UK Riots: Class Wars Continue to Spread?

Agent Provocateur?
The UK riots proceed for a third day as stores continue to be looted and buildings torched.

The mainstream media is condemning the looters, as perhaps should they be, but are we getting a clear picture of just what is going on?

In an article written today, Paul Joseph Watson of Infowars.com asks "why are the mobs not congregating around Downing Street, the Houses of Parliament or Buckingham Palace, the real culprits of Britain’s economic degradation.."

Recently we've seen Greek austerity riots, mass protests in Israel, Middle Eastern protests and unrest and the earlier tuition protests in the UK.

With corporations like the makers of blackberry offering to help prosecute rioters in the UK, and UK government saying they will possibly arrest people for pro riot twits (When Iran was having its series of protests, twitter was hailed as a necessary democratic tool) it seems that the riots are a symptom of a possible world wide class war, though I'm not so convinced that everyone on the street of London is on the peoples side.

The UK riots began in response to the death of a young black father by British police in a neighborhood where tensions where already strained concerning racial profiling and police stops.

Protests held by students earlier in the year over tuition increases didn't see the looting and burning seen this time around...is that a clue that perhaps these riots are partially being orchestrated by people who a. want to give protestors a bad name and b. would like to have tighter controls on one's right to protest?

It's important to remember that anytime there are mass protests, governments like to send out agent provocateurs - often in the form of anarchists - to discredit movements.

It's like John Lennon said, you have to look at who benefits for clues on who is orchestrating a scenario. In this London riot scenario, the people do not benefit from this activity. 

It can be difficult to sort through the stories.. .especially  when the mayhem serves the elites in that it helps to usher in more control. Already law makers in London are calling for local leaders with real power.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina many news outlets chose to exaggerate stories of looting and violence instead of focusing on how people genuinely needed help. Perhaps this was done to make people feel less compassionate about their plight?

Governments love using agent provocateurs to discredit movements, one ought to assume that some of the major trouble makers in the UK riots are actually police and military:
