A conversation on Occupy Wall St to Occupy Auckland.

20th October 2011, 8-9am

A conversation on Occupy Wall St to Occupy Auckland

Hine Ransfield from Occupy Auckland, social networker and Lisa Er an ASB Auckland business woman of the year and Founder of the Awareness Party.

Is it a revolt, an uprising, an insurrection, a rebellion, or a revolution? YES! all of these, by the 99% who see global control firmly in the hands of the 1%. Yet we trust the outcome will be conscious, peaceful and by a dynamic successful process.

*Touch typing is mightier than the truncheon!* And it can be.

Americans presently occupying Wall St and country wide financial centers need our principled support. As NZ is the first major country to see tomorrow first, can we be a moral template for a peaceful resolve towards cleansing a global economic system based on debt, exclusiveness and adversity.

Here in NZ, many say that mainstream media is in the camp of the status quo, as it's a media that keeps us content, distracted, compliant and titillated. But in reality it is also a media of censorship by omission. For though Wall St has been occupied for a month, you will notice mainstream NZ media by not covering this, are either very conservative or compliant.

Yet, NZ can be the seedbed for a new consciousness. We are a stable country, with no war or starving, fairly well educated and connected by the web. We also come from a deep knowingness of welfare and social safety nets, as well as once being a country based on numerous nation wide co-operatives especially in the rural sector, trust banks, mutual insurance societies, building societies and liquor trusts.

This being prior to private capital, in the mid 1980s early 90's mostly from offshore, cleverly circumventing these altruistic models, and today very little cash flows out to the community, but instead disappears overseas as profits.

Occupy Wall St is a great awakening of the West that if we are to thrive as a cohesive cooperative and awakened humanity, we have to do away with the banking system that has taken us to the abyss of uncertainty.

What is our next strategic move that will shift the balance back into the hands of the 99% that can for the first time evolve a planet of peace and security? A system that is holistic, inclusive follows the precautionary principle and has a duty of care?

We are paying governments to find solutions, but they are not coming up with any, hence this disciplined global protest, because the Governments are at the behest of the money that continuously flows on upwards to banking interests. So much so, that we will never be told who we in NZ get our overseas loans from and what the conditions are?

Listen to two aware and active women share with me there concerns and aspirations about the Occupation that is presently continuing at Aotea Square here in Auckland today.
