This is from Charlie Veitch's, The Love Police forum:
Hi all!
I write you from Spain. I don't know what kind of information you're getting from the classic media (TV, newspapers), but here there's really happenning something! We demand more democracy, but not in a nationalistic way, but in a global way, so I think this concerns every country in the world, slaved by this corrupted economic system and it's awful bankers and politicians. This is a video of the protest that took place May the 15th.

After that, thousands have camped in the main squares of cities all over the country, every night. In the main square of Madrid (plaza del sol) there are every afternoon around 5.000 people.
The media is trying to focus this in just a consecuence of the crisis, but is a bigger thing, we're claiming for a better world, to put an end to this corrupted global system made for just a bunch of greedy politicians, bankers and speculators.
Rise! Maqde your own revolution!! I think the time has come! Spread the word!
Thanx!
This is very inspiring.
Every day on Democracy Now I see different protests and uprisings of a similar nature -- people taking to the streets to fight corruptive governments.
Remember when Democracy was hearalded as the best policy? Now, cleverly-disguised dictatorship seems to be the norm worldwide.
We the people have let this happen and only we can stop it.
I'm glad people are waking up.
I was thrilled to watch this video of these wonderful, smart, aware people! Bravo! Thank you Wendy. I wasn't aware of the protests happening at all..GO SPAIN!
Yes, there are several protests going on over Europe -also Ukraine, Turkey and Ireland.
Besides Democracy Now and www.wanttoknow.info, Corbett Report is my favorite alternative news source.
