Sociological Changes

[Gerard Zwaan]

February 23, 2011. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/ahmadinejad-predicts-mideast-unrest-coming-to-america/ Iran's president said Wednesday he is certain the wave of unrest in the Middle East will spread to Europe and North America, bringing an end to governments he accused of oppressing and humiliating people. "The world is on the verge of big developments. Changes will be forthcoming and will engulf the whole world from Asia to Africa and from Europe to North America," Ahmadinejad told a news conference. Ahmadinejad said the world was in need of a just system of rule that "puts an end to oppression, occupation and humiliation of people." [and from another] This correlates with what the Zetas said about the 8 of 10, "These sociological and political dramas are part of the 8 of 10 scenarios, as well as geological and astronomical features. This is the next chapter." https://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blogs/zetatalk-fame The Zetas did say that Ahmadinejad is STO . Did he got his information from reading ZT or is there more too it?

 

Ahmadinejad is speaking as a leader of a Muslim country, viewing the Arab Spring as an uprising against colonialism, imperialism, and western corporate influence. This stance is expected of him because of his political role in Iran. The article makes much of Ahmadinejad's criticism of Gaddafi and his brutal treatment of his people. This is to differentiate between an Arab leader who was considered a puppet, as was Mubarak, and Gaddafi who was considered a leader who resisted western influence and control and thus should be a brother to his people. Does Ahmadinejad read ZetaTalk and have an inside track on the Transformation, the pending 8 of 10 scenarios? Yes on both fronts, as despite disbelief that Ahmadinejad is a Service-to-Other individual, he is a sleeper like Obama, awaiting his opportunities to make a difference in the world. He gives a hint as to the sequence of revolt and discontent - from the Arab Spring to Asia, then Africa, then Europe and thence to N America.

Still thinking of heading to France for your holiday? Horrendous traffic jams, run the gauntlet of migrants, road blockades, wildfires at campsites… and now farmers are spraying manure over cars 

• 10,000 holidaymakers were forced to flee as wildfires tore through bone-dry forests in the southern Var region
• More fires broke out yesterday west of Bordeaux, threatening 1,000 houses, thanks to soaring summer temperatures
• In the north 5,000 migrants are camping at Calais and invading the Channel Tunnel on a nightly basis to reach UK
• An estimated 2,000 people invaded the tunnel last night, said operator Eurotunnel, as two more today hit by trains
• Meanwhile in the east farmers are spraying unsuspecting cars with manure, closing highways in food-price protest

Thousands of British holidaymakers have been caught up in a summer of chaos in France, running the gauntlet of migrants, road blockades and wildfires at campsites.

And as if that wasn’t enough, farmers have now begun spraying manure over cars in protest at falling food prices.

More than 2,000 migrants tried to force their way into the Channel Tunnel overnight, according to operator Eurotunnel, as more than 5,000 people camp out around Calais waiting for an opportunity to enter the UK.

Chaos in France: Farmers have launched a protest in the east of France, spraying unsuspecting cars with waves of manure and forcing the closure of the A31 highway due to falling food prices

‘It was the biggest incursion effort in the past month and a half,’ said the spokesman for Eurotunnel, which is battling often deadly efforts to smuggle themselves into Britain.

‘All our security personnel, that is nearly 200 people as well as police were called in.’

The migrants tried to enter the site between midnight and 6am.

Tourists faced serious delays throughout much of today following the incursion attempt, with passengers held up for around an hour on the British side and 30 minutes on the French side.

Local authorities were unable to say whether any of the migrants were hurt in the attempt, although a French police source denied that there were as many as 2,000 involved.

Since the beginning of June, eight migrants have died trying to enter the tunnel. 

Two migrants are in hospital this evening in Calais after being hit by high-speed trains as they tried to enter Britain through the Channel Tunnel today.

Seven others were saved from drowning at around the same time after falling into a concrete water collection basin near the Tunnel entrance.

Reports of their perilous attempts came as holidaymakers faced travel misery yet again today after the latest migrant chaos triggered huge delays on the Eurotunnel, with estimates putting waiting times at an hour in both directions.

Operation Stack – which saw the closure of Junctions 8 to 11 of the M20 motorway – ended on Sunday, but queues have been extremely slow to start moving again.

But when they finally enter France, things only seem to get worse for Britain’s holidaymakers.

'The message of the day for either side has been lost' Police condemn BOTH anti-racism activists and far right protesters after clashes force Melbourne CBD into lockdown 

• Anti-racism protesters clashed with anti-immigration groups outside Melbourne's Parliament House 
• Protesters from 'No Room for Racism' will meet members of Reclaim Australia and the United Patriots Front
• Tensions started to bubble after threats were made on social media warning that 'blood will be spilt'
• Police were forced to spray the angry crowds in pepper spray in a bid to take control of the chaotic rally
• One man was arrested for assault, while three others were detained for participating in riotous behaviou

Extreme right-wing protesters and anti-racism activists clashed with each other and police in Melbourne's CBD, with dozens pepper sprayed and four people arrested during the ugly scenes.

The dramatic events were sparked by a rally held outside Parliament House by a pair of anti-Muslim groups, Reclaim Australia and United Patriots Front.

Groups opposing the 'racist' event, Rally Against Racism and United Against Islamophobia, flooded the area and attempted to confront people at the planned event.

Dramatic pictures taken during the violent clashes show a number of protesters with bloodshot eyes desperately having milk poured on their faces after being pepper sprayed by police officers trying to control the crowds. 

Other photographs show a number of people with their faces covered by masks, scarves or jumpers carrying signs and flags, marching through the streets and confronting police.

