Relax, Everything Is OK

The 20th-century French novelist and philosopher Albert Camus once wrote: “At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.” For the unfortunate few deprived of the experience, a few megaphone-wielding British agitators took to the streets of London to make things clear.

“Everything you read in the mainstream media is 100 percent true,” “Please, go back to your jobs. If you have not got a job you are a worthless human being” and “Consume, consume, consume until we have no planet left to consume” are the first words out of the mouth of a man determined to expose the insanity of his increasingly commercialized society. And the Metropolitan police, whom he brands as a band of corporate gangsters that “go around fining people for saying words,” seem powerless to stop him. —ARK

                                                Wall Streets Reaction to the Protest
                                                                            Published by Mona under Solidarity, The Economist
Protesters came out in droves, flooding the streets surrounding Wall Street, all focused on the disaster striking the middle class, the poor, the unemployed and students. The prevalent wealth and capital accumulated by 1% of the country’s population created a vast gap in the classes which is harming our country; especially as they tighten the reins on the middle class. Regulations are being disregarded as unnecessary, green projects are smirked it, union rights are eradicated — yet all of the aforementioned would benefit us all — us, the Middle Class.


While protesters were being abused, beaten, maced, tased and intimidated by the New York Police Department, this is Wall Street’s reaction:

If this video doesn’t piss you the hell off, then you’re part of the problem.  Let them laugh now, because this movement is spreading across America. Soon, they will have no choice but to listen. It’s time to wipe that smile off their faces by not giving up – we are America.


While you’re out having brunch today, a reported 80 people protesting against the greed and callousness of Wall Street have been arrested — many of them for no clear reason. The reported abuse by police officers will only create anger, thus bringing more people into the fold to protest against the Corporations which thrive on the Middle Class.
