Wall Street Occupied! 700 airline pilots join swelling protest in New York City

Wall Street saw yet another surge in protesters today - as hundreds of Continental and United Airlines pilots demonstrated in New York City's financial district.

Over 700 hundred activists, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) carriers, took their grievances to the streets as they protested for wages and benefits in light of a stalled merger between the airlines.

The demonstration coincided with the 11th straight day the Occupy Wall Street encampment, which has seen thousands of demonstrators descend onto downtown Manhattan - and hundreds arrested.

Continental's ALPA unit announced the union rally, saying the company needed to 'get serious' about negotiating a joint contract.

United officials have said they want a fair contract and have been meeting with pilots from both unions since August 2010, arguing that none of the major sections dealing with work rules, pay, scope/job protection or retirement/benefits has been resolved.

Management wanted a deal in place by the end of 2011, but said over the summer the target would be missed. No new date has been set.

Comment: The mainstream media, of course, continue to portray the protesters as few in number and composed mainly of 'anarchist' types... but the true story is very different:

Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad have thrown tomatoes and eggs at US ambassador Robert Ford as he met an opposition figure in Damascus.

Veteran politician Hassan Abdul Azim said about 100 protesters tried to get into his office as Mr Ford arrived and then surrounded it, trapping them both.

US officials said the "mob was violent" and seriously damaged embassy vehicles, but that Mr Ford was unharmed.

Earlier, Syria accused the US of inciting violence against its military.

Abbas at UN
The British government has voiced opposition to the Palestinians' statehood bid at the UN Security Council when it convenes a meeting Wednesday to discuss the request.

"While we support the principle of Palestinian statehood, we know that only a negotiated settlement can create a viable Palestinian state," Foreign Secretary William Hague was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.

"No resolution at the UN can substitute for the political will necessary if both sides are to come to the negotiating table", added the Foreign Secretary.

Just days after being declared persona non grata at the Labour Party conference, Tony Blair looks set to receive similar treatment in the Middle East.

The Palestinians have lost trust in the former prime minister as envoy for the Quartet on the Middle East peacemakers, claiming he is biased towards Israel. Palestinian youth wings of the main political parties have informally declared Mr Blair persona non grata in the occupied West Bank and would not meet him there, a Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) official said. If, as expected, the youth wings make a formal declaration about Mr Blair, it is likely to be adopted by senior politicians.

The concerns expressed about Mr Blair follow an Arab newspaper report which said that Palestinian officials are pushing for the removal of Mr Blair as envoy, citing his efforts to stop the Palestinian bid for statehood submitted to the United Nations last week. Citing diplomatic sources, the Al-Quds newspaper reported that the Quartet intended to appoint a new peace envoy to the Middle East following a Palestinian request for his dismissal, according to the political blogger Guido Fawkes, who posted a translated excerpt on his website.

Saif al-Islam threatens to publish details of bank transfers to punish French PM for backing Libyan rebels

Muammar Gaddafi's son has claimed that Libya helped finance Nicolas Sarkozy's successful election campaign in 2007, and demanded that the French president return the money to "the Libyan people".

In an interview with the Euronews TV channel, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi said Libya had details of bank transfers and was ready to make them public in a move designed to punish Sarkozy for throwing his weight behind opposition forces.

Last week, the Libyan government threatened to reveal a "grave secret" that would bring down Sarkozy, with Saif al-Islam calling him "a clown".

The regime is furious at Sarkozy's efforts to galvanise international action to impose a "no-fly zone" that would prevent Gaddafi from using air power against rebels based in Benghazi.

The Oakland Tribune is not impressed. From a September, 26 editorial:
Earlier this month, the board of Oakland's Museum of Children's Art, MOCHA, abruptly canceled an exhibit of Palestinian children's art that had been six months in the planning. "A Child's View in Gaza" featured drawings and paintings by Palestinian children who were living in Gaza during Israel's three-week bombing and ground invasion that began Dec. 27, 2008.

Pro-Israel lobbying groups claimed that the Gaza exhibit was anti-Israel and fought to kill it. They asserted that the art could not possibly have been created by children . . .

Prosecutor close to French president in court over allegations of spying on Le Monde journalists investigating Bettencourt scandal

The threat to Nicolas Sarkozy's re-election bid from corruption scandals intensified on Wednesday after a leading state prosecutor close to the president was summoned before judges over an alleged dirty tricks campaign to spy on journalists.

Seven months before the presidential election, Sarkozy, who once promised to be Mr Squeaky Clean of French politics, has seen his close circle come under pressure in a series of corruption investigations whose plots thicken by the day. Investigators are untangling a web of scandals involving alleged illegal party-funding with banknotes variously stuffed into bags, briefcases and brown envelopes, as well as phone interceptions.

As the beleaguered president unveiled his austerity budget on Wednesday, his government was waging a public relations war to try to dampen the talk of sleaze and to stress that Sarkozy himself had not been personally implicated.

Comment: Something tells us these scandals are just the tip of the iceberg.

France Condemned Wednesday the Israeli authorities' approval of a plan to build 1100 housing units in the East Jerusalem settlement of Gilo, saying that this decision could backfire at a time when the international community is increasing its efforts in order to immediately resume negotiations, according to the French Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bernard Valero.

He said that France considers this decision to be provocative, calling on Israel to reconsider it and refrain from any actions that would disrupt the international community's efforts to resume Palestnian-Israeli negotiations.

UK: Corporate Media Caught Using Video Game Footage As Evidence To Link Gaddafi To Terrorists

Fake IRA footage
TV network admits passing off clip from VIDEO GAME as footage of genuine IRA attack documentary linking Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi to the Irish terrorist group.

The corporate media has been caught red-handed once again fabricating propaganda to justify the globalist agenda.

Never mind that our sworn Islamic enemies, non other than Al-Qaeda, have been used as ground troops to take over Libya's oil and now have been recognized as the official government leaders of Libya.

Never mind that the U.S. and European governments have been suppling Gaddafi with weapons and used him to do their dirty deeds for years.

Never mind that Gaddafi has been running secret CIA torture prison for years.

Instead, dear sheeple, watch this documentary showing evidence that Gaddafi is the bad guy.
