2:31 am
now the occupy wall street movement protesting against what it calls a corrupt global economic system and corporate greed is planning a general strike in the us next we talk to a london occupy activist who says the group is only gaining momentum as more people understand they're being robbed by their governments. well here are some polls cathedral in london from where the occupy the london stock exchange me was fairly recently effected the movement appears from where i'm standing to be on its last legs but luckily jamie can see from all the pylons and it's hard to convince me otherwise jamie thanks for talking to us today now you said yourself a nice to feel it to this place is almost haunted the tents used to be right that just where you are standing is the occupy movement dead absolutely no it's obviously one of the things of the comp moving is that we're allowed to put
2:32 am
a lot more energy into the movement itself was actually becoming very difficult to sustain the kind as it becomes very large if you bear in mind that five months ago none of us the way the count would last this long was still developing our ideas of how to move forward how to use outreach to the movement to generate solidarity and otherwise really of reaching into the public consciousness to get across very simple. social environmental and economic justice so we've only just begun in that sense for that it's no coincidence that we are headed in one of the financial hearts of the london stock exchange just not very far away from here it's all bankers all still being paid that bonuses we hear about in the newspapers every day the one percent appears very much to be still in charge have you had any impact absolutely i think that there's been some measures by the government because we have such an influence on the public view of the financial system that there has been you know a leading banker who's had to turn down his bonus and. so phrase
2:33 am
was made to turn back is no way to set up but i think that these are just palliative measures i think that the government realize that there's a lot of public support for the issues that we're raising awareness about and so they've taken some measures to make it look as if they're doing something you're absolutely right in terms of the one percent remain the one percent that's completely on top. also if you bear in mind the fact that last year of the hundred top foot say the average high royce's forty one percent this is everything is business as usual you're absolutely right but what's different is people are now where about this people are now entering this dialog and they're beginning to challenge the assumptions challenge for a very very long period it's calling which is that we continue with such an unsustainable undemocratic unjust economic system safe occupy looks kind of like a sort of for that party for people who have something to lose. so people in the ether willing to sacrifice you know to see the chief goals it's probably interesting question actually people are sacrificing their jobs their relationships
2:34 am
not by attention many people lost their homes i've never been in a movement where people have that dedicated the general portrayal of us as being people who you know job on the dole losers is absolutely. the opposite to the reality the reality is that a whole spine of people from across the general public have been motivated to dedicate themselves one hundred percent solution now this is means that a very small proportion of so actually experienced activists and by far the highest amounts of us are people who just from order to life have gone that i want to make a stop and we have to do something about this unsustainable system and this is the movement for us to do that. since he came to this area let's talk a bit about your goals a lot of people seem to have a very limited understanding of what you're actually trying to achieve to take me through it is ok when we took this space so much of the fifteen. i would appear to forty eight hours when about three and a half thousand people took part in generating what was called our initial
2:35 am
statements really within forty eight hours made it very clear well we're here because are some of the more obvious ones. questioning what we see as an unsustainable economic system and on democratic economic system. a political system that seems to be working with profits before people it's intertwined with the corporations. we also question the idea of regulated both days being managed by the people that meant to be regulated we also question the idea that perpetual war for resources is something that's going to destroy the planet so we made it very clear we now use our ideas to the rules you know within forty eight hours an economic system based on infinite growth but which relies on for not resources is frankly absolutely embarrassing let's broaden this out space and talk a little bit about the global economic situation if you like through the prism of you and me and the european project is constantly in the papers and it looks like it's on its last legs how do you see it playing out so that we see that as when i
2:36 am
say way i mean i'm speaking as a member of occupied but it's very clear from the movement from the beginning that the economic system is on its last legs the global economic systems on its last legs about knowing months ago now we have a leading triage on the b.b.c. news lawyer who said very clearly that governments don't rule the world goldman sachs does so it's very clear that what's happening in europe what's happening in greece is is just a symptom of this disease and this disease is going to continue to get worse unless we actually as as people as a grassroots movement actually take control of the cells of this economic system that's been run by very few people and it's just gone completely out of control by funding about this gentleman who was saying that goldman sachs rules the world if he was reveling in it he apologized for it but he was reveling in it because he said if you understand the situation you will know how to make a huge amount of money out of the global collapse now for any human being to be in a situation where they can benefit shoot. from the suffering of the millions and
