all aboard it's full so i want to know hopes and dreams and you know. if there's one star wrong. it's an all out food fight night in washington d.c. major restaurants are trying to kick food trucks to the curb or is this a case of kicking them also grows the nation's capital because something about competition is a bad taste in people's mouths. and their clip they're claiming their territory in hopes of taking back the contrary. the occupy wall street movement is gaining steam once again after the protesters rallied

actually. we're showing you video here of austerity measures taking place and people taking to the streets in italy and greece we'll tell you more about that coming up. hey there i'm christine freeze out think you so much for joining us sorry about those technical problems we have it is friday and things always seem to happen like that on fridays but it's november eighteenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for his hour and you are tuning in right now to r.t. . so the occupy wall street movement today enters its third month yesterday of course marks the two month anniversary two months of demonstrations and occupations thousands of people around the world demanding a change to a system they say is dominated by an elite class who embody the ideals of wall street money power and corporate greed while main street continues to suffer yesterday also marking change in the movement two days after zuccotti park was

a raided by police and tents and large backpacks are no longer allowed inside so we want to take a look first this afternoon at the future of occupy wall street and what it will take for it to survive artie's on a saucer turkana reports of a couple. of human tsunami of tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of new york. hundreds arrested dozens beaten dragged and abused by police thousands more protests across the u.s. on thursday the feast of america's civil war against corporate greed and wealth inequality he called the park the place where occupy wall street was born looks nothing like it did just a couple of days ago officials were hoping that it would take the protesters and to the movement but this has backfired the day of action brought more people out onto the streets with more bigger than ever before it's absolutely a story we haven't seen something like this in america thirty forty years and its

history really itself at least in america will receive more than two months of its history making two months after all compiled last three kickstarted in the big apple in europe the stories decided to kick protesters out of their camp bloomberg expose themselves as the clueless out of touch third world dictator that he would like to be this forceful addiction only added more fuel to the fire the way that we were sort of discarded like trash that our civil liberties were really run over by our billionaire mayor has galvanized a lot of people another more powerful street. occupy wall street art be careful and over the city. we are absolutely true i think what happened was we showed the world that we are strong we are not. by what's going on and we want we want solutions protester see the lack of the camp the presence of police violence and the fact that officials remain deaf to demands only empower them more. which

is. really. their desire to stick by each other is now stronger than before a big. thank you for our research and. a new jaunt for the occupy wall street movement as a group on the rise is that you churkin are. all right another question related to the occupy movement is not just what will happen but how it will be covered by the media while it's a few weeks for most media outlets to stand in the camera crews to cover occupy wall street as a serious movement even when they did i had their own interpretations their son hannity on this on his cell on fox news channel last night we are dealing with hard now part of the global socialist movement what are we seeing here by a lens great. destruction of property sex and public national patient and public naked people drugs drug paraphernalia you know and he american is an anti semitism

anti capitalism. well there are many people who say when the mainstream media does cover it they have it all wrong they haven't put in the time or the effort to understand what occupy wall street is all about among those people actual camejo founder of point on me. hey i saw you recently wrote a column and it appeared in the huffington post and you say you know referring to the media that their interest is to present a lazy disorganized unclear isolated small i think we monotone movement one of which they advocate is bound to quickly dilute so why do you think the mainstream media have an interest in as you say diluting it well we have to see the first and foremost who is mainstream media i mean the clip that you showed from fox news pretty much says it all the corporate interests behind me and stream media is obviously against their interest in percent what the actual movement is all about

is very interested that often they say you know the movement does not have a clear message when time and again we're seeing big sides and big statements from those same occupiers how did the clear message goods the interest is obviously opposed to what mr media is all about which is run by the same corporations and the same wall street interests that occupy wall street is fighting i want to play one more example that we can talk about in a second this one is a little bit less in your face now this happened in los angeles it was actually a reporter with k.t.l.a. who was appearing live on c.n.n. . and we have to get this country the people as well because this was voted on is exactly what we have to do is they should bring the jobs back to america and make sure that there's justice done misconduct do they do see anybody who's going to say they're not in favor of jobs my question to you is this does this type of approach is really achieve anything at all other than just rushing

