The European Protest Movement Is Europe in "Pre revolutionary" Mode?



www.globalresearch.ca...

Are the attacks against police stations, the exclusive Athens boutiques and their private security companies (or goons) all part of an overall general exasperation with current policies which have bred intolerable social inequity , and are part of a popular uprising against the ruling classes and their valets the law enforcement stooges? “.

Nah, there's a few of us out there that are willing to go to the mat...I started a thread last week about sending teabags to our congressional reps and senators for a good 'ol fashioned Tea Party that was pretty much met with a resounding silence, though.... details here: www.abovetopsecret.com...'

Not trying to hijack, but it does seem that Americans, for the most part, are a very complacent and docile bunch when it comes to confronting their criminal government...but you get what you deserve, eh?

Now that the state of Kalifornia is withholding tax returns, in essense stealing money from taxpayers, one would expect to see a protest or two..but no...It makes me wonder if Americans even deserve the limited freedoms that they have left

If China blows, watch out. The Tianemen Square protest will look like a tea party.

Fears for stability The head of China's judiciary has called on courts to maintain social stability amid the global economic slowdown, saying the number of labor disputes had jumped by 94 percent in the first 10 months of 2008, compared with the same period the year before.

well, i for one will not go quietly, as I wrote about in this thread. I'd appreciate if you'd read, you don't have to comment if you don't want. I think we should get organized. Easier said than done, huh? In the mean time I'd recommend doing anything you can, even little shows of anarchism and non-compliance.

Good rundown of the players in the revolution that is "in the air" in Europe.

Governments across Europe tremble as angry people take to the streets



www.guardian.co.uk...

The Latvian central bank's governor went on national television this week to pronounce the economy "clinically dead. We have only three or four minutes to resuscitate it".


Wow. Could you imageine the IMPACT that statement would have had if Paulson spoke truthfully .

Add this from Nevada. UNR students protesting a 45% cut in higher education funds. Threatening to close whole campuses across the state.

Edit to add:

This is going to ruffle some social feathers here as well. And as this economy unwinds we will see more and more Madoffs exposed. Which will likely piss everyone off once they figure out how badly they've been screwed. The following ATS thread is about the drying up of unemployment benefits.

I will go to any rally within driving distance. Given the economic circumstances, I can't exactly fly across the country to protest.

I am a little surprised that there has not been ANY demonstrations against Gov. Bailouts.

And don't get me started on the moronic French .. they are not heroes, they are not brave, they are not protesting for any cause.. they are being French. And that one noun is all that needs to be said about that. French.

Police had previously confirmed 44 deaths, with most of those in a store that was burnt during looting on Monday when an anti-government protest degenerated into violence.
