Occupy Protesters Find Supporters In The Ranks Of The Wealthy

One of the ppl I saw speak at the first Occupy Auckland General Assembly was a successful property developer…which illustrates that even some of those who are financially thriving in the current environment, recognise the injustice of the system and are demanding change.

Here it is: what 1ZB didn’t say a single word about having happened on the news tonight: THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of Aucklanders marching in solidarity to Aotea Square for the first General Assembly of Occupy Auckland.

John Key Talks About Greed, Greed, Greed & Currency Traders.

Is this a joke??? “Prime Minister, John Key, dismissed the anti-corporate marchers as “out of step with the times”.

“We all know that markets move in clearly defined cycles of greed and fear,” Key said. “Sure, some professions – such as currency traders, for example – do particularly well during the greed part of the cycle.

“But what comes around, goes around, and we’re, I guess you’d say, in the fear part of the greed/fear cycle now and we’re just going to have to get on with it and build that cycle track.”

Doth my eyes deceive me? He seriously released a statement with the word greed in it three times, and the phrase “Such as currency traders, for example”? Lol…

People Arrested For Closing Their Bank Accounts

This is unbelievable. After 25 people who tried to close their bank accounts at Citibank were LOCKED IN THE BUILDING & ARRESTED FOR IT, a woman outside trying to get their names to pass on to the civil rights attorneys so they could get legal support is physically jumped and manhandled by half a dozen police officers. Shameful.
