Occupy Wall Street's image by the TV show represented the sort of corporate exploitation the movement is trying to crush.

But the incident was likely to infuriate Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has made it a goal to lure filmmakers and television productions to the city. Just last September, he noted that a record 23 primetime shows, such as "Law & Order: SVU," were being filmed in New York City, part of an industry that supports 100,000 jobs.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">"This is where the best television in the world is being made," <a title="Bloomberg heralds film industry in NYC" href="http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.c0935b9a57bb4ef3daf2f1c701c789a0/index.jsp?pageID=mayor_press_release&catID=1194&doc_name=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyc.gov%2Fhtml%2Fom%2Fhtml%2F2011b%2Fpr330-11.html&cc=unused1978&rc=1194&ndi=1" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 98, 204); text-decoration: none; ">he said </a>at the time.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">That may have been true overnight in Manhattan's Foley Square, though not for the reasons the mayor had in mind. According to local media reports, the action began about midnight Thursday after the fake Occupy Wall Street camp was erected in the plaza, one of the (real) movement's favorite rallying spots. Occupy supporters, some carrying protest signs, made clear they weren't happy with the set, calling it an insult to the movement.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">It's not clear if the fake camp included all the staples of the original, from ear-blasting drumming circles to pet rats. But like the real Occupy camp, the TV set featured plenty of stone-faced cops. They eventually called a halt to the production and said the film permit had been rescinded for the time being.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">The incident was another example of Occupy Wall Street's ability to remain a thorn in the side of politicians and corporations, weeks after police nationwide began dismantling the camps that had grown in most major cities. In Boston on Friday, a showdown was looming after Occupy Boston protesters ignored a deadline to leave the camp there, while Phoenix police overnight arrested several protesters and began taking down tents at the Occupy Phoenix camp. </p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 20px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; ">And starting next year, Occupy Wall Street will be part of the curriculum at New York University.

In April, club-wielding policemen charged a peaceful rally in Union Square. Mounted officers trampled the protesters while several leaders of the movement were beaten and arrested.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">Then as now, official violence only boosted sympathy for the victims, and encouraged others to join the movement. Liberal opinion swung toward the radicals as the press denounced the brutality of the officers’ methods. The mayor attempted to curb the police department’s excesses. Within days, the police commissioner had been fired and his replacement entered office determined to protect the protesters’ rights of free speech. Allowing dissidents to voice their opinions, he argued, was the best way to ensure that their activities would not escalate toward even more violent tactics.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">The following Saturday, when anarchists again gathered at Union Square, the police kept out of sight. Speakers went unmolested as they decried the capitalist classes. Despite the heat of the rhetoric the rally ended peacefully. “There was no show of force at all, and no abridgment of free speech,” wrote Lincoln Steffens, the muckraking journalist. “It was an experiment in liberty, and liberty worked.”</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">Tolerance on the part of the police had stolen the passion from the protesters. Subsequent demonstrations drew only a few dozen people. Organizers were bewildered by the sudden change, but “Big Bill” Haywood, the leader of the radical Industrial Workers of the World, understood what had happened. “With the clubbing came the converts,” he explained, “and after there was no more martyrdom there were no more additions to the ranks.”</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">If events had ended here, they would have offered a comforting example of the efficacy of progressive policing and tolerant governance. But within weeks the newfound peace in the city was disrupted by external events. In late April, word reached the city that a long-simmering labor conflict in the Rocky Mountains had turned violent. Mine guards and militiamen, controlled by the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, had invaded a union encampment, killing a score of people, including two women and 11 children. The attack would become known as the Ludlow Massacre, and in New York it inspired hundreds of protesters to descend on Lower Manhattan.</p><div id="attachment_549" class="wp-caption alignright" style="margin-top: 4px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 15px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; display: inline; float: right; line-height: 18px; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; width: 275px; "><a href="http://occupiedmedia.us/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/upton.jpg" rel="lightbox[546]" title="Led by Upton Sinclair, the 35-year-old author of The Jungle, radicals determined to force the Rockefellers to accept accountability for the killings.

Armed detectives patrolled their property. Newspapers around the world reveled in the spectacle of their disgrace. “Thirty-six dollars and seventy-five cents have one billion two hundred million eighty-nine thousand dollars surrounded,” a Chicago magazine sneered, “John D. Rockefeller, the richest man in the world, and his son, John D., Jr., are today as close prisoners in their estate as are the convicts in Ossining penitentiary.”</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">Then, as summer began, the months-long protest fervor climaxed disastrously. Around 9 a.m., on Independence Day, a tenement building at 1626 Lexington Avenue – between 102nd and 103rd streets – erupted in a cascade of smoke and debris. The bodies of three anarchists were discovered in the rubble; a bomb they had been constructing had accidentally detonated prematurely – their probable target had been John D. Rockefeller.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">The broad coalition that had rallied to the movement quickly disaggregated. The police commissioner’s tolerant stance no longer appeared so enlightened. Suddenly, the administration found itself accused of recklessly coddling revolutionaries. Reversing course, the city began infiltrating and sabotaging the activities of radical groups. More conflict between anarchists and police would follow, culminating eventually in the deportation of Emma Goldman and the 1920 Wall Street bombing that killed 38 people.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; color: rgb(256, 256, 256); font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: justify; ">But the protests of 1914, which unfolded through a series of tactical decisions concerning the use of violence, potentially suggest a variety of useful lessons to today’s protesters and administration. In the end, however, tactics are secondary to the central issues at stake – the grievances of the demonstrators concern a social system that extends far beyond the jurisdiction of the mayor and police. However the current occupation of Wall Street ends it will have as much to do with forces beyond the city as with the tactical responses of local officials.</p><p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px;

Within a week, the protest had spread to cities across<br />Egypt, and the iconic square in downtown Cairo had again become a<br />space of war and protest, as protesters this time called for the end<br />of military rule, and a final toppling of the junta that ousted<br />President Hosni Mubarak left behind. Days of clashes between<br />protesters and Egyptian central security forces left more than 40<br />people dead and nearly 2,000 wounded, and let activists and analysts<br />to draw comparisons to Tahrir’s earlier days of fame, when thousands<br />of Egyptians occupied the square last winter to demand the end of<br />Mubarak’s rule.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">This latest unraveling came as authorities tried to clear the square<br />in downtown Cairo following a mass protest on Friday.

But the ensuing clashes only drove<br />more protesters into the square.</p><p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; ">Just days ahead of parliamentary elections on Nov. 28, the occupation of the<br />square became a lynchpin of debate between Egyptian politicians,<br />generals, activists and regular citizens on the best way forward for<br />a nation in turmoil.
