“The police are invading Occupy Oakland right now!”
That is the urgent scary message that my friend and activist El Häkkinen wrote a few hours ago, posting the brief note just as the police were closing in upon the Occupy Oakland site in California. At this hour I still don’t know if she is okay or hurt, or has been arrested by the Oakland Police. Packs of officers in full riot gear swarmed the peaceful encampment a bit after 3 in the morning today, utilizing rubber bullets, tear gas and other violent weapons on the sleeping occupation.

In the spring and summer of 1932 tens of thousands of war veterans and their families set up encampments in our nation’s capital to demand their promised military benefits from the government. Their tent cities bear a striking resemblance to the scores of Occupy protest encampments that have recently sprouted up across the globe.
