Beside all this, we live in a world with a lot of pollution, pharmaceutical companies based on profit and money, rich people standing above poor people, where the news is no longer fair and objective and there are more invisible threats as a person can imagine. The oil spills, irresponsibility with chemicals, a nuclear threat from Japan and worldwide volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. These are threats that aren’t being told to us, but are there.

In the meantime, the problems in the Netherlands are getting bigger as well. Unemployment is growing, healthcare is being reduced, we get an own risk policy that is no longer affordable, the judicial system is reduced to nothing, the police can no longer do what they’re there for, housing is almost not possible anymore and Dutch politics have sank to a bad theater piece.

TIME FOR ACTION IN OTHER WORDS because this is not the world that we want to leave behind for our children. We don’t want that because it is something we ought to be ashamed of.

We of imagine2b are a Group of worried civilians who understand that the system like it is now may no longer be held in place. Without wanting to point a finger, we get that we have all contributed to this chaos. However hard this may be to stomach for many people.

Regardless of who you are, what you do or who you’re aligned with, it is clear to everybody that there are a lot of things that have to be changed on the short term to get the world right and livable. Being against business is pointless because we are all caught in a web of rules, interests and much worse, we are totally dependent on money. Kicking against something only causes friction at this moment because we simply all play along with a system that should never have been.

We’ve had enough, that’s why we decided to stand on the Square of The Hague every Thursday to call out to think about a better world.

What nobody wants:

• Being in hunger
• Witnessing war
• Being exploited
• Being robbed
• Being abused
• Being lied to
• Being laughed at
• Being bullied

If we ask every person personally what they do want (what we do on Thursdays) we get the same answers from everybody.

Everyone wants:

• To be happy
• To be recognized
• To have food
• To live on a more peaceful world
• More equality
• Healthy food
• Good healthcare
• Clean nature
• To be respected
• And much more

This is why we are on the square in The Hague every Thursday to call people to work toward the world that everybody wants deep in their hearts from our personal conviction. There is no fixed structure and no specific leadership, because everybody has to take part because of their own personal convictions. Enough is enough and change starts with ourselves.

Every Thursday we hand out white roses to passers-by with an attached flyer that has the lyrics of Imagine by John Lennon on it.

If enough people could imagine that it is possible to create a world that is good for everybody and where everybody can live freely, then the mass that can force the change will form eventually.

Free energy, clean energy, good health, happiness, freedom, equality, brothership, honesty and openness are things we stand for.

Imagine all the people!! We hope some day you will join us.

Do you want to read a poem? Do it! Do you want to bang a drum? It’s fine! Are you an artist and do you want people to listen to your song or watch your show? We think it’s great.

Do you know people? Bring them! Do you know people with a lot of contacts? Bring them! Are you someone that can print a lot of flyers? Get up and join us.

Do you want to tell us of your vision and make your message heard? Tell us!

We do not accept racism, hate, calling to violence, criminal business, hard drugs, a negative attitude to the police or propagating a political party.

We are there for ourselves because we are sovereign and know that we can all work it out if we work together.

Because only together we can Call for change. Every Thursday in The Hague!

That is what an employee of Doctors Without Borders in Paris said Tuesday.

Doctors of the charity are illegally entered the country after they had received no permission from Syria to work in the cities of Homs. and Idlib.

They  achieve to reach Homs and Idlib strongholds of the opposition. ,, There is a very special situation in Syria.

It is not possible to impartial help and the constant harassment of the wounded and doctors is part of the strategy of the Syrian police, “said the employee.

Occupy Wall Street was initiated by the Canadian activist group Adbusters, and partly inspired by the Arab Spring, especially Cairo’s Tahrir Square protests, and theSpanish Indignants. The movement commonly uses the slogan We are the 99%, the #Occupy hashtag format, and organizes through websites such as “Occupy Together”. According to the Washington Post, the movement, which has been described as a “democratic awakening” by Cornel West, is difficult to distill to a few demands. On October 12, the Los Angeles City Council became one of the first governmental bodies in the United States to adopt a resolution stating its informal support of the Occupy movement.

The first Occupy protest to receive wide coverage was Occupy Wall Street in New York City’s Zuccotti Park, which began on September 17, 2011. By October 9, Occupy protests had taken place or were ongoing in over 95 cities across 82 countries, and over 600 communities in the United States.Although most popular in the United States, Occupy has seen protests and occupations in dozens of other countries and on every continent. Each Occupy site set up a camp – including tents and outdoor kitchens – in a park or other public space, often near the city or town’s financial district, to establish a semi-permanent protest area. For the first two months of the protest, authorities largely adopted a tolerant approach towards the movement, though this began to change in mid November with over a dozen camps being cleared in both the US and Europe. By the end of 2011 authorities had cleared out most of the major camps. The last remaining high profile camps – at Washington DC and at St Paul’s Cathedral in London – were cleared in February 2012. Yet protesters at many locations continue to organize and stage demonstrations.

