And to think that six months ago images of rioters throwing gasoline bombs at the police were enough to get Waddell and Reed to sell 20 ES contracts...

No, it's not. Until these people get some proper sniper rifles and start administering head shots to bank executives, nothing will change.
Fucking anarchist thugs.
How far Greece has fallen! The ancient Greeks would have cut these little socialist twats to pieces -- literally.
Anarchist thugs? Cut the anarchist, please. I consider myself an anarcap, and I respect people's lives and properties.
Socialist twats? Or just anti-banksters?
Who are you, a troll? Do you support bankers and the bailout for Greece?
well, these thugs dont represent working class at all, they represent the class of anarchists, they have never paid a penny in taxes and probably never voted, they dont starve, they do get fed, they walk around in adidas sneekers and read karl marx and think the world owns them, however they are really stupid, have no education that is worth at least a penny, have no real property, no future other than weed and social benefits SO what exactly are they upset about, its not like the planned to be a database programmers and work 20 hours a day for less than an indian programmer and wanted to bring greece among the most fastest growing countries in the world, no no no
its not like I support the bankers, but a banker is a survivalist, not a drugged thug on benefits looking at the blue sky all day long
this is the most power they will have in their lives
Wow you could tell all that about all those people in that video? Can you tell me tonights winning lottery numbers as well Karnak the Magnificient?
Neither you nor I have any fucking clue what any of those people's backgrounds or thinking might be. NONE. We can take wild over generalized shots in the dark at it, but we don't really know. Your generalizations make you sound like someone spouting off generalizations about people halfway around the world. They could all just as easily be EU agent provocateurs, or abused homeless street kids who were prostitutes or who the fuck knows. I'm certainly not going to let the "media" inform me as what to think.

some things need to be said. That was one of them.
The current Greek government they are protesting against is Socialist. Jesus christ.
Those pinko commies are rioting against their socialist govt becuz it's not socialist enough...

If that is what I think it is.
This could be the start of something beautiful.
Almost looks staged though.
Let these little Greek monkeys riot until they're blue in the face. Full speed ahead with bailouts and austerity. Their little antics will change NOTHING. What are they going to do, summon Trotsky from the grave? It's simply petit bourgeois nonsense. It will end in nothing. Trash.
You guys sound like a bunch of rear echelon assholes. Once a few real explosions go off and a few arms and legs start flying around and the screaming starts I imagine you will be begging for momma

Some will, then others won't and will dig in.
There will be some of that, for a little while.
And then there won't be.
All wars start the same. Not even interesting. What is interesting is how they end.
How is this going to end? Any guesses? Feeling lucky, maybe?

NEWS FLASH, THIS JUST OVER THE WIRE:
The Italians team is upset with a judges ruling: An overturned riot van did not constitute a Flaming Riot Van, even though the video playback clearly shows the front right tire ablaze.
The UK is winding down it's second round with impressive results. They scored lower than the Italian team in burning cars, but made up for it in broken glass. The eye-for-an-eye score is still being computed by game officials.
Greece is showing a very strong comeback after its less than stunning opening, with only minutes left in the round, waves of gas-bombs were deployed, with spectacular results. They clinched the judges approval with a last minute executive-thrashing. Word is still out weather it was actually a banker-thrashing.
Meanwhile the US continues to boycott the World-Wide-Riot Games, but QE 3.0 is being executed as I type. It seems sure the US team will come out with a strong performance. Expect day and nighttime riots, anything-that-burns burning, anything-not-nailed-down flying and a general "you just lost your banker-police-state privileges" attitude.
Let freedom ring, bitches, or else.

