News Flash - this is a lawless country. This is a police state. You think you have rights but you don't. If you ask for your rights, they project you as a terrorist and under that act, they look through girls bedroom, through clothes. They intercept your phone lines. Not just surveil, but intercept. you call somewhere, their bitch pretends to be operator picks up the phone and then transfers you to wrong number. Costing you minutes + money+ add bogus internet charges onphone. Surveillance abuz
That is what cops always do. They play of people's fears. They tell the common man, if you don't give me the money (money = power) to take care of this person (their personal enemy framed as a criminal or even a terrorist, they have no limits) or this summit, then we can't guarantee your security. They lie left right center. Make up false threats. Capitalize on common man's fears and steal the common man's money, to become more powerful against the common man in the end.

@canwhitewolf RISE UP THEN. "What will you do without freedom? Will you fight? Fight and you may die; run, and you'll live, at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, how many of you would be willing to trade all the days, from that one to this, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives but they'll never take our freedom? ALBA GU BRA! (FREEDOM
The trend is to have enough laws to effectively "criminalize" everybody thus enabling the police to selectively arrest whomever they want at the bidding of their masters. It worked like a charm at the G20. We "the people" are almost irrelevant and have no real rights, just imagined ones.
he said it best black bloc stop giving our police and politicians reasons to impose draconian laws show that we can do this peacefully and reasponsibaly. we are not brutes and bullies we are peaceloving protestors that want to make a differance
@BoredomCorner i know this but people in the black bloc generaly since it is always ifultrated and run by the cops even start attacking protestors that are there with a real voice and real ideas. not trying to creat a panic police state where even the peacefull are seen as a potencial threat. itd not right that we that go out in a peacefull manner get grouped in with this group of young influencial kids looking for somthing to be a part of run by cops mascarading as protestors.
pff... They do this in Chile all the time. All protests are crushed here the same way. The media helps justify police abuses by focusing on the usually five to ten people that cover their faces and break some public trash bin. And repeat the same image over and over. Those people who destoyed public property are usually riot police dressed like civilians. For some reason they're never arrested.
Brilliant hard hitting bit of journalism. I was with the Real News crew when they were attacked.
The more the state hit us and attack us the more they secure their own downfall.
Machine men with machine hearts and machine minds are no match to sentient humans with love in their hearts. Not to sound like Mr Randy Pan the Hippy Boy, but you all know what I mean
I still quetion how the police don't have morality... to think "what I'm doing is wrong.. why am I doing this?" I think we need some of the police who were there with a conscious to speak out.
after hearing some police say to some one who stood up for his rights to not be searched and I.D say "this isin't Canada" I ask how any Canadian could say that to another Canadian.
@minkorrh I suppose people like you would have rather let Iraq attack any innocent country it pleased to steal its resources and rape it's women right? What's a few women raped right?
@Pyroman2525 a wise precaution given the war going on. They were compensated later on. Again, the freedoms of all Canadians were not effected, but rather they were protected with this necessary action.
@minkorrh The US had every right to attack Iraq. Iraq was in violation of several UN sanctions against it and the UN refused to do anything against it like they were supposed to. The reason why the UN wouldn't do anything is because France was doing buisness with Iraq (against UN sanctions and helping pay the salary of the UN Chairman with the profits). The entire war against Iraq started with Iraq attacking Kuwait (sp?) and soldiers raping nurses and other women there.
I am more appalled at those protesters that just stood there watching these guys in black destroying property.
We need to stick together. Yes, Protect one another & that includes giving our support to the very Police that lay their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
And when we see that they are out numbered, then we should help them & NOT work against them.
AGAIN, IF THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST, OUR POLICE WOULD HAVE TREATED THE PROTESTERS WITH RESPECT.
@OMGaNEWBIE At no point were they outnumbered in the events you mention. One question: what if the police attacks peaceful demonstrators? Does the duty to support them stretch to supporting them when they abuse their power? "AGAIN, IF THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST, OUR POLICE WOULD HAVE TREATED THE PROTESTERS WITH RESPECT. " Again, just looking at the facts would blow this sweet illusion of yours clear out the window.
A peaceful protest would NOT have brought out the strong arm tactics by the Police.
Why didn't the peaceful protesters try & stop those that were smashing windows, looting & fire bombing Police cars?????
