Pittsburgh Supports G20 Protestors: The Peoples Uprising

[heimannstudios]

Just thought of something....why don't the people show up for the small events...such as some 'politician' speaking for some fundraiser....and leave the big events alone. Think about it, if these big events have no one to show up to their charade, their efforts in 'maintaining peace' will make em look like baffoons.

Supply and demand folks.

[ilovety65]

perfect song for the ice cream truck,whtch out he might be a terrorist!I can't believe this is the america I grew up in.I'll get my supplies together even more now.......

[modernmariorc]

what makes this an illegal assembly?

[modernmariorc]

why could not they get a permit to protest?

[CavsHooligan]

why the fuck did they arrest that cow guy at the end

[FluxRostrum]

no clue. I saw him doing a lovely dance number in front of some riot cops earlier in the day but it seemed as though he was just walking down the sidewalk at the time of his arrest.. which would mean he was targeted for something or.. they just didn't like his outfit... i dunno..

[toddzy2007]

i was interested until i heard that preacher start talking. it has nothing to do with religion, so go away. someone silence him, Amen-a!

[FluxRostrum]

Rev. Billy is a Parody... he uses the construct of televangelism to "preach" justice & freedom.. you were too quick to judge. please try again.

[toddzy2007]

oic, couldn't have guessed, he does that well.

[FluxRostrum]

Look for 'What Would Jesus Buy?" &/or the Church of Stop Shopping on the google machine "~)

[SurgeNine]

@FluxRostrum I am sure many people did not appreciate the humour in a man preaching to them, ridiculous.

[sliqer]

LOL that guy in the white jacket is that crazy guy who tried to bring down starbucks because its the devil! Aren't the protesters annoyed by him?

[eihwazone]

Was a " Form 1" filed? Was the police informed at least a week in advance that there would be a protest? I'm just curious because we have the right to peaceful assembly, it's our constitutional right. At least for now we do....

[FluxRostrum]

"permit" denied. other "permits" for protests were actively Not Honored.

Everyone knew weeks in advandce no surprises here.. well except that ear drum busting sound cannon .. that was a surprise.

[eihwazone]

Was there a reason why the permit was denied?  Does this organization have any attorneys?

[FluxRostrum]

the ACLU was all over this shit in the weeks leading up to the event.

Here's the routine.

"authorities" drag out the process so that "organizations" can not make effect plans or inspire people to come until the last minute.

then "authorities" grant some / deny some

"individuals" decide whether they are going or not based on their level of commitment to the issues

then "authorities" violate the permits they grant and harass anyone who does not respect their "authority"

[FluxRostrum]

There will likely be lawsuits over this shit for years but that does nothing to save the rights that were violated NOW.

[garydowens]

the city of pittsburgh made it a point to delay and deny permits.

[eihwazone]

Thank you garydowens, FluxRostrum told me.... unbeliveable! The system works for Madoff but not for peaceful assembly. We better wake up!!

[Irawdom]

Everyone keeps complaining about rights. You have no rights. If you did this shit wouldn't be happening. But power doesn't give a fuck about the rights you think you have.

[DoctorBimbles]

They can label ANY of you as a terrorist and lock you away for as long as they want without evidence or trial. We DO NOT love in a free country. We only think we do.

These protesters are the real heroes!

[ExoticGawdess]

At 11:55 the police violated that female cyclist's American rights and violated the Posse Comitatus Act while doing so.

They are guilty of treason. They must be prosecuted for their crime of violating their oath to protect and to serve We the People. They are not paid to serve the treasonous basturds who've usurped the highest government offices of this nation. We the People will not allow the police to enforce a Police State on the behalf of criminal corporate fascists pigs in silencing truth.

[ExoticGawdess]

The Shitsburgh police are idiots who are violate the Posse Comitatus Act when they assault Americans for peacefully protesting our criminal government.

If our police or military take these fascist actions using ear-damaging technology, batons, teargas on peaceful protesters then the police and military are behaving treasonously and they may be put in prison or put on death row after a speedy trial.

There's a chance that they are not Americans, that such forces are Blackwater foreign militias.

