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"?

Russian warships bound for Cuba in new show of strength

Latin America summit excludes U.S. and welcomes Cuba

COSTA DO SAUIPE, Brazil (Reuters) - Latin American leaders on Tuesday blamed the global economic crisis on rich countries and welcomed Communist-run Cuba at a summit meeting designed to weaken U.S. influence in the region. Source2

And posse Comitatus?

A new report by the U.S. Army War College talks about the possibility of Pentagon resources and troops being used should the economic crisis lead to civil unrest, such as protests against businesses and government or runs on beleaguered banks.

"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," said the War College report.

The study says economic collapse, terrorism and loss of legal order are among possible domestic shocks that might require military action within the U.S. Source3

There will be wars and rumors of wars

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.  Mathew 24:4 - 13

Be ready!

So when I admonish  us to be ready - what do I mean? 

Since the beginning of time soothsayers, seers and prophets' even guessers have been foretelling the End of the World. And whether or not we are in the end times, we might be in for some 'tough sledding'.  

That's why it is vital that we all focus on what is really important -  our faith, our families  and our friends! All of life is about relationships (with God, with yourself and with others) and how you manage those relationships. It uncertain times, it is essential that you replenish your soul and nourish your friendships and as my friend Freddie sez; "Keep the main thing, the main thing!"

The apostle Paul wrote [writing is what they what they did before they blogged]

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."  KJV Philippians 4: 11 -12

And knowing "how to live in plenty AND in want" may be the great challenge for our post-modern generation.

Anarchy au deux

As thousands of protestors descend on Athens police headquarters, riot squads move to protect targeted State institutions from coordinated assaults on public buildings, state radio broadcast and actions to disrupt traffic and occupy schools.

 The protests mark court appearances of six of militants arrested following the police shooting of a Molotov cocktail throwing teenager earlier this month. Source1  

These clashes are no mere spontaneous upraising of disaffected youth, instead it appears to be an orchestrated attempt to bring down the conservative government of  Costas Karamanlis, all the while the Socialist opposition leader George Papandrou demands new elections!

With anarchy as the lever, left-wing activists are calling for more "rallies" as an attempt to show solidarity with the militants facing arrest.

The real question is:

Are the Greek riots a blueprint for coordinated actions in our own country? And are actions like the squatter sit-in at the Chitown window factory just the warm up act? Or, like the Chicago Haymarket Riots from 100 years before, just another salvo in the 'history of the class struggle"?

And just what does George Soros have to do with it anyway?

• By his own admission Soros helped finance the July 2000 riots in Peru source2
• Spent 25 mil in 2004  trying to affect American regime change by supporting Kerry's campaign source3

Time magazine has characterized financier George Soros as a "modern-day Robin Hood," who robs from the rich to give to the poor countries of eastern Europe and Russia. It claimed that Soros makes huge financial gains by speculating against western central banks, in order to use his profits to help the emerging post-communist economies of eastern Europe and former Soviet Union, to assist them to create what he calls an "Open Society." Source4

George Soros is well on record with wishing to Burst the Bubble of American Supremacy source5 . He has the will and the means to finance much. And as Soros has said; "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States."

Dare I say it? There is much nefarious deed afoot. Be ready.

A half a world away, cities in Greece burn while our own friends, neighbors  and family  apparently - asleep at the switch - cast only a glancing eye toward elected officials rushing headlong to embrace National Socialism.

So, a fifteen year-old kid tosses a Molotov Cocktail, Greek Police, in self defense fire on the perpetrator, he is killed and Flash!  A spark ignites suppressed tensions?/! And cities in Greece go up like a tipped turkey fryer at Thanksgiving.
