What Sparked Tunisian Revolution?

[fightbacktunisia]

the prime minster of Tunisia today or whatever you call him is a dickhead. he told people they are not the same as him, true they are better than him, there is more fighting all over the country because of him and my father is Tunisian so i fought for me, my rights and other peoples rights before and now again if i have too.

[yousra67]

@fightbacktunisia 

[yousra67]

@fightbacktunisia u are so write i have been to a march in london for tunisia to be free

[Feuerbach92]

Great Tunisia this is your revolution!!! You have displaced Ben Ali and a lot of other members of the former government.

But Tunisia now its time to elect a new government and make a new constitution based on demogratic order and people freedom rights

You have got a lot of very good educated and competent people this people have to take the leadership and form a new and better Tunisia. All tunisian people are need to build up this society and if you want we able to help you.

Greets from Germany

[gigi1bokus]

This was very consice and informative, i liked it and i hope everything is correct and true.

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

I did not say and would never say the Tunisian People or Arab people are backwards ! THE GOVERMENT is backwards that is why the Arab world has lost its place in the front of Civilization and development. Greedy ,Barbaric leaders imposed on the population by foreign powers. Any real educated progressive government of the people by the people for the people was collapsed by western and zionist intelligence. This is not a big secret anymore just read the declassified files. it was planned.

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

One example : Around 1999 when The dictator King Hussein of the Hashimite was about to pass away the seat of succession was changed to allow The current dictator King Abdullah to take Control of What is left of TransJordan. This decision was totally decided in London & washington and Tel Aviv in their interests .The Hashimite family has run Transjordan into the ground and even lost control of the water resources and now is totally dependent on America and British hand outs!

[nissrenshredi]

They can revolt as much as they can, I am not going to revolt to serve other people's evil plans. SORRY!!

[nissrenshredi]

Look at the TIME of the revolutions, right BEFORE the war between Iran and the rest of the world.

[nissrenshredi]

I am sure 100% that behind this revolution is Iran who wants to delay the war to complete its own nuclear programme.We are not stupid to fall into Iran evil plans

[AmxCsifier]

@nissrenshredi you should be 0% sure.

I'm Tunisian and we are puppets of NO ONE.

check what started it: Iran made a Tunisian guys set fire on himself ? that's funny

i wonder if there are more as brainwashed as you.

[azar315537]

@AmxCsifier

you are puppets to no one!!

except ofcourse for the white people who use you as a cheap holiday retreat

[AmxCsifier]

@azar315537 lol you have really no idea ;) the cheap policy my gov follows is one of the aspects of corruption.

and it's gonna be ended soon enough.

PS: i make websites and software for European clients and i ain't no freaking cheap ;)

i told you u'r brainwashed. you live on stereotypes and misconceptions. -_-

my nephew sold one of my granpa's boots to a tourist with the price of hannibal's ;-) haha

[azar315537]

@AmxCsifier

yes i know, im very proud of tunisia. tunisia will have a special place in the arab world for now on

[AmarMadrid]

@nissrenshredi

god, you're really stupid ..

[anser100]

its time all the other dictators shows some respect like this guy did!

[deadadelta]

Poor Planners in EGYPT

We Borrowed 3.8 Billion From owners of FEDERAL RESERVE see Film "FIAT EMPIRE" and paid it to Haliburton to build 825 FEMA PRISONs see Video Section at RestoreTheRepublic

We can Implement Rex-84 or Operation Garden Plot

We can Increase the FLUORIDE in the Water, it will Calm People down MORE, Film Professional Perspectives at wwwFluorideActionnet, HITLER added High Dose to water at Camps, keep People like Walking DEAD, see "FLUORIDE THE DEVILS POISON, Price Paid 41%CAnCER

[Lexman00]

I'm guessing that France and the US forgot to tell the Tunisian dictator to have a soft authoritarian state and not a police state so that the criminal regime could last longer. One mistake they'll surely learn from.

[SSWOLFENSTEINSS]

Tunisa is a ligth of hope for North Africa and Arab Middle East ! Arab People in Jordan and Saudi should take notes and remove the backward regimes. 21st century slogon is Death to the Dictators and Death to the World Bank and world Banksters.

[AmxCsifier]

@SSWOLFENSTEINSS our Tunisian regime is not backward. it's just corrupt. forget the stereotypes please

[tsarfiga]

Proud to be tunisian!

[AmxCsifier]

@tsarfiga me too ^^

[Botie2]

The real difference is the internet/technology has given power back to the people.

