[BRUSSELS] building a bridge with the people
How to get connected with the people, to demostrate empathy and an understanding of the real concerns of particularly the younger generations, how to build that bridge between government and their elite backers and, well everyone else who's not part of the one percent? Well here follows at least one person's demoncratic attempt to build this needed neo liberal bridge. Enjoy. ** German President Joachim Gauck says “elites are not the problem, people are the problem”. Gets booed and spit on (http://theduran.com/german-president-joachim-gauck-says-elites-not-problem-p...) ------------------------------------------------------------ By Alex Christoforou on Aug 14, 2016 03:29 pm Germany Sochi Boycott It is an unbelievable statement, but also a very revealing statement that shows just how arrogant and untouchable the Brussels elite ruling class believe they have become. In much the same fashion as teflon Hillary Clinton in the United States, the German political class is also under the impression that they are the chosen rulers of a peasant population that simply does not appreciate their benevolence and kindness to the sheeple masses. In a recent TV interview, German President Joachim Gauck said… “The elites are not the problem, the people are the problem.” IFRAME: [1]http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gd5TPWXgOFQ Germans did not take kindly to the President’s statements, and let him have it with boos and spit. The anger that is building up all over the western world towards the global elites is breath taking. It is only a matter of time anger spills over into blood and revolution. Zerohedge reports (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-13/german-president-booed-attacked-aft...) … Official German State TV and State Radio reported that “a handful of right wing extremists” have attacked the president and disturbed the otherwise peaceful and welcoming reception of the President. This is simply not the case, as seen in the video… The people repeatedly shouted “Traitor!”, “Get out!”, “We don’t want STASI Pigs” and “We are the people!”. One man, carrying his young son on his shoulders, appears to have spit on him whilst exclaiming insults. Other citizens were heard saying “You killed our children” and “What have you done to us?”. They were blocked by police in riot gear, to whom they said “You are protecting warmongers, shame on you!” The situation escalated and the riot police was forced to use pepper spray. Heiko Maas, the German Justice Minister, called the attackers “cowards who insult the president because of their personal frustration”. He himself was booed off the stage as a traitor by hundreds of Germans at the annual Labor Day celebration on the 1st of May. He said that they will be persecuted immediately, as “it cannot be allowed that such a tiny minority has influence on the political climate in Germany”. Germany, the stalwart of the EU, is a social mess. Financially, Deutsche Bank is a house of cards. Europe be warned, the “tiny minority” is sending a message which the political class chooses to simply ignore. Via: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-13/german-president-booed-attacked-aft...
