It started last month with one encampment outside Saint Paul's Cathedral. Next came the expansion to Finsbury Square, a smaller but similarly active protest camp.
Now, Occupy London have unveiled their latest base, and this time they mean business.
At four storeys high and taking up almost half a street, this is the third of the Occupy London movement's locations, coming complete with a fully functional conference room and a five hundred seat auditorium. More significantly, this building is owned by the Swiss bank UBS, who themselves are no strangers to controversy.
In two thousand and seven, they were accused of heavily profiting from a controversial mortgage scheme in which thousands of British pensioners lost a total of around one billion pounds. They bought the troubled mortgages from another bank. At the time they said that it was an “entirely usual” transaction.
It was bailed out by the Swiss government just one year later. This building is one of its assets, and it's worth over fifty four million pounds.
Occupy London want to hold educational workshops and community events here. They've named their new space “The bank of ideas”, this concept was explained to us by one occupier.
After weeks of being told that their protest was going nowhere, those within the Occupy movement are seeing this as proof that they aren't giving up any time soon. They plan on hosting a conference of worldwide occupy movements inside.
Officially the building is now a 'legal squat', meaning that police are powerless to remove the activists from the building without first consulting the courts.
The City of London has already started legal action against the Saint Pauls cathedral protest camp. Although this is a private building and in a different part of London, its owners are likely to start taking steps to launch their own case against the protesters.
UBS bank today said that they were taking “appropriate action”. In the meantime, Occupy London is likely to squeeze as many events as it can into their limited occupancy time to take full advantage of their new found space.

Occupy Calgary draws several hundred protesters
Hundreds of people drummed, chanted and protested issues ranging from income disparity, capitalism and corporate politics to homelessness and fiat currency during “Occupy Calgary.”
They began their protest at the foot of the locked glass doors of downtown Bankers Hall on Saturday afternoon. After about two hours, a crowd estimated to be between 300 and 500 people marched to Olympic Plaza, where several vowed to camp out over the weekend.
Police said there were no arrests. The demonstrators had remained peaceful.
Following similar protests in cities across Canada, the Occupy Wall Street movement is drawing thousands of people across the world to set up campsites in urban parks. It began in New York in September; when protesters began a sit-in at Zuccotti park to object to Wall Street’s role in the 2008 financial collapse.
“There’s a high disparity between the rich and the poor in Calgary,” said SAIT journalism student Sarah Pynoo, 19. “We’re one of the richest cities in North America, but we have enormous homelessness problems.
“And there are thousands of people living below the poverty line and that’s worrying.”
The protest was rich with signs, flags and even a few raging grannies. One cardboard sign, painted in a dark silhouette of a mouse, featured a red mouth with the sign “corporate politics eats people.”
Some protesters tried to draw awareness to investment fraud issues in Alberta. Others on 9/11 truth, a return to the gold standard, and mainstream media bias.

The Occupy movement first began when a group of demonstrators gathered in New York's financial district on September 17 to protest against the unjust distribution of wealth in the country and the excessive influence of major corporations on US policies.
Despite the police crackdown and mass arrests, the Occupy movement, which grew out of the Occupy Wall Street movement, has now spread to many major US cities as well as to Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and other countries.

Occupy protests on Prairies draw hundreds; crowd includes seniors, children
CALGARY - Hundreds gathered in Prairie cities to speak out against a growing gap between rich and poor.
Among the crowd at the Occupy Calgary event were seniors, families with young children, students and even dogs.
Police estimate between 300 and 400 flooded a pedestrian avenue near shopping centre and several corporate head offices.
Adam Phillips, 26, brought along his six-month-old son, Sylas.
He says he doesn't want Sylas to grow up in a world that's run by one per cent of the population.
Protester Chad McKinley, 33, says he and his wife both work, but still have a tough time making ends meet.
McKinley says he considers himself one of the fortunate ones.
He says society was more fair during his parents' generation, and that the middle class has evaporated over the past several decades.

Die Occupy Bewegung ist ein Beweis dafür, das in kapitalistisch geprägten Länder die Menschen langsam Wach werden und erkennen, dass sie ihre Freiheit entzogen werden. Die amerikanische Regierung hat jahre Lang hinweg unter dem Vorwand von Menschenrechte eigene kapitalitische wirtschaftsintressen vertreten dessen profit nur einer Minderheit zugute kommt. Der Bevöklerung wird darüber hinweg getäuscht indem man auf andere Länder zeigt und sie zum Feindbild nimmt wie es bsp beim Iran der Fall ist.

Ron Paul: U.S. may try to occupy Pakistan - English

GOP 2012 hopeful Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) thinks U.S. troops will soon be on the ground for an occupation of Pakistan — and he said so on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Wednesday morning.
Paul called America’s relationship with Pakistan “an impossible situation,” where the U.S. hailed both its friendship with and suspicion of the country.
“I think we are going to be in Pakistan, I think that’s going to be our next occupation, and I fear it,” Paul said. “It’s ridiculous. I think our foreign policy is such we don’t need to be doing this.”
Paul said he had no inside information on Congress authorizing or ordering troops to invade Pakistan. He simply said based on U.S. history, he wouldn’t be surprised to see further U.S. involvement there.

You can get full audio at - http://www.afosa.org/lectures/muharram01.mp3
This introductory lecture commenced with a reminder of the purpose of the annual gatherings of the first 10 days of Muharram. These gatherings are a commemoration of the revolution of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (AS), the Saviour of Islam. Imam Husayn’s (AS) death was to prevent the distortion of the message of his grandfather, and to ensure the survival of the core tenets of Islam, which were being torn apart after the ascension to the Khilafa by Yazid ibn Muawiya.
This commemoration, besides providing a reminder of the events that occurred in Karbala, result in a spiritual rejuvenation. It is reported that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) said: “Surely Husayn is Lamp of Guidance (Misbaah ul Huda) and the Ark of Salvation (Safinatun Najaat).” The annual gatherings of Muharram help save the souls of those who are part of them.
In addition to this, the message of Imam Husayn (AS), being one of revolution against oppression provides inspiration for us to rise against tyranny and oppression. The call of “Hayhat minna zilla” (Woe unto the wretched (oppressor)” that Imam Husayn (AS) made resonates as loudly today as it did centuries ago. The commemorations of Muharram were part of the driving force that led to the overthrow of the despotic Pahlavi regime and led to the formation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This inspiration to fight against oppression continues today, and is reflected in the so-called Arab Spring. The Middle East is undergoing an Islamic reawakening, that has led to the uprisings against the tyrants and a reaffirmation of the core values of Islam. This movement is further inspiring others worldwide, and the size of the “Occupy” movement reflects man’s innate urge to fight all forms of oppression.
