Only the beginning




The recent marches around the world to protest government and bank corruption were just the beginning of something that must grow over time.
.
How it will manifest and express itself is not easy to see today.
.
That it will do so is inevitable.
.
People whose lives have been ruined by governments, special interest groups and bankers.
.

As one such, Nicla Crippa, 49, said: 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.
.
They caused this international crisis and are still profiting from it.
.
They should pay for it.
.
The protest along with those of the so called Arab Spring are indications of a wider part of humanity waking to demand justice.
.
Venting anger over years of economic and financial crisis since a global credit boom went bust in 2007.
.
Tens of thousands, nicknamed “the indignant”, marched in major cities across Europe.
.
As protests that began in New York linked up with long-running demonstrations against unpopular government cost-cutting and failed financial policies in Europe.
.
Notice how certain items get news time and others are ignored.
.
Notice how few politicians ''get it''
.
Notice how politicians are still talking about growth.
.
About fixing the economy.
.
About bailing out the banks.
.
Are they on a different planet?
.
The world economic model is broken.
.
The model of positive interest and endless growth is over.
.
But because of the special interest groups and the bankers this scenario will play and play.
.
Governments continuing to lie.
.
Bankers continuing to grasp.
.
The longer they ignore the increasing anger of people around the world the harder the violence to come.
.
When and how we cannot see today however come it must.
.
Why must it come?
.
When I have nothing to lose.
.
When I have no hope.
.
When I have no food or clean water.
.
When I see those who have so much.
.
This lights a fuse.
.
The fuse was lit last year.
