Revolution Roundup #2: As Mass rebellion Spreads Throughout Europe, Americans Dance With The Stars The Global Insurrection Against Banker Occupation (GIABO) rages on…

Over the past few days the people of Ireland, Italy, Britain, Austria and Portugal have all held massive demonstrations against the Global Banking Cartel.

Ireland Vs. Global Banking Cartel…

More than 100,000 protest against Irish bailout

“More than 100,000 Irish citizens took to the streets of Dublin today to protest against the international bailout and four years of austerity.

Despite overnight snow storms and freezing temperatures, huge crowds have gathered in O’Connell Street to demonstrate against the cuts aimed at driving down Ireland’s colossal national debt.

So far the march has passed off peacefully although there is a huge Garda presence with up to 700 officers on duty working alongside 250 security guards for the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.

Among the marchers there is deep anger that most of the more than €80bn (£67bn) from the EU and the International Monetary Fund will be given to shore up Ireland’s ailing banks.” [Read More]

“The primary goal of the IMF-EU package to which any new government will be committed is not to stop Ireland spiralling downwards into economic depression. It is to ensure that Irish citizens cough up yet more money for the banks. The process of converting bank debt into national debt is to be completed.”

Italy Vs. Global Banking Cartel… Student Debt = Indentured Servitude!

UK Vs. Global Banking Cartel… Protests Turn Violent

Nigel Farage Rips EU Financial Terrorists

British politician and the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage has slammed EU bosses over European crisis. “It’s even more serious than economics because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that”

Austria Vs. Global Banking Cartel… Thousands protest budget cuts in Vienna

*********

Portugal Vs. Global Banking Cartel… ‘Euro burning, people pay, bankers get away’

Some wise words for the Irish and everyone else…

“Irish people unite, as our forefathers did.”

Welcome to Banksterland, once known as Ireland:

U2 Vs. Global Banking Cartel… Silver & Gold, Crash JP Morgan!

US Vs. Global Banking Cartel… zzzzzzz

Revolution Roundup #2: As Mass rebellion Spreads Throughout Europe, Americans Dance With The Stars

24.1 million people tuned in to watch the finale of Dancing with the Stars…

24.1 million people watched this:

Sleep Now in the Fire…

‘US Zombie Empire: Re-distributed bailout would mean $350,000 per American’

The ultimate Shakespearean tragic comedy… In the US, it takes a cartoonist to tell the truth…

Yet I Still Have Faith… The Sleeping Giant Shall Wake…

“Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains
to earth like dew
Which in sleep
had fallen on you
Ye are many
they are few”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley

Max Keiser: Get Ready! American Revolution the Sequel

As a wise man once said, “Time For A Second American Revolution“

Our politicians won’t defend us and exercise the will of the people, so we must….

We are US soldiers, policemen, firemen, teachers, students, business owners, postal workers, transit workers, construction workers, union members, artists, journalists, doctors, nurses, lawyers, social service workers, factory workers, farmers, we are 99% of the population and we will not stand by and let our country be destroyed like this!

… all the propaganda and labels that are used to divide us will fall to the wayside. We are not just Republicans and Democrats, or Tea Party and Coffee Party people, we are Americans and we are uniting against our common enemy. [Read More]

The Two-Party Oligarchy Vs. The People

Our current economic crisis has proven that the Democrat versus Republican dynamic is obsolete, the only thing that matters now is us versus them. When I say “us,” I mean 99% of the US population. When I say “them,” I mean the ruling class. The ruling class includes Republicans, Democrats, and more importantly, the people and corporations who fund them. That is the dividing line. Adhere to it. Otherwise you are playing into their divide-and-conquer strategy, and you are complicit in our demise. [Read More]

“All men recognize the right of revolution; that is, the right to refuse allegiance to, and to resist, the government, when its tyranny or its inefficiency is great and unendurable. And oppression and robbery are organized, I say; let us not have such a machine any longer. I think that it is not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize.”
– Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

“The civilization may still seem brilliant because it possesses an outward front, the work of a long past, but is in reality an edifice crumbling to ruin and destined to fall in at the first storm.”
– Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

“All countries are basically social arrangements, accommodations to changing circumstances. No matter how permanent and even sacred they may seem at any one time, in fact they are all artificial and temporary.”
– Strobe Talbott

“First Rays of the New Rising Sun”

Excellent job of bringing it all together! Inspiring!!

Welcome to Revolution HQ. This is where it’s @ people.

I’m not sure if David meant to make this point, probably did, but this post shows you why Americans are Dancing with the stars. All these TV news clips are from international sources. Americans don’t even know this is happening. Hail to the American MSM. The ministry of propaganda rules the land.

It’s 1968 all over again. Revolution is in the air…

David,

I’d say the UK protests were more aimed at the Gvt austerity measures. I’m still not sure if the students truly get where the underlying cause stems from. They are angry that Gvt wants them in debt. Not angry at the banking oligarchy.

Rather than doing arts & humanities, if more students spent the time to actually study banking and the contradictions within they would come to similar conclusions as your goodself.

If you get the time to read it, here is a report that I recently submitted to the UK’s Commission on Banking, effectively de-bunking the current model of securitisation:

http://forensicstatistician.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/icb-submission-nov-2010.pdf

I am a lay person with an interest in banking, and after only limited part time studying of the subject (including regular doses of Max Keiser!) can see the internal contradictions which they conveniently ignore!

