One of the main demands from Occupiers is the closure of the gap between those living the high life and those for who struggling in a tough economy is a full-time job. The latest forecasts are not optimistic though, because the gap appears to be widening. RT's Anastasia Churkina reports from New York.
We learned to love you
from the historical heights
where the sun of your bravery
laid siege to death
Here lies the clear,
the deep transparency
of your beloved presence,
Comandante Che Guevara
Your glorious and strong hand
over History it shoots
when all of Santa Clara
awakens to see you
You come burning the breeze
with springtime suns
to plant the flag
with the light of your smile
Your revolutionary love
leads you to new undertaking
where yearned is the firmness
of your liberating arm
We will carry on
as we followed you then
and with Fidel we say to you:
"Until always, Commandant!"
Chávez, Correa y Aleida Guevara (Che Guevara´s daughter) singing "Hasta siempre comandante"
This is a video illustrating the political/social commentary of public graffiti.
It starts out juxtaposing Bush with Obama -- essentially one just took the kleptocratic baton from the other without missing a beat. Then it touches on the downtrodden and disenfranchised. It then moves into the mass media propaganda machine, then mindless consumerism, our oil addiction, empire's oil-centric/exploitive foreign policy, the corporate driven military industrial complex, the environmental consequences of fossil fuels, and then the evolution (fate) of man.
The soundtrack that accompanies the video is claimed to be an unreleased song by NIN entitled "It All Fades".
