The global ruling elite have never offered anything but charades to the rest of us. Yes, an end to them, once and for all.

I couldn't agree more. Spot on! Every one of those conferences represents another layer of distancing from the democratic process.

The only purpose of these conferences is to show the "Unwashed masses" who the bosses are and who the Police are out there to protect.

It is Class warfare and the Police believe they are backing "The Winners'

The "global ruling elite" indeed, and the beginning of their end is within each of us. When we finally come to see that we don't need these products, attitudes, habits, wars, etc. that industrial society dangles before us, when we finally come to find more joy in staying "in place" instead of flying, driving, racing off to "somewhere else" to find escape, when we experience the healthier, more communal aspects of growing and sharing food locally, when we find our way to a life without the scramble for "money", then we'll live in to our true wealth, what we truly yearn for ~ each other, community, simplicity.

That doesn't mean we go "back", we move forward with the cultural/scientific/spiritual knowledge we've gained, temper it with the indigenous wisdom that all things are sacred and worthy of respect, not ruling. This "revolution" is what is happening throughout Latin America and around the world, People rising up and saying to the Corporate Beast , "We know how to live together, how to feed ourselves. Get out of the way!"

Resist and Celebrate. When we finally feel, in our bodies, the violence being done to Earth by profit-driven psychopaths in finely tailored suits, we will know the Calling to sting like the honeybee defending her hive, to charge like a grizzly protecting her cubs, and to celebrate Life, All things Sacred, like Earth People have done throughout Time. Nature provides strategies for both actions.

While these are self-serving, ego-filling events for these criminals, they at least serve the purpose of putting face(s) on the members that make up the Wests' worst criminals – the Heads of State. Good to be reminded ever so often who these people are.

Btw, the CBS Evening News didn't air one second of video of the protest. Weasels.

As for the protesters, thank you.

This article proves the agents provacateaur is an actual fact of the constabulary in one Canadian town, but almost surely it's something used on a widespread basis in constabulary forces in the USA, Canada, and other countries.

The power elites will go with what works to keep the mass of people off guard and confused to keep their power and privileges.

Bring America Back !!!!

**At least Mr Hilary mentions a couple issues bringing out the activists: Homelessness and Poverty !

**Was there any mention of every Miss America' dream of
'World Peace' ??

**Hilary's solution is to ban and do away with all these\
Global summits since obviously the World Cop soccer was more important to some of the Attendees. Obama got to trade bottles of beer with someone: now thats his kind of diplomacy.

"May Toronto's G20 Be the Last"

(Largely reposting from "Toronto Police Rough up Journalists"
but just as relevant here, so pls forgive)

"Questions are being asked as to why the police chose to drive the vehicles into the middle of a group of protesters and then abandon them, and why there was no attempt to put out the flames until the nation's media had been given time to record the scenes for broadcast around the world."

False flag operations (attack by forces in power on own country faked to look like enemy-attack, to then justify attack on enemy) and use of agent provocateurs (people hired by power-holders to make protests look bad by acting extreme and violent) should, based on history, be seen as the normal strategy of police-forces.

*

What's happening here, in the broader picture? - Apparently a strategy to create "violent protester clashes at state leader meetings". This will then legitimize further tightening of repressive "security" at other and later events. "Security" has become an euphemism for police-attacks on the public, ordered by amorphous groups of "leaders".

The police herds people and peaceful protesters into an unescapable location, then demand that people leave by unavailable routes. This justifies harassment and arrests, predictably leading to "clashes".

As official authorities naturally dominate the media (cf. Israel's attack and murder of peace activists May 30, 2010), what will remain in "the public mind" (i.e. mainstream media's short-hand references to the events later) is a perception that "anarchists", "violent protesters" or "unruly demonstrators" have upset important and legitimate gatherings of world leaders who are hard at work with the difficult tasks of securing the good of all. However bad the purported good is.

This false picture is then used to justify further aggressive and proactive "security" measures by official rulers wherever similar meetings take place.

This will also be the demand by the "leaders" who visit these events. Individual countries have little to say on the size and quality of "security arrangements". Countries wanting to be part of "the international community" will have to make the "security arrangements" demanded by the organizers of such summits.

