by Jerome Roos on February 22, 2012

When even the media paragon of free-market ideology argues that “Greece must default if it wants democracy,” you know something is profoundly wrong.
Here at ROAR, we usually don’t rely on the analyses brought forward by the mainstream media; in particular not those of the unreconstituted neoliberal intelligentsia at the Financial Times. But the latest article by financial analyst and EU expert Wolfgang Münchau deserves being disseminated widely. Arguing that “Greece must default if it wants democracy,” Münchau has just launched his most scathing critique of the EU’s approach to Greece yet:

Conjuring up memories of Franco’s dictatorship, a peaceful student protest in Spain was violently disturbed by police assaults on harmless minors.
A peaceful protest against budget cuts in education in Valencia, Spain on Tuesday ended in bloody police repression. Conjuring up memories of Franco’s brutal dictatorship, squads of riot police violently assaulted a group of some 300 students, arresting at least 26 and leaving scores injured. YouTube footage displayed a policeman forcefully pushing two girls onto a car, while photos emerged of young kids with bloodied faces surrounded by riot police.

Please share. Big brother, we are watching you. Part of OCCUPY THE MOVIE, an indy film series aiming to be entirely funded by the 99%. Join us, become a crowd funding producer at: http://www.indiegogo.com/OccupyTheMovie
An introductory tutorial for aspiring citizen journalists to consider before next entering the field. You are needed more than ever, to bring the people direct truth, taking out the middle man in the archaic mainstream media. Each camera is a new set of eyes we all share in near real time - no one can take this from us, so it is imperative we refine and develop new skills and strategies to capture the missteps of power. Let us know if you have any ideas for a follow up video about how to better film a revolution!

The Global Square: a call for coders to build the platform
| The Global Square — a proposal launched on ROAR last year — is starting to take shape. Now we need coders to help us build the actual platform! Call from our partners at WikiLeaks Central: The Global Square (original proposal/project description here) aims to be the first massive decentralized social network in the history of the Internet. We are aware of the difficulties we must overcome, but we believe the Internet Community has reached a point where such an initiative is possible. It is possible because we are more united; censorship and repression have created stronger bonds between those who care about freedom and the free flow of information. How can we achieve this goal? |

Gritos en el Cielo
http://lumination.fi/gritos/Gritos_es.html
Gritos en el cielo es una película documental de observación sobre un movimiento civil que nace en mayo de 2011 en Barcelona. El movimiento crea un nuevo espacio que desafía la pasividad de la sociedad mediante la ocupación de la plaza principal de la ciudad. A medida que el movimiento se hace más grande, el Estado y los medios de comunicación utilizan muchas maneras para tratar de desacreditar y detener al movimiento de un modo violento, pero ellos, los ciudadanos que conforman este movimiento, han decidido resistir pacíficamente para introducir un cambio de verdad. En la película seguimos muchos diálogos entre las personas, la policía, las ideologías, las fuerzas políticas y económicas, y el Estado.
La historia gira en torno a la Plaza de Cataluña, punto central del movimiento en Barcelona. Durante los meses que se mantuvo la plaza ocupada, se exigía una democracia real y la reformulación de las estructuras económicas y políticas.
