at least they take it to the streets unlike the slaves of the mighty US
I love Riotcam Mondays (tm). Take a shot every time you hear "liberta!"
BEN.......the people are revolting ........PRINT.....PRINT YOU MOTHERLESS PIECE OF SHIT......PRINTTTTTTTTTTT
This is just people talking loudly in the street. This is not revolt.
"Until bullets start entering brains, nothing changes."
Agreed. As long as most people are showing up to "protest", then there is still a belief that the system can be fixed by using the system itself. Revolutions don't happen in public squares. Those are symbolic events which actually meet with the approval of the powers-that-be. Real revolutions happen in homes and residential neighborhoods where the elites live. They happen at airports. They happen *inside* the halls of government, with shouting, torching and citizens arresting elites. They happen in factories. They happen in banks. Real revolutions are messy affairs where the elites start to flee, leaving their lives behind.
All of these live-cam events are contained demonstrations. Essentially they are a form of "speech". When the riot cops walk away (or join the protestors) then things are about to change. Until then this carefully managed and sanctioned behavior.
I'll start being impressed with the "revolution" when politicians are being dragged from bed and incarcerated by the people, and things start to get out of control.
just debt slaves being debt slaves. who created the curse of central banking? oh yea roth something or other
"Look, darling, the masses are revolting."
"You might want to come off the balcony, dear, they certainly have germs."
If they had a show; "PIIGS RIOT". I'd watch it on one great big giant high def TV, all in sync with picture in picture to be able to switch from screen to screen with the click of a remote. Great theatre! And as an added bonus, they could throw in a new daily hot spot of interest. Wherever there's an embassy being overrun somewhere in the world, they'll be there to cover it!
"We interrupt our programming to state that Kyle Bass has just placed a massive bet against the US Debt and Currency."
No SNAP, no Obamaphones....see what happens?
Yea, and how long can SNAP and ObaMaoPhones and all the other subsidies really last with a 105% debt/GDP and all of it sinking fast in real time?
Thats easy Dog, just outlaw real time, you know they wanna.
Dunno, but I do know that Japan's debt to GDP I 250% while the US stands at 105%. Is our leash that long? I kinda doubt it as entropy seems to be growing at an exponential rate these days. All it takes is one black swan that Bernanck can't print his way out of, then poof!
It's February. 11 celsius in Madrid, 1 Celsius in Washington, DC. Much easier to protest when it is warm out. I bet if it was 20 below, there would not be protests or riots in Athens or Madrid.
Americans won't protest when it's celsius out. Too confusing.
Americans won't protest because it's going to look bad on their resume.
Funny +1
The American _________
A: Spring
B: Summer
C: Fall
D: Winter
The correct answer is None of the above
Martin Armstrongs computer models say 2014 .. after Gov't has to start making big layoffs cause economy doesn't get better, tax receipts collapse faster.
"Gov't has to start making big layoffs cause economy doesn't get better"
Thanks for the belly laugh (that's old school LOL).
I'd sooner believe Lance's computer model before Martin Armstrong's, if this is the logic it employs.
Martin obviously doesn't understand MMT.
Only when they can't get their latte and their cable goes out then maybe will have an event.
"at least they take it to the streets unlike the slaves of the mighty US"
The minute the "slaves" take it to the streets of the US, the DHS will lower the 'BOOM' big time!
The "disapearances" will be something to behold! Can you say "bend over and grab your ankles?"
I knew you could. The only justice will come from the muzzles of M-16's.
Nakhoy Nakhoy Nakhoy!!
libertà, libertà, libertà libertàI live in downtown baltimore. They're expecting 200k-300k down here for the parade. All I can do is shake my head. The masses come together in revelry of cakes and circuses, but not a fucking peep as they're anally raped on a daily basis by the elite. Pathetic.
It is sad state of affairs. The people of Cleveland were more upset when Art took the Browns, in the middle of the night, to Baltimore than when banksters steal trillions in broad daylight.
The circuses are powerful in this country, yes!
The bigger the games, the higher the turnout, the more efficient their propaganda is proving to work.
