This is your non-Seattle Occupy news roundup:

1. This shit is going worldwide, according to CNN. Protests are kicking off in Australia and, well, pretty much everywhere else, too:

There are Facebook calls for a global demonstration on October 15 in cities in more than 25 countries stretching from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires, Dublin to Madrid.

Some protest pages show only a few dozen will attend; others have thousands. Protest pages in Spain and Italy — two countries hard hit by the financial crisis and subsequent European Union debt woes — have the largest Facebook attendees so far, with 42,410 and 20,568, respectively.

2. Occupy Portland is still putting Occupy Seattle to shame (at lest until tomorrow, that is). Here's the Merc's liveblog of the protests. Occupiers there say they're not moving.

3. 4,000 protesters have taken over Austin City Hall, in what KXAN reports is a "virtually unprecedented" protest.

4. Big Republican douche Eric Cantor says he is "increasingly concerned" by the Occupy "mobs."

5. If you're coming out to the protests on Saturday and you don't know how these things work, Occupy Oklahoma City (and other groups) have started disseminating this flier, which is a kind of Protesting for Dummies guidebook.

6. What do Teabaggers have to say about all this?

...[Tea Party Express chairwoman Amy] Kremer told POLITICO. “I think they’re just unhappy people that don’t know really what they want.”

Kremer insisted that the protesters have “completely unrealistic” goals and lack a unified message, and that the absence of clear objectives make it difficult to take the demonstrators seriously.

“You know, it’s really kind of bizarre. These kids are out there and have on these T-shirts that say ‘F capitalism.’ It’s really ironic that they’re out there and communicating through their gadgets that were created through competition and free enterprise and capitalism,” she said.

7. Here's a sign the Occupy movement has arrived: Meet Occupy Tulsa.

8. The right-leaning Boston Herald reports that Occupy Boston is reaching out to the homeless, which is something every Occupy group ought to be doing.

9. Occupy Washington D.C. keeps getting bigger.

10. One Occupy L.A. protester received a last-minute reprieve from an impending eviction. She's continuing to protest.