The public pays for these costly attacks on ourselves and democratic rights.

This is not budding fascism. - It's escalating fascism presented as democracy. But people all around the world are waking up to the fact.

The world's becoming one, including regarding the strategies different countries implement to handle "protest" - i.e. legitimate objections to ruling policies.

We the people striving for more harmonic living have an ally in the planet herself, as the biosphere reacts to abuse and in effect shuts down the exploitation by overextended human systems. Harmony will win, eventually. But the way there isn't pretty. Nor is it made prettier by our leaders.

What's happening at the current G-20 meeting, preceeded by a premise-setting G-8 meeting, is simply put that elites design how the public shall pay for the richest's financial extravagances and crises - and the wasteful, unsustainable living of the top ten percent of the world's population. (The top ten percent equals about 700 million in the global "West" - us rich and educated enough to use the internet. That's us here, friends). With the tracks set for the rest to follow with little choice or leeway.

The disastrous track of uncontinuable "growth" in the limited quantity planet Earth is, shall go on while people die 'en masse' from it.

All growth in excess of THE NATURAL HUMAN GROWTH RATE OF 1.3 PERCENT annually, countering our natural decay, can now only exacerbate the problems the global human tribe faces.

Time to wake up to how we're abused - no matter how well we live. 25,000 die every day from our trade-systems, and one billion live in starvation - just beyond the horizon of our attention-spans.

Ingenious and forceful reaction to the voilent abuse of people by authorities is now the way to save the best of human culture. - Don't believe the hype that non-violent resistance is the way of humanist protest. History belies that passivising claim.

Do unto authorized attackers as you'd accept them doing to you if you'd become as dastardly crazy as them.

"Now is the time to end the charade of these summits once and for all." Indeed.

Documentation that today's 'Black block' destructive rioters are probable police 'agent provocateurs':

Actually, G20 is somewhat of an "improvement" over G8 - a highly pretentious group of old-timers trying desperately to retain their power and relevance. G8 used to be the G7 before Russia was "admitted" into the club. And even before, it was just the G6 before Canada got in (why Australia is not there, I really don't know). G6 was initiated by France - another pretentious imperial country, trying to stay relevant in the 21st century. The *only* country that is in this rich man's group called the G8 purely because of their citizens' hard work (and NOT due to past imperial conquests, or through an abundance of natural resources at their command - also due to imperial conquests in the past) is Japan. (Japan's imperial history is relatively for a short period of time. Though people do not consider China to be an imperial power, China has been an empire for most of its history, and is run today using similar instruments of control).

I agree - it's time to question the motives and the rationale behind G20. But we HAVE TO start with the G8 first. And while we are at it, it's time to either break up the so-called P5 (Permanent Members) of the UN Security Council, or expand it to reflect the current geo-political situation. It's a scandal to have a tiny group of countries - all imperial powers (excepting China) lording over the rest of humanity. When countries like Germany, Japan, India, South Africa and Brazil want to become permanent members, the existing members - including, and especially, China, do everything in their power to stop any reformation of the UN Security Council. And some clever games such as "P5+Germany" seem to be played as in the case of the Iran nuclear "issue". So it would seem that the existing P5 members would rather have Germany as a new member, over any of the other countries such as India or Brazil. The whole thing is a scandal, and it must stop.

So, let's get rid of the G20. But we should start with the G8 and the P5 first.

if one were to make a citizen's arrest of an agent provacateur, would the agent provacateur have a defense? can law enforcement grant one immunity to break the law?

Have you heard that Mr. Obama will not raise discretionary spending for three years? Promise.

Does that mean he will freeze the Defense Department?

Spending must increase on projects to get people working or the USA may slip back into depression.

We shall see.

A junket for the owners of the planet
A get together for leaders who damn it.
who will do nothing to upset their status.
and will make pronouncements that amount to flatus

Their world is overrun with problems of human vermin.
Some of which they would very much like to extermine
So many hungry lives competing, so many will die
The total needs and wants are impossible to satisfy.

The global score likes to think its in control,
But all it does is mark the results on the board.
The teaming masses tumble down hill with the earth roll.
The winners take all they can for their own reward.