[AmxCsifier]

@Botie2 some 30% of the Tunisian people are connected to Facebook at the same time ;)

[fonzdaii]

Key factor to the success of the revolution in Tunisia: THE INTERNET, mainly facebook, and the help of ANONYMOUS who kept proxies open while censorship was in full swing.

[underthebox]

This video is highly informative. 

[restlys]

"to serve and protect"

....the elites first..

the people second.

[iamundergrace]

I want to shake the hands of that General! what an honorable man!

[jonnyethco]

It's amazing what people can accomplish when they get pissed off.

[guitardds]

Hmmm. Arrested for selling fruits and vegetables at a local stand. Of course that would never happen in America, cough, cough, Food Safety BIll s510, cougjh, cough. No never.

[himhamtt]

@guitardds America has its fair share of problems as well buddy, don't belittle the tunisians, what theyve accomplished is a landmark for human rights.

[u01evz6]

United States are sooo full of bullshit. It is unbelievable.

[RedGaribaldi]

Watch out for the counter-revolution.

[jacobmarley2891]

@RedGaribaldi yes indeed but in which country ??? , be interesting .... good point made. where there is one it will happen again very soon ..watch this space

[loaf1767]

all governments are oppressive im not aware of any that are not

[blackiron60]

One day even the Saudi Arabian monarchy will fall and the royal palace in Riyadh will burn.

[300ZXturboXX]

@blackiron60 never have you spend 10 mins witha saudi.. they are all rich

[doc7474]

I would think this is an interesting/inspiring story to all people under an oppressive government.

[stupidnatalia123]

thank you for the news.

[vrd180]

A dictatorship vs. a "democracy"- in both the citizens have no participation or control. one is just more honest about it.

[navtel]

another piece of shit american friendly dictator flees for his life.. i can't wait for some of these similar politicians in america to start fleeing for theirs.

[DavidAKZ]

Exiled opposition leader returns to Tunisa

[MustacheVerra]

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

This may look good at first but it is also very dangerous because it plays right into the neocons/Zionist(Israel) hands. As more instability in that region ensue, the US/Zionist media will spin this as a national security threat. Then all they'll need is an incident and they will finally have their clash of civilization. And millions of Muslims & Arabs will die.

You need to be smarter than this people. Think instead of reacting PLEASE!

[MustacheVerra]

@MustacheVerra I'm willing to bet Israeli agents were somehow "helping" this. This is what i feared most.

Millions of lives are at steak dammit!

[Thiemann79]

Thanks Paul, that was a really well structured piece of information again!

[wastelandsoldier1]

You cant be a president for twenty three years.Closet monarchys need to go.People are tired of the slave masters.Moa was supported by america.lol Just because the west supports someone.Dosent mean sh8t.

[seancarletonzero]

@LuxAuterna I like Nader myself. At least he didn't create Rand Paul.

[seancarletonzero]

Great coverage. Hopefully Egypt is next.

[schmuddelfinger]

world is changin.. but still, its not looking like real change.

[kurydebarcelona]

from Argentina I send my greetings and salutations to the people of Tunisia

freedom!

[solimiansky]

why the american media is not covering this??? Not even one mention of this historic revolution!!

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

@solimiansky because they are revolting against an "ally" government who was implementing "Washington Consensus" policies no doubt.

[TheChilly77]

The proof of corruption in western politics is highlited by our media's refering to this as PROTESTS. They don't even want us to hear of successful revolution.

[yo1dude1man]

President in power for 23 years?

Translation: Dictator!

[mispistoleros]

the iranian green movement was billed as "the twitter revolution" and twitter's role got heavy press coverage in the west. this tunisian revolt was also a "twitter revolution" but barely a "tweet" was heard in the MSM. why? it would appear iran's green movement, which was grassroots in origin, was infiltrated and hijacked by western (cia/mossad) intel. the tunisian revolt was also grassroots but without western intel interference, which was caught off guard.

[Marko3801]

@mispistoleros its a shame that people like u have been so brainwashed that you cant see that when people rise up against pro western dictaotrs like ben ali its there own will

ben ali was american puppet DUMBASS

[mispistoleros]

@Marko3801, i don't know which comment i made that you're replying to, this new utube sucks", but can only guess that you misconstrued what i said. i've never defended any dictator but also distinguish between a genuine uprising and a western-engineered fomentation.

[Marko3801]

@mispistoleros ah misconducted wat u said

thought you were just another "arab spring mossad/cia/kgb plot" idiot i keep finding on any arab spring vid these days.