Romans put on the best games and biggest festivals just before the shit hit the fan. Authorities knew the collapse was coming and that people were noticing how the currency was diluted further and further. Emperor put on on bigger games with more fanfare and galore so that the people were distracted.
Mankind has not changed one iota or otherwise progressed socially for well over 2000 years.
What comes next is just as certain as what followed after the glory of Rome started to crumble.
Crumbling? You mean like the electrical grid in the Super Dome? Let's work on keeping the lights on at these events if we are going to have them shall we?
Duh... all I know is that Amurikans are happy as pigs in shit, just as long as TPTB don't mess up with their sacred SuperBowl crap.. Fuck them up the ass all you want on a daily basis, no problem... just don't touch their F-O--O-T-B-A-L-L-!
The fact is that most folks are clueless. But the real reason is that after struggling to make ends meet they want to have some fun and don't consider it terrible to do a little partying. I enjoyed the game, food, commercials and friends and don't feel a twinge of guilt. Sometimes a football game is just a football game. What do you want those folks to do, by the way, instead of enjoying themselves for a night?
I agree with you tango, but the problem is that the american people haven't been doing just a little partying, our whole economy is built on feeding gluttony and by doing so enslavement through debt. I realize the average american has so much shit on their plate that any chance they have of thinking about bigger issues is fleeting at best, but they also have to realize that the past 30yrs of so called economic progress is one debt fueled illusion and that after 30yrs of monthly payments they will find that they own absolutely nothing. My only hope for my fellow american is that they put just half of the enthusiasm they have for sports to speak out on things that actually matter.
Oh spare me! The Super bowl has been going for almost 50 years.
Could someone chart youth unemployment vs riots?
We need more Noble Peace Prize for the European Union!!!! Can you print that?
Ya know, that actually looks kinda fun. Definitely better than playing 96 straight hours of MW3 on X-box when you're unemployed. I bet it gets a lot less fun when they bring out the pepper spray and riot shields, though.
I'm tapping my toes and singing along to the songs right now. Wish I knew the words. Ah well, when they start happening over here I'll know the words.
The People!
Demand!
The Fall of the Regime!
The friendly gatherings are actually organised by governments as a means of allowing some steam to be let off and to see who turns up.
The unfriendly ones are used by government ss an excuse to introduce further restrictions on the masses.
A high ranking PP politician said that it appeared the Barcenas papers were done in one sitting.
Ok, what is it, conspiracies exist or they don't?
I can see a opening.

Although I appreciate the fact that people are taking a stand and generating movement, I am not sure if any protest really knows what the problem is.
The problem is not how many hours worked = pay vs austerity, it is not about health care...it is about the crux of the problem: what is the problem?
The problem is that a cabal of the establishment took over the banking system (or started the banking system in the first place) and have instituted a credit system that is systematically bankrupting the people of the world. This has been done by getting off of a sound money system (gold and silver is money and nothing else is, by definition of the word MONEY) and issuing debt like it is going out of style.
Now we must make a move against this cabal and we must take back the money supply.
Join me!
Buy Silver!
Credit(debt) expansion went exponential as wages fell. The whole system is based on usury. Of course, you know that, but I thought i'd spout off anyway.
So you are basicali hedging that everyone else will lose, except few of you who got shiny metal?
Why not buy productive assets and start builiding local interconected comunities, with high levels of trust that will be robust against the breakdown of the economy?
I know, I know, its more simple to just buy metal.
I agree those networks could be crucial, but with PMs you have portable wealth that is recognized everywhere throughout history.
Everyone will lose, except the oligarchs, and they are a rare breed indeed.
.. on a weekly basis since 2008
But if the big guys really control all we do or say or any event, why wouldn't they also control the price of silver? LOL I'm a silver bug myself meaning I think either the elite are either incapable of controlling price (in which case they are not so powerful) or there is not a cabal of elites controlling anything - simple a squiggly mess of folks trying to stay ahead of the game as long as they can.
Mandy Drury just said that she would never chearlead the markets. What? You can't make this up.
I guess it's all shameless self-promotion then?
Mandy Drury as a cheerleader.......hmmm........... I just got a little chubby
Whats the point of riote?
