Global WikiStrike 11.11.11
Decommodify the Commons, Build a P2P Economy, Reclaim Life, Peace and Justice on Earth
On November 11th 2011 at 11:11 AM GMT
We declare that we have no division among us, the people united. We are united as humanity and nature, one whole planet. We are ONE and we are here for ALL, including the 1%!
We declare that we need to take over the world agenda, to shape our future together, in a bottom-up, horizontal and egalitarian way! Let’s make real democracy a reality and put an end to the ‘ancient regime’ of the elite.
We call Occupy Together/Democracy Real Ya!/Take The Square/15O/15M Movements, Anonymous, LulzSec, WikiLeaks, OpenLeaks, Yes Man, Avaaz, The Zeitgeist Movement, Zapatistas, Water Warriors, Slum Dwellers, Street Traders, NetWorkers, Free Culture and information activists, environmentalists, unionists, feminists, anti-war activists, political parties, and all other like-minded groups and individuals from every country, to support this cause by engaging in law making processes within their nearest occupy assemblies around the world and linking your actions in the WikiStrike framework!
The current political alteration process can, eventually, replace current production, ownership and distribution relationships across the globe with fundamentally egalitarian ways of distributed, peer to peer economies through which we could protect the planet, realise justice and maintain peace.
In such P2P economies we could reclaim the Commons from the grip of greed. We could contribute to work needed to be done for collective good, not more than 4 hours a day. This way we could physically reproduce ourselves and maintain life for others. We could use the rest of the time to flourish and for self realisation. Today we have the material conditions to realise such transition.
In order to move further, we need time. We need to get back the trillions of dollars the 1% has stolen from the people and realise 4 hour work days and basic income for all.
It is possible and it is a more realistic response to the crisis the elite caused, we need this to be able to build and lead the transition towards P2P alternatives.
Today, we launch a world wide and continuous WikiStrike involving traditional industrial action as well as new generation media actions, leaks, hackatons, occupations, meditations, art strikes and many other creative and peaceful forms of self-expression to make this happen.
Understanding the world is not enough, we need to change it and we must to do it now!
Join the world wide strike and global demo on 11.11.11!
Reclaim life!
4 Hour-Work-Day and Global Basic Income now and for all!
People United
United as One, Divided by Zero
ALL 4 ONE ONE 4 ALL!
What is WikiStrike!
WikiStrike is an open ended and open to all form of strike different from traditional methods used mainly by unionised workers and aimed at improving working conditions and living standards by changing the behaviour of the employer or political ruler.
In addition to using the power we have in terms of the production process, with WikiStrikes we utilize the power coming from hyper-connectivity and the collective hyper intelligence/creativity we posses today in order to protect life, justice and peace -be it at local, national or international level.
All forces of social change can join in the global WikiStrike process and work in a collaborative way to achieve these objectives.
Occupy Oakland has proven that the WikiStrike is not only an idea, it is both possible and effective today.
Global WikiStrike 11.11.11 at 11:11 am
In November 2011, we are witnessing the rise of general strikes globally against the rule of the elite. An elite that has long time ignored the needs of the planet, the poor, the weakest who had to be protected the most. Rulers crack down and oppress people in order to save their unjust system. The globalisation of a totalitarian form of capitalism has started to attack ordinary people all over the world. The elite try to destroy all of the existing semi-democratic rights some of us had been enjoying.
November 2011 is the month we link all uprisings and dissent around the world in an anonymous framework of global general strike. This is open to all, all forces can participate and show solidarity in order to defend the rest, all of us. Creative minds across the world can align against the rule of the 1% and go on the offensive in this way.
Therefore at 11:11am GMT on 11.11.2011 we launch a Global and United WikiStrike against the ruling classes and their greed-centric corporations in order to enforce people’s sovereign laws and make real democracy, equality and freedom a reality.
We will build truly democratic social structures free from the domination of any class, elite or war lord, free from artificial borders and wage slavery. A world where production, distribution and ownership are organised through distributed egalitarian P2P cooperative networks and based on the commons we share.
We want a globally accepted 4 Hour Work Day without wage loss and Global Basic Income for those who do not work for money, right now!
We will demand this with art, meditation, prayers, industrial action, occupation, hacking, leaks and all other means of creative, peaceful self-expression.
GAs, individuals, groups, organisations, movements and networks joining the WikiStrike decide their target, objective and methods autonomously. Possible targets are top TNCs, transnational financial institutions, totalitarian governments, government bodies, state agencies, officials… Mass media, employers, firms, etc., who are not respectful to the planet, people, justice, equity and real democracy!
We will show the world that people are united hand in hand!

