Leslie Thatcher, Truthout: 'October 6, 2011, was a perfect autumn day in our nation s capital: bright and clement. And at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, from early this morning, people gathered from across the US and places beyond to 'stop the machine' and demand that human need, not corporate greed, guide the direction of this country. The October 2011 movement - planned six months ago - is separate from, but wholly synergistic with the 'Occupy Washington' movement in nearby McPherson Park.'

Eleven Facts You Need to Know About the Nation s Biggest Banks

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City more than three weeks ago have now spread across the country. The choice of Wall Street as the focal point for the protests - as even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said - makes sense due to the big bank malfeasance that led to the Great Recession.'

A Citizens' Campaign for a New National Security Policy

Gareth Porter, Truthout: 'The starting point for a citizens' campaign for a new national security strategy should be to call attention to the reality that US wars - supposedly against terrorism - have produced clear winners and losers. The winners are the leaders of the military, the Pentagon, the CIA and their private sector and elected political allies. Aggressive US wars are not merely the result of mistaken policies, but of the national security institutions pursuing their own interests at the expense of the interests of the American people.'

Bank On It: They Are Scared

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Far be it from me to accuse Gandhi of missing a note, but in the case of the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests, the Mahatma s famous quote appears to be lacking a few essential words. 'First they ignore you,' he said, 'then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.' That s not quite correct.... First they ignore you, then they ridicule you... Then they get scared.'
