USA Government Hypocrisy

Anti-Banking / Anti-Government Demonstrations Occurring All Over the USA
|

Could it finally be happening?
Are you aware that huge demonstrations are occurring all over the United States, yet these demonstrations are ignored by the mainstream media? The demonstrations grow in size by the day, yet, as I said, they are ignored.... Even as the New York demonstrations reach nearly one million protestors. This just goes to show how the mass media is all a part of the scam to steal and rob the American public blind. Now, people are fed up with being cheated and getting ripped off by the government and the big banks.... (I did, though, find one major media report just out today: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Wall-Street-protesters-Were-apf-2881190123.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=4&asset=&ccode=)
Besides these reports on the Alternative media, basically these demonstrations do not exist as far as the MSM is concerned. But, ignore them or not, people are fed up and rising up.
The danger, as I have repeatedly pointed out, in the government's willful, intentional and repeated refusal to put an end to these abuses is that there is a point at which the people have had enough and will simply not sit for it any more, nor will they believe they can vote for a change and actually receive that change.
....How many people voted for "change" in 2008 yet did not receive it?
....How many people voted for "change" in 2008 yet did not receive it?
Once that point is reached civil order can be lost, perhaps irretrievably so.
Government, for its part, always seems to believe that this day will never come, no matter the severity of the abuses they tolerate by the rich and powerful, the favors they grant or the screwing they either mete out themselves or allow others to perform in exchange for some renumeration in campaign contributions. The King of England didn't think the people would snap. Neville Chamberlain was quite sure that we could have "peace in our time" through appeasement of bad acts by others, in his case Adolph Hitler. In the more-recent past there was Hosni Mubarak, among others.
Likewise, both President Bush and President Obama have taken this same approach, and have even said in public that we must "move on" and not look to what happened, but to what we can do in the future.
Will this willful refusal to hold people to account for their ponzi schemes in the interest of "Wall Street" and continued pretension that we'll "muddle through" be proved correct in the fullness of time?
Or will, as this video states, the simple fact that once there is nobody left to screw an ugly reality will face those who have been doing the screwing: The man who you have screwed out of everything -- the man with nothing left -- has nothing left to lose.
I do not look forward to the day being proclaimed and looked toward in this presentation. There is no reason for our political and justice system to have allowed the financial******of our nation and her people, not to mention that of the rest of the developed and developing world.
If you're of the religious sort it would seem that prayer would be appropriate at this time.
Could it be that the end of the American empire is in sight? Could American people finally be waking up? Finally? I wrote about it in 2005 in "America is Bankrupt" and people scoffed. No one is scoffing anymore.
If things continue as they are going now, things are going to get very ugly folks.
Make no mistake about it... These events actually started a long time ago... When the US government nakedly committed aggression and invaded a nation that posed no threat to us. That was merely the start of the most recent fire... It began long before that.
This most recent farce and naked aggression has lead led to massive US government borrowing and defense spending and wars against many Muslim nations... Wars that will suck the USA of her riches and treasures dry t the bone... These wars and the military-industrial complex that leads them has led us to the economic malaise we now face and the corruption of the government in bailing out Wall Street and the banks and the Status Quo.
The people finally see what is going on. People are mad, unemployed and, as Gerald Celente would say, "When people have nothing more to lose, they lose it!"
It will take some time, but could this finally be the end of the US political and economic system? Could it be upon us now? I believe that we are witnessing history.

I wrote about an economic collapse of Japan this autumn (various reasons and due to Europe, USA and other western nations here). Could it be here so soon?
I don't mean to sound alarmist, but this is a country with many earthquakes and natural disasters anyhow. I suggest that you stock up on food and water and get some gold and silver while you can. It's not like you will lose any money being prepared, right? If you have kids and do not have at least a week of water and food, then you are foolish.

Police Start Shooting Protestors in Spain w/Rubber Bullets- Still Not News in Japan
|
|
Astounding. The peaceful demonstrations in Spain are over. The people have begun beating people and shooting them with rubber bullets. As usual, Japanese news is eerily silent on the matter. What's going on here?
THE CLASH - REVOLUTION ROCK
Google reports that the government has sent in police in Barcelona with truncheons and they are beating peaceful demonstrators and shooting them with rubber bullets. Google reports:
BARCELONA — Spanish police fired rubber bullets and swung truncheons to disperse anti-crisis protesters in a Barcelona square Friday as cleaning crews cleared their tent camp.
Catalan police in anti-riot gear moved in after about 50 protesters sat down on the street to block a convoy of cleaning trucks leaving the Plaza de Cataluna square with remnants of the encampment.
Police, some with plastic shields, were shown on television dragging protesters along the street and swiping with truncheons at activists, who had been chanting: "They shall not pass."
An AFP reporter at the scene saw rubber bullets fired.
The protest blockade was broken up within minutes but about 100 protesters regrouped in the square. They were surrounded by two police cordons blocking hundreds more people from entering from nearby roads.
Demonstrators chanted: "The people, united, will never be defeated!" and "No to violence!"
Cleaning crews with 10 lorries dismantled the last of the tents under police surveillance. Later, police left the square and let thousands of demonstrators flood in.
By the evening, at least 5,000 people were in the square protesting against the police intervention, some having put up tents. A dozen police vehicles were in streets leading to the square.
"What happened today was awful but it is a warning" for the country's leadership, said Ramon Deltran, 50, a psychiatrist.
I predict that this situation is going to seriously escalate and, like I wrote on May 21 in Massive Anti-Government Protests in Spain Spreading to Italy! No Mention at all in Japanese Press, the exact same thing is going on now!
Ultimately, unemployment, taxes and austerity measures have caused these huge demonstrations that are, as one protester said, "... against the criminal behavior of the central bankers and IMF. Taking tax money from the people and giving it to rich bankers have finally made the people take to the streets...."
Yet, this news is nowhere to be found in the Japanese news services in English or in Japanese.
I predict that this demonstration in Spain will collapse the Spanish government.

