Keystone Anarchy, the G 20 and Cold War optimism as Third World tides arise.

"I was always a big believer in - when I was doing organizing before I went to law school - that focusing on concrete, local, immediate issues that have an impact on people's lives is what really makes a difference and that having protests about abstractions [such] as global capitalism or something, generally, is not really going to make much of a difference." ~ President Obama

"One of the things that we'll highlight at the G-20 - and maybe the protesters are missing this - is that I and other world leaders are very interested in making sure that the excesses of global finance are reined in," he said, "that we've got a regulatory framework and structure that assures you are not seeing the sorts of abuses that resulted in this most recent financial crisis that did create enormous hardship for Main Street." ~ President Obama

~ Sometimes the losers gain more in defeat than the victors realize in conquest.

The concept of First, Second and Third world nations is propaganda and has been since the Cold War began. Corporate media continues to use "Third World" as an undesirable direction that the U.S.A. is headed.

There is only one world.

In this world, the people cannot stop traffic to protest the actions of our leaders.

When we do, we are arrested. We are maced. We are tear gassed. Now we are driven away from our gatherings by sonic cannons that make anywhere within earshot uninhabitable.

For now, the corporate funded crowd control is only used to defend meetings like the G20, I.M.F., World Bank, D.N.C. and R.N.C.

All media coverage concentrates on the minority of protesters that resort to violence.

Why is the legality of a march or protest a legitimate reason to dismiss dialogue

while the legality of our elections, financial systems and wars remain in question?
