Breaking News: @punkboyinsf verifies to PaleoRadio that officials in London have declared Occupy London to be a terrorist group.
The freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom to petition the government for a of grievances – basic and fundamental tenants to democracy and freedom are under attack.
And what is telling about the London officials’ motivation is who they told. Not a memo sent to citizens, not a press conference to inform the public of this dismantling of freedom. Instead, according to The Guardian, the elected officials sent the advisory notice to the business community – clearly indicating to whom the elected officials really serve.
“An institution that confuses active citizens with criminals and equates al-Qaida with efforts to re-imagine the City is an institution in grave danger of losing its way.” Statement from the Occupy London camp.
What do you think of this declaration by London officials, what are the implications for Occupy around the world and what does it mean for democracy if this declaration is allowed to stand?
