Was going to mention this yesterday but now that Iranian Press TV has posted an article will let them tell the story. You could probably have guessed this would be a tactic at some stage if the protests kept going the way they looked like they would. TPTB are pretty predictable :wink:

Police equate Occupy LSX with al-Qaeda
Mon Dec 5, 2011 4:25PM GMT



London Metropolitan Police has categorized Occupy London Stock Exchange anti-capitalist protestors as a domestic terror group alongside those that are termed foreign terror threats including al-Qaeda.


In the document, dubbed “Terrorism/Extremism update for the City of London Business Community” and handed out to Occupy LSX 'Bank of Ideas' building by a local businessman, the police acknowledges that the protestors are on a “peaceful” campaign yet accused demonstrators of “suspected hostile reconnaissance” activity in London.

“There are now three 'Occupations' by activists in or near the City of London,” the document reads.

“It is likely that activists aspire to identify other locations to occupy, especially those they identify with capitalism. City of London Police has received a number of hostile reconnaissance reports concerning individuals who would fit the anti-capitalist profile. All are asked to be vigilant regarding suspected reconnaissance, particularly around empty buildings," it adds.

Occupy LSX has described the document as “interesting” saying the police are using “fear as a political tool” against the protestors.

The group said the police used the same campaign of “fear and intimidation” during the November 30 strike march in London.

“It is something Occupy London and other peaceful concerned citizens have experienced as they sought to remind the highest paid that they cannot continue to ignore this economic climate without questions being asked of them directly,” it said in a press release on its website.

“Occupy London would like to take this opportunity to demonstrate how the use of this kind of rhetoric can give an impression that is slightly divorced from reality,” it added.

The group also slammed the use of “suspected activism” to refer to Occupy LSX protestors saying activism is not a crime and if Britain claims its citizens live in a real “free society” that sort of “democratic” action should not worry the police.

“Activism is not a crime and the desire to participate in democratic decision-making should not be a cause for concern for the police in any free society,” it said.

“An institution that confuses active citizens with criminals and equates Al Qaeda with efforts to re-imagine the city is an institution in grave danger of losing its way,” it added.

Our police can't differentiate between protestors and terrorists, and have no concept of our RIGHT to free speech and peaceful protest. As far as they are concerned it's us vs them, and to the police we are all 'them'. Idiots. But dangerous idiots.

The Occupy Movement are not anti-capitalist and they are not terrorists. They recognize that the nation's economy is fascist, and seek to restore true capitalism.

This is untrue. After speaking to many of the occupy london protestors (I've not spoken to any in the US) most are socialist and anti-everything most of all capitalism. They have a large banner saying capitalism is crisis and would like to see the collapse of the monetary system. They have no real idea of how economies work.

So it begins, they start to take away peoples right to protest by labeling them as terrorists and then prevent anyone from speaking out against their ideals or system..... And the pressure cooker begins to heat up. The people controlling all the power will never allow for common people to have a voice.

Those of you making excuses for capitalism hav eno idea how economies work. capitalism lurches from one boom to another bust time and time again. Its apologists blame government, blame workers, blame the weather, the moon, politics, blame everything but the people who take the lions share of the profits. Face it, the capitalist system is just window dressing for aristocrats who have been handed everything by their mommies. It punishes true competition and protects inbred wealth. That is the capitalist in the real world, not some airy fairy academic true belief presented by the austrians or libertarians to make excuses for the failures of capitalism. The system is broken. The bailouts of 2008 proved that beyond any argument. It would have collapsed if left to it sown devices. We need a better approach. Time to wake up.
