People from all the world, women and men of the year, set 15 October as appointment for a huge demonstration: it's the biggest global self organized manifestation ever: it's the rise up of the 99%.

In Europe people demonstrate against the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank,  and the economic policies of national governments.

Only in Rome, in a square surrounded by old church and cultural heritage, the manifestation suddenly turned up into a urban guerrilla, with baton charges, the usage of hundreds of tear gas and CS gas (forbidden by International convention), police van burned, almost 80 people wounded, more than 20 arrested and several milion euro damages.

After that, all the media and the parties in Italy start a smear campaign to recognaise people involved in the manifestation.

Maybe not interrelated, but after only 3 weeks Silvio Berlusconi gave volountary resignation.
