ECB President Mario Draghi Attacked By Protester Screaming "End ECB Dick-tatorship"
It was bound to happen sooner or later: moments ago Mario Draghi was attacked by what appears to be a female (non-Greek) protester screaming "End ECB Dick-tatorship" while delivering his prepared remarks.
Full video below:
The press conference was briefly halted and has since resumed.

The financial interests present us the "candidate" options in the first place.
In the US, do you think Hillary is really who everyone who calls themselves a democrat WANTS for president? They just adore her personal integrity and ethics? Really? They rig our "choices."
Free stuff is not why they get voted in. That they are run as candidates in the first place is "why" they get voted in. You and I do not have the $ to run our candidates. We lose.
Now if you were to tell me that we deserve what we get because we are too comfortable to overthrow this lousy system, I'd agree with you there.
Our votes don't matter, particularly when the choices are rigged. And the voting machines without paper ballots too.
Claire Wolfe — 'America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.'
FSkin You need your own blog! Best sense of humor on ZH.
thanks, but can't take credit for that one...
claire is one blogger that has her bag well packed - and shares clarity on a regular basis at zelman partisans
The first step is for the sheep to wake up. The second step is for the sheep to stop participating in rigged elections.
I see no sign of either, so we don't need to mention any further steps. We were doomed 100 years ago, and we are still doomed.
Draghi was never voted for....remember?
spare me even the idea of having a direct popular vote of a ECB President. remember one thing:
- directly elected officials have... popular vote legitimity
- appointed officials, on the other side, can be thrown out, in a blink
and that difference is relevant, and makes Draghi visit several national parliaments and the EU one, very often, for example
but of course all this outlandish constitutional stuff makes little sense to many Americans, which usually know one constitution only, and so have little comparison
'elected officials have... popular vote legitimity'...
Not according to the U.S. gov they don't.... Assad, Yanukovich, Putin, Maduro, Roussef...the list is endless.
you were so fast I could not even correct to legitimacy
correction - had a constitution.
now we just have the rights we are willing to claim and defend. same as it always was.
europeans may occasionally claim some rights, but appear to always falter when in place of defending those rigths revert to treating them as entitlements.
nigel farage being a voice for the excptions of course
Please tell us the Constitution you have in mind. Schools have discarded the U.S. Constitution ever since Carter and the labor unions set up the Department of Education.
The USA isn't worth saving, it needs to be broken into about 5 different independent countries. Let the Northeast and the West Coast go jack each other off.
Lead the way asshat.
You make every effort to worm 'asshat' in wherever you can, don't you? :-)
It's very strange but Tyler, why would you delete my comment or was it by mistake?
All I said was:
No Way!
Sheeple are waking up and are angry?
I am surprised!
I noted some buggy stuff on my account too, bunch of records of comments have disappeared. Don't take it personally, something is up.
Ahh...Perhaps.
I checked my previous comments....and only the one from today is showing up!
Normally, if some comment gets deleted then all its replies should have been deleted as well.
However, the first response became the comment and my original comment was gone!
Strange!
You are not alone, all mmy comments are gone. Lately the URL to (not only my I guess) comment history was completely blocked, I guess the admins try to block some nasty traffic querying the backend.
I think it's all those "I made $8855 an hour licking pig ass on the internet and you can too!" comments.
perhaps tyler blocks the utah data center trying to connect comments with IP addresses..
It's a conspiracy-go with it!
That story about the cop running over the guy had most comments missing, seems like I saw about 140 and then there were about 40. Incredible influx of trolls the last couple of week also.
Then plant a taser next to you.
I'm not so sure.
Someone threw a shoe at Hitllary in Vegas. Too bad it missed her.
That's the funny thing about marriage, there is always something that's NOT going to work out, you just have to figure out what it is, and then let it control your life.
Good point, he IS Italian.
bunga bunga
Yeah what an asshole he is.....non-payment at the Hilton then he comes out with MOAR QE the next day! She must be mad as hell.
Actually, he paid her, but in EUR and then he told her: Watch my meeting tomorrow and see the 200 EUR become 180!
Hardly,
If europe woke up, the building would have been surrounded by citizens, not letting any banker or politician to leave.
This comes to mind...

Bingo. Now you are getting closer.
That chick has more initiative (and guts) than 99.999999% of us. I don't like being reminded of how lazy and cowardly I am. Just let me be content to tell myself that it won't help to stand up, so there's no point in doing it.
Not only does it not help, it actually makes things worse as it generates sympathy for Draghi from any Sheeple who believe that the ECB is both credible and necessary. Also, it means they will get more money to spend on even more security measures, advancing the police state along the way.
