Re: WALL STREET locked DOWN
In a continuation of the demonstrations that began on Saturday, nearly 200 protesters marched along Wall Street and other parts of the financial district Monday morning, brandishing American flags and signs denouncing the economic system. At least six of them were arrested.
Office workers heading to their desks passed the protesters on the sidewalks with little incident. At times, the two groups squeezed shoulder to shoulder through narrow passages formed by metal police barricades.
The first three arrests came on Pine Street, when a police lieutenant ordered that two men wearing ski masks be taken into custody. Officers then arrested a woman wearing a plastic mask on the back of her head.
The next arrest came a few minutes later on when a deputy inspector standing on Wall Street ordered a man wearing an orange hat to keep moving. The man, who had turned around in a crowded sidewalk just west of Broad Street, spoke to the inspector for a moment, then lifted his hands and said that he was having difficulty moving.
At that, the inspector reached over a curbside barricade, grabbed the man and tried to haul him from the sidewalk onto the street. As the man backed away, the inspector lunged forward, holding onto the man and toppling the metal barricade. The inspector fell to the sidewalk and a moment later the man in the orange hat was also on the ground, being handcuffed.
It was the third day of anticorporate protests that were promoted by a range of groups including AdbustersMedia Foundation, an advocacy group based in Canada, as well as a New York City group that called itself the General Assembly. Participants said that the demonstrations were meant to criticize a financial system that unfairly benefits corporations and the rich and undermines democracy.
Organizers said that the protests were inspired by demonstrations in Egypt and Spain and could continue for weeks or even months.(clap)(clap)(clap)(clap)

Yahoo censoring WALL STREET Protests!
Yahoo censoring WALL STREET PROTEST email!
Wall Street has been a mess of bodies and police for the past few days as Occupy Wall Street protests have clogged up lower Manhattan. But there were some congestion problems online, too, as Yahoo was reportedly blocking emails attempting to organize the gathering. Starting yesterday, several members of the Occupy Wall Street group reported being unable to send messages about the protests, and made the video you see above to verify that their messages were being blocked. A Yahoo rep told Gothamist, though, that the "censorship" was simply due to the occupywallst.org url being incorrectly flagged as spam. When we tried to replicate the censorship, we were able to send and receive emails containing the keywords and the url, so the issue seems to be resolved.
Yahoo's still the largest email provider in the United States with 90 million accounts, so it would be pretty bad if they were actually blocking messages about a (conceptually) peaceful protest

My take: Abh inki phutt rahi hai kay humari uprising na hojaye!!

Is it the war by communists on capitalists? As long as the Govt. is okay to continue benefits to social services, there should not be any problem. Capitalism demands innovation even by people who seek jobs to find one.
