Rage in Brazil

Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 

So what was it like in the days of Noah?

Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 

Rage in Brazil
The days of rage have caught observers of this emerging Latin American powerhouse by surprise and rattled a government already suffering from decaying popularity. Triggering the revolt was an innocuous-seeming fare increase of about nine cents for public transportation in São Paulo. But the outrage touched a nerve in this sprawling metropolis of 18 million, where 7 million people depend on a precarious network of buses and subways,  

BREAKING NEWS! Millions of Protestors in Rio de Janeiro Brazil
At this time, we are unsure on what is going on in Brazil, but the mainstream media isn't reporting this. Something is up. All we have on this breaking news story is this photograph and the video of the protestors in the streets of Rio de Janeiro.

Police arrest dozens in raids across Turkey after protests
Police raided addresses across Turkey on Tuesday and detained dozens of people after nearly three weeks of anti-government protests, local media reported. State media TRT said 25 people had been detained in the capital Ankara, 13 in Eskisehir to the west and "many" in Turkey's biggest city Istanbul.

Egypt launches stealth war with Ethiopia and its allies over the Nile
Egypt’s Morsi government has initiated a return to covert war against Ethiopia, which controls the source of the Blue Nile, Egypt’s and Sudan’s principal source of water.

Egypt talks war over Nile dam
SINCE becoming Egypt's President a year ago, Mohammed Morsi has been so awash with problems - economic, political, constitutional - that he has paid scant attention to the biggest problem of all coming down the river - the level of the River Nile. Two weeks ago, Ethiopia announced that it had begun to divert the Blue Nile, the major source of Egypt's water, in the process of building a giant dam. 

Ethiopia ratifies Nile treaty in snub to Egypt
Ethiopia's parliament unanimously ratified on Thursday a treaty that strips Egypt of its right to the lion's share of the Nile river waters, raising the political temperature in a dispute between Cairo and Addis Ababa over the construction of a dam.
