OWS moves into Ireland.

http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Occ...131442713.html

I wonder how global this movement could go.

October 15 is global. I'm debating on whether to go to the Occupy El Paso or Occupy Juarez.

I'm thinking El Paso might be marginally safer.

The question is really if the protests currently happening in other EU countries will be associated with the OWS.

There have already been ongoing protests for months now in Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Ireland has just joined in. It's a mixture of the austerity protests and the OWS. The reality is they are the same - the harsh austerity measures being enacted in the EU are a direct result of the bank bailouts which here in the EU were caused by the exact same problem - banks.

In fact half of the problem is banks here were heavily invested in US banks and companies, and when they failed it brought down the banks here. The banks here also had began their own sub-prime caper so it was a bit of a double whammy. We also had a third factor which has been leaking out which is the top bank officials were in bed with the politicians and giving away free money to their mates. It all ended with an even more drastic result.
