Mystery - Street Protests Around The World

By spending hours marching out in the scorching heat, screaming your lungs out, it does not come everyday. In fact, when people do this sort of thing within the context of one’s right, it is usually a cry for help – nothing more or nothing less.

When any government, for the matter, refuses the people an avenue to voice their grievances or to suppress human rights and freedom, then the last resort the people will take is the street.

Then, the police will conduct widespread arrests to suppress protesters and their supporters. Such cracked down by using whatever means the law provided can never be successful because the actual problems are still left unsolved.

Any corrupt government is an oppressive government. When the plundering of the country’s wealth takes place right before the people’s eyes with impunity, then history will prove beyond a shadow of doubt where people will rise to take the street is imminent. The government must be checked. Bureaucrats must be resisted.

The people must be given the correct information and their rights to decide which government they want. It is the people who voted the government to run the country, and they are the very people who can take the government down when the government has betrayed their trust!

The federal government must uphold the rights of the people, and bound by the Constitutions to ensure every citizen is guaranteed of their liberty and justice. The people give the government its just powers and the government must not subjugate the people to any injustice, cruelty and the freedom to speech. The government must operate at the consent of the people, only then democracy can prevail.

Government corruption involves the elected officials breaking the law, taking bribes, or wrongfully issuing special favours to select individuals or cliques to promote their own career.

To an extent, this is government corruption, but such activity only touches the surface. It represents a small fraction of the real corruption going on. The most egregious corruption originates right in plain view in the “palace” of legislature, and the people know it and want something to be done about it.


A corrupt government is one that extends unlawful jurisdiction over the people it is supposed to protect, and legislates beyond its rightful power by erecting laws that do injury to liberty, justice, and individual rights. A corrupt government believes that might is right, and ultimately curtail freedom. Such blatant act forces the populace into submission while falsely claiming it is acting in their best interest.

When the government does not change with time, then time will give people the opportunity to change the government.

Today, most of the people are Subjects of a corrupt government and they are not powerless. In fact, they should not allow the government to act wrongfully to them. Most people have the faintest idea how far off course the government has strayed. But, when they realized a little too late, the power for the police to arrest becomes evident.
The government will call on the people who dislike them to wait for the poll to cast their votes of choice. Most likely the people could not wait because the government is capable of rigging the election.




More people are beginning to understand that failure to exercise their fundamental right will bring them nowhere. Since politicians and bureaucrats do not deliver liberty, they take it away from the people then, the only alternative for them is to stand up and be counted!


It does not matter if the society is realistic to what action they want to take, or resigned to fate because some have the unthinkable tolerance to put up with certain level of government corruption.

When the tolerance gap narrowed, the clarion call for the effective use of the existing laws (that is deadly for the government bureaucrats, politicians and henchmen), the people will run into confrontation with the police.

People do not need to wait for a ruling from a judge to nix an unjust prosecution. The people are the ultimate check against despotic government authoritarians and will not take the back seat to fight for their liberty.

No matter in which country, when the government is so corrupted and perverted that they no longer meet the hopes and aspirations of the people, and incapable of enforcing even anti-corruption laws, then let hell break loose in the streets.


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. Thomas Jefferson