Politics can only be throttled by people refusing to acknowledge it's legitimacy. Political activism, OTOH, merely serves to reinforce the political method, just from a different direction.
In other words, she's just fighting for control of the proverbial gun to all of our heads.
sure. we are in the middle of a currency war, the dollar tides are again ripping the dollarzone, which includes trillions in bonds in the Emerging Markets which are going to hurt them like hell, and you state the EUR is not necessary
the EUR was even necessary for the CHF to anchor itself to it, remember?
"credibility"? that's a FED thing. it's part and parcel of the Ben Bernanke "forward guidance", a very new thing in global central banking. It means "don't think, just follow orders from the FED"
thank you, but no, thanks, I prefer to keep our little defensive confederation of currencies. unless you "fix" the 1946/1971 package of promises and broken promises, that is
that was a 'ready, fire, aim' comment if i ever heard one...
you think the FED beachhead in america caused this, and that the EUR is part of the fix?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
PHEW, YOU FUNNY, MAN!
my goodness, you really don't understand even one single word of what I wrote, eh? let me guess, you have a deep and broad understanding of what the dollar does, in the world
OH, PLEASE INFORM US, GREAT ONE!
no, i clearly don't know shit
if you're being misunderstood, try for clarity, not obfuscation for effect.
if you're trying to posit that the monetary problems originate in the US, i suggest either your time frame is out of whack, or you're just blinded by a eurocentric victim bias.
how's that for clarity?
to posit that the monetary problems originate in the... acoords taken in 1946 and broken in 1971, yes
"A defensive confederation of currencies." LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_oET45GzMI
Fast forward to the part where the Bundesbank president on the eve of Black Wednesday announces to speculators like Soros 'now is the time to attack and fuck the Bank of England and the British out of 2 billion pounds'.
Attacked? Hardly.
Draghi looked like he totally enjoyed it. Banzai should be able to do something with stills from the first few seconds.
+1 at his age it's always nice to get so much attention from young girls. he is a typical Roman, after all. always worried, until something happens, and then enjoying any action
Confetti? More theater for the Goy, you can go back to work now, the issues are being addressed.
It's not like she stabbed him in the head. She's not supposed to make confetti either, the jew has a monopoly on that.
I'd say the verdict is still out. Go ahead and walk though a south central L.A. neighborhood shouting that "americans are gutless" and let us know how that works out for you.
I will hold my judgement until the SNAP cards stop working...
That was not an "attack" motherfucker, not even close.
Until you compare it to the OKC bombing or the Joseph Stack attack on the IRS or ....
But of course they are all labeled terrorist against the government and financial system.
And I don't know if you are American, but if you are, then aren't you judging yourself to be the same gutless American?
did he smile when he got a look up her shirt?
Would have been fun to throw a toy handgranade in his lap , see him run :) :)
And all he can do is put his hand up. They are so vulnerable. And yet the people still do NOTHING.
They didn't do nothing, they grabbed her and threw her in jail.
But it's hot lesbian jail where she can have lingerie pillow fights with Pussy Riot.
And no doubt there will be no awkward questioning by the sock puppet press
Draghi is attacking the people of Europe every day.
He just does it with a printing press.
Draghi looks like the sesame street count.

That 1st picture is serious bad ass !! Someone needs to make that the ZH avatar at once.
Beaver Cream (the name even works)...I nominate you !!
yipeee
WWIII the world war against banksters.
She rocks a G-Banger that's all I saw.
Upon reading the title i first thought it was Femen topless girls show
Too bad she didn't have a gun. It would have been 1 less bankster.
RE
As much as I would think it would help the problem we have (killing all of the fraudsters), I can't help of think of a quote from Ron Pearlman in "Dirty Laundry", a short film with Thomas Jane starring as Frank Castle (a.k.a the Punisher from Marvel Comics).
Pearlman plays a liquor store clerk who once served time in Iraq. Jane comes in to buy something to drink, and a gang fight starts outside (the liquor store is, predictably, in a bad neighborhood in NYC). Jane asks Pearlman if he's ever done anything about it:
"Served 3 tours in the sand box; not so much a scratch. And then I come home to this shit. <drinks flask> I'm too old for this shit.
WHY FUCKING BOTHER? That's my motto. If the Almighty struck down those savages today; there'd be five more to replace them tomorrow. What difference does it make?"
And that's how I feel about the bankers and the crooks and the thieves that run our system.
In the end, the king and the pawn all go in the same box. These motherfuckers will learn that sooner rather than later if they do keep it up. Karma ensures it.
Personally I like the butt-crack picture. She may have a background in plumbing?
