G20 protests rock London's financial area - 01 Apr 09

by Al Jazeera English
While the differences between the big G20 players were quietly discussed behind closed doors, out on the streets of London there was real anger.

Thousands crowded into London's financial centre to make their protests heard.

Chanting G-20 protesters clashed with riot police in central London on Wednesday, repeatedly overwhelming police lines, vandalizing the Bank of England and smashing windows at the Royal Bank of Scotland. An effigy of a banker was set ablaze, drawing cheers.

More than 30 people were arrested after some 4,000 anarchists, anti-capitalists, environmentalists and others clogged London's financial district for what demonstrators branded "Financial Fool's Day." The protests were called ahead of Thursday's Group of 20 summit of world leaders.

Now all we need to do is have a solidarity protest to show our outrage with the economic system here in the USA. WHEN? WHEN? WHEN?

WE NEED TO HOLD A BIG NATIONAL PROTEST AGAINST THE WHOLE ENTIRE FINANCIAL ESTABLISHMENT.

What's sort of freaky is two days ago, I watched a half hour of Fox news. Hannity was promoting these tax day resistance Tea Party things. Seriously.., Fox News, of all institutions, using terms like liberty and tyranny, and subtly suggesting that people resist taxes. If a state lacked borders and tax revenue, it would fall apart, and anarchists know this.
okay, after that, he brought on various guests. Dennis Prager is just horrible and uncomfortable, and has a book out about how most women he's been with only want to have sex with him every 4 months, and they should stop it or he'll divorce them or stop giving them an allowance. Moving on, he brought on *Karl Rove*, i.e. Bush's brain, one of the most powerful people in the country during the last 8 years. Karl Rove was going on about how Obama is into spending up the debt, doubling and tripling it, in a sort of 'starve the beast' strategy where the only options will be collapse of the government due to bankruptcy, or a seizure of major socialist control with high taxes. Under Bush, the debt went from $5trillion to over $11trillion this January.
Hannity also brought out Dick Morris a couple days ago, who was a republican consultant to Clinton and wrote a really right wing book recently. He dared to say that Obama is elitist globalist organizations and a one-world currency, and we need to watch him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DongGB7wQU4 It's so sickening how apparently the people who watch Fox can have their democratic or anti-statist sentiments funneled into support of these top elite war criminals via simple propaganda .
