city by asking for sanctuary ever since the movement was kicked out of its central command in zuccotti park more than a month ago demonstrators have been looking for a new place to set up operations to build a new encampment so on saturday demonstrators marched to a piece of land owned by trinity church one of the oldest churches in the city intent on setting up a new camp unfortunately their bid to reoccupied that area failed as trinity church refused to give the movement sanctuary on their property the n.y.p.d. arrived in arrest of fifty demonstrators many of whom were trying to scale a fence around a park like retired of fiscal bishop george packard seen here in the purple causing who was the first to climb the fence over into the property of trinity church for more on what happened over the weekend and why the movement might need a sanctuary to continue thriving i'm joined by nathan schneider editor away gene nonviolence dot org and a contributor to the nation magazine and the new york times nathan welcome to the program tonight thanks very much it's good to be here thank you what was t

and with that you know there were only you know a few hundred people in zuccotti park but more people started to come and the first the press laughed at them the mainstream media they said that they were these hippie these cantor cultural people they played drums their clothes were a little funky they didn't have a program they didn't have demands but as time went on and particularly after the encounter between the occupiers and the police on the brooklyn bridge that was their video so brilliant my and shown all over the country. the press began to wonder to change and to treat the occupiers with a little more respect. more respect and then they based they they repeated what the occupiers told them and they actually covered all sorts of things about the occupation the new york times food section even had a feature occupies kitchen and that meant. message of occupy was getting out there and the occupation spread around the country and they spread around the world there were occupations everywhere it was a brilliant communication strategy and the message was. clear and so resonant. and.

have one what would they do once you're fired there are no jobs available the nighttime raid on zuccotti park and subsequent arrest of dozens of journalists covering the story are among many reasons captain lewis says he temporarily transplanted to manhattan that's as close to a dictatorship when you exclude the media. as with dictators around the world and that is very scary brutal scare tactics such as pepper spray the tongs and flash grenades paris servers have been used against occupy camps throughout the us oakland california resembles something of an urban war zone this fall leaving a war vet in critical condition and the eyes of an eighty four year old burning from tear gas oakland police officer fred chavez is the only octave cop who's gone on record with his support like i totally agree with occupy. even to understand what ike broke i am a part of the ninety nine percent for the most part people are peaceful and i want to see change many believe the biggest change could come when or if u.s. law enforcement officials stop suppressing the right to assemble and begin supporting it despi

forced out one am shortly before their two month anniversary and removed them from zuccotti park and the fact that camps were moved throughout the country has slowed the momentum down of this movement but i do anticipate. a lot of momentum come spring time as the twenty twelve presidential election gets more and more underway . in the big thank you. you're watching lots you live from moscow and iran plans to test fire a long range missiles in the persian gulf over the next few days it's all part of naval drills which have been increasing tension in the region almost daily also lots of saber rattling from the u.s. which to deploy warships to the area of course while i'm gone they can has more day after day we see the degree of tension rising iranian and american warships kind of brushed shoulders earlier as u.s. ships passed the area where terror on is holding a ten day military exercise the u.s. fifth fleet said they crossed the strait of hormuz unhindered and that he was a routine passage iran's right in to cut off the strait of hormuz which is the major golf oil artery forty percen

we're talking about perfect metaphors here, i should also tell you that the company that owns zuccotti park, where this whole movement got its physical space in which it started when the first encampment went up and was taken down by police, the company that owns zuccotti park, turns out that company owes $139,000 in back taxes. ask me. even if you think you can live with your old mattress. ask me how i've never slept better. why not talk to one of the 6 million people who've switched to the most highly recommended bed in america. it's not a sealy, a simmons, or a serta. ask me about my tempur-pedic. ask me how i can finally sleep all night. ask me how great my back feels every morning. did you know there's a tempur-pedic for every body? tempur-pedic beds now come in soft...firm...and everything in-between. ask me how i don't wake up anymore when he comes to bed. these are real tempur-pedic owners. ask someone you know...check out twitter,or your friends on facebook...you'll hear it all...unedited! ask me how i wish i had done this sooner. ask me how it's the best investment i've ever made.

because we don't have zuccotti park, we are spreading out our resources. so we can have people join us. working groups can continue to work and plan. >> reporter: show us around. >> this is some of our worg spaces. you can see lots of occupiers working here. they can help people who were staying in the park who are now homeless. >> a copy machine. >> as every office needs. rent in manhattan isn't cheap. how are you paying for this? >> we are not. it is donations. our furniture was donated. our food donated, our water is donated. >> reporter: so this really stands out to me when we walk in here. what print media is saying about the movement today. so they're posting all the stuff that we the media are putting out there. you're keeping an eye on us. >> of course. >> reporter: is it a more professional movement? you have an office. is it different now? >> no. i don't think so. one of the things we're trying to reconcile here is that we're trying to show the world a different way of doing things. and though we may be in an office space, we want to stay true to

would gain too much of a foothold and would continue to expand and i was there at the raid on zuccotti park in downtown new york and what i saw from the n.y.p.d. reminded me of demolitions i witnessed by the israeli army and the israeli border police inside israel and in the occupied west bank and as i reported there has been since nine eleven since the war on drugs transferred into the war on terror nine thousand american police officers have been trained by israeli security and intelligence officials hundreds of top law enforcement officers have gone to israel to train and what they're learning there is counter terror training by a country that is spent sixty three years dispossessing in controlling an indigenous population now they're bringing that back into the streets in the united states against the civilian population so you see you're seeing a process since the war on terror of israel if occasion and this is extremely dangerous in terms of what it means for the relationship between civilians and their protection under stablished civil liberty codes now max who benefits from from thi

. >> reporter: zuccotti park is nearly all cleared out but occupy has moved to places that you probablyding an office right off of wall street. >> you walk in. you get a name tag like this. is this occupy headquarters? >> not at all. this is one of our offices. because we don't have zuccotti park. >> yeah. >> we are spreading out our resources so we can have people join us. working groups can continue to work and plan. >> reporter: show usa round. >> this is some of our working space. you can see lots of occupiers working here. we have some offices. our info hub. it's a help to people who were staying in the park who are now homeless. >> reporter: a copy machine, fax. >> we have our copy machine as every office needs. >> right in manhattan isn't cheap. how are you guys paying for this? >> we are not. it's donations. our furniture was donated. our food still donated. our water is donated. >> reporter: this really stands out to me. we'll walk in here. what print media is saying about the movement today so they're posting all of this stuff that we the media are putting out there. you're ke

long they're supposed to be there to lead us not feed us to the wolves but just i mean i know zuccotti park is also no longer an option that's where sort of the heart of the movement was is an occupation still needed though i mean it seems like you've gotten to this next stage and that there's there's a new kind of thing going on that actions are planned rather than occupations. well i mean we need a rallying point so that we can organize and i think it's very important that people in the american public have a place that belongs to the public and not just private interests but i do agree with you on the point that the conversation needs to be elevated to a larger point whether we're discussing the inequalities in our corrupt political system that's basically an auction system at this point or the systemic flaws throughout the financial industry that should be addressed i think that we need a physical reality point so that we can move forward with the political economic conversation but you know the some things of people need a place to go and if the public will not provide it to the public
