Russians Flood the Streets to Protest Alleged Election FraudPosted on Dec 10, 2011
Thousands of Russian youths, newly politicized by what they see as a violation of human rights, stood with a crowd of up to 50,000 people in central Moscow’s Bolotnaya Square to challenge election results that keep Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party in power. The country’s election commission confirmed that United Russia won 49 percent of the vote. Protests took place in more than 50 cities with thousands gathering in St. Petersburg and in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk on a brutally cold day. —ARK

If you think that Moscow handles them w/o injuries…....
just wait. see if the protesters get to pitch tents for a month.
but anyway the protests in Moscow are WAY bigger than the OWS thingee
here…..............
AND…...they are FAR more representative of the population. no “we are the
99%” bs!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~People displayed posters that said things like:
.................................“146% of Muscovites are for fair elections,” ~~~~~~~

curious - Oakland can’t control 3k protesters without injuries, while Moscow
can handle 10 times more
but the real question: regime change… here, there, everywhere?

so here it is on RT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZr2GmGX3IE no blood, not fire - doesn’t come close in numbers to July 1 Green Square, looks like Occupy Oakland without the Rubber Bullets, Flash Grenades nevertheless Hillary seems to be calling for ... regime change?
curious (or not) how the UEA monarchs (non of which even have constitutions, and have just sanctioned Syria) are gunning down their protesters with nary a blink of the eye from the global MSM nor the so-called alt- media: Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, The Nation
even curiouser how the US Congress literally sanctioned the Congressional Black Caucus in their quest for a Congressional investigation into the disenfranchisement of Florida’s black voters in 2000 - and why were there not 10s of thousands of African Americans and their so-called progressive supporters on the streets about that?
still urging a visit to http://tarpley.net/world-crisis-radio/
Tarpley parses developments as such; globalist hegemons are determined to ride the so-called Arab Spring wave of democratic rebellion on to Damascus, Tehran, Moscow, Beijing… with ground-work well laid by Freedom House, National Endowment for Democracy, Human Rights Watch, et al… regime change is irrepressibly in the air, and as the song says, just maybe: ‘democracy is coming to the USA’

dog… I hope that you know that RT is owned by the Russian government…........
not surprising that Golinger is on denouncing the US as somehow exaggerating
the the protests over the election fraud in Russia.
Golinger’s agenda, as a shill for Chavez, is to denounce all media reports of
corruption, election fraud and demonstrations as exaggerated….because that’s
what’s happening in Venezuela…and it’s gonna be worse in Venezuela next
year.
But that it isn’t already blatant ,,,as last election Chavez’s party got only half the
votes….but 2/3 of the seats in the legislature.
FOX News is a pile of sloppy shit, but the shit in Russia DOES stink and Putin IS
still a thug.
http://youtu.be/3bFLcHdPpTU
and his reference to the communists as he bullshits is because even Gorbachev
called him out for this fraud.

Protests in Russia have sprung up in reaction to the results of the Russian 2011
election. Fox news has missed the mark when covering the uproars in Moscow.
The news media showed footage of riots in Greece claiming that people of
Russia were upset at Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party.
