Adbusters Issues New Call to Action:
Occupy Chicago for G8/NATO Summit
Adbusters magazine, the publication which launched Occupy Wall Street, is calling for demonstrations in Chicago as  representatives of the global 1% meet to discuss how they can further enrich themselves at the expense of the rest of us.
[Peter says: They probably didn't choose the best image since it's of Chicago cops kicking the crap out of demonstrators at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention.]

Wal-Mart Cuts Health Care Benefits
Another assault on the working poor.
Sam Walton's heirs, one of the richest families in the world, are worth $85-100 billion. And, yet their greed and total lack of compassion for those who brought them their fortune is boundless. 

The 1%

"Finance capital is the collective wealth of humanity. The money controlled by Wall Street was not generated by the unique brilliance, commitment to labour and willingness to assume risk on the part of the financial elite. It was generated by the wars in the Congo and Iraq. It comes from the mines in Johannesburg, the long labor of the men who worked those mines and the equally long labor of the women that kept the homes of the miners in the villages of the Eastern Cape. It comes from the dispossession, exploitation, work and creativity of people around the world. That wealth, which has been captured and made private, needs to be made public.  The immediate task for the young people inspired by the occupations that have spread from Cairo to New York via Madrid and Athens is to make common cause with the rebellion of the poor."
