In Solidarity with #Occupywallstreet WASHINGTON -- The United Nations envoy for freedom of expression is drafting an official communication to the U.S. government demanding to know why federal officials are not protecting the rights of Occupy demonstrators whose protests are being disbanded -- sometimes violently -- by local authorities.
The United Nations is not a world community, it is a community of tyrants
The United Nations is not a world community, it is a community of tyrants. There is no world community, because most of the people of the world are not free to have any say in their own lives. To talk about the UN as if it has any moral standing, is as ridiculous as getting the guards and inmates of a prison to vote together on what conditions inside the prison should be like. The UN is not a force for peace, it is a force for maintaining the political status quo for its louder voices, and for grinding under those free countries they consider their enemies.
Frank La Rue, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression who made summer headlines when he proclaimed Internet access as a basic human right, conducted his research and delivered his conclusions with the support of organizations funded by liberal financier George Soros, The Daily Caller has learned.
La Rue’s statements on Internet freedom caused alarm among conservatives who believe “net neutrality” is a vehicle for a government takeover of the Internet.

Public property is public property. The people camping in that park. It belongs to them as well.
Alistair McKenzie, an attorney for the movement, argued that a special events permit does not apply to First Amendment activity and that the lawn of City Hall is the "quintessential public forum." McKenzie also argued that the city is treating the lawn like a city park when it's not one by putting set hours of use on it. City Attorney Jim Messer said a city ordinance makes it unlawful for anyone to occupy or set up an enclosure, tent or obstruction on any city property. "There is no First Amendment right to erect tents anywhere," Messer said.
