"If you're going through hell..."

In the wise words of Churchill that was spoken in what is now only a fact of life, or philosophically that Paramendies once said that if words are spoken, they must mean something. Therefore, what is 'hell' if it is a word that is spoken by those who suffer? Is it those that just simply face eternal damnation, or is it quite simply that whatever struggles is born, the reward of greater dividends from that hat was suffered.

The crisis of WWII lasted for just under six years. The crisis which people must bear grievances against what challenges life and humanity itself throw at them...there can indeed be no solution. What can, and may be solved, is only equated with more strife which then can only be balanced with what peace there is in the world (yet again another philosophy I won't bore you with).

It is perhaps because of some of the extradionary lengths which protests have taken only very recently against some very familiar occupations in the world.

Now, as you may notice I have added some moments in our modern history, despite their lasting impact, on how the progression of protest itself has shifted over the many years. How strange it is that people are entirely impressionable to worldwide events in order that they take action. In the French protests in 1968, Charles De Gaulle was seen as 'conservative' and "religious" that the once venerated leader of France who stormed into the BBC in 1940 and told that French resistance will never be 'extinguished' had turned against him and his leadership. What he started continued, but ironically, the youth of France turned their backs on their spearhead. In an unprecedented move, such as those in France in 1968 and potentially that of the '99% vs the 1%' currently, have led to monumental changes of liberation and perhaps a better democracy for everybody. Brian Haw, centre photo, is perhaps the moral conscience of these movements then and now. The longevity of his struggle of war is only matched by the sudden explosion of resentment of dictatorships, of greed etc. that have led to the explosion of resentment demonstrated by the creativity of the rumba in Santander to the Haw-esque pitching outside St. Paul's in London and Wall Street in New York. It is sad, though I have no liking for this newspaper anyway, that from my previous posts of journalism primarily serving those with no voice, take means to provoke only more arguments between the left and the right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZTiBqJEOMI.

In contrast to this, I do not regard the movement in St. Paul's as fully respectable as that of Brian Haw's or even the resentment of the Spanish against their financial systems. The arguments of religious fanaticism and capitalist bashing motivations are not a lot to be desired. I will state this now: communsim is not the solution. It does NOT work. But I'll leave you to look at history to find the rest of that answer. It is a right, a wonderful right, that much of the Western world uses free speech and the right to protest to exercise their democratic right. It is inspiring to see that maybe those most greedy, like good old Santander, will have thorns in their sides with no feasible solution they force to stop the people. In the words of Bruce Forsyth: "Keep dancing!"

Finally, I leave it at the fact that despite my precise political leanings, the inspirational and versatility of the art of protest is invigorated in what is a largely bleak and difficult world. These words of the French protesters over four decades ago now I leave you with as they out to generations ahead today:

We will beg for nothing. We will ask for nothing. We will take, we will occupy.

With special thanks to Claudia Scaringella for showing me these amazing movements in the world, without which this post would not have been written.
