In Uganda people have been going to the streets with "walk to work" peaceful demonstrations since april. The police overreacted enormously which resulted in 10 deaths and many injured. Last wednesday and thursday all shopkeepers closed shop, next monday all public transport will be stopped. All this is because people are fed up with the government overspending on their own things while the people are suffering because of immense inflation (16%). They cannot pay for food anymore as the price increases are too much. Since 5 July we are in the dark, because the power supply has been cut due to the inability of the government to pay the suppliers bills. One way to get used to living without electricity. So, lots of unrest here and it is not over yet.

“We are very concerned by the recent crackdown on peaceful demonstrators by the Government in Malaysia, and particularly disappointed to see the apparent use of excessive force by the police against so many peaceful demonstrators in an established democracy like Malaysia,” said Rupert Colville, a spokesperson for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — A group of doctors said today they were prepared to provide sworn affidavits to say that police had fired tear gas and chemical-laced water into the compounds of the Tung Shin and Chinese Maternity Hospitals during the Bersih rally last Saturday.

In a statement tonight, 11 doctors, including some who were at the scene, said they were outraged at the actions of the police in firing tear gas and water cannons without scant regard for the safety of patients and doctors.

“We, the undersigned doctors, wish not to enter into the polemics of the Bersih 2.0 march on 9th July 2011 but would like to clarify the inconvenient truth.

“We are outraged at the incidents, and the subsequent responses from the authorities, to the events where tear gas and chemical-laced water were shot into the compounds of the Tung Shin and Chinese Maternity Hospitals, two adjacent buildings along Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, with scant regard for the safety of patients, staff and the general public who were at the buildings that afternoon,” the doctors said.

Official Calls For Riverside, 12 Other Counties To Secede From California

New state would have no term limits, part-time legislature

RIVERSIDE (CBS) — Is the state of California about to go “South”?

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone apparently thinks so, after proposing that the county lead a campaign for as many as 13 Southern California counties to secede from the state.

Stone said in a statement late Thursday that Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties should form the new state of South California.

The creation of the new state would allow officials to focus on securing borders, balancing budgets, improving schools and creating a vibrant economy, he said.

“Our taxes are too high, our schools don’t educate our children well enough, unions and other special interests have more clout in the Legislature than the general public,” Stone said in his statement.

He unveiled his proposal on the day Gov. Jerry Brown signed budget legislation that will divert about $14 million in 2011-12 vehicle license fee revenue from four new Riverside County cities.

Officials fear the cut will cripple the new cities of Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee and Wildomar.

Stone said he would present his proposal to the Board of Supervisors July 12.

The new state would have no term limits, only a part-time legislature and limits on property taxes.

Violence erupts during Malawi protests

ZT regarding Libya (who wants to intervene there again?):

Of course the elite in European countries are interested in the lands of Africa and its aquifers, as Africa will be almost entirely above the waves after the pole shift. France lept into Libya during the current protests, to assist the rebels, and this is not strictly for humanitarian reasons. They led the pack there, instituting bombing of Gadafi's troops almost before the ink was dry on the UN resolution. France will be devastated by the pole shift, as our description details, with water washing over the country from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and with Paris devastated. There sits Libya, just across the Mediterranean, with land aplenty, oil, and access to the aquifer!

The elite in Europe are torn between supporting the old regimes and befriending the protesters. The protesters almost exclusively do not have identifiable leadership where the old regimes had clearly defined leadership, and had been in place so long as to be ossified. Now come the protests, with democracy in the offing, all of which destabilizes more than the old regimes. It destabilizes plans the elite may have put into place! Where migration at present is from Africa to Europe, this will reverse at some point, after the European tsunami, carrying with it many surprises. More to come on this another day!

Swazi democracy talks stumble
2011-07-30 20:32

Mbabane - Talks on democratic reforms in Africa's last absolute monarchy stumbled Saturday as the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions, the country's largest labour group, walked out of a civil society meeting.

The "national convention", which opened on Friday, aimed to bring together civil society groups to map out how the kingdom could begin negotiations toward multi-party democracy.

But the labour federation argued King Mswati III - who snubbed the gathering after being invited to deliver an opening address - had not shown a commitment to dialogue.

"Our position is that the king has refused to entertain the question of dialogue. He said this as recently as last year. It would appear that instead of strengthening our mass power we are busy talking dialogue, a language that the king refuses to embrace," said national organiser Fundizwi Sikhondze.

Sikhondze said unions would rather return to the streets to resume the demonstrations that have shaken Swaziland in recent months.

