Turkey protests
The protesters in Turkey don't seem to be using the Occupy name, but they're just as incoherent as Occupy elsewhere. Some of them are unhappy with a new shopping center; some are unhappy with limits on alcohol; some are unhappy that their party lost the election. Trivial problems, as you'd expect from spoiled hippieshit brats.
They should be massively grateful to live in the MOST COMPETENT COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. Turkey has managed to grow its economy, grow average income, and shrink income inequality, without running any of the securitization or QE crimes that other rich countries are using. Finance is kept in its proper place and manufacturing dominates, which means that ordinary people benefit from growth.
Given the intense focus on these unfocused protests by outside media and outside governments, it's safe to assume that the protesters are driven by outside forces. And given the obvious connections between Occupy and the banksters elsewhere, I have to wonder if these demos are Goldman's attempt to bring down the only Euro government that refuses to serve Goldman.
