Said Shanghai was quiet. Found these photos from uprising in Beijing via twitter: http://www.jordanpouille.com/2…
But my guess is that 2011 is shaping up to be a very interesting year, indeed. There are “perfect storm” style conditions evolving which include:
1. Middle East unrest – always unsettling as the “cradle of civilization” is now the “ladle of oil”. Any disuption in the supply of oil would severly hamper fragile economic recoveries.
2. The climate, especially drought (in China too) has been a factor causing global food prices to spike. When much of the world is hungy – We live in the world’s wealthiest nation. Yet 13 percent of people living in the United States live in poverty.
Nearly one in four children live in households that struggle to put food on the table. That’s 16.7 million children. – there will be riots.
3. $2 Trillion Debt Crisis Threatens to Bring Down US Cities. Overdrawn American cities could face financial collapse in 2011, defaulting on hundreds of billions of
dollars of borrowings and derailing the US economic recovery. (UK Guardian, 20 December 2010)
4. Militarily, its my opinion that we’re living a delusion, and there’s a new sherriff coming to town. After ten years, the vaunted US military is still mired
in Afghanistan, brought to a standstill by the ragtag, barefoot, lightly-armed Taliban. So inept and incompetent has its military become, that despite hundreds of
billions spent on “intelligence” and warfare, it can’t even achieve the first stated goal: bringing back Osama bin
Laden “Dead or Alive.” Still stuck in the Iraq quagmire, and now venturing into Pakistan, Yemen – and who knows where else -to win the “War on Terror,” the US will be in no position or condition to take on China. The new Chinese missile technologies tilts power in the Pacific, where the U.S. basically cried uncle in the Korean War.
5. Loss of a Free Press – the servile, docile, passive,compliant,submissive, meek, obedient, biddable, pliable prostitutes posing as “journalists” predictably suck up and bow down to their corporate and political masters. The effects of this situation does not bode well for democracy.
6. With no jobs, no money, no food, the stress of debt, there will be strained relations and short fuses. And the fuse is lit! What does this mean? Increasing crime. Now, wecan arrest 7-year olds for trying to sell lemonade (http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2010/08/northwest_news_girls_lemonade_stand_runs_afoul_of_portland_health_inspectors_anne_bremner_high-profi.html) but not one banker or wall street crook has been arrested in the great financial collapse crime that just ooccurred. My advice, don’t fuck with the police. This isn’t Mayberry RFD anymore. The militarization of the U.S. police is frightening, just when we learn that the government has the ability to assasinate U.S, citizens(http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/04/07/assassinations).

in no way disrespects the troops.
The problem is with the political Colonels and Generals, who, upon reaching that level, stopped serving the nation and started using their position and rank to serve themselves.
I guess I don’t spend as much time here as I used to. I was half-expecting a paragraph on how Zionist control of … (you name it) was also to blame. That must be the WaPo comments sections I was thinking of.

you only link to foreign (UK & Australian) or minor news outlets ?
Can’t you find the real news on the Big Five’s news sites ?
.
Maybe we’re too obsessed with Linday Lohan and American Idol?
A shame really.

International twitter was lit up, but by morning (their night) it was clear the government had been well-prepared to prevent any kind of gathering.