Scorpio Full Moon and 11–11-11
For more than 275 years, the city of Cartagena, Columbia was under Spanish rule. On 11-11-1811, Cartagena became the first province to declare independence from the Spanish Crown. This event is now celebrated all over Columbia because of the great influence it exerted on the process of liberation of the whole country.
Cartagena means La Heroica, the Heroic City.
On 11-11-1811, the planet Uranus was conjunct the Sun in Scorpio. This direct alignment emphasized battling for freedom and a new direction in life.
Now, 200 years later, 11–11-11 falls during the period of the full moon of Scorpio which can bring some added significance.
Eleven is a number of mastery. In Scorpio, the warrior battles for mastery over the mind, the emotions and circumstances. Three elevens; three levels of mastery.
Mastery is liberation from the forces of the past.

There are enough suggestions and visions around – an abundance!! We are talking, exchanging, seeing each other, listening, finding inspiration, sharing, inspiring others, practising democracy, sharing public space, etc, etc, etc… A r-Love-ution for Real Democracy through occupations, parties, demonstrations, General Assemblies, Talking Stick circles, etc, etc, etc. IT’S GREAT!!!
Compared to this, Greece was just a sideshow. Italy could blow Europe to pieces
Italy is the third-largest economy in the EU, and the eighth largest on the planet. Its outstanding debt of €1.9 trillion (£1.6 trillion) accounts for 25 per cent of all the debt in the eurozone.
Debt crisis: How & why Greece should exit the eurozone
Having been led down an ever-worsening spiral by the euro zone and its own government, Greece now faces two options, both of them painful: stay the course, or default and exit the monetary union.
Each presents difficulties and uncertainties, but in the long run there is no question that default, and a return to the drachma, offer the better chance of economic growth and employment.
How Papandreou and Soros orchestrated the Greek referendum and gained millions.
Greek MP Kammenos is the one who revealed in May the secret CDS purchase by associates of the Prime Minister Papandreou which is a betting on the collapse of Greece.
He revealed today that the failed Belgian bank DEXIA, in collaboration with the BROTHER OF THE PM, placed a huge sum of money in the fluctuation of Euro/Swedish Krona just days before the PM announced the referendum and the markets went haywire! Just another proof that the referendum was a scam by the PM.
Greece, home of democracy, deprived of a vote
Armed by Papandreou with a referendum, the Greek people had clout. Now, they're powerless before the troika's austerity plan

Paul Craig Roberts: Neo-Cons want war with Iran just like Iraq
Iran is being targeted by The International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA is claiming Iran is gathering essential materials to build a nuclear warhead. Some critics feel this is reminiscent to the situation when the US had "concrete" evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction but were never found. Is Iran trying to acquire nuclear weapons or is this another ploy by the Western powers? Paul Craig Roberts, former Reagan administration official and columnist, helps us answer some of these questions.

The US is a Police State
Review of Andrew Kolin, State Power and Democracy
The American Surveillance State Puts Orwell to Shame
Recently I published a relatively long article entitled, The invisible surveillance state: DHS and the end of America as we know it, which breaks down the invisible prison-like system that is the United States has become and how the Department of Homeland Security is diverting public funds into programs that would make Orwell’s Big Brother look like a joke.
More Chinese troops are deployed in PoK
Ignoring New Delhi’s concerns on the rising presence of Chinese troops in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, Beijing has gone ahead and added two more People’s Liberation Army battalions in the region last month. A classified report prepared by Indian intelligence agencies, details of which were obtained by this newspaper, said while one PLA battalion was posted at the Karakoram Highway Upgradation Project, the other was deployed at the crucial rail link project at Khujerab Pass.
Religious minorities put faith in Tunisia's democracy
Minority Jews and Christians are putting their faith in Tunisia's nascent democracy to ensure its new Islamist-led leadership respects their rights in this traditionally secular state.
New York Times honors American war criminal
Editor's Note: The insouciance with which the New York Times celebrates the life of the late atomic physicist Norman Ramsey, who died Nov. 4, is breathtaking. Accompanying their obituary (below), The Times published a photo of Ramsey signing the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki and killed tens of thousands of civilians, as if he were signing a birthday card. If Dr. Ramsey had been photographed signing the door of the alleged gas chamber at Auschwitz, the New York Times would have condemned him as a monster, but their laudatory obituary is oblivious to the horrors perpetrated at Nagasaki by war criminals like Ramsey, including Japanese children with acute radiation burns. This depraved indifference emanates from blind faith in the Allied dogma of The Good War, and the Talmudic mentality of Judaic-victim exceptionalism.
Jobless and Clueless: America's Delusional Democracy
When Americans who are the most victimized by our cruel economy still believe in something that is demonstrably no longer true, they are deeply delusional. They desperately want to believe in something once great about American society. The reality is that upward economic mobility has been destroyed, replaced by widely observable downward mobility. Some of the mostly younger jobless that have embraced the Occupy Wall Street and related Occupy efforts know the truth.

Smile! Get Ready for Tiny Police Uniform Cameras
The next time you talk to a police officer, you might find yourself staring into a lens. Companies such as Taser and Vievu are making small, durable cameras designed to be worn on police officer’s uniforms. The idea is to capture video from the officer’s point of view, for use as evidence against suspects, as well as to help monitor officers’ behavior toward the public.
