400,000 Protesters in London
MSNBC claims "protesters have turned violent." The video shows nothing of the sort. I see a bunch of people with signs being pushed hard by a lot of police in yellow coats. No breaking glass, no fire, one sign tossed. Hmmmm.

2. And if there are that many people how can MSNBC justify saying "protesters" have turned violent?"
Which protesters? ALL of them? WTF?

3. So, if they do turn violent? A small percent do. The anger over
austerity programs demanded by the Bond Market is
bound to boil over at some point.

It is the Bond Market(Stock Mkt and Big Banks) pushing
the Austerity and they Banks have never been made
to share in the sacrifice.

4. Banks sacrifice?
They were quaking in their boots over what we would do to punish them and WE DIDN'T PUNISH THEM. They have gone insane with relief because they should have gone to jail.

5. To corporate media
their might be a desire to connect protesting with violence in people's minds. In effect, even if it is peaceful, opposition to the monoculture of corporatism is a threat to their system and the overall intents of Oligarchy.

This is it. Make no mistake where you are. This might be a good time to understand and identify with the new Underclass if you are Middle-class. How we are treated now reflects the resulting impact of corporatism on our society in general and you are most likely facing a downward spiral that will bring you closer to our growing plight, at some point.

It is getting down to the ultimate bottom-line for the people. You can stand alone and look upwards to the emerging Lords of our land, or you can gaze down and find solidarity with those who might be living warning signs about your own fate. We are all in this together, or we continue with the rugged individualism that helps to enable the crimson tide sweeping the world right now. This is an extremely pivotal time.

6. What I little I saw looked like a police action like they used in the
60s here. It only increases the violence as people try to defend themselves.

8. 450,000 peaceful demonstrators, a few hundred window-smashers
They weren't even in the same area. The window-smashers were invading expensive shops somewhere far away from the protest route. That's all it amounted to.

9. Just like the burning cop car at the G20 in Toronto - video (whole documentary)
Today's events in London reminded me of this
Two hour documentary:
