Bazz,

I think you'll find that the unrest in Egypt was fueled by decades of IMF and World Bank reforms which served only to enrich the ruling elite while the lives of ordinary Egyptians deteriorated.
Egypt was the World Bank's top reformer in recent years due to structural adjustment programs and other measures to attract foreign investment.

The cause of the australian riots will be the utter mismanagement of public funding. Some pay so much on taxes & fees & permits & licenses etc etc whilst others can plan their comfortable retirement from the day they start in Public Service. It's the haves who had everything taken from them to give to those who never get enough & don't deserve who will be standing up.

Does England have a carbon tax ? The fires/smoke should prove a windfall for the Government then.

Poirot quoted an article that blames the IMF for Eygpt's problems.
However the article says this as well;

The turmoil in Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Pakistan is also due to a
sharp escalation in commodity and food prices, part of global
capitalistic speculation. In Egypt, food prices have soared 17 per
cent of late and that’s going to hurt ordinary people as 40 per cent
of Egyptians earn less than US$2 a day
-.-.-.-.-.

One of the problems that many commentators seem to have is untangling
finance from the more fundamental causes of problems.
For thousands of years the Nile valley produced food for the Egyptians
as well as Rome.

However their population early 20th century was about 30 to 40 million
and was supportable. However during the last 100 years the population
reached 80 million. Their food demand was greater than the Nile could
produce so the government imported food subsidising its cost by using
the money from oil exports.

Their production of oil peaked in 1990 at 1 million barrels a day.
It has declined by 40% to date and continues down.
The population in the meantime increased to 80 million.
The government no longer had the funds to subsidise the food price.
The economy does not provide enough income for the 80 million.

Some variation of this theme is what we are seeing elsewhere.
Population is increasing, energy production is decreasing.

Think of this next time you hear complaints of food prices.

the media grandstanding is amazing
the call for 'special laws' will be bringing on worse riots

here we have an egsample of overzealios policing
[police abusing their powers]..and killing a living human being

THEN spreading spin...saying he had a gun

then we find out its a coated POLICE issue round
found in the police radio the round was shot into it
..by a police service revolver

every protest has adgetraiters
there to make the protest look bad
or to give the media footage..that discredits the protest/protesters

its basic propaganda 101
uk police..police policy..[for proffit]
the state serves the corperations of state..[not the peons[people]

govt coruption..that isnt policed
petty crime gets you shot

huge public treason[fraud]tort..isnt policed
in fact rewarded with board positions..for a corperation well served

there is treason in govt/law/medicine
do nothings that serve outside adgenda

yes the people shopuld not riot..
but govt shouldnt be trying to sustain the vile
they make laws for persons..but kids KNOW..they arnt a 'person'

a person is an entity created by the state
thus a corperation is a 'person under the act'

a drivers licence
is a 'person under the transport act'

a birth certification
is a 'person under the births/marrages act]

note your census...[muster]
must be filled in by persons
in blue..indicating a sick person
or black indicating a dead corperate 'person'

i filled mine in as a living flesh and blood being[in red]
and by being a living freeman sovereign being...bond free
i fill out my detail in purple

my census looks quite colourfull
ps folks dont forget to write in all your persons
[persions are a trust[legally wards of a trustee]

im a sovereign trustee
and reserve the right to form a mob
and dont care about being called to census/musterd like chattle