[mispistoleros]

@Marko3801, The arab spring rebellions vary from nation to nation. The Iranian Greens, Syria Free Army and Bengazi rebels were organic but were infiltrated and hijacked by Mossad / CIA / MI6. The Egyptians, to date, have resisted infiltration

[Marko3801]

@mispistoleros maybe ur right

all i can hope for is that the arabs can remove their regimes and keep independence from the people who opressed them.

[mispistoleros]

@Marko3801, It's right because it's logical and supported by eye-witness accounts. For example, the "Neda" incident, that went viral on youtube during the 2010 Iran Green movement was faked, "Nada". There's footage of her "blood" make-up being re-touched while she chats with the others around her. Rumor has it she was "silenced" afterwards.

The majority of Muslims aren't "Arabs" by blood; it's a grafted-on cultural veneer, not unlike the "Catholic" Mayan hybrid of religious ritual.

[mispistoleros]

Me, too, i hope the aspirations of the people to be free from those who oppress them are realized. It's going to be tough going in that the regimes they seek to depose were mostly put on their thrones by Washington, London and Paris and are still allied with the Washington - London - Tel Aviv axis.

[MrMemag]

Dispatch more Swedish agents.

[huskerbird1]

We can only hope, copycat burners have appeared in Algeria, Morroco, Egypt, And Mohmar Khaddafi has gone on national T.V. telling his folks they dont want to go down this path. He's scared to death, Also, the main Tunisian paper, this morning announced that the people at tthe top here have been fired also. So the media spion oughta be interesting. Go Tunisians, wish we were that brave. BUT WE ARE SHEEP.

[DackIsBack]

01:50 What's this?

A POLICE OFFICER DRESSED AS A PROTESTOR?

Who'd have guessed?

[kurydebarcelona]

@DackIsBack yeah, thats a new one huh! LOL

[cheddyrod]

@DackIsBack :P

[insulatedmemory]

thats a great military leader resigns because he refuses to use force against the people he swore to protect. our generals would never do that.

[azar315537]

@insulatedmemory

I really hope you're not talking about ben ali.

because if you are, then that's one of the stupidest things ive ever heard

[insulatedmemory]

@azar315537 no there army chief of staff. resigned because he was unwilling to use his soldiers for violence against the demonstrators. watch the whole video before you comment

[hamidious]

Unfortunately, it will be harder to do this in the main Arab countries, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria and Saudi Arabia, it is going to take more bloodshed and even if successful..the US would probably invade, especially in the case of Saudi Arabia.

[MustacheVerra]

@hamidious And that is exactly what the Zionist/neocons want! Please reed my last post. Everything is going according to plan. It's the clash of civilization we were warned about that is unfolding before our eyes. Millions of lives are at stake!

At least it's good to see someone thinking around here. ;)

[LazarusCato]

@MustacheVerra this revolution was not race or religion based, all this clash of civilisation stuff is mostly bullshit - our understanding makes it what it is, is the war in afghanistan a "clash of civilizations" or is it a western war of imperialism to gain control of the $4-trillion worth of Lithium in the ground? Don't be so shallow about things.

[MustacheVerra]

@LazarusCato Well of course the war in Afganistan is about the resources dah!

BTW, i could be wrong here. It could be that this is the work of Brzezinski as i just heard W. Tarpley mention this. But i don't really believe it. Either way it's not looking good for Arabs and Mulims

[LazarusCato]

@MustacheVerra which again, has little to do with them being arab and muslim, but has to do with the massive resources in their countries. The only ones we (the west) want to go after are the ones who wont open their country to our explotation and neoliberalist economics policies.

[MustacheVerra]

@LazarusCato Yes but that's one angle. The Israeli look at it from an other angle. Of course they take resources into account and i believe they know how to play on it. In fact, the Israeli are at the leading edge of game theory so they are always ready to react to what ever crisis is unfolding before others. For them to detribalize this region means = more US troops coming to attacks Israel's enemies. Once Pakistan, Iran, Syria & Lebanon are gone, the Palestinians will have no more support etc.

[Sabohaque]

Right on, Tunisia. Hopefully they will succeed in stamping out corruption.

[thekswervedirt]

The People of Tunisia are a beacon of hope for oppressed peoples across the globe, their successful revolt is a harbinger of things to come.

[angelicsoulz]

The US supporting dictators? No way!!! I thought we only supported freedom & democracy?!?!

[Reqrezentin]

In short.. a burning man.

[usergently]

A world wide clean-up of corrupt leaders is on the way!

[2551bali]

@usergently ... BEN ALI run away to Saudi Arabia ! does that say something about this country ?

If I remember that Uganda dictator also did the same. Now that the YOUTH have awakened ....

more interesting things might happen he ? Watch out all dictators ... sorry RULERS !!
