The world is enraged...GoogleEarth: Protests for Week of 02/18/2011
There is ample speculation in the resistance media (meaning Infowars and the like) as to how much of this is staged - particularly in the Arab world - in order to fulfill the geo-political aims of the usual globalist suspects. This is not to doubt the sincerity of the rage, but to inquire into its spark. We tend to think that these uprisings are the inevitabilities of the West's financial and economic system veering towards bankruptcy and collapse, and the most likely spark (in most cases) is the price and the scarcity of food, itself a consequence of not just bad weather events in the past year, and of inflationary monetary policies such as QE2, but also - at the molecular level - of the imminent bursting of the GMO bubble; remember, bio-tech was going to feed the world, yet GMO crops are failing, and consumers are becoming increasingly averse (more on this further down). In any case, most of the credit for the uprisings is given in a celebratory way by the mainstream press to social media. But, look who has been exploiting the same for PSYOPS: encubicled warriors of the Pentagon.

Land Destroyer (Tony Cartalucci): George Soros & Egypt's New Constitution
But, as the governments of sovereign nations states fall like dominoes across North Africa, raising the prospect of an Arab Union (oddly alluded to in a discussion with Al Jazeerah's Marwan Bishara on Democracy Now, at time-stamp 22:00), the not-so-sovereign nation states of the European Union face another kind of domino chain reaction. Namely, if the Euro should fail as a result of an Irish rejection of the bail-out plan that the now utterly demolished Fianna Fail government had accepted, then, a different set of dominoes could fall - not nation states, but banks, particularly those based in the City of London. For a humorous little allegory on the situation, see this LaRouchePAC production...