Better run to the hills.
Thieves, Thieves, Thieves, they chant. Hard to understand some of it, but they seem rather pissed
Why are they all speaking Mexican?
bad bad bad ...heh
Looks pretty tame to me. No molotov cocktails, burning cars, no gunfire
:)
just people out shopping on the live feed
This video is like a bad acid trip.
At least like how it's been described to me...
Why MSM ignores the biggest bank bailout from the Dutch Govt of a systemically important bank is mind blowing. I question why?
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/02/01/uk-dutch-finance-cbank-idUKBRE9...
One of the major bailouts and FT carries it on Page 9!! Wtf?
10 billion Euros, doesnt it have any value no more? Where are the tax payers of the Dutch Govt?
ABN was nationalised, ING was sold, Rabo was downgraded and its Sarasin bank sold to Safra and now SNS is nationalised, but the IMF and World Bank on behalf of US and Europe advised Indonesia, Thailand and Latin America to shut down their banks back in 1997/8 and now they nationalise their own banks?!!
Is this objective and unbiased advice and support when it was needed most by those poor countries or is it another form of plundering their assets?
You´re three days late bud.
I knew it the minute it happened...thanks to iPhone alerts....I have been waiting and observing last few days, why no one is analysing, criticising, debating or discussing this EUR 10bn bailout, as if it was a non event.
It is a huge event. One of the largest bank bailouts since Lehman and who knows how many more billions will be thrown once it becomes opaque and nationalised!
If emerging countries nationalise banks, it is called terrible and indicates their 'weakness' but when Ireland, Iceland, UK and Netherlands, and Germany (read HSH Nordbank) or Austria (Hypo) etc nationalise, where are the war cries?
Europe is having a shitty day.
history...rhymes

Aw, just chanting and waving signs. I was expecting riots. Greece has spoiled me.
But, but, they told us everyhthing is fine!!!!
Monti is playing real hard,
He hopes you let down your guard,
Just follow the Ace,
It's in the wrong place,
A game thats played with 3 cards.
This is what would happen in America if only you could drive to a riot.
Too fat, too lazy.
You mean, Drive-by-Riot, open 24 hours?
You order stuff at one booth and pay other, then drive to riot without leaving car?
Americans would dig that.
They want the guns in the US BEFORE people are pushed to this point. The people in the US should already be doing it so when that day finally does come this mofo's gona blow sky high I assure you of that. This powderkeg will blow eventually.
I am extraordinarily worried about what is to come.
Government debt levels are unsustainable; the general population has lost faith in leadership in general (European corruption, US politicians, bank heads, corporate leaders, church leaders, etc... ). The US President is talking about guns, and despite the travesty of last December, he is not focusing on THE most critical issue facing the western world... the financial crisis that is to shortly visit the US, and the entire world. The majority of jobs lost in this great depression were those of the middle class and if you look at the employment date, the majority of job creation is coming from low paying jobs. The middle class baby boomers are being crushed and the youth are hopeless.
Bill Gross summarized it today when he said that once assets have too much risk and no return... that's when you'll see the mass migration into hard assets like gold and onset of hyperinflation. His statement is so #uckin plain to see, its simplicity and elegence is brilliant.
I'm not sure what will trigger the oncoming collapse. It will likely be a black swan event, but for sure the way the spring is being loaded, when it snaps for whatever reason, the results will be the same.
I really, really, really don't want to live in a world of $10k gold and $600 silver, and its coming and there's not a #uckin thing we can do about it. I never thought growing up that I'd see our western way of living collapsing as it is in the process of happening.
Les jeux sont faites.
I have never seen any of the demonstrators in these countries demand that the govt. spend much less money or reduce taxes. Only the tea party in this country promotes ideas that work instead of more of the same tax and spend policies. Yes, we are exceptional.
Meec! We the people in Spain are demanding to cut the government size and the number of people working for politicians. We have a big big problem here because when everything was ok, they took advantage to set up averybody as advisors, positions without public examinations, etc... We also have 17 local governments with a lot of power and money to spend and they are the one of the causes of our depression.
