People in Ireland are justifiably angry at the scandalous Banking + Property Development Bailouts and mismanagement of the country's finances and resources as can be seen here in the first 'Enough is Enough' public rally of a new Right to Work Campaign by a diverse coalition of community groups and activists. There were inspiring speeches by workers, journalists, professors, community leaders, parents, young and old, and an intense face-off between gardai and protestors at the Gates of Dáil Éireann on Kildare Street.

Fianna Fail is done and will be lucky to walk out of the next election as Ireland's #2 party. The Green Party will bleed votes to Sinn Fein, Labour, and various far-left outfits as punishment for supporting the current government.

Fine Gael had better wake up and realise it if they hope to remain the prime beneficiary of the current government's pending colla[se.

Greece, Ireland, and in the US soon, I hope.

We're going to cross a threshold of suffering beyond which the working class upon whose backs the entire system rests will no longer be distracted or deterred by entertainment and increasingly authoritarian government.

Workers ultimately control both production and consumption. Even in a country where creating wealth by actually producing something is becoming extinct, consumption was still 70% of the GDP before the crash. This is where the power rests.

If the change that is coming is violent, it will be the violence on the part of government enforcing court orders to return to work and police orders to disperse. Workers don't need violence--we are many, they are few, and bosses have no power when the workers stop listening to them.

I hope it comes to fruition soon. We need to "wake-up a neighbor" with a goal of at least one million, to non-violently protest Corporatism and the increasing insignificance of the majority's voice (plight). One million is a small portion of the 80% of Americans who own 3% of the wealth. One million would make them take notice though.

I've been encouraging every "non-skilled" worker with whom a have a conversation to consider joining the Wobblies (International Workers of the World).

There really is a global peasant class.

The United States economy could collapse this summer.. unless something is done to control the Hedge Funds and their Credit Default Swaps.

The Hedge Funds will go after the States of California and New York First.. then they will go after School Ditricts and Municipal Bonds.


Thanks to Bernie Sanders,(an Independant), we are going to get an audit of the Fed. Other than that.. I dont see Mr. Obama standing up to Wall Street.
