PRESS RELEASE: Occupy Sydney Celebrates 1st Birthday.
This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Occupy Sydney’s site within Martin Place, protesting 24/7 since October last year against corporate greed and pushing for economic and social justice.
Starting at 11am from outside Customs House in Circular Quay, Occupy Sydney participants and supporters from Wikileaks, Anti-War, Refugee and Indigenous Rights groups will march through the city, back to OccupySydney’s location outside the Reserve Bank of Australia, where the celebration will continue.
Keynote Economic speaker, Steve Keen plus recently re-elected Greens councillor, and long-term supporter of OccupySydney, Irene Doutney will be speaking along with crew members from the activist boat, the Sea Shepherd on recent events.
“OccupySydney welcomes all to join in our Anniversary Celebrations” said Occupy Sydney participant, Katie Sheppard. ” The day includes speakers and public forums on economics, sustainability, and affordability. There will also be live music, yoga classes, and free food provided by “Food not Bombs”.
OccupySydney has watched the appalling state of behaviour demonstrated here and abroad by politicians, banks, and the “1%” which shows more than ever, the relevance and need for Occupy to exist as a local and global educational and social movement.”

Rally again Obama’s thermonuclear WW III. The provocations against Syria, Iran, the Middle East in general, and between Japan and China, are each occurring in a global context. The breakdown of the financial system. The oligarchy is pushing for a thermonuclear WW III using any available hotspot. This would not be possible if the oligarchy didn’t have a tool in the Whitehouse. Rally at Sydney Town Hall Saturday 3rd November 2012, at 2pm.
Rally at Sydney Town Hall (CBD) this Saturday 3rd November 2012 at 2pm against the danger of impending global thermonuclear war.
The Syria “conflict” is manufactured. It is an attack on the sovereign nation of Syria by globalist oligarchical powers using the instrument of terrorism. This is part of the global drive towards a thermonuclear confrontation between Russia and China (as defenders of sovereignty for all nations) and the USA acting as a tool of the oligarchs. Historically, the USA’s role is defender of sovereignty and nation-building, but right now with Obama in the Whitehouse the USA is being used as a tool – and it was the same with the Bush presidencies. The intended global thermonuclear world world three (WW3) would kill off six billion people or so, and effectively spell the end of civilization – precisely what the globalist elites want. With the financial system collapsing, the power of the global elites is waning. They have a window in which to start their war, and the window is closing fast. Therefore, the danger is immediate.
Hi all,

Today marks 65 days since the last topic was posted on this site. The Occupy movement didn’t even last 18 months. It seems you were never “the 99%”.
Then why am I responding, if we aren’t still around?
We are still here – in fact, only 4 days ago, we stopped the NAB from evicting a family at Christmas from their family farm.
Sorry that we haven’t been posting here, majority of our communication is done via facebook, and other more personal means of communication. If you’d like to know where on facebook, I’m happy to send your links. However, I don’t think you’re much of a fan, so not sure it would be worth it.
But thanks for the daily ticker!
