To Protet and Preserve the 1%

Nearly 75 million young people around the world are without jobs, an increase of more than four million since 2007, the International Labour Organization reports.

 Source: CBChttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/05/22/youth-unemployment-global-ilo.html

This problem of unemployment is put into sharp focus by the dilemma faced by students who are faced with tuition fee increases and diminished means of paying them, though they must go to the institutions for accreditation.


Essentially when the social contract is broken, the people must revolt. And so, the students are rising up and revolting.

Its not complicated: but this will not end well.

The security forces, meaning the police, hired and mandated to protect "the system" will use rubber bullets, gas, water hoses, dogs and guns to "keep the peace" but this peace is an illusion. The government is "the people" and when the government fails to represent the people, they will be usurped.
