'Arab Spring' Coming To The West?

An extremely loud warning, deafening and unbelievably close by

Enough is enough protests in Yakooza Hollywood after the George Floyd murder—Scenes like this are coming again soon. What our governments are asking from us is in my opinion, grotesque and inhuman they are on course to crash Western Democracy. Credit Wikipedia

The recent escalation of riots and protests against corrupt and weak governments around the world here in the West since 2020, is I believe a precursor to a Western-type version of the Arab Spring. 

I have already read stories of old people in the UK using their free bus passes and taking all-day bus rides last winter to stay warm! Or sitting for hours in the city library and cafes, huddled up next to the radiator? Thousands of sick and elderly will die this winter in the West, no, not from Covid or Monkeypox but from cold and hunger.   

According to the BBC, the increase is based on the price energy suppliers pay producers for electricity and gas. This has risen sharply because demand for gas increased as the Covid pandemic eased, and because the war in Ukraine has threatened supplies from Russia. (Wouldn't the demand for gas have decreased after the Covid pandemic eased, or am I missing something, I mean, I could be?)

We have seen what can happen when people have just had enough and can't take it anymore. This week for instance the people stormed the living quarters of the Sri Lankan President. Gotabaya Rajapaksa has confirmed he will resign after tens of thousands of protesters stormed the official residence. Sri Lanka is in a deep financial crisis and the crowds say they won't leave until he quits his post. A day later, Shinzo Abe, the Japanese nationalist was assassinated during a political speech in the Japanese city of Nara.

Riots are happening around the world since 2020 and they are going to get a hell of a lot worse—Strikes are being used here in Europe with workers already demanding pay to rise with the hike in inflation. They can't increase everyone's pay, so, as usual, it will be the poorer people, the uneducated, the old and sick who will be first to be hit—Shades of Covid-19, can you now see what's going on?

The mainstream media across the West tried to have us all believe peaceful protest was taking place in many of our cities across the globe in 2020 and 21, but this was not true. The people had reached a boiling point—The constant bombardment of conflicting facts, alternative truths, and downright lies have become the symbol of 2020/21 and they are going to ramp them up in the coming months. What we are about to witness in the West this winter will become a carbon copy of the Arabian Spring, which started when a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s.

The Arab Spring began in response to oppressive regimes and a low standard of living, starting with protests in Tunisia. From Tunisia, the protests then spread to five other countries: Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain, where either the ruler was deposed (Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Muammar Gaddafi, Hosni Mubarak, and Ali Abdullah Saleh) or major uprisings and social violence occurred, including riots, civil wars or insurgencies. Our so-called sophisticated leaders are now attempting the same strategy on us, but we won't take it either!

The West is going the same way and is heading for its own unprecedented"boogaloo" (civil war), "Western Spring." The American George Floyd murder sent seismic ripples all the way from California to London and Berlin to Sydney, causing the BLM, Antifa, and left-wing militants to rise up against police brutality, inequality, and racism. These movements brought the white Supremacists out of the rotten woodwork to lock horns and start bustin' heads. What's about to happen will make those riots look like a walk in the park, really.

If American and European politicians can't come together and find a proper way to help their people a new Western Civil War could erupt which will surely reverberate around the democratic world, especially if people can't feed their kids or keep them warm. And of course, domestic civil unrest will hand over even more clout and power to China, Russia Turkey, and Iran.

Update!

Hungary’s government has declared an “energy emergency” in response to supply disruptions and skyrocketing energy prices in Europe, an official said Wednesday. There is “unlikely to be enough gas in Europe for the autumn and winter heating season,” said Gergely Gulyás, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s chief of staff. 

Gulyás cited Russia’s war in Ukraine and consequent sanctions from the European Union as the cause of what he called an “energy crisis” on the continent.“The prolonged war and the sanctions from Brussels have caused energy prices to rise dramatically across Europe, and in fact, a major part of Europe is already in an energy crisis,” Gulyás said. Hungary is heavily dependent on fossil fuels from Russia, and last year signed a 15-year agreement with Russian energy company Gazprom for the purchase of natural gas. Hungary gets around 65% of its oil and 85% of its gas from Russia. 

Leaks have forced a stoppage at a Norwegian gas platform in the North Sea, Reuters reports. A Norwegian gas platform and the transportation hub Sleipner Riser at the same field were shut down on Tuesday after separate gas leaks occurred, operator Equinor said. The company indicated it was unclear when operations would resume. "A gas leak at the Sleipner A [platform] occurred yesterday morning," an Equinor spokesperson stated, adding "No person was injured and production was shut. When we tried to restart, a new gas leak occurred, late Monday night. "Sleipner Riser is a key hub for the transport of North Sea gas to Britain and Belgium.

The repairs are expected to take 10 days. Norway is Europe's second-largest gas supplier and currently meets around 25% of gas demand on the continent, according to S&P global. Its role has come into sharper focus since Russia moved to reduce gas deliveries to Europe. This month, the Norwegian government ended a strike by the country's offshore oil and gas workers, who had been demanding wage increases to compensate for rising inflation. The strike, which resulted in the closure of three fields, threatened to exacerbate Europe's energy crisis.