Pro-democracy groups, Aids activists and unions have staged unprecedented protests across the impoverished kingdom since April, complaining about an economic meltdown that is threatening the livelihoods of the country's 1.2 million people.

Swaziland is battling to stay solvent after last year losing 60% of its revenues from a regional customs union, the government's main source of income.

The government has frozen public-sector salaries and asked unions to accept pay cuts, leading to mass protests that have been violently put down by security forces.

Growing public resentment has lent momentum to calls for Mswati to step down.

The king - whose fortune is estimated at $100 million - is famous for his jet-set lifestyle and lavish spending on his 13 wives, each of whom has her own palace.

Revolution is coming to America!

http://oko-planet.su/first/76275-revolyuciya-prihodit-v-ameriku.html

A month and a half remains to mass riot in the streets of New York... Hundreds and thousands of sites, blogs, Twitter pages are devoted to the upcoming Super action street protests in New York. The date is - September 17. Location - Wall Street. This should be particularly emphasized: this place was chosen deliberately. Wall Street is a symbol of the speculative capital, which led America into the most brutal crisis in history. This place is where "corporatocracy" rules - the main enemy of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are losing their jobs daily, receive less pay, lose their savings, and are evicted from homes for overdue credit. This is the informal name of a transnational financial octopus, which, through the efforts of the Fed in recent years of growing crisis fed on trillions of dollars while the rest of the American people struggled to make ends meet.

The movement which is preparing the event is called OccupyWallStreet. Its institutional focus is the group Adbusters - a radical anticonsumerist movement of North America, acting against the corporations and banks, corruption and hegemony of the Federal Reserve, against the "financial Gomorrah" and the consumer society that imposed on American society most absurd of ideas - the belief in limitless possibility of life in debt. Along the way they support the rejection of overseas military bases, and generally for an end to U.S. imperial policies in the world.

"Chilean Winter" is coming Burst

August 7, 2011
It began as a series of peaceful protests calling for reforms to the Chilean government about the education system, deploying massive besatones students, dressed in superhero costumes and twirling around the presidential palace. But on Thursday this surreal protests exploded into violence when school and university students clashed with police and took a television station, claiming the right to a live broadcast in order to express their demands.

The Chilean winter, as is being called, seems to have captured the public mood and the Arab spring for six months.

---

A year ago, Chile was celebrating his newfound drive and government Piñera was commended by the world media by the teamwork developed to rescue 33 miners trapped copper. Today's heroes are the student leaders, including Vallejo, who play an important political power.

Piñera has fired his minister of education and promised billions in spending for education in an unsuccessful attempt to quell the protests.

After receiving tear gas Thursday, Vallejo asked citizens to show their support for the striking students, banging pots and pans to 9 pm - a reminder of those called to the streets in the Pinochet era. His call spread like wildfire on social networks and led to a busy night of celebrations, spontaneous street festivals and the national consciousness that Chile is experiencing a historic moment, with a movement that transcends traditional class and social boundaries .

I asked the Z's about the London riots and will post the answer early. It is BOTH about government cuts AND opportunism in a place that has been tolerant in the past. Same was said of the France riots. The Arab Spring has been brave protests, facing death and torture, etc. The London riots are not that.

London Burns As Rioters And Looters Run Amok
August 9, 2011
http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16045926
Violence and looting breaks out across London - as unrest also hits Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool. There have been disturbances in Hackney in east London, as well as Lewisham, Peckham, Croydon and Clapham Junction in the south, and Ealing in the west. Trouble was also reported in Camden in north London. More than 1,700 extra police officers were deployed across the capital overnight as violent scenes broke out. The unrest was said to have been sparked by the police shooting of local man Mark Duggan. The shooting is being investigated by the police watchdog and the rioting occurred after a peaceful protest was held in response to Mr Duggan's death.



SOZT
Riots have been attributed to an explosion of rage over intolerable living conditions, but more is afoot. Intolerable living conditions exist worldwide, but the populace living in some of the most repressed areas, and in the most egregious conditions, never riot. Rioting occurs because the mob anticipates succeeding, bettering themselves in some way. Rather than rioting where conditions are the WORST, rioting is likely to occur where making demands and even crimes has been tolerated in the past. It is no secret that highly repressive regimes have quiet streets, low crime rates, and a compliant citizenry. China eliminated its opium addicts in the past by simply killing them off. Islam attempts to deal with adultery by stoning the participants and theft by cutting off a hand.

