Wall Street protests go global
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/10/15/uk-protests-idUKTRE79E11V20111015

Reuters) - Demonstrators worldwide shouted their rage on Saturday against bankers and politicians they accuse of ruining economies and condemning millions to hardship through greed and bad government.

Galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement, the protests began in New Zealand, rippled round the world to Europe and were expected to return to their starting point in New York.

Most rallies were however small and barely held up traffic. The biggest anticipated was in Rome, where organisers said they believed 100,000 would take part.

"At the global level, we can't carry on any more with public debt that wasn't created by us but by thieving governments, corrupt banks and speculators who don't give a damn about us," said Nicla Crippa, 49, who wore a T-shirt saying "enough" as she arrived at the Rome protest.

1. The protest in Rome is starting to look like Tahrir square.

3. The Fourth Turning is beginning to revolve right on schedule.
The theory is proving itself right in front of us.

If you don't know about it, it's book describing a sociological theory based on analysis of history.

It sees American history as a series of recurring 80- to 100-year cycles. Each cycle has four "turnings"-a High, an Awakening, an Unraveling, and a Crisis. The authors locate today's America as entering the next Crisis (or Fourth Turning).

" Just after the millennium, America will enter a new era that will culminate with a crisis comparable to the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II. The survival of the nation will almost certainly be at stake."

7. Astrologers have been predicting this for a long time
the Uranus/Pluto square which began in June of this year and will continue until 2015. The last time this happened was between 1932 and 1934.

If the astrologers are correct, this is just the beginning of a world-wide struggle against the plutocrats.

Exact dates:
Uranus square Pluto June 26 2012
Uranus square Pluto September 19 2012
Uranus square Pluto May 21 2013
Uranus square Pluto November 1 2013
Uranus square Pluto April 21 2014
Uranus square Pluto December 15 2014
Uranus square Pluto March 17 2015