Don't know why this is being ignored.
We should start a web site devoted to 'The Games'
A betting web site, by the time they block our paypal account we could be retired.
beggar pillage thy neighbor?
The biggest worry I have is that no channel in UK has carried this tonight, is it becuase its old news or is it the step up in violence?
If the media is blacking it out, that means it is not staged by the govt. Very bad.
Wow, that's a great point actually.
Very astute observation and comment (my brother) lol.
Can we get some citzen or police deaths already.
Enough beating around the bush here.
Its a step up and the administration knows it. "Nothing to see here..."
Don't worry though, the internet is on all the time, kids these days don't read 'news', they download information directly.
This war has always been going on.
But many of the peasents are only just starting to realize it.
I have yet to see anyone get the Mussolini treatment.
LOL +1 for the "tour of the city"
Tame, one sided violence. Give the police the handle to shoot and we've got another story. This is a "ventting". In America? People'd be tossing dounuts and veggi wraps off their mall tray.
Looks Hollywoodesque.
What was the real damage - a pile of newspapers set on fire and a man with a bloody nose?
It needs CGI to weave in the devastating destruction.
I give all of the credit to the Greek people.
They could have politely led the world on for a year or two that they were going to follow the path to austerity.
Instead, the moment it was announced, they took to the streets and began throwing firebombs at the police to assure the world there was no fucking way they were ever going to agree to a single budget cut.
Greece will default. The revolution is being televised.
CNBS news blackout on Greece. By order of Dept of Treasury
I'd like to see that same video happen outside 200 West St...
Go 300! Show em yer abs!
Well put.
Fu*k austerity, let the bankers pay for that shit.
Wall Street Sees Record Revenue in '09-10 Recovery From Bailouthttp://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-13/wall-street-sees-record-revenue...
IMO, 80% of the Amerikan public is totally dumb and dumbed down. They'll be loaded in the government rail cars for a free vacation at Camp FEMA, before they start to wake up.
BTW that guy with the bloody face at the end? The Greek Fin Min
If I were a big, bailed out, blood sucking banker in the US getting ready for my big 41 million dollar bonus, I would get a little nervous watching the last 40 seconds of the clip.
Haha! Use the legislative process my ass! A revolution is the only thing that will stop the Bankster Wall Street IMF Terrorist Cabal. That includes Homeland Security and the US gov't - Terrorists de-facto in the United Schmucks of AmeriKKa. Abolish the gov't and start over!
This can be accomplished peacefully if everyone would stay home(not go to the slave cubicle), not pay any usury, not pay any utility bills, default on your mortgage, and most importantly - help your neighbor if he/she is willing to do the same. If we do this en-masse, the entire system will crumble.
If not willing to, look forward to FEMA Camps and the rest of their Solution. 2012 is only a cover for these sick lizard terrorists.
There is no such thing as a DemoKrat or a ReThuglican. It is all show for the couch potatoes and arm-chair tea baggger pundits.
We can affect change peacefully or violently. Peaceful must happen soon to prevent the violence. I'm not saying our so-called government won't perpetrate violence on the citizens, but the peaceful solution will spare many.
Cocktails anyone?!
Sure, your city or mine ?
the sad thing is that
- how much of the rioters are indoctrinated by some fucking bolcheviks (the old school ones, not the kind of mix of obamaoids-neo-cons-ex-trosktists jews) ?
- cops got hard time but basically they are poeple too... why don't the rioters go fuck the jew-masonic politicians, bankers, corp. ceo's and so on ?
Who the fuck do you think is funding the "rent a crowd" to pursue their goal of one world government and one world currency?
If these amateur bolshevik punks shared as much as one brain cell between them; they could figure it out. The ring leaders know where the cheques are coming from to buy the supplies and print the materials.
Qui Bono?
Agreed. Rent a mob. Shows up like a disease, ailment, or plague when a country fails to sell out to the IMF.
On the other hand, it is interesting that MSM didn't cover this riot biz in the newz.
Hmm... Which U.S. state has the most searches for riots? Take a guess...

Imagine Timmy getting hauled away from Capital Hill with

Evolution is incredible in its brilliance.
one of the important multi-layered lessons / warnings in this clip - that is not the greek fin min
do you wear a suit?
The last time the media broadcast the rioting in Greece was on May 6!. I was watching and saw the immediate stock market reaction, straight down. The NYSE by their actions, exacerbated the situation resulting in the actual flash crash. Ever since then, there has been little video of rioting in Greece and I am sure there won't be
O/T but for those that have multiple avatars, get a friend.
The former Greek development minister Costis Hatzidakis, center, was attacked by protesters in Athens.
It's a start.
oh well, in that case, he's just lucky there wasn't a brazen bull handy.

Hmmm, attack the Minister of Development, kinky but I like it.

So the world is coming to an end and the Dow drops 19 points. Put your trust in Ben. Sure he lets things bounce around after a big run up to make the technicals look like the market is rolling over but that's just to draw in the shorts and use that for fuel to drive the market higher on the next pump.
In the US, we have the Active Denial System (ADS).

