My point is the call for mobilizations on 15-October originated at TakeTheSquare.net in May/June this year. By the end on June planning for a march on Brussels was under way, which was supposed to get to Brussels within a week or two before 15 October in preparation for the "occupy" event. The Occupy Wall Street people planned to join that by occypying wall street on September 15 and build up to 15 October.

And now we're told that the 15 October event is a copycat of Wall St, that the date originated there, and that there' a vague connection to Tahrir, Syntagma or Sol.

You're free to believe whatever you want.
