"This is a peaceful protest"
As Melbournian's who were gathered to protest the gross inequality and injustice of criminal corporate
behavior the victorian police responded in a typically heavy handed approach. As the crowds linked arms, chanting
"This is a peaceful protest", members of the police force aggressively attacked the protestors, punching
one man, who moments before had been holding his hands in a peace sign, viciously in the face
Shame!!
They are supposed to protect and serve. Protect and serve whom exactly?
Occupy Melbourne
Scenes of police brutality as Melbournian's are forcibly evicted from their peaceful protest in the city square in Melbourne today [21/9/11]. A supposedly democratic right to gather and express views is stripped away by this violent goon squad as the crowds chant "Scum, scum, scum..". Tomorrow protesters will be regrouping and doubling efforts. BE THERE.

Most profound facebook status update yet
What is your life except this very moment, starting right now, and everything is new. Nothing precisely like this has happened before.
There is compassion, there is love, there is joy, without any need for superstitious cliches. There is understanding and compassion for all the sorrow, misery and tears.
There is a refuge from the chaos, brutality and pain. There is a refuge from the storm. There is a boat to cross the sea.
You are a boat for those with oceans to cross. You may build yourself to be a sturdy vessel. You may coming to understand yourself, and learn how nourish yourself in order to nourish others.
You are a tree with deep roots, an old trunk and new green shoots. You are ancient and new. Children may come play undeneath you and birds may rest on you branches. You grow your roots down deep and you sprout new leaves afresh. You grow - not too fast, not to slow - you are in harmony with yourself. You breathe in and out - giving oxygen in symbiotic relationship with the world, supporting many beings.
You are strong and your new children leaves are laughing. Your older motherly leaves are laughing with them.
If tractors and bulldozers try to destroy you, you are not afraid, for you know the ocean of existence, of which you are just a wave, cannot be destroyed.
You are of the source and the source is invincible. Tractors rust and decay, yet the source abides always becoming new, as each ripple and each wave is always new.
Yet the ocean remains as the ground of all being and everything is one, everything is death, decay, birth and creation, love, a reality beyond the lips of a poet's dream, an adventure beyond what your grandest imagination can comprehend.
Everything is in cosmic conflict, everything is in cosmic peace. You are the source, the source is in you and the source is in everyone.
The whole universe is creating itself anew spontaneously and effortly and grinding with infinite weight, crushing with primal force, delicately suspended in multi-million light year distances of galaxies and untold epochs.
And there is enough space for us to breathe.
Ever so quietly I wonder what would happen if our world made love to another world, if the distance of light years of were surpassed, if we could come next to each other, side by side, and celebrate.
As joy gives birth to unpredictable things, we observe what a new emerging consiousness brings, while singing to the root of all things.
We are here to celebrate life itself. Do not celebrate an opinion or an idea. The constructions of the mind do not satisfy, for we have tasted a roaring fire of unnameable mystery. Let the mystery burn and return to all that is true and good without confining it in human definitions and assumptions.
My chest is beating with a rhythm originating in my heart with a melody to undress worlds, to undress myself and become naked in the desert, in the wilderness to discover I am one with all and all with one, before putting on my clothes again to return to the city and shout in praise of almighty innocence which allows me to continue knowing merely a fraction of the whole, yet this fraction consists of a telescope of a mind which enables me to see beyond this world, beyond boundaries. It consists of a microscope in my mind which enables me to see things in miniscule, precise detail. And you are all this too. I have two eyes, just like you, which enable me to see you and know your truth and celebrate you and know that, however secretly, however hidden, you are part of all that is good.
I allow my tears to fall and they cleanse civilizations away in a torrent, a tide wave. I allow laughter to roar from inside me and it creates a lushious paradise in the desert. I allow silence to thunder inside me.
I smile in silence at your unanswerable questions and offer you a flower.
As you heal, I am healing too. When you thrive and do wonderful things I am the ground beneath your feet silently supporting you.
I am a mother, and I am a father cradling a new born child, singing to her of great love, singing to her of adventures and telling stories and nurturing her.
I am the dream itself, I am the pause between dreams and I am the dreamer.
I am reality slapping one in the face. I am the cheek stinging after it has been slapped.
I am she and he who continue to love, give birth, celebrate, toughen up and wise up, in the face of a harsh, brilliant world.
I am a stone, a pebble sinking to the bottom of the ocean to be discovered thousands of years from now. I am vibrant with potential. I am silent with subtle knowing.
I have the weight of endless centuries on my back. I cheerfully sing as I unburden myself of it, and jump of a cliff, discovering that I can fly.
I am an eagle, fierce, free, dignified.
I am a nomad singing poems in urban landscapes finding and uncovering secrets, laying open oneself, so that those who wish to may find jewels hidden in the mud.
May a diamond awaken one in burning silence of perfection. Whispering, speak of what is beyond this world.
Go beyond the city into the forest. Notice a light, soft like sunshine in spring, which is inside you.

These guys are awesome!!
Charlie Veitch and co. in action out on the streets with a megaphone shouting satirical, on-point reverse psychological political messages, confusing police by giving them hugs and generally being funny buggers.

Occupy Melbourne.. and EVERYWHERE!!!
It's about time this happened!!!
I am in complete solidarity with all of the people around the world who are sick of the inequality and systemic corruption in the economic system and in politics- where big business buys off politicians and has the system rigged so that they are able to make the most profit for themselves possible a the expense of the environment, workers rights, social welfare and equity and the greater good.
Governments have demonstrated that they cannot be trusted to act in the people's interests and must be reminded that they exist to represent and serve the interests and will of the people- not just to stay in power and make money for themselves and their cronies.
The police, too, have demonstrated that they too do not protect and serve the people and are merely a hired good squad to protect the interests of those holding the power [ie. money ] and have, the world over, demonstrated despicable brutality towards people peacefully protesting. Something which is supposedly a "democratic" right.
People can see through the power structures that are primarily in place to protest the position and interests of the "ruling class", and understand the depth of the hypocrisy touted in order to keep people in line, and the morally bankrupt, criminal behaviour it routinely displays to make profits while making people and the environment pay the cost.
It's time for people to take the power back and no longer recognise their "authority" and reclaim our sovereign rights and freedoms as natural human beings.
Now is the time!!!