Agencies Seek Comment on Market Risk and Basel II Advanced Approaches
Three federal bank regulatory agencies today announced they are seeking comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking that would revise the market risk capital rules for banking organizations with significant trading activity.
The proposed rule would implement changes approved by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to its market risk framework. The Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) believe the proposed revisions would better capture positions for which the market risk capital rules are appropriate, reduce procyclicality in market risk capital requirements, enhance the rules' sensitivity to risks that are not adequately captured by the current regulatory measurement methodologies, and increase market discipline through enhanced disclosures.
The Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC request comments on the notice within 90 days of its publication in the Federal Register, which is expected soon.
Separately, the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the FDIC are seeking comment on a notice of proposed rulemaking that would amend the advanced approaches capital adequacy framework known as Basel II to be consistent with certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. More specifically, a banking organization operating under the advanced approaches standards would be required to meet, on an on-going basis, the higher of the generally applicable and the advanced approaches minimum risk-based capital standards.
The Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC request comments on this notice within 60 days of its publication in the Federal Register, which is expected soon.

The first gallon is 7 dollars, the next 40 are free :)
Much like the protests of the Sixties. As a result we started to become politically correct and more liberal than ever.
What are their goals now? More socialism or even communism or something new and different.
Whatever it may be. Enjoy the coming new age of more love, peace and happiness. Make sure to get lots of sex.
We already have socialism and communism the "free" world over, if not by the anti-competitive and fraudlent coddling of the banks with taxpayer money then by our crippling dependence on Red China.
How dare any of you doomers hold this non-issue over the heads of hardworking Americans! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DOOMER FILTH! they don't want to live in a collapsed society got it!
I am scared the doomers will become TERRORISTS because they don't get there way about a collapse. You were wrong, just gonna have to deal with it
It's working and will continue to work. Austrian economics has been predicting the END OF THE WORLD for decades... not coming, guys...
You clearly don't understand the REAL terrorists are the ones running our Government and Wall Street.
Wake up doofus!
much fail
Sarah? Is that You?
Man those M80's or cherry bombs bring back nice memories.
After a hard day of throwing fire bombs and rocks and fire crackers, maybe its time to sit down for a nice greek salad and some adult beverages.
This is very bullish.
lmao!
When you see this happening here, just remember, many of the people doing most of the mischief will probably be police .......
2008 was our "event"... no riots.
DO NOT DELETE MY ACCOUNT! I am DEAD SERIOUS!
What will spark the riots in the US? The collapse already happned in 2008. TARP was passed and the banks didn't fail.
You ever been hungry, like the real hungry, in your life? There's your event. You should be patient and wait now, like all of us in the Doomer Cabal have been patient and waited... waited for sooooo long!
Oh yeah, everything is just peachy on this side of the pond.

I tell people to remember their western movies. Sometimes the cowboys dressed like indians , cause havoc, brings in the troops, Rich rancher gets indian land rights.
Remember this imbarrassing moment for the Police in Canada where they were caught red handed dressed up like anarchists...

"The spectators endorse the revolution not because it is legitimate but because it is aimed at the creation of a civil constitution. Revolution, then, is wrong but still contributes to progress.
In an election, sovereignty is passed back to the people, so there is nothing wrong with the people replacing the entire government. Without an election (or similar method of designating the return of sovereignty to the people), any action aimed at replacing the government is wrong."
know what you want, why, and how to get it - or, don't let the ends justify the means especially if we don't know our ends from our elbows - or, be careful what we ask for - or, we get what we deserve - or, (do you know where your ipad is?) - or, what are your state senator's phone #s?

