Screengrab: What's in that OccupyLSX tent?
The meeting that was held today between St. Paul's Cathedral and the City of London Corporation has resulted in this particular greed and religion branch of the 1% elite club proposing to seek legal injunctions to evict the protesters from #OccupyLSX. This tactic being deployed by St. Paul’s and its backers the shady City of London Corporation is set to backfire badly. The more they threaten, the worse it will get. Public opinion is with the protesters that will build and build, while camp OccupyLSX stays firmly put drawing more and more people to its cause. The Anglican faith is now being perceived around the world as the corporate greed tool completely lacking in moral authority. It’s an even worse day for the mainstream media that have been doing anything and everything they can to try to discredit the protesters and when finding nothing to fit their desired storyline have proceeded to overt fabrication. Occupying much space has been the claim that OccupyLSX is a part time protest with most of the tents left empty at night. This turns out to be absolutely not true as the video released today proves. As of today, the score goes like this: Corporate Christians/Media zero, OccupyLSX 6. First set to the Occupy movement.

Michael Moore is an Academy-Award winning filmmaker and best-selling author
Somehow, I found a crack through the wall and made it through. I feel very blessed that I have this life -- and I take none of it for granted. I believe in the lessons I was taught back in Catholic school -- that if you end up doing well, you have an even greater responsibility to those who don't fare the same. "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." Kinda commie, I know, but the idea was that the human family was supposed to divide up the earth's riches in a fair manner so that all of God's children would have a life with less suffering. Back on that November day in 1989 when I sold my first film, a good friend of mine said this to me: "They have made a huge mistake giving someone like you a big check. This will make you a very dangerous man."

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will learn next week of the verdict in his fight against his extradition to Sweden to answer allegations of sexual misconduct, the organization said Thursday. In February, a judge ruled that Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual molestation against two women. Lawyers for Assange filed an appeal at the High Court, and insist the activist would not receive a fair trial. Britain's Royal Courts of Justice could not immediately be reached to confirm details of next week's hearing. Swedish prosecutors have not charged Assange with any crime, but have demanded that he returns to Scandinavia to face questions about the case. Assange, who was briefly detained in prison custody, has been living under curfew at a supporter's rural mansion in eastern England while he has contested the demand for his extradition.

Prime Minister David Cameron
Given how relentlessly and ceaselessly we are told that Britain is on the verge of debt crisis – and that this can only be remedied with a programme of deep rapid public spending cuts – it’s a staggering fact that David Cameron is in fact exacerbating the very problems he claims he wants to solve. The coalition have had to downgrade growth forecasts several times over the past three quarters, began this financial year with increased borrowing, and unemployment has hit a 17-year-high at 2.57 million. Cameronomics has been tried and tested in Ireland, Greece and Portugal: and it hasn’t worked. Every debate about drugs policy must begin by acknowledging one hard, solid fact: the market for drugs is ineradicable. Thirty five per cent of the British population admit they have taken an illicit substance. The answer is to legalise: to take drugs away from armed criminal gangs, and hand them over to doctors, pharmacists, and off-licenses. And here’s where the economics comes in. The first and most obvious saving to the Treasury would be in the tax revenue generated by cannabis sales. Transform Drugs Policy Foundation report that 4.036 billion goes on the criminal justice system every year (at least 50% of Britain’s prison population are in for drug offences) – a sum that would collapse under legalisation. The UK drugs trade constitutes a giant 6.6 billion pound market: an un-taxed vacuum in to which money is sucked.

Safety concerns with the popular birth control pill Yaz increased Thursday as federal health scientists reported that the Bayer drug and other newer birth control treatments appear to increase the risk of dangerous blood clots more than older medications. A new study released by the Food and Drug Administration reviewed the medical history of more than 800,000 U.S. women taking different forms of birth control between 2001 and 2007. On average, woman taking Yaz had a 75 percent greater chance of experiencing a blood clot than women taking older birth control drugs. The agency also reported higher complications in women using the Ortho Evra patch from Johnson & Johnson and the Nuvaring vaginal ring from Merck & Co. Inc. Those drugs combine estrogen, which is present in all birth control pills, with two other synthetic hormones launched in the last decade. A study published earlier this week involving more than 1 million Danish women found that wome n taking Yaz and other newer medications had twice the risk of blood clots as women taking the older hormone levonorgestrel. Birth-control pills that contain drospirenone include Bayer's Yaz, Yasmin, Beyaz, Safyral; Sandoz's Syeda and Loryna; as well as Barr Laboratories' Ocella, Watson Pharmaceuticals' Zarah and Teva Pharmaceuticals' Loryna.
