From London to the Rest of the World: Where is Violent Unrest Spreading Across the Globe?

The U.K. is experiencing its latest round of unrest, which seems to be an almost monthly occurrence. But as Glenn has predicted many times before, the violence is not staying contained. Now, others are starting to connect the dots.
CNBC published an article yesterday showing where the unrest is spreading. So where is that, exactly? How about Israel, Spain, Greece, Portugal, the Philippines, China, and Syria.
“Great Britain and other parts of the world are experiencing unrest at a time of global economic uncertainty and stock market volatility,” the article notes. “Here‘s a look at what’s happening around the world and how economic downturns are bringing protestors into the streets.”
We’ve well documented what’s going on in Great Britain, so here are some excerpts from CNBC’s analysis of the rest of the world:
Israel:
Some 250,000 people took to the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, on Saturday over the rising cost of living. Demonstrations actually began last month when a few people set up tents in an expensive part of Tel Aviv to protest rising property prices.
[...]
Here are some of the demands from protestors, according to Reuters:
Increase personal tax brackets for top earners Enshrine the right to housing in the law; introduce rent controls; boost mortgage relief Stop further privatization of things such as health facilities Provide free education for all from the age of three months Raise the minimum wage to 50 percent of the average wage
Greece, Spain, Portugal:
In late June, riots broke out in Athens and other parts of Greece as the country’s parliament voted to approve severe cutbacks in government spending.
Dozens were hurt and businesses destroyed as police battled rioters with tear gas and night sticks.
[...]
In Spain, thousands of people turned out in late May to protest the country’s 21 percent unemployment rate.
[...]
Portugal saw massive strikes and protests last March in response to government spending cuts. At least 200,000 people gathered in Lisbon.
The Philippines:
Thousand of workers took to the streets throughout the country in May of this year to march for higher pay. They demanded better wages in light of rising inflation, including higher oil prices.
They called on the government of President Benigno Aquino III to do more to help protect jobs.
[...]
China
Nearly 1,000 cab drivers in eastern China blocked traffic and protested on Aug. 1 over rising fuel costs. It was the latest sign of discontent about the country’s surging inflation.
Inflation is hitting China hard, with food prices recently increasing 12 percent. Many Chinese officials are reported concerned that inflation, along with rising property prices, could lead to even more unrest.
This past June, thousands of workers battled for three days with police in the capital city of the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. They were protesting declining living standards.
[...]
Syria
In another legacy from the Arab Spring, protests and riots in Syria against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad have been going on for five months.
Reports say at least 1,600 people have been killed by government forces.
The demonstrations are a combination of calls for economic as well as political changes. [...]

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 2:25pmWe need to start preparing for civil war. My fear is government weapons and massive use of force will be overwhelming. Once they capture enough people we’re in trouble. Russia killed 25% of its population, China 30%, and I’m guessing the U.S. can easily take out 30% of the entire population and easily replace the dead with foreign citizens.

I do see the time coming where Mr Obama will call for the use of the armed forces against the citizens of the land and declare the gun owners, the tea party, conservatives, christians who oppose social justice, and all they deem via Homeland Security to be a terrorist threat.
The first time blood is deliberatly shed by the administration to enforce their socialist-progressive agendas; there will be a full scale civil war and uprising within the nation.

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 1:03pmSocial inequality is at the root of this [and of course brutal often american or soviet backed dictatorships or their legacies in the mid east].The youth are rising up in this century and this millenium of the people.The youth of england have nothing and are given no hope as the nanny state has had to curtail their benefits to conform to the IMF [american]hypercapitalists.These are the children of immigrants whose, parents were passive and submissive towards their former colonial masters even as they were treated like second class citizens.The 21st c mind set is not submissive and not passive[ launched by alquada on 9-11] Their rioting is understandable and if unemployment here was 55 percent for the youth as it is there we would be and should be in the streets too! The israeli youth are also victimized by right wing greedy capitalis/militarist elites and even though israel gets billions in aid , it goes to corporations and defense. The youth there are also without hope .as their right wing government is hell bent on occupation and hanging on to illigal territory and could care less about its’ youth..The youth should jjoin forces with the palestinians and demand justice.Fox is too scared to talk about social inequality in israel,england or here.

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 11:29amThe Bible says that just before Jesus returns that lawlessness will abound (rise up everywhere). What we see before us is that prophecy beginning to come to pass. All over the world. In that atmosphere of rebellion and unrest the antichrist can bring together many peoples for his purpose of one world. Is Obama the antichrist ? No. He is Islamic which is antichrist by doctrine and belief, and practice, but he is not “the” antichrist. The world is being prepared for some very major change, and we see it happening right now. remember, the great depression brought us Adolf Hitler. What will the great great depression bring the world as it looks for someone who has the answers to the problems.
The smart person would accept Jesus as Lord and ask to be forgiven while there is still the ability to do so. The world is changing and someday Christians will be seen as the enemy and not allowed to tell you what you need to know right now. Time is short. If you haven’t done so yet, read from the Bible, Matthew chapter 24. because what is says is what you have been seeing in the weather, the economy, and in the behavior of the people around the world.

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 2:33pmA day is like 1000 days and a 1000 days is like a day unto the Lord. That said- is this it? I do not know. I believe we are on the track though. But understand this, from Daniel 9 we will know for certain that these are end times when we see the abomination that makes desolation sitting in the temple. Further, he will cause the end of sacrifices and offerings. This says to me two things. The temple has to be rebuilt AND the Jews will have to find a member of the Levite family as only one from the tribe of Levite can administer the offerings and sacrifices. And I have heard that this may be very difficult to do. Both the rebuilding of the temple and finding a true Levite decedent may prove to be acts of God.

Are you referring to non whites like the black panther party standing in front of poll stations in military attire with batons?
Are you referring to so called black leaders who through lies and distorted history repeatedly claim victim hood and racism
Are you referring to Islam who’s evil slithers through our society like Satan in the garden of Eden
Are you referring to illegals who commit crimes and degrade the American society by utilizing services and suck away jobs from true Americans.

Report Post »The end of sacrificial offerings in the Temples was brought about by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There is no more need for blood sacrifice, now we must offer up our hearts. Although God has restricted the authority to perform ordinances to a certain people at times. God in these last days has expanded this authority to all those who are willing ot accept the covenants associated with it. There is no longer a need for a direct descendent of Abraham, those that are not of direct descent are literally adopted into his lineage. The temple(s) have been rebuilt and many people with the authority perform the work the Lord prescribes within them.

Posted on August 10, 2011 at 10:54amThe world’s largest army: America’s hunters! I had never thought about this…
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin.
Allow me to restate that number SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Over the last several months, Wisconsin’s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran.
More than in France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan’s 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that
the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting — it’s not just a way to fill the freezer. It’s a matter of national security.
That’s why all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC , want to see us disarmed.