[mikezephyr]

0:50

i believe it is Pinky and the Brain good sir, but no matter, you're hilarious and exude good vibes.

[godfatherNYC]

i'm sorry but we have a right to walk with fucking protest signs in this country. fuck these police for escalating the violence and infringing on our rights. what if you live on that block??? are you not allowed to stand in front of your own house??? imagine telling some farmer they can't stand on their own property. their tune would change REALLY quickly, and they would find themselves on the same side as these protestors.

this saddens and sickens me. we have the right to peaceful protest.

[garydowens]

shit if you said that to a farmer you'd find yourself on the other side of a shotgun and i bet it ain't got a fuckin bean bag in it.

[godfatherNYC]

totally.

[LunaNL]

aresting there own people under the name of theroristme sick country

[aldell1]

don't you guys get it. This is so called democracy is action. There is a huge misconception of what capitalism is. What you are protesting is corporatism, not free market capitalism. They are erasing the borders just as you are requesting, in order to gain access to cheap labor & natural resources, all in the name of spreading democracy & prosperity. The only chance we have is to restore the republic, & put the people back in charge, to insist on adherence to the constitutional limitations.

[bootysweetcare]

hah nice..chatting with hot girls via cam is hotter though go to BestBangz . com and see for urself

[dsmall94]

i love these signs are like fuck capitalism we aren't a capitalist system we are closer to socialism which is close to communism so these people want to fucked like this and not have there freedom and this protest have nothing to do with shit and these kids these think that there cool for fighting the government

[Conail23]

the mayor and police chief should be fired!!!

[PillowcaseHead]

"You must leave the vicinity, no matter what your purpose is"...

Like trying to get to my home?

[FluxRostrum]

NO. Like sitting in my living room.

locals with their windows open got gassed too.

this was a direct message to legal observers and journalists. EXTREMELY unconstitutional.

[PillowcaseHead]

Yes, it is. With the clause "Whatever your purpose is", it gives temporary totalitarian powers in an area;

[dsmall94]

yes you would have been escorted by police when the riot is over cause this is an dangerous area

[PillowcaseHead]

America didn't win it's independence with picket signs and yelling, so why do you think it's citizens will maintain their freedoms doing the same?

[22popuser]

Mayor Ravenstahl, the world was horrified watching your unlawful enforcers take on tactics of ruthless dictators. Like gangland thugs, your four thousand mercenaries used fear and intimidation to achieve unconstitutional ends.

In two days your plan to save shop windows shattered two centuries of world renowned freedom. Then and now you cannot see the atrocity youve committed. Your brief reign of terror has permanently tarnished the image of Pittsburgh and America. Pack your bags.

[wanderingeyes11]

man those guys at the end were so ready to crack some skulls. This footage is a brief glimps of what america's streets will look like in less than a year. sad thing is not many americans know whats going on or really even care.......until they start breaking down actual doors to peoples houses then it'll be way too late

[OmegablueWolf]

seriously if it comes to that then enough Americans will find out - and then you'll get your 'great second revolution' but if it was as bad as all of these people think ? THIS VIDEO WOULDN'T BE OUT HERE none of them would. if this were becoming a police state then we'd see anti-government posts removed and those protesters ? they would have been shot. "but they were" WITH RUBBER BULLETS not a 5.56mm FMJ round.

[FluxRostrum]

yeah, you're right we should just wait until it's too late to stop it before we mention that it's coming.

[garydowens]

they let us talk and spit so we can "let it out" and "Feel better" and have the ILLUSION of freedom. But the MOMENT you actually attempt to DO something.....

[gregiscoo]

I think the black guy at the beginning of the video sums this all up. Yes the protesters are crazy radicals, because it is more than obvious they do not understand what is really going on. For being such a brave bunch there is quite a few who won't even show their faces.

[FluxRostrum]

You have absolutely no comprehension skills. watch it again in slo mo and maybe you can understand what he is is saying.

[poosaypirate]

*YAWN*

hopefully tear gas, harassment and  and arrests of non protesters comes to your neighborhood soon jack-off

[FluxRostrum]

the black guy at the beginning was on the side of the protesters.

and what's wrong with jackin off? anyway. LAYDA

LaughinAtYourDumbAss

[garydowens]

uh, hey, dummy, the mask is for the unexpected GAS!! you know, the kind the COPS LIKE TO THROW AT INNOCENT PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS!