There's no way unemployment or the situation with government debt, which will lead to higher taxes and more austerity measures in Spain is going to go away anytime soon, so these demonstrations are going to go on. The government, by taking a heavy hand are just escalating the situation. They are toast.
But, once again, not a word about it in the Japanese press! I checked both Yahoo! Japan and NHK and cannot find any mention of this news!
Here's a screen capture of NHK news site:

......Nothing about police shooting people with rubber bullets in Barcelona Spain. How about Yahoo! Japan?
Well, what do you know!? Yahoo! Japan does come through and has a story about Barcelona! (Marked in red)... Yippee... Er, well, not exactly about demonstrations and the police rousting people out like the Nazi Gestapo, but about how some soccer team from Barcelona won a soccer championship for the fourth time beating Manchester United..... .....Yawn!
Unemployment in Spain is the highest in the EU at over 21%, the entire country is about to go bankrupt and these stupid people care about who wins some professional sports title? Are you kidding me? Morons.
Who was it that wrote something about "Bread and Circuses for the masses"?

Massive Anti-Government Protests in Spain Spreading to Italy! No Mention at all in Japanese Press

UPDATE! LIVE FEED OF PROTESTS IN SPAIN AT BOTTOM!
IS THIS SITUATION IS FAST SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL? MUST SEE!
The demonstrations in Egypt weren't nearly this big! In Europe, first Greece then Iceland now Spain! Massive demonstrations and protests have broken out all over Europe. There's not a word mentioned about these huge protests in the Japanese media or in the US media either! See the live feed at the bottom of this post. These demonstrations are huge and the news about them seems to be blocked all over the world!
Twitter comment about the protests from Poland
The demonstration first started out in Madrid but have now spread to Barcelona, Valencia and other cities in Spain. The Spanish government cannot withstand this pressure.
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - WAKE UP
Elections are tomorrow but the protesters have said that they will continue to protest until they get what they want... I'm sure the elections will not satisfy their demands. What's next? This and events in Portugal and Italy bode ill for the Euro and the world economy. This will certainly hurt Japan's already faltering economy.
Ultimately, unemployment, taxes and austerity measures have caused these huge demonstrations that are, as one protester said, "... against the criminal behavior of the central bankers and IMF. Taking tax money from the people and giving it to rich bankers have finally made the people take to the streets...."
Yet, this news is nowhere to be found in the Japanese news services in English or in Japanese.

Hence this blog post.
Mish Shedlock has an excellent write up about it:
"After passively submitting to the crisis, young Spaniards have finally taken to the street. Breaking out on the eve of municipal elections, the protests of recent days have been inspired by those in Iceland that led to the fall of the government in Reykjavik.
One morning in October 2008, Torfason Hördur turned up at what Icelanders call the “Althing”, the Icelandic parliament in the capital city, Reykjavik. By then, the country's biggest bank, the Kaupthing, had already gone into receivership and the Icelandic financial system itself was in danger of going under. Torfason, with his guitar, grabbed a microphone and invited people to talk about their dissatisfaction with the freefall of their country and to speak their minds.
A movement spawned by the Internet
But those voices calling for real democracy are not just being raised in Iceland, a country of about 320,000 inhabitants. Here in Spain, the umbrella organisation for various Spanish movements – Democracia Real Ya (Real Democracy Now) – already lists among its proposals some 40 points ranging from controlling parliamentary absenteeism to reducing military spending through to abolishing the so-called Sinde law (a law restricting on-line infringements of copyright).
Spain demonstration yesterday. This is not news in Japan!????
The demonstrations have broadened spontaneously, as was the case for those who rallied under the umbrellas of the "alternative globalisation" movements, and have evolved, one decade after the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, on a more modest stage than the one demonstrators faced in the past at the World Economic Forum of the global elite in Davos, Switzerland.
All this is happening at astonishing speed via the Internet, which has amplified the echo of discontent and opened the lanes of cyberactivism to groups such as Anonymous, notable for intervening against companies like PayPal and Visa during the advocacy campaign for Wikileaks chief Julian Assange. Yet it was also there at the beginning of the revolts in the Arab world, to help people get round the censorship of the Tunisian and Egyptian dictatorships.
“When we grow up, we want to be Icelanders!" cried one of the leaders of the organisation during the march on Sunday May 15 before a column of young – and not so young – parents and children, students and workers, the jobless and pensioners. Many Saturdays in Iceland were needed before citizens won the changes they had demanded. Spain’s first Sunday has taken place, and was followed by a Tuesday [May 17]- but there’s still a long way to go.
Protests have now spread to Italy and beyond.
Why these massive outpourings of discontent for government policies are being ignored in the Japanese press is a real curiosity. Here is a screen capture of NHK News English site. As you can see, not a word about it mentioned but there is a story of vital interest about Brazilian students sending letters to survivors of the Tohoku disaster!

And here's a screen capture of the Japanese language page. Nothing about protests in Europe:
CLICK ON IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW
Let's see: Something about the Hague Convention member states welcoming something called "the Buddha policy," Asia's largest exhibition of Naval Weapons, special trains, Japanese children in Brazil... Oh! There's demonstrations! No. No. Those are in Thailand. Nope. Nothing about demonstrations in Europe.
Quite odd, don't you think?
MISH SHEDLOCK posts this: "SOL TV has a continuous direct broadcast from Puerto del Sol in Madrid, where today's gathering has just started."
