Riot Police Retake Istanbul‘s Taksim Square early this morning. Riot police stormed Taksim Square, the center of recent protests in Istanbul, firing tear gas and rubber bullets at firework-hurling demonstrators, pushing many of the protesters who had occupied the square for more than a week into a nearby park. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today he had “no more tolerance” for the mass anti-government demonstrations that have engulfed the country and killed three protesters and one police officer.

It is going to get a lot uglier here in the U.S. when the Federal Reserve’s wild and fast-paced money printing
fails to prop up our economy like it is barely doing now. You will see massive protests and riots in the U.S.
like never seen in our country’s history when our economy collapses, and it will not be pretty!