[MayonR]

please look up "G20: Epic Undercover Police Fail" so you are aware police use the black bloc tactic to justify police brutality on peaceful demonstrators. I absolutely love the title page in this video.lol

[LikeSheHas]

Scary Stuff! Not even at the summit meeting place, yet people are still harassed and bullied. I suppose the police had a budget that needed to be spent...and weapons that needed testing. It seems americans are no longer allowed to protest anything related to globalisation/new world order... next stop ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT!

its good to hear from people who were actually there - thankyou for your presence! and bravery!

[poosaypirate]

thats the real problem right there is the POLICE BUDGET-. protesters , unfortunately because they are not behaving wisely, are only increasing the budget with each protest, i find it concerning , as an understatement.

all you(they) are doing is training the police and increasing the budget, find a more effective way next time please and dont insist that im the one who should tell you what and how either- want a free America bad enough? sort it out yourselves

[6ch6ris6]

peaceful demonstrators are treated like terrorists.

the system is afraid of us. it is afraid of the next revolution. maybe the final revolution.

no state. no god. no authority.

just freedom and peace.

(A)

[bweazel]

The rise of the secret police right here. They shipped in over 2500 cops from around the country to help with riot control. Problem is there wasn't a riot. Rise of the secret police, people. Here they come.

[nizkorn2]

the cops waz stoping the peacefull protesters from geting to the g 20 summet to protest there minds. but they did not let them get passd there controll greed so they gased the sound cannan the shit out of every one cuz the protesters was not going any where and make them look bad and the g20 now we can have that now can we? lol

[nizkorn2]

yes thats why they protest to show u the force te plain to use on us to controll us and that they have no respect for humen life but there own global elite's we give them money to do this "taxe's"

[GA4WI]

It is sad to see this type of force being used on peaceful protesters and innocent bystanders.

[errrzarrr]

young peaceful unarmed kids being represed with more force, technologies and HARDER than if they were criminals, terrorists, corrupt politicians or bankers. Attacking their own people as if they were a Foreing ARMED TERRORIST ENEMY!

OmG! this system is just bad.

[Vleesball]

i wonder how much money that icecream man made that day :p

[connecttoyourenergy]

American people are weak!!!!!!!!!!!

[IndigoVagrant]

The Monetary System, which is the true religion of modern society, MUST BE BROUGHT DOWN.

It is time for human kind to evolve and progress to new modes of thought with technology leading a new world of equality, cultural pluralism, and denouncement of ethnocentrism!

[WarDogLRS]

Government: Literally means mind control. (Latin: Gobernus Mente)

Gobernus (Latin): Means guide or control.

Mente (Latin): Means Mind.

It's all simply a loosely woven fabric of understood or implied meanings that our subconscious mind is sure to see.

It's time to go watch some TV now. The show 'Lost' is on and I wouldn't want to miss it.

Surely the name of the show has no bearing on who we are and where we are going. It's all just coincidence.

[ryanshaunkelly]

8 more years just like the last 8?

Gates speaks as if he is a Cheney clone.

Judeofascists loved promoting their "Islamofascism" propaganda.

Carrots(bribery) Sticks(murder) Coercive Diplomacy(extortion & blackmail).

Did you see all the same bloodthirsty AIPAC-paid recycled neocon shills on TV selling more war for profit?

Watch as they pretend to know nothing of the mounting 9/11 evidence, whistleblowers, & leaks that point to them

[nottinmatterz2day]

thanks for the vid

[AmericanoLib]

I think its pretty funny how people support capitalism and the police.....police institution is socialism, as well as education, highway, fire, public transportation not to mention about a million other things that many of us don't even get to use. Capitalism alone does not work! There are reasons why these institutions were set up and are in place....so in actuality all you "capitalists" that support police, firemen, public education and dpw are nothing more that no good dirty commies....

[majorMcpharter]

World capitalism is obsolete and long past its sell by date.Time to dump this rotten dog eat dog rat race into the trash bin of history.

