Bitter Fruit

Paris Unrest to spread around the world, promises French Unions. Hundreds of thousands of angry and fearful French workers mounted nationwide strikes and protests Thursday to demand President Nicolas Sarkozy do far more to fight the economic crisis.

Public and private sector workers united in the protest to seek increases in salaries, greater protection for their jobs and more intensive government efforts to simulate the economy. Source

As I mentioned in an earlier blog "Anarchy coming soon to a town near you?"  and in "Anarchy Reprise"   there is much afoot.

Since then there have been riots and unreast in Latvia, Bulgaria and Iceland. Iceland?  Iceland for pete's sake? Really, what's the world coming to?

Now from the Davos  ,

Guy Ryder, the general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), said that the current financial turmoil had triggered a social timebomb that would lead to deepening civil unrest and soaring crime.

...

Mr Ryder, speaking as strikes involving hundreds of thousands of workers erupted across France and Germany, told The Times: "We are on the road to serious social instability, which could be extremely dangerous in some countries to democracy itself." Source

Discounting that most at Davos are anti-capitalist, anti free-market, it should be noted that the assault on private property continues and free enterprise and America is particularly to blame for the current world economic crisis.

Granted America style capitalism was NOT indented to operate in a vacuum without a "moral governor" as guided by our national motto "In God We Trust"  ; but make no mistake about it, it is neither America's fault we are here nor is the failure of the free-market. Instead, it is the absence of free-market the absence of our values that brings us to this point.

It is plainly obvious, that many around the world represented at Davos do NOT believe that "You Own You" , or at least the result of your own labors. Instead, they believe they are entitled to you and will use any means necessary to claw at it until they succeed.  Fomenting, riots, unrest and conflict everywhere they go.

What happens to you, your family, our beloved republic if anarchists are successful in spreading the pandemic of misery, faithlessness, class envy and the world view that "they are entitled to what is yours"?
