Tomorrow October 15, 2011 is a day of coordinated international protests. These are based on the North African and Spaniard movements before them, aslo augmented by the recent Occupy Wall St, and its nation wide effect. Whatever the ultimate outcome of all these movements and protests, one aspect is very certain, and that's the Situationist roots the influence of the journal Ad Buster, "Cultural Jamming" and the Situationist school of thought, on the October 15 Protests, OWS,.. You be the judge.
Below is "the" Situationist text of all times:

Thank you Rafigh for the great blog.
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sun Oct 16, 2011 09:13 AM PDTThis is a truely grass root movement with surprisingly high level of public support, at least in US. People are just begining to wake up to the fact that the current economic crisis, which has been going for about 5 years is very fundamental and has it's roots in finance capitals of the world and is not going to go away without fundamental changes.
I believe The answer to your first question will very much dictate the answer to the following three. I personaly do not see a political party of the working classes leading this movement at this point in time. Would this change? Let us see.

Folks , frankly I never thought I would live to see the day that there
would be more protests than I could have time to report, but as they
say: Live long enough and you'll see everything!
And so it is. Above is a small sample of protests yesterday from the four
corners of the world. Keep in mind this is just a small fraction of all
the activities from yesterday.
How far will these movements go?
How substantial will be their effects?
How will it they impact us in Iran?
Stay tuned, and have a great Sunday, cheers
Thank you brother VPK
by salman farsi on Sun Oct 16, 2011 12:41 AM PDTI just posted a question under brother Roozbeh's blog about Tabarzin. You are a kind soul brother VPK who are prepared to say such nice things about Tabarzin dispite having some differences of opinion with him. Not all perople are as nice as you. But I wonder why he was blocked. Did he become the victim of another Bahai debate?

Tabarzin
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Oct 16, 2011 12:34 AM PDTAppears to have been blocked. A loss to the IC readers and all who appreciated his knowledge. I did not always agree with him but very few people had his wisdom. It would be nice to have him back. I hope we get the same kind of grass roots demand for his return as we got for others. He was a gem whose like are impossible to find.
Brother Hooshang

برگزاری تظاهرات ضد سرمایه داری در یکهزار شهر جهان
Hooshang Tarreh-GolSat Oct 15, 2011 11:23 PM PDT
اعتراضات ادامه موج خشمی است که با جنبش "تسخیر وال استریت" از نیویورک
آغاز شد. اعتراضات توده ای این روز در کشورهای متعدد اروپایی و آسیایی از
جمله "ایتالیا، یونان، پرتغال، آلمان، اسپانیا، فرانسه، انگلیس، بوسنی،
استرالیا، ژاپن، فیلیپین، تایلند و تایوان" برگزار شد. نحوه برگزاری
اعتراضات و تحصن ها از یک شهر به شهر دیگر تفاوت داشت ولی به عقیده ناظران،
معترضان عمدتا تظاهرکنندگان آمریکایی را الگوی خود قرار داده اند که به
دنبال تسخیر وال استریت و دیگر نمادهای نظام سرمایه داری در دیگر مناطق
آمریکا هستند. گاردین در همین ارتباط گزارش کرد تظاهرات مردم آمریکا علیه نظام سرمایه داری این کشور به جنبشی جهانی تبدیل شده است.

Dear HT
by Soosan Khanoom on Sat Oct 15, 2011 08:41 AM PDTThanks for keeping us updated here. I should also thank your cousin : )
I have also been trying to keep myself current with these events.. It is refreshing and at the same time saddening .... This is the furure of all of us and for sure our childern that is being shaped in the hands of greed and hypocracy, yet, it seems not too many care or even bother to pay more attention. I salut those who are packing the streets in every corner of this planet and yelling " ENOUGH IS ENOUGH "
I am also seeing how thier opponents keep accusing and labelling them .... i guess this business of accusation is universal and we like to do that to each other without really give cerdit, atleast, where it is due ....
some online comments are remarkable, some just plain ignorance, and some well... Hilllarious .....
I may post all sort of them if I find them interesting enough to do so ....
here is one ...
"Don't worry everybody! The G12 will get together and "fix this", like they've been doing for over 20 years, as THEY HAVE THE WORLD POPULATION'S INTERESTS AT HEART. This whole movement is incredibly enlightening, as it highlights the fact that people are tired of INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND COLLUSION. RISE UP PEOPLE!! Take our futures back! "
راهپيمايی جهانی برای دمکراسي، برضد فساد و اختلاس
Hooshang Tarreh-GolSat Oct 15, 2011 07:47 AM PDT
جهان تظاهرات شود، تظاهراتی برای دست يافتن به دمکراسی بيشتر. جوانان
اسپانيا پيشتاز اين حرکت هستند. حرکتی که با بهار عربی مقايسه ميشود.
