Saturday saw over 1,000 cities worldwide swept by Occupy Protests, as the movement has gone global, and London was certainly no exception. London’s financial district attracted over 3,000 protesters, among them none other than Julian Assange, taking part in Occupy London Stock Exchange, or OccupyLSX.
Your Anon News posted images of Julian Assange arriving at the protest sporting an Anonymous mask, along with images without, proving that it was in fact the Wikileaks founder. The photographs, snapped by photographer Mike Kemp, tell part of the story of how Assange’s appearance at Occupy London was met.
Assange stated that a police officer forced him to remove the mask, and as a consequence, in a seemingly impromptu speech to one group of protesters, Assange spoke about anonymity, saying:
Under a new section used, people cannot wear masks in London, they cannot wear facial coverings in London, and that basic anonymity is denied to people. I say, that sometimes it may be legitimate to deny anonymity, but we should not accept it until Swiss bank account and offshore bank accounts are also denied of their anonymity.
Assange went on to say:
I ask that all of you demand that foreign bank accounts be opened up and made transparent, the same way that I today have been forced to be made transparent.
Assange’s appearance was met with cheers by most protesters, as well as some choice chants addressed at the media, with one protester reportedly shouting, “Let Jesus speak.” Not all of the protesters were welcoming, and before giving his speech, a group of protesters booed Assange, chanting “No heroes!”

1.) Sever the agreement the government made with the international banksters called the Federal Reserve; print United States dollars based on the collective wealth and assets of the nation. 2.) Investigate 9/11/01 and bring the war profiteers, so obviously guilty of crimes against nation and humanity to justice. 3.) Force all officials who so obviously violate the constitution on a routine daily business as usual basis out of office including, Obama and a majority of the administration, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, war profiteer Daine Feinstein, the majority of the house and Senate, most of the Supreme Court. They so obvoisly bow to the bull of the Wall Street Mammon god and are treasonous to nation and humanity.

LikeFarid El Nasire:
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
They are not a waste of time but they could end up that way unless the protestor speakers stop wasting time with "Tax the Rich" rhetoric. There's no point taxing Bankers because THEY can just create as much new money as they like through Fractional Reserve Lending and other accounting tricks.
