Global Economic Class War: Greeks rioting, armed with guns, Greek government close to default

September 10, tens of thousands of Greek protestors turned violent when they confronted Prime Minister George Papandreou at the Thessaloniki Trade Fair.

Greek police say the protestors are armed with sticks, stones and guns.  Six thousand police are guarding the Greek city of Thessaloniki.

There have been several reports out of Europe that say Greece has no choice but to default on its debts, this is because the latest bailout loan is still awaiting final approval.  If Greece doesn’t get the loan within days it will default.

World War 3: Egyptian military rejects interim government’s resignation, thousands of Egyptians wounded, Israel says it will honor peace treaty

Egypt’s Supreme Council of Armed Forces has rejected the resignations of the interim government officials.  The officials offered their resignations after Egyptians took over the Israeli embassy.

At least 1,000 Egyptians were wounded in clashes with Egyptian security forces after the embassy takeover.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will adhere to its peace treaty with Egypt.  This is because the pro-U.S. military government of Egypt managed to take back the Israeli embassy from the people of Egypt.

International, Opinion, U.S.

Is the price of human suffering really worth the War on Terror vengance for 9/11? Especially when the U.S. is killing the wrong people!!!

Fact: Not one Afghan or Iraqi was involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, yet the people of Afghanistan and Iraq have been the bloody whipping boys/girls for the blood lust vengeance seeking people of the U.S.

Fact: The accused 9/11 attackers came from Saudi Arabia (15), United Arab Emirates (2), Egypt (1) and Lebanon (1).

How many people died on 9/11? 2,977, not counting the alleged attackers.  2,669 were U.S. citizens, 372 were foreigners.

How many U.S./coalition forces have died in the vengeance seeking War on Terror in Afghanistan? 4,390 total.  1,762 U.S. deaths in combat.  948 Coalition deaths.  1,680 U.S. deaths relating to Afghan operations, or died after being wounded.  No numbers for allied Afghan government forces.  (note that the Department of Defense recently revised upward the number of U.S. combat deaths in August 2011)

How many Afghans have died? There is little or no record keeping of civilian deaths by the Afghan government, but human rights groups, and some media organizations say at least 23,000 Afghan civilians have been killed, so far.

The United Nations says for the first six months of 2011, 1,464 civilians were killed.

Don’t forget, not a single Afghan was involved with the 9/11 attacks (some Pakistan media sources say Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan the whole time)!

How many U.S./coalition forces/civilians have died in the vengeance seeking War on Terror in Iraq? 6,627 total.  3,529 U.S. combat deaths.  318 Coalition deaths.  945 U.S. deaths relating to Iraqi operations.  1,487 U.S. contractors.  348 Journalists.

How many Iraqis have died? The number of Iraqis killed varies from several hundreds of thousands to more than one million four hundred thousand!!!

Don’t forget Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 (as claimed by the war criminal Bush jr administration)!!!  Nor did Iraq have any weapons of mass destruction (as claimed by the war criminal Bush jr administration)!!!  Nor did Iraqi officials have any connection to al Qaeda (as claimed by the war criminal Bush jr administration)!!!

So lets compare the number of people killed on 9/11, versus the number of people killed in the vengeance War on Terror. 

September 11, 2001: 2,977.

Ongoing War on Terror: 1,489,607!!!

I’m just talking about the number of people killed.  The number of people wounded, and permanently disabled is far, far higher!   Just from the operations in Iraq the number of U.S. wounded is more than 100,000!!!

The numbers suggest that the War on Terror is anything but that.  It shows that it is actually a War of Terror.  The numbers suggests that the United States is pure evil!
