No coverage of any of these European Demonstrations on any American News Networks....none, nada, zilch. The MSM Press are nothing but propaganda shills pushing agendas, mere presenters of information they are given to present by the Elite controllers of the planet.

Corvustheone is nothing but a shill agitator, check out his profile, obvious shill. Ignore him.

Revolution? What Revolution? All I see is more and more people around the Globe unemployed and/or underemployed with lower and lower standards of living. The big Revolution...99% to be poor with little...while the 1% OWN IT ALL! Yes Global Marxism...what a wonderful Utopia!

Harvard is one of the most despicable institutions on the planet. As Gerald Celente says.....Princeton, Harvard, and Yale, Bombs, Bullets, and Banks, yep pretty much sums up the priorities of the the Elitist institutions.

in your next demonstrations please include banners with the disgusting face of our former PM papandreou, who was the ephialtis (nightmare) (traitor) of Greece and the EU, as he opened the door for the IMF. now that person who was responsible for setting the wheel in motion for gutting all the middle class in greece is teaching at Harvard in the US about how to solve the euro crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are living in the twilight zone and heading for a new feudal era.....

[rocco flavioni]

just a question. why are there so few views on youtube videos when protests happen in spain, portugal etc, while the respective protests in greece attract 100s of thousands of views. just wondering...
