'Revolts to spread to 40 US cities'
Sun Oct 2, 2011 1:22PM GMT
The ongoing protests against corporate corruption and Washington's financial policies in New York and several other US cities will spread to 40 major American cities, a political activist tells Press TV.
It is a beginning. There are already 'Occupy' actions planned for 30 to 40 other American cities, Kathy McConaghie said on Saturday.
We are leading up to the October 2011 occupation in Freedom Square in Washington D.C, which will be an ongoing occupation and will involve many, many groups of people who intend to stay there, she added.
The rallies originally started in New York two weeks ago under the name of Occupy Wall Street when activists and demonstrators announced their intention to seize the heart of the US financial transactions in protest at dire economic conditions believed to be caused by the excessive greed of the America's big corporations.
The movement has now grown dramatically and spread to other major cities across the country.
McConaghie predicts that the corporations and the media would try to put more pressure on the movement in order to make it seem without any outlined objectives.
However, the activist argues that the American nation is awakening, saying, As more people join this movement, its outlines will be fleshed out and it will be less likely that they can be marginalized.
We need to bring this up in the UN and arm these rebels I say
