World On Fire - Mapping Last Week's 88 Global Protests

Feeling like the entire world is on the verge of a global revolution? It's understandable. According to the attached interactive map, based on Google News data, in the past week, there have been 88 reported instances of protest somewhere in the world. How much of this is due to snow, and how much is due to Bernanke's increasingly more genocidal policies (has anyone done a tally of how many people have died in various riots, protests and revolutions since the beginning of the year - perhaps it is time) is unknown and irrelevant. All that matters is to buy (sorry, BTFD no longer works as there just are no Ds anymore).

lets have an experiment.. ditch Israel and see if the middle east hates America anymore. Can't be any worse than the last 40 years of nonsense from them anyway

"Remember, in a former post, when I said that Saudis were captivated and shocked by what happened in Tunis and Egypt but hadn’t collectively made up their mind about it? Well it appears that they have. Everywhere I go and everything I read points to a revolution in our own country in the foreseeable future. However we are still on the ledge and haven’t jumped yet."

What fun this would be...Saudi Arabia to go under... ostensibly US policy in the region would go up in flames... however I have to say I sort of wonder if this blog is genuine... Saudi is hardly a haven of freethinking people... hypocritical USG policy is to justify war because they are "liberating" women in Afghanistan yet they curiously never seem to raise any concerns about the status of women in Saudi Arabia...

The best protests in this week were the protests by Wisconsin teachers and public workers at Madison Capitol.
