The city of London is bracing for widespread disruption over the next week as protesters plan a wave of anti-capitalist demonstrations in the lead-up to the G20 summit of world leaders next week.
Police have warned workers in the financial district to dress down and not draw attention to themselves as protesters target bankers in what is feared will be violent clashes on the scale of the May Day anti-globalisation protests from 2000 and 2001. (full story)

 I can add too! posted by angry citizen, 2009-03-22 01:45:56
This comment has been upgraded because it makes sense 'across the board' -- something that Executive elites have been unable to do for years! Anyone that has any assets whatsoever in the 'stock market' -- for the want of a more accurate term -- could be best described today as a fool's FOOL!
Angry citizen's comment puts the entire financial meltdown in contextual perspective -- see how THEY run! Use it like a hot knife when dealing with the 'butter' explanations of shysters and banksters. It certainly frames the article from Rolling Stone's, Matt Taibbi, in the comment section very nicely indeed -- a great read, Matt! Never forget the CURRENT REALITY and how we got here and WHO was responsible. Never again fall for the meaningless gibberish of 'experts' that reality BRANDS as thieves and liars -- simple! I'll leave you to the perfect deductions of an honest angry citizen! Ed. (full story and 2 comments)

 Introducing the New Canada! posted by nano, 2009-03-21 23:54:54
In a political inversion that defies all reason and rational thought, the Canadian government recently barred a British MP from entering the country while welcoming, with warm embraces, a notorious mass murderer and war criminal! No prizes for guessing the identity of the notorious war criminal, George W Bush; however, some people in North America may not be familiar with the outspoken British MP, George Galloway, who I would add is NOT guilty of deceit, leading to the mass murder of over one million INNOCENT Iraqis!

 Restoring our Financial Sovereignty posted by Nikki Alexander via quin, 2009-03-20 07:43:36
Prologue
When Benjamin Franklin was called before the British Parliament in 1757 and asked to account for the prosperity in the American colonies. He replied, "That is simple. In the colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one."
It was the struggle for financial sovereignty that precipitated the American Revolution when the (Rothschild) Bank of England forced the colonies to give up their Scrip and intense poverty followed. (full story and 2 comments)

 Some of Cayce's Predictions posted by ides, 2009-03-19 18:55:36
Recent events have warranted the upgrade of this comment -- originally to article 304 -- to story status. The principal considerations for the upgrade relate to relevancy and timeliness.
The sheer beauty and power of Nature's forces may have also influenced our decision; 'let her rip, Gaia -- way to go!' (full story and 1 comments)

Social Reality Pill posted by yarra, 2009-03-18 21:01:58
For those living in the subterranean depths and for others who may not yet have noticed that one of the world’s great ‘religions’/ideologies has COMPLETELY FAILED! The STARK REALITY of today is that FREE MARKET CAPITALISM is DEAD or at the very least [is] a FLAWED and failed system. (full story and 3 comments)

 Paul Keating’s recent ‘sledging’ of Timothy Geithner in context posted by Kingfisher, 2009-03-17 22:48:44
Perhaps no Western leader was closer to the CIA backed, mass murdering former Indonesian President, General Soeharto than former Australian PM, Paul Keating. It would be fair to say that Soeharto and Keating were as ‘thick as thieves.’ (full story)

 Dollar Crisis In The Making posted by W Joseph Stroupe via reed, 2009-03-16 09:42:30
Increasingly ominous clouds are gathering in what could soon be the perfect storm against the United States dollar and against the present dollar-centric global financial order.
This is not shaping up to be a storm that anyone is trying to initiate, not even those who are actively driving for a new global financial order that is no longer centered on the dollar. Instead, it will result from a correlation of forces arising out of the deepening global financial and economic crises, coupled with recurring and conspicuous miscalculation on the part of some of the world's political, financial and economic leaders.

 U.S. Population International Laughing Stock posted by barra, 2009-03-15 22:53:38
It takes a major event/crisis to expose the REALITY and TRUE character of a nation and its people. The reality is usually light years from the myth, as America currently exemplifies. Home of the ‘brave’ and land of the ‘free’ couldn’t be further from the truth! (full story and 1 comments)

Jon Stewart becomes angry public's avenger posted by Howard Kurtz via reed, 2009-03-15 21:23:54
WASHINGTON — Jon Stewart has amassed a passionate following as a sharp-edged satirist who punctures the balloons of the powerful with a caustic candor that reporters cannot muster. As public furor over the economic meltdown rises, the Comedy Central star has turned not just his humor but his full-throated outrage against financial journalists who he says aided and abetted the likes of Bear Stearns, AIG and Citigroup, especially those who work for the nation's top business-news channel.

 ICC — ‘Western kangaroo court’ posted by Olley Maruma via rialator, 2009-03-15 20:23:05
In Africa, the International Criminal Court (ICC) at the Hague is considered by many to be a Western kangaroo court set up to hound, jail and silence African and Third world leaders who refuse to submit to the grip of Western hegemony and domination. The court's recent indictment of President Omar al Bashir of Sudan, has only provided more evidence to give credence to this view. (full story)

 The Australian ‘Banana’ Tragedy posted by birdie, 2009-03-14 23:20:24
This story is a tragedy in progress and is possibly only a minor symptom of a broader social malaise!
The Australian public is fully aware that the great Aussie banana, sold by leading supermarkets tastes like something approximating cardboard! Nevertheless, these pigswill, in-season, bananas sell for high prices ranging between $3.58 to $4.98/kilo – Woolworths and Coles supermarket chains seem to have recently aligned their prices -- an ‘odd coincidence;’ don’t you think? Is there a bloody government regulator out there, anywhere? (full story and 1 comments)