drumming and making it harder for people to get to their real jobs those are still doing a job all right what do you say that they were this reporter says this protest even anything other than you know traffic jams and preventing people from getting to their jobs what do you say to people who may agree with their message but not with them not fact. i think that they have to see things in a larger perspective right in what the movement is all about the movement is all about representing the majority of the people who do not have the voice to be represented on the daily pieces it covers what is most said as the ninety nine percent so i think that the methods are pretty much in line with the message and i think those that question the methods really have a problem with the message in the first place i think of the clip that you show it's more it's clearer that the interviewer has a problem with the message and is trying to attack the methods by which the message is delivered and that's essentially what the problem in general another line that

we often see is how the movement is not diverse that trying to pigeonhole it as it only lazy disorganized white kids as rush limbaugh. mentioned in one of his audio cast and one of his radio shows when in reality those there are the rules that are diverse as as we've ever seen it before and they represent a larger scope but there is a political agenda to fight back against this growing and room movement and the issue is the more the bad political agendas and advance the more that they try to quiet the movement the more they try to isolated the group the bigger it grows and the more in the stronger grows and we know that they're not going to stop the motivations there of the movement is real the message is clear and the diversity is very clear with a fairly it is interesting when you talk about the messaging war and what these some of this corporate media as you call them they're trying to win a war by making these protesters out to be you know that sort of pigeonholing and

to a very small group as a what do you think about what many are calling stage two of this movement occupations were previously you know sort of the embodiment of this movement now that many of these occupations have been dismantled many of the people no longer allowed to camp out some are saying this will dismantle the movement altogether are saying it will simply drive it into the streets what do you think. absolutely what we're seeing and in fact this is the representation of what we've seen last week the more that you're trying to push the movement out the more that the movement is actually going to organize and it's going to create more avenues to release the liver the message so maybe you're not going to see camps where you're going to see more protests you're going to see more actions you're going to see more targeted approaches you're going to see people move from one set of organization to another set of mobilization and i think that's very important and the key here thing is not that because they're in one place and because they have been dispersed that this movement is over that it was only about is sort of occupation but this movement has

a real interest and real inertia behind it there are particular messages that have to be the lippert and as long as those messages and that action has not changed. the longer that this movement will continue and israel create as i know you're in los angeles we saw yesterday this two month anniversary i was out of a one a in d.c. about two hundred people came out thousands in new york what are you seeing happen in los angeles. we're seeing about pretty much the same thing we had a protest we saw approach also yesterday we're going to blog one of the avenues. avenue downtown again showing that the movement changes right because the occupation they're threatening with also dismantling the occupations of the message to it is that we still have the set of goals and objectives and an item's that we

want to push for and as long as they're not met as long as we're not heard you know we're going to continue acting to promote that message in bet's essentially what's a whore this whole issue of this whole debate is that as long as the message is long as the points that the greed that the abuse that the manipulation by wall street and scroll news have have really impacted our society and have really created this huge huge gap between the one percent and the ninety nine percent the more that they fail to recognize what is at the horror of those values the more that they cease to ignore what really is behind it and the longer that this movement will continue in all of its capacities maybe we'll not see it we won't see occupations across the cities but those protests on my main target approaches those those might mean mobilizations and as we go into arab intentions to we're tired we are out of time for sorry to cut you out there but i do want to thank you for

joining us and our life ended with africa founder of. well it's not just here on the streets of the united states massive protests have also shaken wrong in athens them and traders they're angry at their new leaders mario monti and italy and lucas papademos and greece they call them euro crap and the instability in both countries has some worry that any wrong and the wrong move could mean the end for the entire eurozone both countries are seeking stability through a ruthless spending cuts but as r.t. correspondent sarah firth found out some say unrestrained are staring equal actually carry i have to price tag. students flock to the streets across italy greece because of protests ringing loud and clear accusing what they call bankers governments and the economic situation displacing. young it is the problem. talk with people close in age with me.