[alansilvestri]

One of the best things I have read this days behind The G-20 Videos I think the same,very well said.

regards

Alan

[majorMcpharter]

Let us all help to speed the day when this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit of all humanity.

[hartforest]

"No Banks, No Borders" ?

I was under the impression that it was in the name of the hallowed Economy that borders have become porous, if truly extant at all. A depersonalized, displaced, and a monocultured "homo economicus" (aka "equality"/ "humanity") seems to be what both you and "the banks" desire.

[BankScamTakeover]

The idea of capitalism is a good idea, we need trade and units of exchange. The problem is that CROOKS run and built the system. Put decent people in charge, and the world would work much better.

[RJMyato]

"trade and units of exchange" are present in other economic systems besides capitalism, you know.

[mattgudge]

Slavery made this country strong/rich buddy, and It still does. Corporations control you cradle to grave as well.

[lastpatriot4America]

Capitalism made this country strong children. Hitler and Stalin thought Socialism was a good idea. That way they could control you from cradle to grave. Capitalism is all of us being able to start a business or invent or design. and that makes us strong. Our industries have all been moved over seas or to mexico. Our own government said Americans did not want to work,so that is why the illegals are here.WRONG. It is because they are cheap labor and used to tyranny. easy to beat down.

[MrBillymayshere]

that nigga is crazy the world is shit and you guys are the cancer that killin humantiy

[143tbone]

Flux,

You did a pretty good job of covering this.

Thank you.

[RebelRouserTexas]

yawn!! protesting works as much as voting does.. if it actually worked, they would be both illegal. These people are all dupes.. Capitalism isn't the fucking problem. The G20 is Communism and the protesters are basically inviting communism in to replace Capitalism.

[RJMyato]

The G20 summit is all about globalization, free market economics, and lassiez-faire capitalism further the exploitation of the third world. This is what we as protesters were against, whether we were communists, socialists, or anarchists. In other words - no, you're wrong, you have it completely backwards, and you're part of the problem.

[RebelRouserTexas]

just as I thought.. most of the protesters were either communists, socialists, or anarchists. Either way they are nothing more than the Hegelian Dialectic of the G20. I bet most if not all the funding that came in to organize such rallies were funds received from the G20. Corporate fascism is NOT freemarket capitalism. It was never freemarket capitalism that turned Russia and it's satellite nations into the Soviet Union. You people need to seriously go study no-revisionist history.

[IndigoVagrant]

generalization, communists, socialists, and anarchists only make up a minority of the protesters.

Get our facts straight.

[Gravalgia]

Most of these protesters are not communists, socialists, or anarchists. Just because they wear black clothes and not a cowboy hat doesn't mean they are not fighting for our constitution and way of life. Are u saying that we should not stand up to the NWO? Not to stand up for our liberties? What kind of Rebel R U? lol Come on and help us out man.

[michoacanoixoye]

why not your confront the police to th other ways no only with, cantics or letters giants. for do you listen it you need something more agrssive like a trought bottles, sticks stones, molotov cockteils.

like in europe do you remember the riots in france or grecce?

sometimes the only way that the govermenter listen us is with the violence.

the people of united states are coward or whats happend?

teh people in mexico not that way

[michoacanoixoye]

gringos and you can see that my people is not cowardly to face up to the ultimate, to the army.

if you do not believe me watch the videos of Oaxaca and Atenco Look for them here in you to be.

[michoacanoixoye]

we the people are going to remove this president who won with electoral fraud in my country and we have to head to poverty and social backwardness.

that you would have to be afraid of cops assholes at a summit where the people have the right.

[batwingedloony]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the United States of Iran!

[Algonus]

"I want to add myself to the group so that people know that it's a big... thing, that there's... something being said:"

Sums up the mentality of 90% of the people at these protests. They're not there because they're unhappy, they're there so they might be on TV or a popular Youtube video. But I guess that's the most they can hope to accomplish anyway.

[RJMyato]

haha what the hell dude? That's not what I meant by that comment at all. Actually I don't even know how you could get that out of it. I was pretty clearly saying that I wanted to be a part of putting out the message that a large number of people ARE very unhappy with the policies of the G20 "leaders."