Right on my brother! One fist in the air!

Rage Against the Global Banking Cartel!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad that someone is awake. This is our country for which many died. I was born in Boston, the cradle of the revolution. I grew up on a farm in Civil War Northern Virginia. One of my greatgrandfathers was a made a General in the Army of Northern of Virginia at the final battle so that the South would have a general to accept Lee’s surrender. My father was a fighter pilot against in WW1 and in the Navy in WW2. I was never in the military for medical reasons, but I can march.

I hear whispering throughout America…

R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.
R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Do you hear me now?

AmpedStatus needs to get its own TV channel. Or DeGraw needs his own TV show. Spend an hour of the day reporting about this and Revolution will happen. The people know the score, they just need a spark to light the fuse.

Never let it be said that Americans miss an opportunity to misrepresent reality with wanton hyperbole.

Sorry to disillusion you guys, but there is no “mass insurrection” or rebellion on this side of the pond – a few demonstrations does not a rebellion make. Lord knows the stark polarity of the US system of government, and the lack of any worthwhile choice offered by a system which offer voters only Option A, or Option B, but calls for “a second revolution” are worthy only satire.

And neither were any of these European marches/demo’s “against the global banking cartel…”: they were demonstrating against wide-ranging spending cuts and the resultant reduction in public sector jobs and services – so your conclusions are seen through the prism of parallax error.

Oh, and context might help, too – something sadly lacking in the piece above – I get completely that what passes for ‘news’ in the US wouldn’t pass muster in Europe (due largely to it being largely predicated on nothing more than mere ‘opinion’ and analysis-free content), and that you’re weighed-down parochialism and an overriding sense of ‘American Exceptionalism’, but knee-jerk responses are not what’s required here.

Americans will end up looking like fools and or “corporate serfs” as Ralph Nader says, if we don’t wake up! It seems Americans are more worried about shopping, Republicans (free market, less regulation) Democrats (socialism, amnesty, health care), or the so-called reality shows. I call them “brainwashing” shows.
Even when you try to warn people they look at you like you’re from ‘outer space’ or worse they say
what’s the use. That’s sad to say the least.
They just don’t get that both parties are responsible for where we are today. They don’t understand that EVERYTHING going on are DIFFERENT PIECES to the SAME PUZZLE. EVERYTHING IS RELEVANT.
I see too many young ones joining the military because they can’t find work or afford college. They will be fighting, not to protect us, but for corporate profits and executive pay.
To me college is a racket because the jobs aren’t there when they graduate.
Thanks for all the info & HOW DO WE GET U.S. CITIZENS TO DO WHAT EUROPEANS ARE DOING?
Father Greg

My fellow Americans, the revolution starts now and it starts with quiet dissent and stealthy disassociation with the status quo. Like the patriots who started to revolt against their enslavers, we must hurt them where it counts, their wallets. Cut up your credit cards, close your accounts with big banks and move your assets to Credit Unions. Invest in land, gold and silver instead of the stock exchanges. Buy from local retailers and small family owned businesses. They have enslaved us with their plastic and interest rates. BREAK THE CHAINS AT ALL COST!

To the people who claim these protests weren’t against the Global bankers: YOU ARE 100% WRONG!

Just look at the videos and pictures from the protests. They all had anti-IMF and anti-Banker signs. Everyone knows that the cuts / austerity measures are a result of the bankers’ looting of their economies.

If anyone tells you that these protests were not against the global bankers, they are either lying or they are uninformed.

We have to leave the main stream media behind. They serve and lie. Organizing parallel institutions rather than relying on the WalMarted Government could be studied. Eating real food instead of gen food, salt, Steroid meat and corn syrup will help people relearn to think, plan and recapture control of their own lives.
Self, health, knowledge, cooperation, love, desire are not commodities. Freedom is a lifetime work. Start your revolution today tomorrow is an adventure.

Watching DWTS is about as revolutionary as blogging one, only it has more to do with the actual.

Fucking pathetic.

I genuinely like this innovative angle that you have on the topic. I wasnt planning on this at the time I begun searching for tips. Your ideas was totally easy to understand. Im glad to find that there’s an person here that gets it exactly what its is talking about.

Government loves it when their enemies (citizens) organize into groups . From girl scouts to hard core militias. As they have either someone inside the group or to threaten some stooge inside the group. Take a lesson from our founders. Leaderless Resistance. We all know what needs to be done and acting on that alone or in small groups of trusted friends worked great once before. It is what tyrants fear the most as they can’t fight it. It might be a good idea for the millions of sheeple in this nation to take 5 and read the Constitution for once in their life. It might give them a clue as to how both parties show to it nothing but contempt. It also may end their being part of the problem.

We must relentlessly proceed to reach critical mass and realize a few new memes-namely: CLASS WAR, BUY SILVER, OVERWHELMING SECUITIZATION OF VIRTUALLY ALL AMERICAN CURRENT MORTGAGES, WHERE IS THE NOTE? THE BIG GLOBAL BANKING SYSTEM IS STEALING FROM US 24/7 AND COMPLETELY OWNS ANY WORLD GOVERNMENT. THE CLOCK IS TCKING. DO NOT QUIT!!!
