Greece and Spain are rising up

Just saw a mention on RT site that there are plans to repeat the Madrid protest today.

After seeing the images from yesterday, I really hope the Riot cops get their asses handed to them. I'm normally a pacifist, but when I see the violence and arrogance in those piggies faces, and when I think back to everything I've learned about psychopathy in authority, I really hope those pigs are taught a lesson.

Jup, today they are official protesting since an hour... Meetin in front of the congress is at 19 o´clock spanish time.
inofficial they never stopped...

Their message is following:

"We wont go away ´til the spanish government is resolved and we, the folk, could hold a public meeting for the funding of a new constitution with basicdemocratic structure.

One friend that lives in the south of spain wrote me:

" Yes there is a civil uprising, a huge revolution like we always talked about, and i would want to do the same, but in madrid it´s kinda state of war! They don´t even let one in!"

Another vid:

Here is a spanish article about a 26 year old guardia civill guy who was protesting WITH the people!

Actually, I just found the thread, and it matters to me a lot. I think it is great that people are standing up to the enemy. It also makes me sad that we, in the U.S., don't have as much fire in us for the important things as apparently other countries' people do. I see so much wrong with our country and we just let the government get away with all the crap. I am sad that we just lay down for it, but I personally don't know what to do about it. I know a lot of people like myself.

German news "Tagesschau" admited on facebook that they sent a team to madrid for the evening show...
Yesterday they wrote on their website an article about left radicals and 3000 people...
They got a huge "sh*tstorm" in the comments...
We´ll see what will come along today

In Berlin, Germany there is actually a protest against media blackout in front of the ARD - Tagesschau headquarter organised by occupy media...

Here is a livestream...

Thats why i created this thread...
No coverage at all...

Yeah ATSers its your possibility to bring this to more attention, as we did with alot of infos before!

Hello and thank you for this info!

As others have noted, information is not being brought well in some cases. We could use a Venn to illustrate....
(information bubble)
According to the RT speaker, austerity measures are the cause -

Austerity measures are typically taken if there is a threat that a government cannot honor its debt liabilities.

Austerity-Wiki

Yes, I find similarities to the 'Occupy' scenarios all over. I have to wonder what have all these governments done that they can no longer care for their people?

We see it here in the US in many places of government - schools, cities, and others all saying 'budget crisis' causing budget cuts and other measures taking away from social programs. It's trendy, and a strong trend that seems to be being applied to many.

Soon the people will tire of being beaten into submission.
One club against 50 arms cannot do much harm.
The police take the week, beat women in front of the crowd.
Soon the masses will say enough is enough and the wrath of their anger will be felt 10 fold.
Sad turn of events.
I saw so very brave people in that video and I saw the many who were to afraid to act.
Once it starts there will be no stopping the mob the mob rules. Que the black sabbath.
No media because the fear our numbers.
No media because they fear our strength.
No media because they know we will join across the world.
One is all it takes we are many they are few.
