For the past few days we have repeatedly seen the unsettling images of NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna pepper spraying a group of young female protestors and walk away during the Occupy Wall Street rallies. One of the young demonstrators who was sprayed is Chelsea Elliott, a freelance digital imager from Brooklyn. She speaks out about the incident to RT.

NATO's presence in Libya little resembles a humanitarian mission with houses, hospitals and schools being hit. But Libya prospered prior to NATO's intrusion, Yvonne Di Vito, an activist from Libyanfriends.com told RT. RT: You have been saying that here in Italy the news reports abut what is happening in Libya were very confusing, a lot of conflicting information there. Can you tell us what you saw and what you found?
Yvonne Di Vito:
We went to Libya on the 28th July and we came back on the 7th August and we found a totally different situation because NATO was bombarding civilians. The bombings were not only carried out on military targets, but they also hit houses, hospitals, schools, television centers, and this was totally against the humanitarian reasons they said they were there for.
I believe they were doing this to bring panic in the city. That's why they were bombing the things that people use daily, like places with food and essential utilities like hospitals.
This was also a difficult period for Muslims because of Ramadan and that is why in the daytime they're in their houses. We went to Tripoli and to Zitan and we saw huge protests with thousands of pro-Gaddafi supporters turning out against NATO and all these demonstrations were not shown in Italy.
We also visited Tanjur and Sansur and found a lot of women that were screaming at us, asking 'Why you Italians are bombing us? What did we do to you? Why are you killing our children?' That was their main question. When we went to Zitan, the same day they bombed a house and in this house two children were killed. We tried to show the pictures of these children that were dead. But apart from us, no one else did the same.
Except the things that we saw with our own eyes visiting these places that were bombed, we have so much material that press officers and journalists from Libya gave to us as testimony to all the dead from the NATO bombings.
After all the things that we saw we have one question: is this a humanitarian war? Are they really helping the civilians, because I believe that all this is because of economic reasons, or at least there are other reasons that this war happened, petroleum or other things.
We also visited Libya before and what we found was a normal situation where people were fine. Differently from other countries that went through a revolution -- Libya is considered to be the Switzerland of the African continent and is very rich and schools are free for the people. Hospitals are free for the people. And the conditions for women are much better than in other Arab countries.

On Thursday, October 20, 2011, UNITE HERE's Local 7, which represents hotel and hospitality workers, staged a demonstration/picket line in front of the Baltimore Convention Center at Charles & Pratt Streets. It was in support of the Centerplate workers and their efforts to "restore their slashed wages and their health insurance." The Convention Center is a block west of the "Occupy Baltimore" site.

A lot of people are not pleased with President Obama after he approved a plan for BP to drill in the Gulf of Mexico, the first of its kind since last year's Deepwater Horizon explosion. Among the upset factions is the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, Ed Markey. "Comprehensive safety legislation hasn't passed Congress, and BP hasn't paid the fines they owe for their spill, yet BP is being given back the keys to drill in the Gulf," he said. The New York Times explains the plan:
These were the brave and free people of Libya. Because of their leader Moammar Gadhafi, they enjoyed one of the highest standards of living in the world. Their cities, their hospitals, schools and water treatment facilities have been bombed. Their oil depots have been seized and the oil now flows for free to Europe and Israel. The bank of Libya is now in the hands of Rothschild, and the massive gold reserves of Libya are probably also in the hands of Rothschild. Tens of thousands of women and children have been slaughtered and raped by paid Nato-mercenaries. Libya is being crushed and looted to destruction and the American media calls this liberation, freedom, and democracy.
At a rally in St. Louis on August 12, 2011, several people with savings and checking accounts at Bank of America tried to walk into the building to close their accounts. The suits and the police they had there to back them up wouldn't allow it.