Pin a medal upon her breast.
So you like pierced nipples?
Super Girl vs. The Legion of Doom.
What a shame we didn't see this bastard's head being blasted into the wall behind him. He and every other bankster criminal need to be gunned down like rabid dogs.
For what it's worth, that first image will be an iconic image of the coming revolution, whatever that eventually looks like.Central banker terrified with defensive posture, the Furious Individual flying in for attack, arms spread like a dragon coming in for the kill.
Skilly
LOL, dream on kid. Anyone and everyone who engages in politics is within the realm of evil, her included. Just because she wants to do good via evil means doesn't make it possible.
Wishful thinking is no substitute for logic in the pursuit of a healthy society.
Another $38.99 hillary voter who doesn't understand how the system works.
Could be a code pink or Occupy Wall Street shitting on a police car.
Disgusting Pig "Occupy Wall Street" Protester Defecates on Police Car: Natalie Pollock News Channel http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=luq4NTSK50MDick-tatorship?
Would have been far mor newsworthy if she stabbed at him with a giant dildo on a broomstick.
I wish people would consult with me if they lack the requisite imagination for effective protest.
The buttcrack and thong is a nice touch for desk-leaping and she wore sensible shoes, so there's some credit due, but all in all, a rather lackluster performance.
I'm tellin ya, a dick on a stick would have made it shine.
stabbed at him with a giant dildo on a broomstick.
I don't think I'll read a funnier expression all day.
These fight club clowns were a riot too...

I have to admit, that image broke me down, and I've been laughing at a lot of comments on this thread. Moar theater of the absurb is needed to enlighten the unwashed masses.
Isn't that Circus Popcorn she brought with her?
Maybe ECB & European Commission need Sympathy votes to sway the public. Paid Protestor?
Just brilliant shovelhead! best laugh I have had in weeks.
Thong bottom hail....lol
Coming to an FOMC meeting near you. I hope Mr. Yellen has his taser ready. Just be sure it's your taser and not the gun you use to shoot the economy in the back 8 times.
Yellen could be found fleeing from her Mercedes Benz, only to find a police officer unloading his gun clip.
As for protestors, I am thinking that those naked chested women are more interesting to watch. Maybe they should start protesting Draghi.
Boy, the second photo sure makes it clear how bad Draghi's rug is. The photo looks retouched with a brown blob on his forehead, probably hiding the fact that he flipped his wig.
Why would they retouch these photos? ... I smell the stench of MSM.
JMHO ... planned event with actors designed to gather forces for conflict.

Red meat for the sheep. No way that person got into that press conference without some insider help.
That picture will likely be pinned to many a basement wall as a sign of the "revolution" that will never come.
Just like all of those "Code Pink" protestors always managed to get into meetings in DC, even though everyone there is familiar with them (or knows them directly).
I could see it happening once, but when the same people appear time after time...
Crack security, so to speak.
This woman has more balls than every MF on this site combined. She's out doing something, as opposed to sitting at her computer bitching about it on some blog. If more people took action, perhaps, something will change!
What occupy WallStreet has accomplished?
You mean protesting for $15/hr at McDonalds isn't enough?
........................
F**kin' aye right on.
She did nothing but to help advance the police state while generating sympathy for the scumbag named Draghi. As for her bravery, it can all be summed up as brave enough to act stupid. All she did was to further empower and legitimize the ECB in the eyes of the sheeple.
Absolute poppycock. I fail to see how the picture of a dishevelled old criminal, cowering empowers the ECB in the eyes of the sheeple.
Draghi is so 'up' himself and is so unpopular with the sheeple that not even marriage to Angelina or a Kardashian could get him a vote (if we were allowed a vote). Hence his dick-tatorship!
She is a hero for having the courage to confront this non-entity on her own terms.
Well said. Go girl!
So what did she accomplish today besides getting arrested?
I'll wait.
She gained a lot of fanboys.
she should blow his head off with big blood lake
I thought he was attacked by a big bloke. Look at him, curl up like chicken shit. Typical banker trait.
Boy does Mario look like the biggest pussy in the world or what.
Why do I find myself cheering for people like her?
Is it the only way we can regain control?
4th picture down: "Hey look Mom, I'm on TV!"
She went to all that trouble, and didn't even kick him in the face when she had the chance.
Political activism is an incoherent construct where people falsely believe good can be accomplished by the evil means of politics. She likely doesn't even know which oligarch she's serving with such a display.
Not true. These people go rape, rob and pillage with not so much as a peep from the masses.