[RJMyato]

I'm the weirdo in the Saberteeth shirt in this video. I wish I could've been more eloquent but I did the best I could. Thanks for making this and being there.

[Thrashaero]

that replaying message from the loudspeakers is creepy. sort of reminds me a bit of the scale of the iran election protests.

[wheresthebody]

how long until the real conflict begins?

[lookupwakeup]

Amazing. I hope all the cops and military aren't as brainwashed as the ones here are. This is America? Just following orders sir. FOOLS!!! that will fall along with all of us if they don't wake the hell up.

[OMGWereScrewed]

thanx for sharing!

[TreesOfBaylor]

what a bunch of faggots

[FluxRostrum]

Hey everybody, I think he means it as a compliment. look at his video of feeding his pet gerbil a very phallic baby carrot.

[TreesOfBaylor]

Lololol. you mad? gonna protest about it? lololol

[FluxRostrum]

no. I don care if you stick a gerbil up your ass. It's your ass.

[TreesOfBaylor]

lololololololol

[OctopusDropkick]

To understand why people are protesting against the G20, those watching these YouTube videos should read Ha-Joon Chang's books at the very least.

[meff777]

impotent liberal rage.

most of these people don't even know what they are protesting against. there is no unified and succinct message.

the right has protesting right because they have a purpose. the left just wander around madly and confused as to what is really killing democracy and our society.

[FluxRostrum]

just because you refuse to allow yourself to understand why they are protesting does not mean They, don't know. I've heard a lot of people saying "They don't even know why their protesting" lately and the truth is YOU don't know cause YOU won't Hear the answers when given so fuck off.

[tylerleebash]

you're damn right.... anyone who has the nerve to say "they don't know" is truly uneducated and close-minded. i say, fuck them. let them rot while we prevail through liberty. they are no longer the majority.

[elpoo]

word

[Thrashaero]

I kind of agree, but are you saying the right is protesting more effectively to get their message out or that the message of their protest is better?

Because you could also say the right is just madly blabbing about obama this, socialism that, without knowing shit on what's killing society.

But this protesting doesn't have a specific cause. it's just 'we want things to be better' almost...

[rentedhalo]

meff777: the right know what they're protesting against?? have you watched some of the tea party videos? those people hadn't a clue what they were doing - but were whipped into a frenzy by right-wing shock jocks... the radical left is often led by students who know about social institutions and dynamics, as well as counter culture intelligentsia and those who take the time to look at the system we live in and realize that the american dream doesn't exist save for a few. read some books man.

[TacoBill83]

meff777: I completely agree with you. they wonder around whining and complaining about everything. Same ppl that would sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide or DHMO. They dont think, just run around being unproductive and crying.

[oscarcabezon]

Organizaciones de Izquierda de Estados Unidos, Mexico y Latino America unamonos para cambiar al mundo, el capitalismo representa hambrunas, guerras, violencia, represion, si fueramos capaces de unirnos que hermoso y que cercano seria el futuro!!!!.

Hello im from mexico, congratulation for your job in this channel in youtube,so alone remember one thing "the capitalism is wrong, the capitalism is not a solution"

See you my friend

[rentedhalo]

the footage of the trucks pushing the marchers and the looped dispersal order gave me the fuckin creeps! thanks for taking the gas so those of us who couldn't go could see...

[FluxRostrum]

just for the record. I did not loop the disperal order. it was blasted at us repeatedly all afternoon. There was no place any group of 30 or more could go without hearing that shit... the immediate vicinity was.. Pittsburgh.

[rentedhalo]

i didn't think you'd looped it - it sounded like it was a loop playing from the truck - having dispersal orders taped and looped while following you guys around makes it pretty clear that they were not caring where the hell you went as long as it was outta town... too bad nobody any way to pop the tires on their stupid fucking trucks... they're probably airless though :/ we need to import some Grecians into this mofo - they really know how to turn the tables on the cops...

[LikeSheHas]

Indeed the Grecians are a rambunctious and determined bunch!

[ameribornnews]

This Rev i san idiot.

