Occupy NZ’s Gorgeous A9 Chalkupy Solidarity Slideshow: Pics From 3 Continents
Among the first countries to see each new day, Occupy New Zealand kicked off #A9 Chalkupy: Chalkupy The World, on Thursday, with members of the public chalking public and private space throughout the country.
The following is our first attempt at inserting a slideshow (rather than our usual slew of raw pics resulting in a kilometre long post), hope you like it 
One of the most positive changes for Occupy New Zealand post-evictions has been the continued international solidarity experienced by us and in which we have participated, in the chain of global solidarity action days.
From our May Day actions to Chalkupy, as several have commented, “it makes the world seem a lot smaller!”, and it also diminishes the differences between us, allowing us to feel akin to all humankind.
As we chatted with members of the public who stopped to admire our work, and handed out chalk to the youngsters soon swirling around us, each witness to the chalking was able to also feel that kinsmanship. We told them of what had happened to Occupy Los Angeles chalkupiers – and their faces fell. We told them of what we were doing in solidarity; their faces beamed.
One passerby was so excited to see the Syria image that he was exuding to his wife, “Syria! Syria! They know about Syria!” The relief and excitement on his face palpable.
For some people, the acknowledgement is profound. For their heritage, for the truth of what is happening in those countries, to be aired openly, is the first step in the ladder to fixing it once and for all.
Global Spring 2012 – The Call To Worldwide Action Is Out
takethesquare.net, a site inspired by the Occupy movement has put out a call for a global day of action on May 12.
The call is out to chapters of the Occupy movement worldwide to march in solidarity with the countries in which uprisings are currently taking place (Syria, Greece, Egypt, Tunisia, Iceland and India to name a few).

US & British Goverments Condemn Murder In Syria But Condone It In Palestine
The UN security council held a meeting to determine whether to stop the killings in Syria. Russia and China used their vetoes, blocking the UN from intervening. America and the UK have expressed their disgust at this…. which is, at best, hypocritical, when viewed in the wider geopolitical context.
#Monsanto Caught Illegally Planting GM Corn In India
Usual tactics from Monsanto, with more reports of illegal activity. One wonders if Monsanto will ever stop breaking laws internationally, for their own profit.

Monsanto has recently been kicked out of the UK due to mass protests resulting from the use of rBGH, a growth hormone given to dairy cows so that they produce more milk.

If Assange Loses Freedom of Speech Could Be Lost Forever
This month’s Supreme Court hearing in the Julian Assange case has profound meaning for the preservation of basic freedoms in Western democracies and the future of investigative journalism and the new media. This is Assange’s final appeal against his extradition to face allegations of sexual misconduct that were originally dismissed by the chief prosecutor in Stockholm, Sweden and constitute no crime in Britain.
The consequences, if he loses, lie not in Sweden but in the shadows cast by America’s descent into totalitarianism. In Sweden, he is at risk of being “temporarily surrendered” to the US, where his life has been threatened and where he is accused of “aiding the enemy” with Bradley Manning, the young soldier accused of leaking evidence of US war crimes to WikiLeaks.
The connections between Manning and Assange have been poured over by a secret grand jury in Virginia that allowed no defence counsel or witnesses, and a system of plea-bargaining that ensures a 90 per cent conviction rate.
It is sadly reminiscent of a show trial.

Anonymous Takes On Monsanto
Anon sends a warning to Monsanto demanding that they cease and desist their contamination of our earth; poisoning of our food source by using toxic pesticides; herbicides; GM Seeds utilising “terminator” technology (which renders the seed sterile after its first season); and many more grievances.
Their monopolization of the seed industry has led to thousands of farmers in India committing suicide where tactics of bullying and cruel legal action have been utilized to suck people dry of their livelihood and their ability to feed themselves and their families.
Monsanto… Expect Us.

John Key & His Cronies Profited From Irelands Downfall; Now Replicating It In New Zealand
John Key and his ‘clients’ were major profiteers of creating the same setup in Ireland as he is now trying to do here as soon as April of next year if National is reelected; creating an off-shore tax haven for corporations & creating the same temporary boom that leads straight into the next recession…