To prevent a repeat of the previous days violent attacks, and being out numbered by protestors, YES, the Police took extreme measures to contain the crowds.
Come on now, our Police do treat us with respect under normal situations. This was NOT a peaceful protest!
Please, Please, Please don't tell me that u buy into this surface, conspiracy crap. Please!
I made a long 3 post section on one of these G20 sites, & for the life of me I can't find it, to just copy it & paste it here.
Think, PLEASE I BEG U TO THINK FOR U'R SELF. There's criminals. We hire police to get them. Undercover cops HAVE to infiltrate these organizations to get to the secret head leaders. And how to they do that?
@rotopope **Pt. 2 ** Think, pls THINK! I know that U really do know the answer to that question. They made so many movies showing this very thing. The cops in Quebec were undercover cops. Unfortunately they were recognized & their cover blown. Another poster stated that he too, at one time belonged to the Black Bloc & it's hard to infiltrate them because the crowd keeps changing. The damage created by these BB depends on the crowd of the moment. So it very hard to get to the (con't pt 3)
@rotopope **Pt. 3** the top guy, let alone figure out who he is. The other post I mentioned I made, had a much better explanation. U know that if U want to join the Mafia, Drug Dealers, BB etc (U get the pic), then U have to prove u'r self. Right? Riiiiiight!!! So, if they want U to steal, U steal. They want U to punch someone out, U punch someone out etc. The more U prove u'r self, the higher U climb. Higher = Top Guy. U need solid evidence to make a court case stick.
@rotopope ** Pt 4** So why buy into everything that U see from people with a hidden agenda. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed some of the things Alex Jones or copy cats posted, but most things are just for sensationalism for ppl like U support his/their agenda, which he/they profits from. If U truly believe that it was some sort of conspiracy theory then only God can help you.
Genuine ignorance is... profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness;

Excellent reporting. This should be mainstream, but sadly we know that will NEVER happen in this corrupt media world, owned by a handful of criminals.
this is extrememly disturing. I really want to see what Canadians will do about it. I thought Canada was one of the most free countries in the world. I was going up to see Niagara Falls. Not anymore, I cannot give my money to that...
Thank you for the report - Hopefully more Canadians will stand up for Canada.

This is the time for us to speak up. Don't wait for your government to do it. Political positioning in the G20 is clearly more important to your government than the Canadian Constitution.
Geez, this guy is wrong on so many fronts it is hard to make a comment and catch everything. I'll start with the entire event cost 1 billion not security alone. He mentions that they want to get debt down and this will destroy his socialist dream, look at Greece, this is what the leaders are trying to prevent. That is two of the things he is wrong about. He did get the odd thing correct. The black bloc is the reason for the temp laws and the real target for legitimate protestors and the cops.
send this to every cop you know (soviet story on mefeedia dot com) they are setting up their own detention and death camps because IF tyranny takes over the cops who helped bring this about will be eliminated first.
Police provocateurs where caught years ago ( Nothing Happened ) Outrage over the billion spent ( Nothing Happened ) There telling you they dont care by even holding this farce . There dictators struting around on the world stage . At least when nero strutted around the roman peasants where smart enough to undesrstand he was a dictator ........... The peasants of today are so dumbed down with popculture , TV propoganda ect
@StraussBR Show me ONE example in the history Canada or the United States where one of our elected governments was given too much power and took away our liberties.... shouldn't be too difficult if history is as full of examples as you claim.
@StraussBR Hmmm, so much for history being full of examples. You can't take liberty away from people living in a dictatorship. Again, give me an example of an ELECTED government taking away liberties!!! You can't, and this is what this is all about. Fear mongering. Protestors go there to cause trouble, and then complain about it. What did they expect, a warm welcome?! As for historical examples, there are lots of historical examples of "peaceful protests" causing damage to public property
@NiteHackr Have you been living under a rock for the past decade? What the hell do you think george w bush was doing when he was in office?
a) he had the power to 'go to war'. he and his govt. used and abused that power with false pretenses to move into Iraq.
b) new laws were drafted that basically gave him impunity and made it considerably more difficult for the average person to have any freedom of movement. Police can now search without cause etc.
