OCCUPY WALLSTREET in Baltimore, MD

The Occupy movement as you've read is worldwide. However, each country-and even city- has their own reasons for protesting. I went to the Occupy Wallstreet movement in Baltimore two weeks ago. Here's what I had to say.

In Rome.....

Normally at Zee Affairs we say "when in Rome." However, this time the practice is not starting in Rome. The Occupy protests which we can claim started with the Arab Spring, and caught on to the United States with "Occupy Wall Street", have also reached Rome, Italy and it looks as violent as ever. Looting, smashing stores, smashing police cars, being dounced with tear gas by police, all in an effort to stop greediness among the rich. We can only hope leaders are listening.
Let's wait and see what happens...

THIS is what Democracy looks like.

Occupy Wallstreet is Growing by the Masses. All over the country people express their distrust in big corporations and frustration with lack of jobs. Truly, truly a powerful picture.

ooohhhh She's in Troubbbble!!!

Queen Rania and her husband King Abdullah awwwww they look so cute.

In the first edition of "Who's Wearing the Pants" Queen Rania of Jordan is in trouble for "controlling politics." Really though? Really? Isn't this a couple hundred years too late? I mean really I like Queen Rania I do. However, the complaint was something that should have been corrected over ten years ago when she became first lady.
Many of us know Queen Rania for her style, many comparisons to America's first lady Michelle Obama, because of her class, style, an education and friend to my icon, Oprah Winfrey. However, I didn't know she was controlling!
Okay so here's how it went down (scary dramatic music in the background) King Abdullah had a meeting with the tribal leaders of Jordan who came to him, because of the recent uprisings (kind of like the ones in Egypt and Yemen)and they said to him that his wife has controlled too much of the political atmosphere. According to BBC the public has been complaining that Queen Rania has been building power centers for her own personal interest. As if they didn't insult the Queen enough they went below the belt pointing out the fact that (ghetto accent) she ain't even from Jordan. That's right Queen Rania is from Palestine so what the Bedouin tribal leaders were saying was "we don't know her like that."
Well, just because the tribal leaders in Jordan want to follow the leader in protests in the middle east does not mean they have to accuse Queen Rania of "power-jackin'" them. King Abdullah did dissolve his entire cabinet and hire a new PM, an action of which many people have been critical. I don't have problems with people recognizing what's wrong with leaders, but insulting the family members is just wayyyy too far.
Whew, I sure would hate to be in her shoes.

Royal Car gets HIT!!!!

O...M...G. Those were the letters that came out of my mouth when I saw this:



Apparently, the austerity measures that have been deliberated under the UK's coalition government have made the British public reach a boiling point. Why? the measures which included the increase of the Student Tuition Fee caused weeks of student protests. However, recently the battle line was drawn when the students attacked a car containing both Prince Charles and Camilla. The two were on their way to a theatre when students dounced paint on the car, attacked it with baseball bats, clubs, and other weopons. Police Officers who came on the scene had to use their car doors as shields when students brutally attacked their cars as well. Now that is a scene I wish I could have seen, but thank God for the Associated Press: A treat from me to you: Footage of the Attack.
