Re: Obama's Debut Marred Sarkozy Threatens Boycott of G20

Correction

Oh, and don't expect Obama to do much against the real culprits. He's in the pocket of the international bankers and is a pigman (2nd highest AIG campaign recipient).

The media has a problem with this G20 meeting. Their star isn't looking so good. Obama is going over like a lead balloon with his counterparts. They recognize him for his inexperience and betting the entire farm on naked money printing. When in history has the socialist Europe lectured the US about being too far left?

Video: London G20 protestors storm RBS bank

And according to the AP, some defiant banksters actually heckled the mobs from their offices above, waving 10 pound notes at them! $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ome protesters spray-painted the side of the RBS building with the phrases "class war" and "thieves." Others pushed against columns of riot police who swatted them away with batons.

Demonstrators hoisted effigies of the "four horsemen of the apocalypse," representing war, climate chaos, financial crimes and homelessness:
"The greed that is driving people is tearing us apart," said Steve Lamont, 45, flanked by his family and protesters who were banging on bells, playing drums and blowing whistles.

Fearing they would be targeted by protesters, some bankers swapped their pinstripe suits for casual wear and others stayed home. Bolder financial workers leaned out their office windows Wednesday, taunting demonstrators and waving 10 pound notes at them. "It seems like everything is in a mess," said protester Steve Johnson, 49, an unemployed construction worker. "You get bankers getting massive bonuses, and the MPs (British lawmakers) are lining their own pockets."

Protesters waved banners reading "Banks are evil," "Eat the bankers," and "0% interest in others." "It's better than sitting down shouting at the television at these bankers," he said. "We cannot go back to the way things were before to the million-dollar bonus culture."

One $0.25 bullet into Mugabe's head would make sure that several million African's have food to eat within the year.

I am new in this forum. And like current events. Here is a threat about this title in this forum. Bur$atil.
March 24 (Reuters) - Large emerging economic powers are pushing for an overhaul of the global monetary system to dislodge the dollar as the dominant reserve currency.
Love to follow this meeting in London and the 1 supra currency.

We should all be duly warned that Uncle Spam and Mary Todd are watching. Don't advocate anything you are not willing to take a night stick to the head for. In fact it would be wise to stay far away from any protests, human action cannot change what is going to happen, it cannot undo the power of the one ring. We need Frodo.
