Hundreds of Thousands Protest Globally Over Weekend, Media Coverage Absent
On the weekend of October 10th, dozens of unrelated large protests sprinkled the globe as tensions continued to escalate in the Middle East. Despite hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets around the world, with over a quarter million in Germany alone, national media coverage has been (un)surprisingly quiet regarding these events.
Here are five of these global protests:
A “quarter million” people protested the TTIP and corporatocracy in Germany — with related protests in other European cities such as Amsterdam and London.
Estimated to be 250,000 strong, a protest in Berlin took place to oppose the TTIP “free trade deal” — a major move towards corporatocracy. Protests unfolded concurrently in London, Amsterdam, and other European cities.
“This is the biggest protest that this country [German] has seen for many, many years,” Christoph Bautz, of citizens’ movement Campact inspiringly told protesters in a speech.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
“As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”
"You think a wall as solid as the earth separates civilisation from barbarism. I tell you the division is a sheet of glass."