I've been to a number of protests in Canada including the Quebec FTAA Demo. The Black Bloc are mostly the same guys who get into post game Hockey and Football riots. Canadians are not quite as quiet and passive as we would like other people to believe, enough beer and testosterone and windows get broken and cars flipped and torched for no good reason other than fun.

The classical Gandhians in the protest community will claim that the Black Bloc undermines their credibility but will tolerate their presence because only pictures of violence will get into the media. This speaks to a much larger issue. We are all, both in Canada and the US totally addicted to a non stop diet of violence from our media, both in entertaiment and news, (more and more becoming the same thing.)

How much can we blame the participants who pander to our addiction on both sides of the line? The police like getting on TV also. If quiet protests got onto the news and the views participants have were aired then violence would not be tolerated by the demonstrators themselves. That doesn't happen. Peaceful protest is ignored. It is just not exciting enough to warrent air time and sponsors support. Maybe we should start taking some personal responsibility for the programming we are willing to pay for.

The idiot prime minister and his people had the brilliant idea to hold this useless summit in downtown Toronto and spent a billion dollars so these stupid twits could come for a short holiday and read a written summary given to them by bureaucrats and which means absolutely nothing.

No doubt the charade will continue unabated. Summits, councils, major conferences and all the rest are nothing but stalling actions for the Big World Actors to jerk each other off and agree to do NOTHING. Status quo sounds good to all the G20. Call out the robocops, bust some heads, look authoritative, say nothing of substance to the press since there is no press, and go about business as usual--destroying the world piece by piece. If the natives get restless, bust a few more heads. Get on your yachts with Tony Hayward and associates, light up those Havanas and play like you're saving the world while having a great time. Barack will join you very soon, maybe in Dubai on Tiger's golf course. You'll all have a good time massaging each other's ignorant egos.

The police state established in Toronto to protect a small but elite group mirrors that in St. Paul when Homeland Security, the FBI, Secret Service, and even some military personnel providing intelligence arrived with 3,000 imported riot-clad cops who sealed off downtown to protect McCain, Palin and the other Republicans attending their 2008 convention. In Toronto, there were apparently 20,000 imported cops -- two for every demonstrator.

In St. Paul, over 800 demonstrators were arrested and jailed by the county sheriff (who was the "enforcer" designated by the feds). Of this number, fewer than 50 were actually charged with any kind of offense and something like seven or eight were (or will be) tried.

Here, too, journalists were treated like criminals. Two of Amy Goodman's producers were arrested even though they wore valid press tags, and she was arrested when she showed up to ask why the other two had been illegally detained. She is now suing the city (which had no control over security and which had been promised by the feds that everyone's civil rights would be protected) and other governmental bodies.

Is every city and/or poor country to pony up a billion bucks to provide this massive and militant "protection" every time important people get together for a meeting?

The very purpose of the summits is not to gather & discuss, but to demonstrate that the elective tsars are inaccessible within their floating fortresses, that protest is useless in the modern state & that the idea that any right trumps SECURITY is, in the eyes of those tsars, entirely outdated.

Global corporate capitalism is collapsing, a higher global consciousness is emerging throughout the world that is challenging and delegitimizing the forces of global corporate rule. Read Paul Hawkins book "Blessed Unrest".

We need to recognize this and do our personal best in becoming part of this movement, using our individual talents and the life transforming dynamics of spirituality to bring about radical social change.This needs to become a new national conversation.

There can be no radical social change without a spiritual message. Humankind must rise to a higher level of conscuiousness in order to do this.

The above Srenade post speaks so well of this emerging higher consciousness.

Will Toronto's G20 Be the Last G20 Anywhere?

From James Howard Kunstler:

"What banks and governments have been doing for the past eighteen months is a dumbshow meant to distract the public from the fact that the world financial system has been effectively destroyed. There isn't enough money left in the known reaches of the universe to pay off the outstanding claims. In fact, not even close. Everything that proceeds from this fiasco will be in service of impoverishing most of the population and, incidentally, probably bringing down governments and, with them, convenient social usufructs such as due process of law and civil order."
