OCCUPY and MUSLIMS – TRYING TO TOPPLE CHRISTIAN LEADER IN NIGERIA,

OCCUPY MOVEMENT IN NIGERIA IS CAUSING SOCIAL UNREST WHILE MUSLIMS KILL CHRISTIANS.  THEY ARE WORKING IN TANDEM IN NIGERIA, AS THEY DID IN EGYPT, LIBYA, IVORY COAST, NOW SYRIA, ETC.,  TOPPLING PRO WESTERN AND PRO CHRISTIAN REGIMES AROUND THE WORLD.  IN TYPICAL OBAMA FASHION, HIS STATE DEPARTMENT OFFERS TO HELP NIGERIA WHILE BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA ACTIVELY SUPPORT AND DIRECT THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT AND MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD.

SORROS VISION :  OCCUPY WILL TURN VIOLENT THEN As anger rises, riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable. “Yes, yes, yes,” he says, almost gleefully. The response to the unrest could be more damaging than the violence itself. “It will be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

Occupy Wall Street “is an inchoate, leaderless manifestation of protest,” but it will grow. It has “put on the agenda issues that the institutional left has failed to put on the agenda for a quarter of a century.” He reaches for analysis, produced by the political blog ThinkProgress.org, that shows how the Occupy movement has pushed issues of unemployment up the agenda of major news organizations, including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. It reveals that in one week in July of last year the word “debt” was mentioned more than 7,000 times on major U.S. TV news networks. By October, mentions of the word “debt” had dropped to 398 over the course of a week, while “occupy” was mentioned 1,278 times, “Wall Street” 2,378 times, and “jobs” 2,738 times. You can’t keep a financier away from his metrics.

In spite of his warnings of political turmoil in the U.S., he has no plans to engage in politics directly. “I would prefer not to be involved in party politics. It’s only because I felt that the Bush administration was misleading the country that I became involved. I was very hopeful of a new beginning with Obama, and I’ve been somewhat disappointed. I remain a supporter of the Democratic Party, but I’m fully aware of their shortcomings.” Soros believes Obama still has a chance of winning this year’s election. “Obama might surprise the public. The main issue facing the electorate is whether the rich should be taxed more. It shouldn’t be a difficult argument for Obama to make.”

OccupyNigeria shows the movement’s global face
Cuts in fuel subsidies have inspired demonstrators in Africa’s most populous country to demand change.Even as the Occupy movement recedes in size, if not in activism, in the global North, it has, to its own surprise, opened up a new front in Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria – where tens of thousands have occupied and paralysed the economy in a protest against the lifting of oil subsidies.

This is a movement that is actually spreading, according to Lambert Strether, as quoted on NakedCapitalism.com:

“And although some see Occupy as an aerial canopy of leaping bright fire, I prefer to see Occupy as a species of rhizome: A mass of roots growing slowly and irresistibly, indeed invasively, and scaling horizontally by sending out runners everywhere. Underground and in the dark. Right now cold, but soon to be warm. And just like hops, asparagus, ginger, turmeric, galangal, irises or Lily of the Valley, if you chop an Occupation into pieces, you get as many Occupations as the pieces you chopped.”

Suddenly in rapid succession, protests are popping up in disparate places across the globe.

Occupiers in the US have moved “troops” from lower Manhattan to Congress in Washington.

Chinese activists are occupying villages and South Africans continue protests in townships against what they call a “new apartheid”.

And, in Nigeria, a mass movement is gathering, in a country known more for its capitalist proclivities than activist leanings.

Even though the first name of Nigeria’s president is “Goodluck”, he isn’t having much in battling a citizens’ movement, led by unions and activists.

Occupy Nigeria explains:

“It all started on January 1, 2011, when the announcement of fuel subsidy removal by the federal government sent everyone into a crazy frenzy, people rushed to petrol stations to see if they could get PMS at the former price of NGN 65 [40 US cents], but the petrol stations had already implemented the new price regime.

“Nigerians suffered under the burden of the new price hike for two weeks, before their cries led organised labour to embark on a nationwide strike to protest government actions. Different organisations and personalities began to emerge as leaders championing the cause of the people; bodies like Nigerian Medical Association and Nigerian Bar Association immediately joining the strike in major Nigerian cities across the country.”
