On Sunday September 30th, renegade farmers once again broke into the Gill Tract to tend to acres of food crops planted throughout a three-week protest on the land earlier this Spring.

Sunday's farming-action follows several critical developments in the battle to defend Gill Tract agricultural land from a controversial University of California development project.

On Wednesday September 19th, Alameda County verified a "Keep Albany Local" petition for referendum against the Albany City Council approval of the UC development project. Two days later, on Friday September 21st, Whole Foods, the anchor tenant in the plan for commercial retail, announced that the corporation terminated its lease agreement with the University Regents. Two separate groups of Albany residents also have lawsuits pending against the City of Albany for its allegedly illegal approval of the UC Environmental Impact Report.

Because US media did not show you. Wouldn't want people getting any bright ideas, would they.

On September 29, the Spanish people surrounded their congress and demanded it step down. The country is 90% in debt (TO WHO!?) and unemployment is 25% or higher (50% for those under 30, via ermasdaughter downthread).

But just previously, they attempted the same thing on September 25.

WATCH THIS AND SHOW SOLIDARITY! @JFTAXI: Its very hard to watch this video from the streets of Madrid.

Youtube comment for the video beneath it:

They were police provocateurs buddy wake upp you see the same later in the video dragging off protesters.

The guys with the dark blue hoodies and red flags are provocateurs 0:06 same as 1:36 only here they drag protesters off to the van to get arested.

And they always in the front rows hitting the cops with the red flag pole to intice agression and give them an excuse to charge its all staged by the cops.

So the police did start the agression.

I uploaded a @YouTube video #29S Madrid protest recap




I've found one long sentence in Time Magazine, October 8 2012, "The Mormon Identity", page 14, "World":

"Meanwhile, anti-austerity protests rocked the Spanish capital yet again, as demonstrators marched on the country's parliament building and confronted police, leading to at least 64 people being arrested."

Food

As the vibration increases and the presence of the higher vibrational dimensions further opens our eyes, the concept of growing our own food at our homes and in community gardens becomes increasingly obvious. Growing so-called "superfoods" is a great way to maximize benefit from your work.

It is a good idea to store food types not possible or easy to grow, in ways beating temperature/entropy/insects and animals, and to learn how to preserve what you grow.

If the idea to grow food comes to you, please follow it.

Quebec student leaders want to spark national anti-Harper movement

http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2012/09/29/20245111.html

The face of the Quebec student protests, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, has embarked on a Canada-wide tour to inspire Canadians to fight against austerity measures as well as Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The seven-day speaking tour began Saturday in London, Ont., and ends Oct. 5 in Vancouver.

Nadeau-Dubois is joined on the tour by a former representative from Quebec student federation, CLASSE, as well as Ethan Cox, the Quebec correspondent for Rabble.ca, an online news organization.

More at the link, and that's good, because Harper just snuck through a secret deal with China:

New Federal Lawsuit Filed Against NYPD for Occupy Arrests – PCJF Challenges Unlawful Police Tactics

Occupy Wall Street ?@OccupyWallStNYC

From @InterOcc: New Federal Lawsuit Filed Against NYPD for Occupy Arrests PCJF Challenges Unlawful Police Tactics, ... http://ow.ly/2srIW1

http://interoccupy.net/blog/federal-lawsuit-nypd/

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) has filed a federal lawsuit on September 20th, 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York challenging the New York Police Department’s use of sidewalk arrests in which persons are targeted for false arrest based on their association with or proximity to dissent and protest. The lawsuit is filed on behalf of individuals who were falsely arrested on September 24, 2011 in the first week of the Occupy Wall Street movement, including one plaintiff who was subject to Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna’s notorious pepper spray attack on peaceful demonstrators.

The lawsuit, Sterling, et al. v. City of New York, et.al., Case No. 12-CV-7086 seeks to end the New York City police tactics of arresting people lawfully present on city sidewalks and the use of orange netting and police lines to conduct indiscriminate group arrests. The lawsuit also seeks compensatory and punitive damages against NYPD officers for the false arrests and Deputy Inspector Bologna for the pepper spray assault.

“It is evident from the mass use of illegal sidewalks arrests executed yet again this weekend during OWS demonstrations that this is an unlawful tactic the NYPD will use over and over again until a Judge declares this tactic to be unconstitutional,” stated Carl Messineo, Legal Director of the PCJF. “With this lawsuit, protestors are taking the offensive to stop it.”

Occupy Homes MN: Fannie and Freddie Day of Action

http://www.occupyhomesmn.org/fannie_and_freddie_day_of_action_in_washington_d_c?recruiter_id=67

A recap of our day of action at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac HQ in Washington, D.C. with allies from around the country.

On Thursday we began the day by shutting down Wisconsin Avenue in front of Fannie Mae HQ. It was inspiring to join folks from around the nation in this fearless protest. Homeowners, renters and homeless folks all joined in. Demands ranged from firing Ed DeMarco to principal reduction, to allowing vacant properties to be used as affordable rentals, to turning over vacants to community land trusts. Interesting side note: Sidwell Friends is a private school attended by the Obama girls. It's also directly across the street from Fannie Mae HQ. Some 4th graders peering through the fence were impressed enough by the action that they offered to join us. "...but we're kind of in the middle of PE." Most importantly, 5 brave fighters were arrested in acts of civil disobedience. All were released by the end of the day. Long live our 5 brave Freedom Fighters who laid their bodies on the line and led the way!

#S29 Surround the Congress in Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Brussels and Lisbon

http://interoccupy.net/blog/s29-surround-the-congress-in-madrid-rome-berlin-brussels-and-lisbon/

What’s up on September 29th?

Again, surround the Congress.

Why this date?

The idea was already in the back, 25th was tuesday, but 29th is saturday, Rajoy already talked bullshit in NYC and the goverment announced the new reforms asked by the Troika to get a new bailout. People are even angrier.

Moreover the 25th was a success and took the international attention to Madrid. The repression was incredibly violent and this put many people in our side.

Many organizers already talked about this scenario and it happened, it’s inside the strategy.
