Repression of Wall St. demonstrators ratcheting up

[24107]

The United States is ratcheting up police violence and harsh laws against anti-capitalist protesters seeking to occupy Wall Street, says Chris Hedges, a senior fellow at the Nation Institute.

“The police presence (around Wall Street) is massive. I mean they have essentially turned Wall Street into the green zone. You can't enter it by foot or by car unless you go through police barricades,” said the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and the author of the Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle in a Sunday interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk.

Hedges noted that “the repression against those who were demonstrating is being slowly ratcheted upwards. The levels of police violence have become harsher and harsher.”

It's good that this is happening. Not many people are finding out about it, but enough that the awareness of wall street's power has expanded.

Picketing at the White House is meaningless. Picketing at Wall Street is a major threat. It's the people who control the money that have the real power in this country, and they don't want people to fully realize it's them.

Instead you should keep your anger focused on Obama or politicians. It's like the magic slight of hand happening.

There are some very distressing claims about this being made on facebook. It's upsetting that the mass media is not covering it.

the people who control the mass media simply don't want people to know what is actually going on.

 

[What if...?]

There are some very distressing claims about this being made on facebook. It's upsetting that the mass media is not covering it.

But completely unsurprising, if you simply consider who OWNS the major media in this country.
