'The international bankster machine seeking to colonize Western nations through debt is now meeting resistance from Greece, to France, to Ireland, to Italy, to Spain, to Portugal, and to the U.K.
These new protests in Ireland and Italy follow a crippling 2-week strike in France where citizens took over fuel refineries and other vital infrastructure, more strikes in Greece which took over the Acropolis, and a massive student protest in the UK that caused physical damage to government buildings. All of these protests were sparked by governments reducing benefits or increasing fees and taxes on a population that had little to do with the private gambling of banks.
These European protests are intensifying as the international bankers move to collect their "pound of flesh" through austerity and sale of public assets. As Europeans are becoming acutely aware of the dubious plan to loot them and the anger at their corrupt elected officials for bowing to banks has reached a boiling point. In all cases the governments are enforcing austerity measures on the people after the private banks over-leveraged themselves to the breaking point, threatening to bring down entire nations.'

'The government was forced into cutting the minimum wage by the European Commission, according to the leader of the Green Party . The rate is to be cut by one euro an hour under the four year €15bn austerity plan published by the government on Wednesday. John Gormley said the cut to €7.65 an hour was one of the conditions set down by economics commissioner Olli Rehn.
Criticising Fine Gael's vow to reverse the cut, Mr Gormley told the Dáil that the pledge was "completely nonsensical because this was the first demand of Olli Rehn and others that this had to be in the plan".'
