May Day turns violent in Europe
Reuters
Friday, May 1, 2009
May Day protesters clashed with riot police in Germany, Turkey and Greece on Friday while thousands angry at the government’s responses to the global financial crisis took to the streets in France.
Rising unemployment across Europe and beyond has added intensity to May Day marches as last year’s market crash and banking meltdown rolls into the real economy.
There were early morning clashes in Germany and protests in Istanbul swiftly turned violent. Greek police clashed with self-styled anarchists.

Turkish riot police fired water cannon and tear gas, firing shots and pepper spray to disperse masked protesters. Young men hurled stones and Molotov cocktails, smashing bank and shop windows in side streets.
An Istanbul police spokesman said 68 demonstrators were detained and 11 police wounded. Leftists and Kurdish separatists regularly clash with police at demonstrations in Turkey and the May Day protest last year also turned violent.
Turkey’s government had declared May Day, traditionally marked across Europe and beyond by rallies by labour unions, a public holiday this year under pressure from the unions.

Do not protest in the US, We will send the census police out to your house to question you and mark your front door with gps. Then they will kick your door down and forcably vaccinate you and send you to Camp Fema for some R and R. When you are dead we will use our mass graves or Mobile incinerator to dispose. Problem solved.

This is just one incident. Our liberty’s far and wide are being strangely torn apart by whom? People, who want to rule others, for there Own selfish Interests. Such Similarities Go Back to the slaves In Egypt. To a time we all learned was a Part of the Bible. When God sent Plaques to convince Pharoah To let God’s People go from “RULE” It took the Power of God to convince another man with absolute Power, to let those enslaved to be free. That Part of History goes back Hundreds of years. Man “THOUGHT” he ruled this world, and God Had to show him, that God alone rules life. Not even Satan can or will have Power over The Father, The son, and The Holy Spirit. It’s time we all read what God had men write for him. They were Called Apostles,Followers of Christ. They wrote, The Bible, Or the word of God. Time we give him thanks again for what we have, because one day, it maybe taken away from us, for a time. Power and control, Good and Evil, always have fought against one another. Since the Beginning of time. Man Nor Satan will Ever win this battle with Christ. But how much are we all willing to ignor? How much would we fight back if need be?

In my opinion, only a bloody revolution can solve this mess.
Of course would thousands, maybe millions of people die.
It would be a civil war with high tech armed, and armored soldiers on one side, and people with rifles and guns on the other side.
But I think this has to happen all over the world.
They laugh, and ignore our protests.
We have to tell ourselves: “There is something wrong. The world is sick. There is a cancer in our society. It has to be removed the hard way.” And the police and military should be asked individually which side they’re on.
I know there are people of higher rank on the peoples side.
That has to grow, before itś to late…

Everybody is too tired on this side of the pond—-and still in denial. If working too many hours doesn’t do you in then the chem trails will.