they feel alone these students have a lot to be unhappy about the dire economic situation has seen youth unemployment hit crippling levels in the struggling economy and the spike recent political labels in greece and italy if the public and the markets remain unconvinced that is viable solution has now been found here as a need are struggling to get a handle on the crisis we come back to school with the university of the carter to speak from a younger crisis economic minds in the country find out what they think should be done. about. growth in the stagnating economy says people of the major challenges in an age of

the e.u. imposed a. technocrat government is now firmly in place mary monti and lucas. renda naively with their experience to face the tough challenges ahead but it's sixty eight and sixty four respectively spring chickens with an aging clisson class or around then there's the seemingly little room for the younger generation to have their say and the future. of the future we have to. crudes young people and major criticism since the beginning of this crisis has been the inability here as a leaders to react quickly to the shifting economic circumstances and to adapt the

eurozone future could well now rest political old guard embracing a new approach so i think. so far seeing as i like to look at what's going on in l.a. and grace and what some comparisons with the occupy wall street movement here in the us in all phases it's started by people who feel powerless living in a system controlled by the most wealthy and powerful one percent they feel the only thing they have left is their voices and their dedication to protest and that any need to question whether or not their actions will be enough to bring about the change they're looking for and let's talk now as holograph founder of wide awake news dot com. has harley do you think those comparisons are a fair one between what's going on in italy and greece and what's going on here in the u.s. absolutely i mean absolutely it's a venture protest. and i think once the occupy movement realizes. that they are protesting against the same people that the tea party movement was

protesting against you know since two thousand and eight that parallel needs to be drawn and it needs to be shouted from the rooftops because the occupy movement here you know is talking about going after the to be to fill firms on wall street but the party movement is talking about it too much government but the the message that needs to be delivered to all the people in occupy and a tea party movement is they are absolutely one in the same so the people who are protesting wall street right now they are protesting the government and vice versa so if you look overseas and she was people are protesting there it is the implementation of banks to rule over the factories you know your report talks about mario monti and pappa demons right these are banks are puppets detected demas comes right from the european central bank to replace the prime minister of greece because the prime minister of greece had the osce audacity to put

a referendum for his people if they were going to accept this bailout deal or not within two weeks he was gone and we have the banks that are in there if you look at mario batali in italy his track record he is all. also a big republican he's the head of the european trilateral commission he's a builder berger he has the right pedigree to work on behalf of the this is why people are in the streets around the world so you're saying you know if i want to be recalled call it scapegoating or resign it'll increase they saw that sound up and down i said ok we're going to get two people in who actually know how to fix this who know what's going on you're saying the opposite you're saying that these leaders were actually speaking for the majority of their people and now they've been replaced by leaders who are have a much closer ties with sort of the one percent and those countries they are the one percent these are banks to beat i mean they come from their community i think the legitimate president ister barely stony in italy he is like he was under

tremendous pressure to do something on behalf of the banks to make sure they would realize a lot of the same thing inside of greece and we can't even imagine what was said to them behind closed doors especially in greece when they were going to put it through a referendum vote the proof is in the putting look what we have right now we have. the leadership being completely decapitated from these countries and we have interim. in there so they can do the bidding of the thinks well let's contrast them for a moment what we've seen in these two countries certainly we saw a changing of the guard a change in leadership as a response to the financial crises in both those countries what about what's happening here occupy wall street still of course in its very young stages only two months whistles are allowed messages becoming more clear what about how our government here in the united states has been responding to the so that you know in some respects a lot of people in the alternative media community don't like the word democracy but in some respects europe is more of a democracy you know there are more of

a democratic situation going on in europe than we do here they don't have to worry about their decapitating leadership in the united states because they've already called up your government you know we have five hundred thirty. members of congress between the house and the senate and what are we talking about today we're talking about this super committee of twelve slashing and burning the budget and we this does occur when the pendulum swings from the left to the right into perceived left right battle we're going to see massive posteriori that these senators and congressmen are going to be look throw their hands up in the air and say i didn't have anything to do with it because it was an automatic cut if we couldn't come up with a deal in the supercommittee then these cuts are going to be in place so it least inside europe you have these seventeen e.u. nations that have a voice and what we're finding out is if a boy isn't lining up with the banks they're gone. let's talk about the super super committee i mean in some senses and the super committee came about because the left and the right as you say i think i'm a little bit are of trouble first raising the debt ceiling dealing with budget

ensues so the supercommittee is from a lot of things that we've seen happen especially in the last year or so have happened as a result of our perceived crisis here and yet as we i know you've spoken about this a little bit the result of crisis governing talk a little bit about what you see as some of the biggest issues with us ok well great point and you're absolutely right you know for three years we've been dealing with this government by crisis we're going to republic we're not even a shoddy democracy in this country we govern for the next crisis if the crisis is the financial markets are going to freeze up if we don't bail out the too big to fail we get it the last time congress represented the people of this country were in september of two thousand and eight when they were the no vote in the bailout we saw terrorist financial terrorist activity occur from that point forward so these bankers and these two going to feel firms could get everything they want and they do this by governing by crisis the exact same thing we see going on inside of

