author david korten has been studying the root causes of why thousands are protesting across his country he says a police crackdown so the demonstrations are only fueling anger against an unfair system. the bulk of the protesters are deeply committed to nonviolence which is extremely important and i think the police sometimes fail to recognize that when they attack nonviolent protesters it really exposes the the corruption of the system and the fact that the police also mostly are fielded to protect the one percent and not to protect the free speech rights of the rest of us that actually draws more support for the protest they are finally drawing attention to the fact that we have an economy actually not only in the united states but in the world that is predominately working for the for the one percent of people who control the financial system it is not working for the ninety nine percent we've had so much conversation in the united states fueled by corporate media focusing attention on the problem as obama as the problem is the government skipping over the wall street

10:07 am
same scenario the syrian opposition is borrowing a page from the playbook for libya they know that they can come to power only with the advance with the support with the intervention through multiple means of the nato powers of the western powers and i think what we can tell the syrian people is look at what happened in libya the issue of a no fly zone sounds like go a way to defend civilians it's really a way to begin the war to begin military operations against the syrian air force or air defenses i think the first and this is the plan of the obama administration is not direct military intervention but to promote a civil war inside of syria i think they realize that the syrian government is substantially stronger militarily and within the arab world as compared to khadafi but they can use the human beings who have grievances valid or not to be the human

addiction repeated all around the world but it's not helping the main exporters which has been left floundering. japanese for the most popular food in the world and definitely i think there are many other companies like ours doing the same business and everywhere else in these companies are suffering major consequences from a strong year. when the national currency is up it pushes exports down japanese goods just too expensive to compete on the wild stage and its profits disappear so do people's livelihoods stagnant growth the strong man and the massive national debt some economists japan maybe all a few years away from its own major economic crisis and says this east asian nation remains the world's number three economy the consequence of the big global this is something japan's political leaders are determined to avoid and many are calling

urgent action. please industry can probably enjoy the current seventy five year into the dollar level for a little while but if the situation doesn't change over a longer period i think we're going to see japanese factories and large companies move their operations overseas places like vietnam thailand or china this would lead to a hollowing out of japanese domestic industry and create unemployment is facing an extraordinary economic crisis. that despite the worries of ruling party lawmakers it is not clear there is anything the japanese government can really do to prevent the story from leading japanese businessman stop. money. going in supply industry is gradually losing its ability to sell their products machines just aren't selling see the world faces these conditions japanese

protesters of occupy wall street are clearly bad up with last treat and with washington so what it would have to say to there would be a process this week let's talk about that i would like to say you are human beings also do you see the suffering that people are going through you know what it's like we want the health insurance that you have everybody should have their health insurance we should have the basic rights and the basic care we the people more than your rhetoric we need you to join us because they're just people to a champion on sources that we need your help for personhood what is that and corporations that are have felt as though it's ok to exploit people and exploit the planet for profit and profit alone so what do you have to say less cooperation well i don't have to say anything other than i don't support them how do you say be fair and share to someone or something that does not know what what kind of concept this

is and to cause the we practice we're a community where we share our resources people are are so greedy and so bed by money and wealth and materialism and consumerism you still have a message for all these corporate bigwigs who are taking millions and not supporting their messages and so them my message is to make sure that these soldiers that are here and they continue to believe that this conversation is important and that these people are involved in a process of constructing a role where dreams are possible right now dreams aren't possible in america for a lot of people these people each of the elite their dreams must continue that's why we're here so it seems like the bottom line is that protesters are less interested in talking to wall streeters and washington times that and more interested in keeping the conversation and the power among the people themselves.