John Perkins mentioned at the end of "Confessions of An Economic Hit Man" that once the protests of the Viet Nam war got to 100,000 at the white house, they decided to call it off.
African Americans didn't get their civil rights until the armed Black Panthers showed up.
We need more of this, not less.
C'mon... his face already looks like it has had a good kicking session. It has been up the royal pontiff for years!
I think the correct terminology is the Vaticanus
and her solution, put women in charge. Look at Ontario, that will turn out well.
<-- edit. you made me say it she wants a cuntatership. humorless twats
Draghi cried: "I want my mum."
Looked like he was either surrendering or worshiping Satan; likely both.
shoulda been a gun!
Should have kicked his lower jaw into his frontal lobe.
No shit.
Nonetheless, my admiration of the basic European female just shot through the roof.
American women only work up this kind of venom over imagined fraternity gang rapes and PETA agendas.
This woman's compass is pointing true north.
You will never see that again. I wonder if she was a "plant", because you will now hear of the need for "tighter security"...after all the EU is walking on it's torso - no legs, thus the printing before the uprising.
Enrollment of woman just entice men to suck the government tit.
Look how defenseless he is. Worms, not squids. Worms, all of them.
I'm surprised she wasn't shot five times in the back. After all, she was unarmed.
That's the US.
In Europe, she'll be sentenced to 4 weeks of hugs therapy.
Nice thong, baby. I'll bet she makes the best noises when she gets nailed.
Now that's the way to protest! Great undies, dearie! I wonder if she will sell them on E-bay and what the opening bid will be?
It was time to kick the dust off a Eurocrat...that is a brave woman!
actually Mario Draghi isn't an Eurocrat.
you have to look a bit up, in the european org-chart, to find them
Eurocrats are people like Merkel, Cameron, Tsipras, etc. at the first level, and people like Varoufakis, Schäuble, Dijesselbloem, etc. at the second level
and they do get assassination attempts. Schäuble, for example, is an invalid because one of them
Had to dig up the org chart...which looked more like a daisy chain circle jerk than a top down chart.
You were right, he's not at the Eurocrat level of the chart.
He was higher up and grouped in the Grande EuroCunt row on the pyramid.
...and Schäuble was an invalid long before it was physically manifested upon him.
does anything you just wrote make sense? btw, Schäuble got shot. some 20 years ago
if your understanding of humor were as fine tuned as your propensity for boot licking, it would make perfect sense.
still makes neither sense nor it's funny. but I see you seem to be an expert in boot licking. tell me, where did you got your expertise? I would not even know where to start
you're a disaster under every rock cunt .
Was she wearing Toms?
... europe ... banana continent ...
looks like too much fun to be the shot heard round the world

dick in tatters and ship on the rocks.
How's that : lovely female legs before the wicked shaman.
But the show must go on!
Couldn't she at least do this topless ... you know, to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.
Haha, what a boss. Meanwhile in America , the new candy corn Oreos are here.
funniest joke "since Lehman".
she could have totally kicked his runt ass
I'm in love with that woman.....God Bless her.
My first guess is she's Icelandic. Anyone else?
Probably the start of a 'security clearance' badge for the press/media. background checks, references etc.
Of course, if you're not on message with what the Elite are saying you won't get much clearance.
Just as the elite like it, nice and docile and fully on message from the press corp.
On this same point, I've recently been watching lots of documentaries on the Vietnam war. Amaziong how free the press were in those days, they called the fuckers out in Washington time and time again. Now, all they do is fawn and gush. Pathetic really.
Do I feel little crushes all around me here? Hmmmm?????
chubs
Why is she smiling? In America she'd be dead by now.
Because some people love their country and the people in them enough to take that risk?
Wrong color, wrong gender for "police" action in fascist USA!
Banzai, are you behind that in order to get more stuff for your teriffic work? Looking forward to seeing it!
It wasn't confetti, it was a bag of acid tabs, and as Mario got a few in the face, he is gonna start tripping his tits off in 3....2.....1......
It's emblematic of our sad and broken culture that women have to lead the fight against banksters.
Let's use a blackberry bridge encrypted merge to fuck everyone over. They'll never see it coming. New Apple iWatch asshats will be thinking that a new software update is in order. Not!
If we didn't love the United States of America. We wouldn't forewarn you. Keep that in mind.
Security?
No comment. What a fucking stupid question.
Well, she's right of course.
The Russians must have sent her to get back at them for sending the rioting pussies.
Momma is that u?
In Russia they take their tops off..that would have been better...
Target your limp wristed fagot in the White House.
.
How about we stop over and shit on your coffee table? That's the bullshit. you're feed by MSM.
draghi looks like he shit in his pant ...
