the Spanish began the revolt several years before OWS emerged here. The French also, they went so far as to kidnap CEOs of Corporations and shut down the entire country. Canadian students also won a huge victory against the Corporate state just recently.

Turkey and Brazil are just the latest. And that is why Wall St and their puppets are so scared. They can't stop it. No sooner than they crack down in one place, it erupts somewhere else.

Maybe they should just stop cracking down, start arresting the perps who crashed the world's economies and the politicians who helped them, as Iceland did, and begin to rebuild all the countries which were destroyed by the Wall St. Criminals. Because they will have to get more and more brutal in order to try to stop the rising tide of revolt against their policies, across the globe. And the more brutal they become, the larger the revolt will be. They never learn from history so it continues to be repeated.