2:37 am
millions in the world we should be embarrassed of being part of that site and human rights and we should be embarrassed if we sit by and do nothing about it seems to me like occupy would be in support of bailouts of countries like greece and thinking about. is that kind of a very interesting question of i'm not even on one person in it but i actually are not sure that the movement would support by laying out exactly where we're standing at the moment was the famous tent city university and we had a evening of solidarity with grace and there was about fifty greek people rammed in here and it's a fascinating noise and they kept going back to a very interesting point we are in a third world war and it's an economic war and the weapon is debts and it was a fascinating thing to say about revolutionary fries there i think the movement is moving more towards a revolutionary solution to the situation we're in rather than
2:38 am
a reformist but there's still a lot of balance balance between the three but i think it's slightly slightly revolutionary now if you look at revolutionary it's much more to do with the dispensing with with open eyes actions like the i.m.f. dispensing with all of these organizations that have rules and regulates that the way the finance of the world is run because we believe it to be completely corrupt completely in the pockets of the people i meant to be regulating and moving out and the same with governments that completely intertwined with all these financial decisions they have an ear for corporations they have an ear for global financial institutions much much more than they have and if the people of the country that meant. looking often support sat in the situation of what's happening in grace and then coming out with a statement the third world war is here and this is an economic war and that's that weapon is debt that really rang a bell with a lot of people. if you look at iceland now there's something that's quite inspiring in a sense that they absolutely ignored what i've been told to do they didn't go for being bailed out in any way in fact at the moment they crowdsourcing their
2:39 am
constitution themselves they dispense with all the leaders they believe to be corrupt and were banging their saucepans just like in knowledge and so you know until they had a leader they believed in and they go much further they're actually now chasing and wanting to bring to court those bankers who brought the country to tax in the first place so let's i can control themselves and their. dr i want to get this sort of crowdsourcing really work on the next mill and international scale yes now in terms of a national scale with iceland they simply crowdsourcing that constitution themselves and it's it is managing well digital technology has absolutely revolutionized the species and it certainly revolutionized the way that we move towards radical change in activism. and it's only just started so the fact is that you know i can see in the future within our lifetimes a situation whereby there's a form of a form of global referendum that's that's due to digital technology if we have fat i think very quickly the leaders and the people who run the financial institutions in the corporations will be put to shame because when they hear the voice of
2:40 am
literally the noise you know one percent of the planet with the noise at one point nine percent rate i then they will be put in they'll be put into the shade in the. governments in various countries to obviously a paste see you occupying place. here on a course towards the u.s. is reportedly rolled out what he's calling a microwave weapon disperse crowds are you making plans to dealing with a kind of technology this country has last year they bought a large water cannons to disperse this dispense with demonstrators all right and i think that's kind of a scare story i know it's true that the military in the states may have bought this weapon that can use sound waves to kind of disempower people who might be in the streets i think that's a symptom of something far worse that's coming occupies the canary in the morning as far as we can see. but eventually the rest of this world will realize that they've been dropped and that they are being put into subjugation by completely on
2:41 am
just undemocratic unsustainable financial systems and they will. become furious eventually so i think those kind of weapons may well be something to take much more seriously in say six months time or eight months time on in this country the austerity measures haven't really hit as hard as they got into so whether it's easy for big. so you just stay within their own little bubble if you don't mind the words. when they just cut into their actual lives comes right into their doorstep and in through their front door and cuts them away from the logic they used then i think that will be an enormous growth in people who are trying to find this kind of economic justice that occupy represents. its value fibroids in the future of the occupy movement is escalation and solidarity in other words that we will continue to generate small creative ways of bringing a message using direct action and using mice and using the media but also we were quite sort of more more solid that would say that as more and more people come and
2:42 am
join us when they realize that we are all singing from the same hymn sheet. to esther span children and one problem or another socialism has spread the shadow of the regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow is i'm approaching up on all different. leave early twenty first century military bases the network of military bases all around the former slim evil empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million or more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the world. we don't have foreign bases
