The German police took off their helmets and marched with the protest clearing the way for them.

The police coming over to serve and protect the people. Police are escorting, not participating...... and their humanity coming through...

The protest group calling itself Blockupy has called for blocking the access to the European Central Bank, which is located in Frankfurt's business district. Reports of an estimated 20,000+ protesters. Nice to see their faces....

German police officers escort an anti-capitalism protest march with some 20,000 people in Frankfurt, Germany, Saturday, May 19, 2012.

Protesters peacefully filled the city center of continental Europe's biggest financial hub in their protest against the dominance of banks and what they perceive to be untamed crony capitalism, Frankfurt police spokesman Ruediger Regis said.

Why is this in Grassroots? Ofcourse police will join an anti-capitalist movement. Who wants to bet that their superiors ordered them to perform this little skit?
 
wont ever happen in USA !
but on the other hand, they are protesting Capitalism ? Germany is also becoming socialist ?

How is protesting the central bank an anti-capitalist thing to do? Don't we do the exact same thing?
 
There's a difference between "marching with" and escorting. Did you even read the article or did you just copy this from Reddit.

Edit for emphasis since it seems like an important detail to be overlooked.

I admit I did not read the part where it said they were protesting the central bank but I did read the part where it said they were anti-capitalist... Which now leaves me confused.

They remind me of the OWS movement. They hate some of the right things, but they're mainly just confused.

Probably still less confused as the majority of the protestors. :)
 
This story sounds like a good thing to me.

I've always known that people don't believe what they try to convince you people believe, everyone believes, with their Main Stream Media. When people get together and have a heart to heart they find they are not alone and can see a whole new world of friends that have been there all along.

I think that is the important point of this story. When it comes to a show of hands or time to take a stand we could be pleasantly surprised.

I like to see the many groups that are rising up now. It does concern me that many seem to be misguided as to why they are having the problems and their proposed solutions. Well that is my personal opinion.

Many seem to think capitalism is their enemy. What I see as the enemy of all of us is the stealth, back-door, socialism that is being levied against all of us as a result of the way some can print up what ever amount of fiat money it takes to get their way.

When they double the money supply, doing things to get their way, here is a taste of what happens.

~No matter where you Aunt Martha hid the sugar jar with here savings in it, others are able to slither in like vampires in the night and suck the strength out of it. They also suck the strength out of the jar, the shelf it is on, the house it is in, and everything else at the same time. Everything!

Everything!

~Sure if the double the money supply your Uncle Phil gets twice as much when he sells his stocks but he is getting twice as many of something worth half as much. Plus some of the very people that counterfeited the money supply have now cut themselves in on his stuff with capital gains taxes.

~ No matter how much hard earned money the "we the people" can come up with to build their world the way they want, others have the ability to fire up the fake money presses and dictate their way.


It is a global problem.

Ron Paul
is the global solution. Not by force mind you. By example!

Large news worthy event are subject to public viewings.... but those articles links were often written by MSM who are bias to establishment manipulations,

Reality check:

Deposit a $100 in you account and not touch it by the year end..... most banks charges fees and taxes would eat it up leaving you almost nothing in return for them to have used your money on a daily basis....

Savings, Commercial and investment banking are now one and the same institutions of 'too big to fail' that are protected by governments (through commerce lobbyist)..... this means it affects individuals, small and medium businesses and small and medium investors (to become free for all corporate greed victims as the government will not protect them).... best example is thieving of money value via inflation, global financial failures and bailouts, international rulings oppose to local economy ruling.....

Large multinational trans-global corporations forcing food supply of local producers to be capped in order to create scarcity market - to push the food prices to go up and accept sub-standard produce, health hazard content or produce - for maintaining further profits; and into bankrupting local producers via anti-competitive and monopolies (example: forcing local private producers into selling their business to corporations, or some as care-taker farmers through corporate commerce loans, with all agricultural needs can only be bought from their corporate owned suppliers, the buy and sell of crops, the seeds, cattle and produce under the corporate price))..... consumers and producers are victims of global governance of commerce (like WTO, Nafta, UNEOC, etch) assited by the governments..... (such rulings as, organic produce to be illegal, fishing, self sustaining and hobby farms illegal, the competing with global producers with same products are illegal, and so forth)

Commerce lobbyist are now dictating the government (rather than consumer rights and demands) to enforce the greedy, unfair and criminal intent laws created for them by politicians..... this is crony corporations and government partnerships that excludes the general public....

You have to be a neo-crony corporate "gone wrong capitalist' supporter if you view the consensus (which is a collective public) as socialist (which is a politicize propaganda term to politically discredit or politically manipulate the collective public).

Large population countries and its management are a combination of collectivism, democracy and capitalism.... the levels and intensity depends on the applications....

Germans are the most individualistic people in Europe.

Serious brah? Last time I checked Hitler made an appearance in that country. And even after that grand showdown they are still full blown socialists.
 
HAH! This story reveals the intellectual disconnect of many on this forum. The struggle of free people for the past 50 years has been against the central bankers and their connected corporations. Distinctions like socialist and libertarian mean nothing! Right now we can't even begin to chose between socialist and libertarian philosophies because the international corporations control the policy, and they get to chose whether we have more regulation or less regulation, more taxes or less taxes, etc.

We have to unite against the globalist control of government before we can focus seriously on things like welfare and social security. Just look at Dr. Paul's endorsement of the third parties four years ago. The main issues on the platform were: the Fed, the Wars, civil liberties, and the war on drugs. All those issues are things libertarians and socialists can agree on.

We have to unite as one before we split to focus on domestic policy.

STOP BEING SO FUCKING COLLECTIVIST!
 
Whatever label folks choose to put on it or whatever ulterior motives there may be.....

The cops aren't kickin' the bejesus out of the protesters..

Baby steps......
 
They hate the European central bank because they think it inflates money for the corporations, and they want it to inflate money for the people.

The problem with them being anti-capitalist means that they're more susceptible to colllectvist, government control. They don't want to fix the actual problem, just rerout funds. Rothbard said it quite well in that... libertarians are to the left of communists and socialists because we want radical change through a new system, whereas communists want radical change within the same system.

We HAVE to unite againsts the globalists, but we can't, because these socialists are for a globalist anti-capitalist network. They want a global central bank that takes money from the rich everywhere and gives to the poor everywhere.

We need to either inform or outsmart the collectivists and unite on ideas we have common grounds on. But when THEY'RE protesting a central bank, they're not doing it for our reason and I don't want our message to be compromised or deluded by associating too much with socialists.
