At least 30,000 people marched through D.F. in rejection of the project to privatize the state oil company PEMEX, one of the legacies of the Mexican Revolution, now a century old.

Chile: violent repression against memorial march
The Chilean military police (carabineros) brutally repressed a march in homage to the victims of the fascist dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
When the march, which transited peacefully through Santiago de Chile, arrived to the cemetery, police attacked them with tear gas for no apparent reason.

Brazil: update on Independence Day protests
As mentioned earlier, the Brazilian Independence Day, became a day of struggle for honesty, dignity, freedom of speech and social rights. At least 13 people were injured by police, and other 27, arrested in Rio de Janeiro when they attempted to obstruct the ritual military parade.
In Sao Paulo as well, several avenues were blocked and national flags burned. The subsequent repression caused at least 39 arrested and two injured, both victims of car attacks by the police.
Other cities with significant protests were Fortaleza and Maceió in the NE of the country. In Fortaleza some 30 people were arrested, while in Maceió the ritual military parade had to be suspended.

Tunisia: large demonstrations demand immediate resignation of Islamist government
Tens of thousands marched through Tunis in demand of the resignation of the Islamist government, carrying national banners and photos of the victims of state terrorism.

Brazil: protests take over Independence Day
The Independence Day demonstration in Rio de Janeiro has been violently repressed by police forces using tear gas and rubber bullets. The demonstration coincided in time and space with the ritual military parade, which had already been reduced in size because of the expected protests, which have been called for all the country against corruption and anti-social policies.
We are tired of the most expensive World Cup ever, of the politicians, of the highest interest rates on Earth, of teachers living with misery salaries, of public works that never end, of the mercenary and manipulated press, said one of the demonstrators.
Events still unfolding in this Brazilian Independence Day.

Syria: even more evidence of the falsehood of the "chemical attack"
A Christian nun, Agnes-Marie de la Croix, confirmed to Russia Today that she witnessed how children were selected for the farcical video of the supposed "chemical attack".
The nun also declared total hostility against any Western attack against Syria, describing the Islamist groups as new barbarians, who have massacred mercilessly all non-Sunni communities: Chistians, Druzes, Alawites and Ismailites. The terrorist crimes by the Islamist gangs include rapings, kidnappings and beheadings, among other crimes.
Also, a former hostage of an Islamist gang, Ukrainian journalist Anhar Kochneva also supports the version that the "chemical attack" was a farce. That day she was at her residence just a few kilometers from the location of the supposed attack and the wind blew strongly in her direction (some 20m/s).
She explains that if there would have been any such chemical attack they would have been no doubt affected, exactly the same as they smell the gunpowder and the burning. However there was nobody intoxicated in Damascus that day.
The only "evidence" for the attack, she explains, are some videos highly questioned in their credibility. It is generally believed that the children were taken hostage from Kurdish areas or maybe from Latakia and then drugged as a video now removed from YouTube (account canceled, what a coincidence!) showed very clearly.
England: thousands confront tiny Nazi march, police protected the Nazis as usual
Thousands of antifascists gathered in the East End London to confront a particularly outrageous Nazi march organized by the EDL and which, in spite of buses bringing fascists from all the country, only gathered a few hundred.
The march was a total provocation not just for being organized in a largely immigrant district but because it originally attempted to march to Altab Ali Park, named in honor of a Bengali-English worker murdered in 1978 in cold blood by a Nazi just for being different. The attack sparked such outrage that the Nazis were completely expelled from the neighborhood forever.
Some 3000 police agents were deployed to protect the Nazi march from popular hostility. Police interference with popular anger caused incidents resulting in many arrests (Sare Antifaxista[es] claims 150 arrested).
