Video- Anti-Wall St. rallies continue in US

Hundreds of protesters have once again taken to the streets of New York to protest prevailing corporate greed and social inequalities in the United States, Press TV reports.

With the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protests entering their third week, many demonstrators were dressed as Zombies on Tuesday to symbolize what they have described as the lifeless and cruel nature of corporate America.

Anti-Wall Street demonstrators appeared optimistic and unaffected by the events of Saturday when New York City police arrested more than 1000 protesters as they tried to cross the Brooklyn Bridge.

Hundreds of protesters have poured onto the streets in New York and other major US cities to protest poverty, unemployment, corporatism, social inequality, and other shortcomings that have been plaguing the country for more than three years amid a nationwide economic crisis.

The rallies originally started over two weeks ago under the banner ‘Occupy Wall Street,’ when activists and demonstrators announced their determination to seize the major US financial district in protest to the country’s dire economic conditions, which they said were caused by corporate greed.

Similarly, many demonstrators have taken to the streets in Chicago and Los Angeles, bearing antiwar placards and expressing outrage over the country’s high unemployment rate, which stood at 9.1 percent in August.

Some political analysts have voiced concerns that mainstream media refrain from covering the protests.

“The average American who derives his principally from television would have no idea that this protest movement is taking place,” James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, noted.

Some of the protesters say the idea to occupy the most vital financial centers of the US was inspired by popular uprisings in the past months in Middle Eastern and North African countries, widely referred to as the “Islamic Awakening.”