Surprised that the UK students havent taken a lesson from the Greeks and come up with that kind of flammable stuff. That makes the UK riots seem civil.
Even if it won't easily burn the cops, fire still seems to have an effect.
House prices remain excessively high compared to wages; each student will be 24000 pounds poorer at the end of their education; and wages will continue to experience heavy downward pressure due to global competition.
The only solution is to stop trying to manipulate the markets and let prices move in their natural directions. I believe that the short term pain will end this long term madness. The only real losers would be the bankers and the politicians (i.e. those who make the rules, sadly).
Check the dates of the returns from a google search on "greek riots".
Why don't the police equip themselves with molotov cocktails and respond in kind? It would be impossible to portray that scene as anything other than a fair fight. Bring on your best arms and turn the table. If they start shooting? Well...
Smartest monkey will use a garden sprayer to spray the gas fire. You will see it on CNN before 2012.
You combine gasoline and styrofoam for a real wicked, homemade napalm.
According to Hank Paulson we were about 24 hrs away from tanks rolling though the national mall.
And you seem to think that a few trillion worth of fiat paper fixed the solvency crisis.
This thing needs steady trillions QE 12345! just to limp along on a monthly basis.
When the paper no longer works its magic D.C. will look like Athens.
What astounds me is that having just watched the main news of the evening on the BBC no mention of the riots at all. Searched the BBC website for "Greek Riots" and the link offered was from 3rd November.
What is preposterous is to believe that this is not deemed newsworthy by any editor. Fcking fools.
Edit: Found it on BBC now through Google News not on their own search engine though.
BBC website lost its credibility about a year back when they started advertising first-class airlines and phat rolexes on the page.
If (or when) gas bombs start flying here in the U.S., there will be piles of dead bodies in the street.
when do the moron police say FUCK IT !
A: When enough of them spots his neighbor in the mob milling at the other end of the street.
When the hammer drops, get out there.
Don't wreck your own town and country.
Asymmetrically go after the politicians' and bankers' children and spouses.
In Switzerland, bankers and their families received packages and letters about six months ago at their private domicile. When they opened them, it activated a miniature catapult who sent them sulfuric acid at the face.
The cases have been reported by the local press, but I don't know if Americans have heard of it.
got a link? I live alp-side.
Got it. Will stop when I count 147 death monkeys.
what's with the big-ass V spraypainted on the wall by the floridian duke? if that ain't a call to arms I never seen one...
His "performance" was so pathetic that it makes me wonder if it was staged. It certainly threw shit on the Vendetta symbol . . .
Wow. How come CNN isn't covering this? LOL
their top story tonight is:
Are your dental fillings toxic?
They need to focus their endeavors on the Banks. They are the cause of your troubles.
There are 4 million Irish in Ireland and 50 million Irish-Americans. If there is real trouble in Ireland, they will be supported by most Americans.
Too bad you don't understand what happened in Athens yesterday.
The Greeks are furious with this vile Socialist and corrupt Gvnt.
A Gvnt that:
a) reduces the living standards and cuts 50% of salaries in every job the way Ceausescu once did.
b) bailouts banksters
c) Tries to cover up the Siemens Scandal and the corrupted politicians
d) encourages an increddible number of illegal Muslim immigrants to enter Greece in order to deteriorate the foundations of our nation.
You see on the videos some young guys with molotov bombs that clash with police forces.
These young guys are no workers. Their only job is to create havoc so that the workers must not demonstrate.
These young guys try to scare workers and all the Greeks so that the corrupted Gvnt will continue doing its job without citizens control.
So ringers have been brought in to take on the Police with fire bombs in order to scare the people into submission. Did I hear that right?
correct
Who was the baldy bloke getting bashed?
A parliament member of the opposition that is against the measures. He was minister of the previous Gvnt of Karamanlis.
Are we supposed to admire the assholes throwing the Molotovs? Christ, modern Greece is a country full of corrupt, lazy fuckwads. They lied to get into the EU. Time to pay the piper, assholes.
Too bad the police weren't armed.
nothing the banksters do will get Americans to protest like this, not even cancelling the NFL season...
even more bizarre is that this video was shown as related with the RT piece:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rbxov7CVi8
This will eventually come to the US, but the US has a plan and that is to jail people up in those FEMA camps. Why else did they stop TruTV from reshowing the Jesse Ventura Conspiracy show on FEMA camps and Fusion centers which they do for all of the shows and substituting another one.
Rocks? And Bottles and a few Gasoline Maltov's - C'Mon....
This almost seems like a planned sensationalized riot.
Look...If People were REALLY mad, really fed up, they would REALLY destroy things, and those 1 police for every 10 protestors would be run over...Im not saying these guys arent upset, but they arent ready to really fight for what they want yet, prolly cuz they still eating and sleeping indoors. Until that changes materially, riots will just be met with more regulations rules and govt control.
