interesting since Buenos Aries also had their biggest mass protest since x year within the past week.

the corruption is global in nature..

Beautiful island.

My concern is that the government has effectively putting these demonstrations down since the 60's no?

I'm curious....anyone have any idea why the one long street scene was photoshop'ed to blur the street down one side and blur the tree on the other? I thought about file size..but that may well make it worse, not better...so that makes no sense. I just don't see, honestly, why and was hoping someone might have an idea? Obvious editing of photos for topics like this always stop me short and ask why?

I believe it. I was down there in April, and the politics was overwhelming. Even then, it was kind of an ongoing joke with the locals about the mafia being heavily in bed with government, but it wasn't really meant to be funny. They were serious about it, and I could tell.

I think the person who took that pic thought it would look better or thought it was more artsy. You don't have to take my word for it, but I was there and it was massive. That's just one area too, it was many more people. I added more pics from different angles. I will add more as soon as they become available, this happened a few hours ago.

Your person to person news is better than the pulp we get through the MSM even here in the supposed "land of the free" (where the banks own the land and nothing is free..)...
I hope this goes viral....
Spain,Greece,Iceland,Dominican Republic,the world is begginning to stir from its slumber......
The obvious ripoff that our system becomes for the majority of its peoples.....and the way it is getting shoved in our faces everywhere...........
We need to keep these lines of communications flowing.....
thanks for reporting.....or we may never even have heard about it......
There will come a time when the whole world will rise.....it may be sooner than we think as consciousness rises to a point till suddenly EVERYBODY KNOWS.........thats the instant that we can change this thing around somehow.......

Wish you well . thanks for letting us know whats happening , lsol
