Riots, Rebellion and Revolution When Empire Hits Home By Andrew Gavin Marshall April 07, 2010 As nations of the world are thrown into a debt crisis, the likes of which have never been seen before, harsh fiscal 'austerity' measures will be undertaken in a flawed attempt to service the debts. The result will be the elimination of the middle class. When the middle class is absorbed into the labour class - the lower class - and lose their social, political, and economic foundations, they will riot, rebel, and revolt. Ratings Agency Predicts Civil Unrest Moody's is a major ratings agency, which performs financial research and analysis on governments and commercial entities and ranks the credit-worthiness of borrowers. On March 15, Moody's warned that the US, the UK, Germany, France, and Spain "are all at risk of soaring debt costs and will have to implement austerity plans that threaten 'social cohesion'." Further, Moody's warned that such 'austerity' measures increase the potential for 'social unrest': "Growth alone will not resolve an increasingly complicated debt equation. Preserving debt affordability at levels consistent with AAA ratings will invariably require fiscal adjustments of a magnitude that, in some cases, will test social cohesion," said Pierre Cailleteau, the chief author. "We are not talking about revolution, but the severity of the crisis will force governments to make painful choices that expose weaknesses in society," he said.[1] In other words, due to the massive debt levels of western nations taken on to save the banks from the crisis they caused, the people must now pay through a reduction of their standards of living. Naturally, social unrest would follow. This has not been the first or only warning of "social unrest" in the west, and it certainly won't be the last.
