The Nattering One muses... The Autumn of Protest has sprung into full winter discontent...
what started last month in Spain, has gone viral and global.
It seems we are not the only ones sick and tired of the ascendancy of the house of finance and the same old song spoon fed by the elitist ultra rich.
It also seems that perhaps we are moving one step closer to what we have heralded in these pages as "necessary" many a time.
The status quo of those in charge will always do as the song says, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss "...
If you want change, real meaningful change, there is only one way to get it and perhaps we are closer than most want to think or believe.
Remember PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL and UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.
There is power in numbers, NOW is the time to "COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW".
A day of worldwide protests inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in the United States began Saturday with the hundreds of people gathering in cities from Japan and South Korea to Australia.
Organizers had hoped to see non-violent demonstrations in 951 cities in Asia, Europe, South America and Africa in addition to every state in the United States.
A website called 15october.net urged the people of the world to "rise up" and "claim their rights and demand a true democracy."

Sydney: "I think people want real democracy," said Nick Carson, a spokesman for OccupyMelbourne.Org.
"They don't want corporate influence over their politicians. They want their politicians to be accountable."
The crowd cheered a speaker who shouted, "We're sick of corporate greed! Big banks, big corporate power standing over us and taking away our rights!"
Danny Lim, a 67-year-old immigrant from Malaysia, said he moved to Australia 48 years ago in search of opportunities.
Now he no longer trusts the government to look after his best interests. He thinks Australia's government has become too dependent upon the U.S. for direction.
"The big man — they don't care. They screw everyone. Eventually we'll mortgage our children away," Lim said.
Taiwan: "we are Taiwan's 99 percent", saying economic growth had only benefited companies while middle-class salaries barely covered soaring housing, education and healthcare costs.