The Occupy movement attracted less attention in the Winter of 2011 compared with Autumn, as participation and activity dropped. By February 2012 several journalists began suggesting that the movement was beginning to fade away, though this was frequently denied by occupiers themselves, who said that they had merely entered a less visible planning stage. By mid-March activity began to increase, with Occupy activists staging high profile rallies and attempting to re-occupy their original camp in Zuccotti Park

the #occupy movement

is an international, people-driven movement of individuals with many different backgrounds and political beliefs. Since we no longer trust our elected officials to represent anyone other than their wealthiest donors, #occupy empowers real people to create real change from the bottom up. Organized in over 100 cities in the United States, the movement aims to fight back against the system that has allowed the richest 1% to write the rules governing an unbalanced and inequitable global economy, and thus foreclosing on our future.

The leaders of Greece’s once-dominant political parties make their final effort on Friday to form a coalition and avert a new election, which a poll showed would all but wipe them out and give victory to a radical leftist who rejects an EU bailout.

ATHENS | Fri May 11, 2012

ATHENS (Reuters) -

Greece’s politicians failed on Friday to agree a new government, sending the country hurtling towards a new vote, with radical leftists leading in the polls and poised to scrap the 130 billion euro bailout that staved off bankruptcy.

The prospect of a new election just weeks after an inconclusive vote that paralyzed the most troubled country in the euro zone caused havoc in financial markets.

The European single currency hit its lowest point since January near $1.29, while the Athens stock exchange fell more than 4 percent to its lowest level since 1992.

Outgoing finance minister Evangelos Venizelos, leader of the Socialist PASOK party, acknowledged his failure to form a government after he was spurned by radical leftist Alexis Tsipras, who has sworn to tear up the bailout.

“The moment of truth is here. I will inform the president tomorrow afternoon. I hope everybody shows maturity and responsibility in consultations with the president,” he said.

President Karolos Papoulias will now have a last chance to meet with all political leaders to convince them to agree a cabinet, although the odds of success are seen as scant. If he fails as expected, he must call a new election for mid-June.

Venizelos had tried to form a unity coalition government, but the offer was brushed aside by Tsipras, who saw it as a scheme to salvage the bailout that most voters rejected.

“It is not the Left Coalition that has refused this proposal, but the Greek people, who did so with their vote on Sunday,” Tsipras said.

Venizelos’s PASOK party and its conservative New Democracy partners dominated the country for generations but were punished by voters for jointly agreeing the bailout. Sunday’s vote saw their combined share fall to 32 percent from 77 percent.

Still, they had come close to forming a government because of a rule that gives the single largest party – New Democracy – an extra 50 seats in the 300-seat house, an advantage they are now poised to lose.

A new poll showed Tsipras’s SYRIZA headed for first place after consolidating the anti-bailout vote, which means he would take the 50 bonus seats and reduce the pro-bailout contingent to only about a third of parliament.

Greek politics would be radically transformed and a thunderbolt felt across Europe, where voters are turning against German-backed austerity, and where the once iron-fast principle that no country could leave the euro currency is now in doubt.

“I appeal to the sense of national responsibility of all (Greek) political leaders to reach an agreement respecting the country’s engagement and ensuring its European future,” European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said.

The overwhelming majority of Greeks still want to stay in the euro. Tsipras’s party says that can be achieved without accepting the terms of the bailout, which was hammered out earlier this year when Greece was weeks away from running out of funds.

“They will be begging us to take the money,” SYRIZA deputy Dimitris Stratoulis said of the bailout, arguing that European leaders would not dare risk a Greek exit from the euro that would wreck the single currency project.

But European leaders say they are determined to halt Greek funding if Athens rejects the bailout terms, even if that means pushing it into bankruptcy and a costly exit from the currency.

“We will only give it if Greece meets all agreements. Otherwise they won’t get the money,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said.

TSIPRAS TAPS VOTER FURY

Backers of the bailout say the wage cuts, tax hikes and economic reforms demanded by Brussels are the only way Greece can hope to become solvent. Opponents say it is self-defeating – making Greece’s debt problem worse by destroying its chances of economic growth and imposing extreme hardship on a population already enduring five years of recession.

The younger generation has been hit particularly hard – more than half of Greek youth are unemployed. They appear to have found a hero in Tsipras, a boyish 37-year-old civil engineer, ex-Communist and former student leader.

In a country fed up with middle-aged party dynasts widely seen as corrupt, he has become a star – aided by a self-confident manner and good looks.

Samaras and Venizelos may be hoping Greeks – frightened by the prospect of a hasty exit from the euro – will return to their traditional parties in a vote re-run.

But the first opinion poll since the election showed the main beneficiary of a new vote would be Tsipras. It gave SYRIZA 27.7 percent of the vote, almost 11 points up on its Sunday result, and well ahead of New Democracy on about 20 percent.

Ratings agency Fitch said the emergence of a government that disavowed the bailout terms would increase the chance of Greece leaving the euro zone, an event it said would put the credit ratings of all euro countries at risk.

Greece could run out of money as soon as the end of June. The prospect that Greece might declare bankruptcy and leave the euro caused panic across the euro zone last year. Since then, European banks have written off the value of most of their Greek debt, making them less prone to shock if Greece defaults.
