Occupy London Stock Exchange (LSX) Video
These protests are historic, beginning in Tunisia and whipping around the globe before coming to London. And the mainstream media are ignoring it. Why? Because, for example, the ex-head of MI6 is on the board of directors for the Sunday Times (Private Eye, October week 1 2011 edition). Now what is the relationship between corporations and our secret intelligence services? Look up Mosaddegh, first elected Iranian President 1953, and the role the CIA, MI6 and BBC had in ensuring the nationalised oil fields fell back into British and American corporate hands. Didn’t know that?… What else don’t you know?.. Starting to wonder? Even skeptics have to admit that Solomon’s sword never falls evenly.
Nearly a week later after Occupy London has started, I believe it is important to remind ourselves of the optimism of the first day of Occupy London, as a friend and I went to interview different protestors from a range of movements – the collective ‘movement of movements’. I never expected for solutions to be provided within the hours of demonstration, after all if expert negotiators like Eurozone leaders can’t agree on how to save Europe from another financial crisis or global leaders proving ineffective on setting any global environmental policy, I understand that Occupy London will also face these difficult endeavors. But, unlike supranational decision-makers, infront of St.Pauls Cathedral there is hope and a sense of necessity that is unparalleled.

This positive, peaceful and proactive demonstration was a credit to all who took part. This video aims to capture the thoughts, words and motivations of the protestors so that more people can understand exactly what they stand for. From this impressive and solid starting point, and with the key issues clearly identified, there is now a great sense of anticipation for the practical solutions and next steps that those gathered can generate. Patience and support is key.http://bit.ly/pmtY6u
