Greeks inspired by the Spanish “Indignant” or “Indignados” movement held their largest protest so far in Athens on Sunday, which some estimates put as high as 100,000 people, although a more accurate assesment seemed to be that those taking part exceeded 30,000.

No official figure was given for the number of people packing into Syntagma Square in front of Parliament but it was clear that the protest was by far the largest since the movement began on Wednesday.

Then, some 20,000 people were thought to have taken to the streets of the capital but it was clear that on Sunday, the numbers were much larger. The protest remained peaceful, as people sang, chanted slogans against the country’s politicians and austerity measures and aimed gestures at Parliament.

Greece’s deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos had earlier dismissed the significance of the country’s ‘Indignant’ movement.

“It is a movement without an ideology or organization, which bases itself on only one feeling, that of rage,” Pangalos told Ethnos newspaper.

2. I'm not at all surprised that this story is ignored in the US media.....

...nor should we be. Because the OWNERS OF THE SO-CALLED FREE PRESS, are afraid that something like this can and will happen here. And they'd be the first ones held responsible by TPTB because it's their job to keep us stupid about the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP2Ju35QT0A">world and what's happening in it, and to keep us pacified and entertained so we won't react to the truth of our miserable lives like these people are now doing.

But it will come nonetheless. There's no stopping it now. It's the beginning of the end for the fascists.

- It's the beginning of a world-wide revolution......

4. What US media? All we have is Fox Noose, the hangman of America, and its copycats.

We have no US news.

5. NPR? But I guess that is mainly Prairie Home Companion

and good old nostalgia. And heavily biased Inner Beltway garbage. (Cokie!)
