While "occupying" the doorstep of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Oct 15, 2011 this speaker reminds us what the now global "Occupy" movement is all about:
"Everywhere on earth we a suffering from rulers....It doen't matter what kind of ruler you are - a holy man ruler, a military dictator, a corporate lawyer, a politician. If your making decisions for other people, you're a ruler and you gotta go. We don't have time for you anymore!"
These comments were followed by cheers of delight and agreement. It'll be fascinating to discover how the "Occupy" movement will remove the world's "rulers"....peacefully.

Safia Arias of the International Socialist Organization: Occupy, the World!
![]() |
| The end of freedom of you've come to love it! |
"We're here today to protest the last ten years of war and slaughter...by the 1% of society in our name. We're here today because these horrors did not end when George Bush and his cronys got out of office. We're here today because the Democrats refused to end the wars and end the slaughter when they earned a super majority in 2006 and the White House in 2008. Since Obama's administration was elected on an anti-war platform...Obama has refused to shut down Guantanamo Bay...why is the highest politician in office not standing up for the 99%...It's up to us to end these wars because no one else will do it...this system needs to be ended so our children don't have to live on a planet that's slowly getting annihilated.."
At the end she tells the 1% where they can go. Ask yourself: What happens when all the "Occupy" movements around the world decide to put their words into action in the manner described above?
