Jamon y Baton: Extended Photogallery From A Violent Barcelona

Tyler Durden's picture




Looking at these pictures from Barcelona one would think this is Tunisia, Cairo, or at best, Athens. Instead, it is from the once incomparably wealthy capital of Catalunia (although they did have Olympics there: an event guaranteed to result in at least one municipal bankruptcy at some point in the future), and before the Barcelona-Man United game. One can only imagine what happens if Barcelona wins (or is that loses).

You're about 6 years late, dude.

Somewhere around 2004-2006, there were non-mainstream news everywhere, that pretty much every western country around the globe, was in the process of changing the role of its military: From dealing with "normal" war, to dealing with civil war. The official reason given of course was terrorism... that reason however not only because of plausibility did not add up, because even countries who usually do not bring troops into other countries were doing it. In other words: Western armies were, and still are, transitioning to dealing with internal wars.

What perhaps is most frightening about this, is not that they do prepare for this, but instead what this preperation implies: That already years ago, they were expecting civil wars, and thus are willing to let it come to this!

Don’t be an idiot or an asshole and I blame almost everyone at the top, too.

The Laffer curve works until production based trickle down and tax revenue up is turned into finance based piss on and voodoo out economics by socialist kleptocrats in consort with bankers.

The profit motive, responsibility and good of the individual has been distorted by socialist concepts of general welfare.

The proof lies in judging the added value, employment, tax revenue and social benefits in the following types of comparisons.

Trickle down vs. Piss on
MSFT vs. CITI
APL vs GS
HD vs. AIG
WMT vs. MS

And if you want to sum it up from a socio-political leadership perspective, a picture worth a thousand words:

Funny thing is - this "socialist greater good" IS one of the major reasons why people in europe are revolting, while people in the USA do not.

There seems to be some aspect of european culture, which americans do not understand. There is a deep-rooted "social contract" here..... the deal is: "We pay those stupid high taxes, we put up with all the crap, BUT in return each one's survival and health becomes a RIGHT. This isn't just treated like another of those void promises by the gov... they actually believe this. Europeans only play the submissive role as long as the social part of the contract between the population and state, is kept up. Once people suffer from poverty and this social "insurance" is rejected, the moral and theoretical premises for them behaving docile are taken away... to europeans, this is a crime, and they are the judge and executioner in that scenario).

So, you may dislike social programmes all day (which has some logical justification, because in principle, socialism is the definition of non-selfsustainability.... as soon as something cannot finance itself, and must constantly be supplied with external capital, you basically have a socialistic setup), still the deep-rooted affinity to socialism in europe is not just one thing that caused this mess, it simultaneusly is the reason why people revolt here.

Sounds great on paper, but the ability to withdraw from "your" account will be denied.  They can and will limit your access to "your" money.

General consumer strike overall is the way to go.

A true riot here in the U.S. won't involve rocks and clubs, welts and cuts - it'll end up being full on guerilla.

What, and lose the 0.02% compounded interest you'd earn by keeping it in there?  Hellz no!  And how would they buy their morning latte at Starbucks?  Not to mention that carrying around cash makes one feel like a homeless person.  Having a Visa Check Card is a symbol of upward mobility.  It demonstrates that you have so much money, you don't mind paying for the privilege to spend it.

@ Alienated Serf: when states like Arizona, Texas, and a dozen+ others secede, they'll be taking their National Guard units with them. NG has AFVs, A-10s, and all sorts of good stuff. We'll have plenty to shoot back at the Regime.

Chumbawa,

No mystery here,I agree it's their excuse to put the boots on the necks of the public.

My main concern IF it comes to that, is how many of the 80 million will not sit on their dead asses,and really become serfs.

I figure the more Rights Americans see abused, taken, the fuse will get lit sooner or later.

Well, you're kind of getting it.  Yes, they want you to give them a justification they can paint for the rest of the sheeple that don't act out.  But the violence itself is simply the catalyst to get to the next stage of the drama.  They want everyone to see what's happening presently as a worldwide affair in which we're all involved because we're all connected.  Everyone is going to fall right into place because that's where they're herding everyone.  You're still acting out your part, reading your lines of the script.

To escape the prison of the theater, you simply walk out.  The door is wide open.

people in spain like cigarettes, weed, tabloids and they are on the streets.  you must be talking about yourself.  In Spain there's less propaganda, although still ridiculous, than your average western "democracy."  this movement started in response to local elections(22 May) as the people organized themselves to oppose the two party system.  they're sitting in the most important squares of all major cities as a peaceful, mostly youth, resistance movement that neither sees itself conservative nor socialist.  although people equate these folks, unfairly, with anarchists, they are gaining strength as a movement.  Facebook 373k followers since start of protests 15 May.

Agree.

The problem we have in the USA is that our country is so damn huge. I see lots of pockets of the awakened on the internet, but organizing all that sentiment for the most effect will be a difficult task.

Seeing as how the squid are using the US military as their main tentacle of oppression around the world, it is our responsibility to end the oligarchy. I am proud of the Spanish people today.

Obviously there is no way to effect change through the corrupted political process, but I've been toying with the idea of a greenback-labor type of message. This could possibly meld the disenchanted unemployed with those who want to end the Fed and our monetary system (Ron Paul's supporters). Just spitballin'

Protest? These people are unemployed flee bags who hit on poor people and want to live in a parallel reality where the rich are to blame for being rich and a joint saves your life along with special, cinderella moments lived in Mad Max customs; the whole society is enemy, the remaining "sober" individuals better dress up like Mad Max and fight the system.

Underneath, they're childish and dangerous, uneducated without notions of moral or limits. Some of them are just immigrants.

Man, they live Cinderella stories, high on glue, between each other - the people you think are aggressive thugs are actually, when not hurling stones against what they cannot in rightful expectation have, kinda cute, with conversations on private relationships that last ages....

There are lots of comments in this thread but none as accurate as yours CE.  I think we have reached the tipping point and whether TPTB want it or not, things are going to come apart. 

Too many desparate people out there who have no vested interest in the status quo coupled with rampant inflation in necessities (i.e. food, fuel) is not a recipe for stability.
