( 2010s: )     2011
Egyptians celebrate for the second night in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the epicentre of the Egyptian popular revolt, February 12, 2011. Tahrir Square became the start of occupying central squares as protest.

2011 will be remembered as the year that the Occupy Movement more or less spontaneously emerged, as a sudden crystallisation of the mass discontent which had been brewing for many years. Initially in USA, it quickly went global, and proved a wake up call to many. The destruction of Libya, planning to launch a gold-backed dinar, was one focus of foreign policy discontent.

In 2011, 18 countries, including 14 NATO members, launched premeditated aggression against Libya. Seven months of NATO airstrikes were estimated to have killed 60,000 Libyan civilians in what was termed a "humanitarian intervention". Pre-war propaganda included lies about "Viagra rapes" by Libyan forces of Muammar Gadaffi.

Occupy Movement

Sergeant John Pike practices his pepper-spray technique on 30 students of UC Davis. They were later awarded $30,000 each in compensation, while he was awarded $38,056 for "psychological injuries" after being publicly derided for his action.

An invitation from Adbusters inviting people to protest Wall St. by physically occupying the space proved to be a spark which ignited a huge well of discontent and hinger for real change amongst young and old in the USA. This movement quickly went global as activists used the internet to collaborate and for mutual encouragement. Similarly to the flower power movement of the late 1960s, the movement seemed to catch the establishment unawares and they were initially nonplussed, before resorting to that time trusted staple of violent repression.

Plans held (made?) by the Dallas police department to assassinate leaders of the local Occupy encampment were not implemented. A February 2015 ruling of Judge Rosemary M. Collyer allowed the plot to remain secret.