Despite the response from officers appearing extreme, Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said it was necessary to cope with the protests.

'[Police] were at significant threat of having their lines over run and it was a tool we had to use at the time,' he said, according to the ABC.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said that while the use of pepper spray may appear extreme, it was completely justified as violence continued to escalate

According to various articles,  of the scarce number articles covering the nationwide protests,  this one failed to mentioned that protests were apparently going on all over the country at the same time.  This march being many more than 50k but likely 100k+. 

Tens of thousands march in London against coalition's austerity measures, UK

An estimated 50,000 people in London addressed by speakers, including Russell Brand, after People's Assembly march

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/21/protest-march-auste...

Tens of thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday afternoon in protest at austerity measures introduced by the coalition government. The demonstrators gathered before the Houses of Parliament, where they were addressed by speakers, including comedians Russell Brand and Mark Steel.

An estimated 50,000 people marched from the BBC's New Broadcasting House in central London to Westminster.

"The people of this building [the House of Commons] generally speaking do not represent us, they represent their friends in big business. It's time for us to take back our power," said Brand.

"This will be a peaceful, effortless, joyful revolution and I'm very grateful to be involved in the People's Assembly."

"Power isn't there, it is here, within us," he added. "The revolution that's required isn't a revolution of radical ideas, but the implementation of ideas we already have."

A spokesman for the People's Assembly, which organised the march, said the turnout was "testament to the level of anger there is at the moment".

He said that Saturday's action was "just the start", with a second march planned for October in conjunction with the Trades Union Congress, as well as strike action expected next month.

People's Assembly spokesman Clare Solomon said: "It is essential for the welfare of millions of people that we stop austerity and halt this coalition government dead in its tracks before it does lasting damage to people's lives and our public services."

Sam Fairburn, the group's national secretary, added: "Cuts are killing people and destroying cherished public services which have served generations."

Activists from the Stop The War Coalition and CND also joined the demonstration.

The crowds heard speeches at Parliament Square from People's Assembly supporters, including Caroline Lucas MP and journalist Owen Jones. Addressing the marchers, Jones said: "Who is really responsible for the mess this country is in? Is it the Polish fruit pickers or the Nigerian nurses? Or is it the bankers who plunged it into economic disaster – or the tax avoiders? It is selective anger."

He added: "The Conservatives are using the crisis to push policies they have always supported. For example, the sell-off of the NHS. They have built a country in which most people who are in poverty are also in work."

The People's Assembly was set up with an open letter to the Guardian in February 2013. Signatories to letter included Tony Benn, who died in March this year, journalist John Pilger and filmmaker Ken Loach.

In the letter, they wrote: "This is a call to all those millions of people in Britain who face an impoverished and uncertain year as their wages, jobs, conditions and welfare provision come under renewed attack by the government.

"The assembly will provide a national forum for anti-austerity views which, while increasingly popular, are barely represented in parliament."

The Metropolitan police refused to provide an estimate. A police spokesman said the force had received no reports of arrests.

EU preparing for 'state of emergency' after Greek talks collapse

Germany's EU commissioner said on Monday it was time to prepare for a "state of emergency" after talks collapsed at the weekend to rescue Greece from default and ejection from the euro.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras ignored a litany of pleas from European leaders to act fast and instead blamed creditors for the collapse in aid-for-austerity talks, the biggest setback yet in long-running talks to secure more aid for Greece.

Athens now has just two weeks to find a way out of the impasse before it faces a 1.6 billion euro bill due to the International Monetary Fund, potentially leaving it out of cash, unable to borrow and cast out of the single currency.

While there was little sign of open panic in Athens as Greeks held out hope for a last-minute solution - a familiar theme over the past six years as Athens lurched from one crisis to the next - the latest impasse triggered a selloff in European and Asian shares and weighed on the euro.

Truth and Reconciliation report brings calls for action, not words

Commission releases 94 recommendations to confront 'cultural genocide' of schools

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/truth-and-reconciliation-report-bri...

Canadians must believe in the need for reconciliation with Aboriginal Peoples to repair the damage caused by residential schools, aboriginal leaders said Tuesday, as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its summary report and findings.

Justice Murray Sinclair, chair of the commission, called for changes in policies and programs, as well as commemoration through education and memorials, in introducing the commission's summary report and 94 recommendations.

​"Words are not enough," Sinclair said, to address the "cultural genocide" of residential schools on aboriginal communities....................

..............."Our recommendations should not be seen as an itemization of a national penance but as an opportunity to embrace a second chance at establishing a relationship of equals, which was intended at the beginning and should have continued throughout," he told the crowd.....

.........

Archbishop Fred Hiltz, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, delivered a joint statement with representatives from the Presbyterian, United and Catholic churches, acknowledging the "heartbreaking stories" of young students at schools that were administered by the churches.

"We know and declare that our apologies are not enough," he said. "Those harmed were children, vulnerable, far from their families and their communities. The sexual, physical and emotional abuse they suffered is well-documented, particularly in the work of the TRC."

The summary report released today called on the Pope to issue an official apology, to be delivered in Canada within a year. In 2009, Pope Benedict XVI expressed "sorrow" for abuse aboriginal student... at residential schools run by the Roman Catholic Church.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pretty hard to fathom just how abused those young kids were, and the impacts are still being felt today. My hope is that people can reform and change how those who lived in Canada before anyone else are looked at, treated and brought into a society that doesn't try and institutionally put them down. The feelings many people in this country have towards Native Canadians is appalling, hopefully this can 'wake people up'!
