Forget Back to the Future – Mobile Phone Spotted in 1928 at Chap
The above video seems to show a time traveling old woman on a cell phone outside of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1928, on her way to see a Charlie Chaplin movie. (jump to 2:40 to see the clip – must be one hell of a signal )
You can see the person holding something a few experts have...
This video shows the “Human Mic” which the people who are occupying Wall Street have had to use as New York City requires a permit for “amplified sound” in public places something that the people in Occupy Wall Street surprisingly can’t get hold of.
This means that microphones and speakers are banned from Liberty Plaza, and the NYPD has also been interpreting the law to include battery-powered bullhorns. Violators can be sentenced for up to thirty days in prison.
Another interesting point is that Liberty Plaza is not actually a public park. It’s privately owned by Brookfield Office Properties, landlords to Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, and in addition to amplified sound, they’ve also sought to ban sleeping bags, tents and other equipment from what they call “Zuccotti Park.”
However coverage of these interesting events finally seem to be picking up around the world!
The video above is a clip featuring Michael Moore and he has some very interesting points of view I will leave you with one “All great movements start with just a few people!”
The above video shows journalist and author Chris Hedges at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration at Liberty Plaza this link to their web site shows what has been happening in New York and other cities.
Interestingly it does not seem to be getting much coverage here in the UK?
Not sure what coverage it is getting in the US or the rest of the world?

Its been a longtime since I first saw this speech by Charlie Chaplin from the film The Great Dictator (a must watch if you get the chance).
I was reminded today of this great piece of work by Mr Chaplin by Zee at the the next web (< click the link to find out more and see a full transcript of the speech).
I agree with Zee it is definitely worth watching and seems so apt today, so watch, listen and hopefully it might make you think and maybe this will come true :-
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die [now] liberty will never perish…