europe we need a crisis we let it escalate so we can get rid of leadership so we can implement austerity and if we think in this country that it can't happen. then we need to wake up because it is out and we don't have representation anymore that is why people are in the streets that is why people are so frustrated and we have unfortunately a mean stream media that's in the back pocket of these corporations they're not showing that message of the occupy movement they're showing they're picking the least eloquent person they could possibly find to put in front of the camera and then the wreaking all kinds of puns and jokes about these people but it isn't a joke main street is literally with the ring and dying on the vine in this country and in europe people really do feel like they have no other alternative if they want to redress of their grievances they're going to have to take to the streets that is where the world has been led to and that is where we're at it is so interesting charlie when you talk about this governing by crisis and every time there seems to be a deadline here in washington it never gets done before it's always held the last

day and it's often sort of blows up and everybody stay says telegraph founder of wide awake news dot com thanks so much thank you and when we talk about big business and powerful people wanting to make sure they stay that way we found a pretty interesting example right here in washington d.c. there is a battle brewing between some of the big established restaurants here and a new way of dining it has become quite advertising to so many talking about food trucks it's hard not to see them these days parked on the curb and it's not every quadrant of the city and there is literally something for everyone but not of some of the more established people have their way i wanted to look deeper into this here's what i found. are you was sixty seven dollars into. a little life among. friends or is your baby right you could call it a restaurant on wheels we haven't been to all that and pumpkin they call it

a traveling coronary carnival which i do a little song and that's. the brothers is the first ever food truck in washington d.c. and they were in the business i'm pretty unhappy that the photo brothers served their first batch of korean happiness on january twentieth two thousand and nine the day of president obama's inauguration and have been going strong ever since before the purchase i have twenty one with the butter chicken in the lentils from california so we had a truck but nothing like that eco indian food truck wednesday and we'll check out sweaters to make sure they're here we come down in lines a little bit long but it's totally worth it while it started out as a lone soldier in the food drop world has now become a small army it's estimated there are now eighty food trucks in the washington d.c. area alone and with an average of about five people working on each that is more than four hundred jobs here there are jobs that are now under threat i people

working and a more traditional and well established restaurant community and we are involved in a lot of those cases an old fashioned david and goliath conflict according to attorney bert gall he's leading the effort to put a stop to brick and mortar restaurants trying to put the brakes on their new mobile competition ultimately it's about the little guy the entrepreneur who is he has fought so hard to start a business and all those faces a challenge from some of stablished puppy you know politically connected powerful competitor who wants to squash the entrepreneur he says it's a trend that now spreading across the country in raleigh north carolina food trucks must park more than fifty feet away. from restaurants that are not allowed in the downtown area in new jersey there is a one hour duration restriction and trucks must operate one hundred feet away from one another and three hundred feet away from brick and mortar restaurants roving restaurants or vamp all together in the old town district of california all of our

cases involve small entrepreneurs who was hopes and dreams you know hang in the balance because stablished political interests want to stop him from competing stop him from entering into the marketplace there's been several police and we had businesses. so much pick the police thought by being like they're not supposed to park there are you need to move every two hours because the meters are two hours even though everyone knows that if you put more meat money in the meter you can say that for now those in washington d.c. are safe as the back and forth legal battle plays out behind closed doors into lots of talk i've been to three of the hollow trucks the wonky d.c. barbecue with the other one was the korean taco. and the crate truck or if it's a kosher deli on wheels you desire or mac and cheese cheesecake and they're all here we can get. decent food trucks is

a very washington social phenomenon because we get to enjoy each other's company while we attain the food but we get to avoid the social anxiety and waste of time of actually having to share it with. a phenomenon now under threat by those whose hunger for power may prove greater and the public's new found out a tight for competition the seven hundred us with our counselors in washington d.c. christine freeze out our team. bowl of friday edition of the capital account is coming up next let's check in with laura lester to see what is on time hi there lauren what you got cooking for us and we have a great show can forget all about financial warfare on this friday edition of capital account we had the pleasure of being with max kaiser host of the very popular kaiser report on r.t. to break down how he sees this financial war because of course he says he's on the front lines reporting on it so he certainly is he was in london he joined us earlier and you know we'll also talk and the global because gerald celente who was