[vashguud]

Why the hell are soldiers arresting citizens when a policeman is right next to him, the arrest at end of the tape. The amount of force used, the offensive language. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL for a soldier. The whole thing is a Pathetic use of force and I for one plan on voting against Democrats over this. Someone has to be held accountable at the polls.

[803brando]

more so, with the proper reel of tape, a well funded and motivated person can take this to a supreme court. 18 U.S.C. § 1385: Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits use of federal uniformed services on U.S. citizens while on non-federal property.

[vashguud]

But it says unless authorized by congress. Which would mean it has to be in a bill that's been passed into law. Question I would ask the Army commander of the event is what bill is the one that they are using the authority. Also means Congress and President are responsible for the conduct.

[803brando]

yes that is true, it is not an interpretative type law. The only way it would be justified, is a declaration of marshal law by the president for a specific reason or natural disaster for that area. Its not a vague law in any sense.

[FluxRostrum]

Bush did away with posse comitatis.. we don't have that protection anymore.

[seamoremonster]

It's good to see our own side out on the streets. Hard work. Good on you and Reverend Billy! Why haven't the police put a bitch slap on the gun totting, goose-stepping, Tea-Baggers?

[zakitsong]

I appreciate the effort, brother - thank you for filming.

[MrPenPenThePenguin86]

woooooooooooot!! GO POLICE AND MILITARY!!

[medicinesocks]

tremendous reportage once again, flux r.

just look at this, people. this is the state of democracy and freedom of assembly,of speech and of our 1st amendment right to petition the gov with grievances, today, on the streets of pittspurgh. the pitts or what?

[FluxRostrum]

I made up a chant that I could nor get anyone to go along with... "This is what Democracy has come to" ... instead of "looks like"

[hiimwhiteboy]

yup, why vote, they already have it planned

[medicinesocks]

why do anything, ever? to take a stand. whether it's counted or not, you've stood for something. resist the damn plan! stand up for what you believe.

[Drakul1234]

Damn I wish I could be in Pittsburgh right now

[divinacomedias]

What's up with the ambulance?

[FluxRostrum]

They were using Ambulances as snatch squad vehicles ie (full of cops)

[divinacomedias]

Act of Perfidy...

[archivegrl]

soylent green is people

[BickeyMan]

The people protesting need their own private army to protect them. I'm sure their's a legal way to do it for next time

[iTellYouNoLie]

11:35 national guard

[skinnychef]

keep it up, morselito!

xoxox

skinnychef

[imjustagirl776]

I've been looking all over the InterTubes looking for unbiased real reporting on this event and so far your videos are the best. Thanks for dashing into the fray and showing people what is *really* happening in Pittsburgh right now. You rock, Flux.

[imjustagirl776]

8:22 LOL, Yup.

[believersunderground]

great job Scott (BUG)

[MikePhilbin]

today's gonna be ever more thousands of protestors after yesterday's attacks from the Forces .... stay together, stay in formation.

[EchelonMonitor]

Great job man.

Notice how the corporate media is trying to say there are hundreds of protesters, when your videos clearly show there are thousands.

[PeaceInPGH]

Thanks for posting this video It's great to see the folks of the 'Burgh & the World standing up for what is right.

[Tritium8]

thx flux

[Frequencitee]

I am so fucking tired of hearing this bullshit about patriotism and patriots who say "don't do anything violent...that's exactly what they want us to do."

You know what, fuck that! There is no velvet revolution answer to this shit. The quote/ unquote Anarchists are the only one's with enough passion and guts to confront these globalist pigs head on.

The terrorists here are the globalist pigs. The easiest way to identify them is by their riot gear and their inaction against globalization.

[historicalamerica000]

hmm...are you an agent provocatuer?

[meeputube]

Rock on Mr. Flulx man sir.

[AlexFate101]

TY for posting.

[TheBigHo111]

Who were the people with weapons??? Who were the ones shooting off tear gas??? Who were the ones snatching up people???

Thanks Flux for what you do. *****

[FluxRostrum]

um.. was it the cops?

"~)

[nihilozero]

TY Very much for this video! Gonna show it to everyone I know! F the G-20!

[NewsIF]

respect for anarchists !
