Dominican Republic: Bankrupt and Near Revolution | Don't Tread ...

MEXICO CITY ? A medical student was fatally shot on Thursday on the campus of the Dominican Republic?s largest public university during a violent confrontation between the police and protesters angry about a new law that will significantly raise sales taxes and a proposal to privatize the school.

Witnesses said the student ? identified by the authorities as William Florian Ram?rez, 21 ? was not taking part in the protest on the campus of the school, the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, which has about 180,000 students, but he seemed to have simply been caught nearby. The demonstration, involving hundreds of people, had suddenly turned more hostile when young men in masks began throwing rocks at the police.

?He was shot in the back,? said Daphne Valera, who said she saw the shooting. ?It was around 1 p.m. He was just standing there in the street on campus.?

A police spokesman in Santo Domingo said the shooting was under investigation. By early afternoon, classes had been suspended. Student leaders condemned both the rock throwing and the police response, but they said that they did not expect public anger to subside. An array of civic groups took part in protests all over the country, expressing outrage about the tax increases that they said were the product of corruption by the country?s former president, Leonel Fern?ndez, and his party, which controls both houses of the legislature.

?This country is on the verge of bankruptcy because they took every penny,? said Jorgy Cruz Soto, the owner of a production company in Santo Domingo, adding, ?We are very close to a civil revolution.?

Hey Chris, Just wanted to take a moment out of my life to thank you for all the life changing decisions/events that have occurred because of the information you've brought to the forefront when I discovered you, DTOM, & the SOL academy. I shunned the psychopaths in my life, closed my facebook, took every hour of free time to see the academy and read A LOT (a first for me), learned that I have a deep innate thirst for knowledge and teaching, jumped head first on topics I would have NEVER taken an interest in if not for waking up (finance, economics, politics, psychology, to name a few), and view everything in a completely different, but forward thinking and more intricate way. What you say is so true ... "once your eyes are open, you can never close them again" - EVER. The magnitude of all the changes that I've made in my life because of the SOL academy are so huge that I can't even begin to put a word on it. It's like a golden seed of life, love & truth, planted in my mind that is making me realize what does matter, what is real, and what I want be at the end of the day to myself, loved ones, and the world. Hope you're having a well-deserved and wonderful time with your family. A toast to you, the individuals in our group, and all the great and positive things to come despite such times. Peace. - Irving A.

I just finished the 10 modules of the Sons of Liberty Academy. I have never been so educated and aware, in such a short time.

I now have a game plan and see my role more clearly. It all makes sense.

It is very important to understand what is going on in our world and how to fight against it most effectively.

45 hours of video is a lot of information (I spend 3 weeks day and night, going through the course).

I would look for information on my own and it would take me a lot of time but to have it done and just to be able to build on that is great.

I do appreciate it to be free otherwise I would not be able to take it.

Thanks;
Raj

I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you. I've been studying the Academy, about to start module 5.

The information I've observed to this point has opened my mind to new ideas, and also reaffirmed some beliefs I've always had. I feel a tremendous sense of confidence now, the fear is subsiding, and I'm excited to complete the Academy and find the direction I can take with my future, as well as my friends and family.

As Bill Hicks said, the next revolution will be a revolution of ideas. I'm glad to be a part of this program.

Many thanks,
Michael

"Silver Shield,

The Sons of Liberty Academy is really fantastic! I highly recommend the Academy and the hard work and dedication to the truth that Silver Shield has put forth for defenders of Freedom and Liberty.

The betrayal of the Tea Party loyalist is becoming evident. A rebellion is brewing day by day, and the Power Elite have every right to be very worried.

Awaken People don't be fooled again! Join the Academy.."

My only regret is that I did not have this knowledge 20 years ago. The Sons of Liberty Academy is truly life changing.

If anyone is on the fence about joining the Academy, I will tell them they are doing themselves, their family and the country a injustice by not taking it.

Don?t let the money stand in the way, the course is invaluable and will pay for it self many times over with the finance info within the course.

I have two masters degrees and the Sons of Liberty Academy has been of greater benefit than all the ?formal? education I have received.

Thanks Chris! You are a true Patriot and hero! -Randy H.

"I am very excited about what I've learned so far! I have 3 more modules to complete. I've gone through a few of them twice, especially when there is history discussed. I find that very interesting. I am going to run through the entire Academy again, and review all the additional materials linked below the videos. There is so, so much information. Thank you for your hard work putting this together.

I am spreading the word."

"I have just finished watching Module Six and continue to be amazed at the deception perpetrated on the American people.

I applaud your work and thank you sincerely for these eye-opening truths you have laid out.

I never had an interest in politics or our monetary system because it seemed too confusing, however, the simple way it is taught in the Academy has far surpassed any education I have received in my 35 years on this earth."

"In just a few short months, I've gone from being a skeptic to being a believer.

I'm a born-again Christian, a veteran, and a patriot, but I'm also a realist.

I now prep and am protecting my assets.

DTOM has played a big part in my new education.

Heck, I love the T-shirts, too!

Thanks for doing a great job. Now I Get It!!!!"

Thank you for giving me the wisdom of awareness.

I have been sharing it with others, but there are so many more to reach. I am not afraid of the changes we will soon see, but confident that I am prepared to handle them. We are building a strong group here in my area and have shared your website with several key people of influence here.

Thank God I found you and took the time to go through the Academy. At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, my life will never be the same, and for that I am very grateful.

Thanks again, live free,
Mike