Prior 2005 ZT: http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta247.htm
Why would riots emerge in France, as a leading country in this regard? France is not only tolerant of immigrants seeking jobs, it is also tolerant of public expression, rioting included. This is not to say that live is worse in France, as it most certainly is not worse there than elsewhere. This is to say that the heavy hand of repression is not as heavy there, thus the lid blows off the pot sooner than in those places around the world. More bankruptcies, more homelessness, more burglaries and embezzlement, more families moving in together with consequent clashing agendas, more suicides and lawsuits, but unlikely to be more riots.

New Delhi Police Arrest Leader of Anti-Corruption Protest and Hundreds of Others

NEW DELHI — Seeking to pre-empt a mass demonstration and hunger strike against corruption, the police in New Delhi on Tuesday detained more than 1,200 protesters only hours after officers made an early morning arrest of the leader of the anti-corruption movement.

The arrest of the leader, Anna Hazare, was practically preordained after he vowed to carry out a hunger strike at a public park in New Delhi, despite local police denying him a demonstration permit. Mr. Hazare had planned to begin fasting on Tuesday, but the police took him and his aides into custody at 7:30 a.m., before he could depart for the park.

The arrests, along with the detention of protesters trying to gather at the demonstration site, immediately shook up Indian politics. Parliament adjourned for the day. Opposition political leaders assailed the national government for cracking down against peaceful protesters. Meanwhile, a top government official said Mr. Hazare’s arrest was a law-and-order issue and a justifiable response to his defiance of the police.

“They made it very clear they would defy,” said Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, who estimated the number of detained protesters at between 1,200 and 1,300 by midday. Protest leaders estimated that nearly 3,000 people had been detained and called on people across the country to switch off their lights at 7 p.m. to mark “this dark day for our democracy.”

Protests were also under way Tuesday in other major Indian cities, including Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, with large crowds gathering and shouting slogans against corruption….  (Emphasis added.)  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/world/asia/17india.html?_r=1&hp

'Protesters attacked in Saudi Arabia'

Massive protests sweep accross India

Tens of thousands of Libyans in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi celebrate the rebels' advance into the capital, Tripoli.

Tripoli Falls to Libyan Rebels

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyan rebels raced into Tripoli Sunday and met little resistance as Moammar Gadhafi's defenders melted away and his 42-year rule rapidly crumbled. The euphoric fighters celebrated with residents of the capital in Green Square, the symbolic heart of the fading regime.

Gadhafi's whereabouts were unknown, though state TV broadcast his bitter pleas for Libyans to defend his regime. Opposition fighters captured his son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, who along with his father faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. Another son was in contact with rebels about surrendering, the opposition said.

Most of Tripoli under rebel control, celebrations in Green Square

Please remember that both President Obama and President Ahmadinejad are service to other sleepers, and there are other such sleepers.  Also, just because it is not common knowledge that President Ahmadinejad is indeed STO does not mean the Zetas are wrong about his orientation.

... We have spoken of a contingent in the federal government that has been concerned since the start of the Bush takeover by voter fraud in 2000 about a loss of democracy in the US. This includes members of Congress, the Judiciary, the FBI, the US military, and members of all the federal agencies. Many quit in disgust, but most remained in place, doing whatever was required to retain their jobs, and biding their time. One might call them "patriot sleeper cells".... One of the sleeper cells within the intelligence community decided to act, to strongly counter the Bush claim that Iran was a danger.  (Emphasis added.)  http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta415.htm

Can you tell us if the Iranian election protest is provoked by the US intelligence, Israeli Zionist, etc? What will be the outcome of all this? What is Ahmadinejad's spritual orientation? I feel he makes a great Iranian president, He's no puppet!

We have already spoken to the issue of the president's orientation, that being Service-to-Other. For those who find this hard to believe, one must be mature enough to be able to envision what it takes to co-exist with religious leaders in a hard line country.  The same is true of Obama, who inherited a mess and cannot work miracles on his own....  http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta517.htm

If Ahmadinejad is so STO, why is Iran in the throes of such massive civil unrest, with the rallying cry on the streets "death to the dictator"? If he won the election fair and square, why did the clerics see fit to commit voter fraud, unless they were simply fearful STS hiding behind this puppet of theirs?

As with the case of Obama, who is supposed to accomplish miracles, pass laws bypassing Congress, and dictating to the Judicial system what judgements they make in the process if necessary, this is narrow and childish thinking. Obama can only execute what laws the congress enacts, and cannot dictate. Iran's president Ahmadinejad likewise is limited in what he can do. Both leaders attempt to work within the restrictions, to accomplish as much good as is possible, given the situation. http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta556.htm
