in our Corporate MSM.

There are protests all over Europe about "Austerity" because their banks need bailing out as tail-end after effect of the Great Wall Street Banking Meltdown has spread (or was not addressed quickly enough) in the Eurozone. Fracking has become a huge issue and Environmental concerns are rising along with the high Unemployment of their youth.

Britain's National Health Service is being cut and Privatization of Government Services is on the rise. Italy and Greece have continual protests and even in Germany there are protests because the immigrant workers feel they are working for less pay and denied the health benefits and rights of their German counterparts.


We don't see CNN/FAUX/MSNBC connecting the dots that there are protests all over the world with people angry over Environmental Degradation, lack of Job Opportunities for the youth, Exploitation of Worker's and the attempted Privatization of Utilities, Water & land use.
