 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 - although it failed to agree on coherent aims. The destruction of Libya, planning to launch a gold-backed dinar, was one focus of discontent with US Foreign Policy.

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.

Just 2 years after Charlie Skelton's groundbreaking report about the 2009 Bilderberg, in 2011, BBC acknowledged a changing of the official narrative about the group, artfully entitling an article Bilderberg mystery: Why do people believe in cabals? - reframing the "mystery" associated with the group to speculation about the mental health of people who question its toxic nature.[2]
