The clashes continue. There is no doubt, the chief of police has said as much apparently, that the police wanted to dissolve the demo in Syntagma for good. The government media (and that includes the major private channels) are trying to spin this situation as the working of anarchists or even of the left. They are desperate and they are dangerous. Democracy has failed. Europe has failed democracy. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom - William Blake
Panda-what's-his-name is making a BIG mistake. This isn't a bunch of students and young people anymore. This is beginning to shape as a wide based nationalist revolt against foreign domination. The psychology, aims, and fervor of which is completely different from what the elites have previously seen.

needs to be endlessly repeated. they are too clever to fly any flags any more, they-who-must-be-obeyed. their puppets like SK and the new ice queen are just the front line stooges, the real movers and shakers are in the shadows, hiding behind the near-total lack of democratic transparency in the upper financial stratosphere.
lizards with political leverage, hijacking the forces of law and turning them into blackshirts who provoke mayhem to cover their agenda.
all the while their business houses of cards financially leveraged, under water of their own making, they try to drown the people from the safety of their own liveried lifeboats.
perhaps the emergency will morph to an emergence. it's the best we can hope for at this point.
egypt is making it clear it's a lot easier to start a revolution than sustain it to the point it really replaces what went before, plus ca change... kicking dictators out is only the first step, creating a new system from scratch, now that's hard, and made harder by the armed forces and secret police who continue their depredations as if little or nothing had changed, other than a statue or two gets downed, and a dictator shuffles or is carried off stage. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."

They are desperate and they are dangerous. Democracy has failed. Europe has failed democracy.
What we have is tyranny by banks and government by and for bankers. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
Parasitic skimmers.
It isn't the legislators, but the fact that they are paid to do the wrong thing.
Cut off the banks. The body will die. Align culture with our nature.
