Rebellion! Who Truly Takes Over? Could Our Worries Be Realized?

With all of the stories that have broken out over the last year or so, concerning our now, real concern over those that are oppressed, who will have there grubby hands in the countries that are now, according to the media, overwhelmed with happiness due to being free, but now have no "leaders"?

I would like to present a bit of information concerning the current situation and other stories that are not being mentioned around the world. Because right now, with all the ruckus, I think that we need to see this at a different angle, on many of our fears of a New World Order being put in place.


Myself and I am sure many others here on ATS, have either thought of the authenticity of the NWO, or even underestimated it, and now it seems to have turned into a dirty word. Think back to when we figured we could see them coming a mile away. How could they swoop in and take over the world?

So I ask my fellow researchers, to maybe see at a different angle.

Middle East and North Africa in turmoil
In the following I will add bits, and links of course of the countries being "freed" by those who know whats best for them. The following links will also give information, and dates of the protests, and the either ongoing fights, or the overthrowing of a leader.

I will add a place, and a quote from the date that it started. The link will add all other dates until the most recent.
Algeria

Algerian police thwart a rally of pro-democracy supporters, breaking up the crowd to keep them from marching. Police brandishing clubs, but no firearms, weave their way through the crowd in central Algiers, banging their shields, tackling some protesters and keeping traffic flowing.
Feb. 12, 2011

Heavily outnumbered by riot police, thousands of Algerians defy government warnings and dodge barricades to rally in their capital, demanding democratic reforms a day after mass protests toppled Egypt's autocratic ruler. Protesters chant "No to the police state!" and "Give us back our Algeria."

Bahrain

Feb. 14, 2011

Demonstrators face rubber bullets and birdshot to demand more freedoms in the relative wealth of Bahrain. At least 25 people are injured, and one man dies after suffering severe head trauma. Police later use vans and other vehicles to block main roads into the capital of Manama to prevent a mass gathering that organizers intend as an homage to Egypt's Tahrir Square.

The date of the protests is the anniversary of Bahrain's 2002 constitution, which brought an elected parliament and other pro-democracy reforms to the country. Bahrain is the home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which plays a major role in obstructing Iran's attempts to expand its influence in the region.

It's also believed that many of the online organizers were Syrians living abroad. After the "days of rage," Syrians said Facebook and Youtube became available for the first time in three years. The country has had a longstanding ban on social networking sites.

All I am saying is that there is now an uprising all over the world, some on the basis of "if they can do it.. we can do it". Everyone, and I mean everyone is being controlled in some way, but an uprising of this magnitude may be just what "they" have been waiting for.

Peace, NRE.

BTW, I will add all of the others when I get all of the info together. I just wanted us to have a starting point.

Quite interesting.. But all rebellions really do is replace one group of oppressors with another.. Be a much better world when people realise that all are equal and that there is no need for leaders - a remnant of humanities primitive barbaric past that many cling to due to being unable/unwilling to think for themselves, take responsibility for their actions and accept others as equals..
S&F good thread as always..
