Economic Uncertainty Leading to Global Unrest

London is reeling from three nights of rioting that's poured hundreds of people into the streets, leaving several local neighborhoods in shambles. One man is dead, dozens injured and arrested.

The protests have now spread to other cities, with violence reported in parts of Birmingham, Liverpool and Bristol.

Great Britain and other parts of the world are experiencing unrest at a time of global economic uncertainty and stock market volatility.

Here's a look at what's happening around the world and how economic downturns are bringing protestors into the streets.

Great Britain

Police in London say the violence began during a vigil for a man, Mark Duggan, who’d been killed by police. However, those on the streets say what's happening goes beyond one man's death.

In late June, half the public schools in Britain where closed by a massive protest over public pensions cuts, including three major teachers' unions, customs and immigration officers, and air traffic controllers. Some 750,000 people took part in the protest.

London's press has reported that discontent has been simmering among Britain's urban poor for years, in neighborhoods like Tottenham, where the riots started.

But as one man told NBC News about an economic protest two months ago, "There was not a word in the press about our protests. Last night (Saturday) a bit of rioting and looting and now look around you."

The article discusses global unrest also in Israel, China, Greece, the Philippines, Portugal, and other places.

I have no doubt Satan is on the prowl. However, it is disgusting how the Pressitute "journalists" give excuses to the blacks who are rioting, looting, and maiming in London. Look at what they wrote:

"For a society already under severe economic strain, the rioting raised new questions about the political sustainability of the Cameron government’s spending cuts, particularly the deep cutbacks in social programs. These have hit the country’s poor especially hard, including large numbers of the minority youths who have been at the forefront of the unrest."

So there you have it.

'Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.'

The thugs scream to give them their welfare or else. Just like unions.

Didn't Glen Beck predict worldwide riots and chaos just recently, because Islam, the Left, and the dysfunctional need disorder because without it they are without power and outside the mainstream?

I found one interview with Beck - he sounds almost prophetic:

Glenn Beck: Revolution? Civil unrest? Riots?

Swelling list of demands fuels Israel protests

[TruthConquers]

Global economic uncertainty leads the looters to use their new cell phones to create flash mobs.

And the commies to encourage it.

[traditional1]

I don't care what Glen Beck said or didn't say.

What we have are 4th generation welfare folks in the USA, who have never had to do anything but collect food stamps, collect welfare checks, get debit cards for "walkin' around money" (aka, for crack purchasing), get free medical care via Medicaid, pay NO INCOME TAXES or SOCIAL SECURITY, get PAID to vote Democrat and keep it comin', live in government housing for free, etc., etc. "Whitey" owes it to them, and it's a "Right", they've been told.....if you get caught, just yell "RACISM", and you are home free.

With the above mentality, when the money from earners runs out, they will head for the suburbs, to TAKE what they think is THEIRS, from "Whitey".....because SHARED SACRIFICE means YOU work and earn, and THEY get the benefits without lifting a finger.

[SkyPilot]

For 3 days, the world press has avoided the race of the rioters. All they said was "youths." That is the term they have been using in Philadelphia to describe violent "flash mobs" that are literally torturing innocent victims.

Now, the first time they identify them as "minorities", it comes along with a "white guilt because their welfare was cut" clause.

[AlexW]

I agree that unrest is only going to get worse, but the big surge will be in the US and Europe.

This article is one reason why I never ever read or watch the Marxist media, like CNBC, CNN, or PMSNBC.
Only recently did I start receiving FOX news via satellite.
The new service does NOT get CNN or BBC, That is why I bought it.

I live in the Philippines, and never heard of the unrest here.
I had to ask my girlfriend, and she recalls only a labor dispute near Manila at the president’s sugarcane plantation,
certainly not nationwide.
It was little more then typical of a factory strike in the US.

I feel much better living here on Cebu then anywhere in the new USSA.

[SkyPilot]

And the commies to encourage it.

They do.

Found another Beck youtube. I was never a huge fan of this guy, but oh boy - he sounds like he recorded this today.

A BELIEF THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NOT WORKED FOR IS THE CAUSE OF THE UNREST!

Guns were taken from the Brits, but that doesn't mean they can't get creative.

Liquor store owners who are in the path of the looters could switch out the contents of the bottles with liquid drain cleaner.

Electrified fences (up the voltage) works with dumb animals, you could fry a lot of these idiots before they caught on.

Would not surprise me if those on the street were into free drugs if they thought that was what they were getting. Thousands of tied off balloons with crushed crystal drain cleaner left on the street would slow down the looters.

Finally, anyone showing up at the emergency room for care could be immediately arrested for crimes against society.

We had better start paying attention. Worldwide anarchy is coming, courtesy of the left. Then Islam is going to jump in and act like it’s the best thing for the entire planet.

Beware.

American men put out of manufacturing jobs and families during the ‘80s and ‘90s didn’t act that way. Bosses, enjoy your depression caused by political correctness.

Tell it to Wall Street.

The left is rallying there troops world wide at this point. They want there version of Leftist Utopia of death, mass executions, famine, total corruption, and its everyone for themselves. And of course those who will be at the top, for how long that will last, get to be kings while they direct the evil to all corners of the Earth. Evil is on the march and it smells blood in the water.

Looks like a description of the Venus Project. They make videos like “Zeitgeist” and run campaign adds for Ron Paul.

Since when was there any such thing as "economic certainty"?

Thanks SkyPilot.

Here's a look at what's happening around the world and how economic downturns are bringing protestors into the streets.

Obama's Fault!!! It's funny, no matter when or where urban violence takes place, we hear that same swill about economic reasons. And it is literally never true -- particularly in any country with a public dole.