Terrorism was designed for you , the think tank studies are telling you there going to turn this Inwards ( onto you ) When they start pulling the plug on your energy etc there expecting 30 years of rioting ... What the hell do you think your smart meters and climate change propogana is all about .... There ready to destroy anyone and everyone that stands up to the new system there bring in .
Dont you people get it , this is what orwell warned you about .
This is actually one of the first true news reports with COMMON SENSE I've seen in a long long time, ... under piles and piles of propaganda is there still a chance for common sense to show people where are we going??
This situation is absurd.
We need more and more reporters and reports like this, keep up the excellent work, theRealNews!
@shlarl - there's no doubt about that!! I've just not seen Paul do one before, so it seemed in stark contrast to the usual objective TRN content. I've been following the events of the G20 conference, and am appalled.
That is Correct Sir... It is very easy to spot the provocateurs... The crowd needs to turn on them and demask them. Prove to the faux news that police are setting those things up.
I think the leaders need to remember they are elected by the people to represent the people, they are not our rulers and must work to make our existence a better one. They seem to of lost there grasp of what they are doing and for what reasons. There will be a revolution one day and it will be a bloody fight, i think it will be within the next 5 years. History shows the cycle will repeat, just because we now have technology and modern lives, it will happen now and in another 1000 years. WAKE UP
Paul Jay is the man and he's never been afraid to raise these troubling realities that we as citizens now have to confront: a globalized world run by leaders who claim to be democratic while hiding behind high walls, fences, and legions of police and soldiers and making arbitrary decisions that affect the lives of countless millions of people around the world. Global capitalism is out of control and can only be countered by a global, federated, and democratic union - the world's people united.
Black Block people were seen hanging around plain clothes nazi's (sorry police) with beating sticks when they (around 50) dragged people off one by one and threatened protestors to back the fuck off or get assaulted.
The two police cars were left there on purpose, the black block destroying property were left alone whilst police blocked off near by streets before moving in (only after the black block had moved on and removed their clothing to blend in) and thus the nazi's powers started.
Black Bloc tactics have to be used very carefully, and as it is a tactic more so than an organization, you often get morons breaking things without any consideration as to why. This is not to say, however, that there has never been effective utilization of property destruction and self defense by a bloc of any kind. In a "post-Seattle" world, this tactic has lost one of its most important characteristics:surprise. When the police are counting on a bloc, it's hard to accomplish much.Fight smart.
By passing a stronger Health Care Reform bill, reducing deficits by reducing waste in productive ways you know.
Also, you're an idiot. Blair said that the "Black Bloc" (stop putting a damn k on it too) is not an organization by itself, only the term used for the TACTICS being used by the organization in question.The demonstrations that were well-planned and organized were done in cooperation with the police forces. Infiltrating a group that has a history of crime is not surprising either.
"We are bankers. We are gods. And you, whiny little proletariat, will feel the jackboots of our political thugs on your throat if you question our divine right to rule over you. We own ALL of your politicians. We control the debates. Our lawyers, lobbiests, and corporate media companies manipulate your laws, opinions, and consumer desires because you, useless eaters, are too simple-minded to stop voting for either of our political 'parties'. Thank you for your continued patronage, slaves."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Aren't there larger problems to talk about like the oil spill or famine in Africa or global warming, things that affect lives of millions or even of the whole planet. Instead, you had the nerve asking for more donations just because you spend too much, covering the G20 meeting. Huh? I am all for human rights, but how these nose-bled protesters compare to 10 million people including 800,000 children dying in Niger RIGHT NOW? This is where you should be spending the money donated to you.
Did not miss a thing! Even you can't or won't explain what the protest is about so apparently the message is not getting out or is not worth getting out!
I don't watch the news to have rhetorical "ifs" thrown in! "If" the moon were made of green cheese, "if" there were no poverty, "if" only the media could report the "real news" and not the "if" something is true or "if" is not true the world would be a better place! Speak up and be heard or move out of the way!
And the unspoken editorial in what you choose to cover in the beginning of the video and the tone of that is; that you think that austerity is bad, that deficits are good, and that governments 'should' spend vastly more than they bring in, as a matter of routine. That or your supposed solution is 'tax the rich' as if you've never heard of the laffer curve. Or perhaps we should just run the printing presses they way they do in hyperinflation Zimbabwe? There is nothing 'real' about this news.
Absolutely the people will accept this. As long as the people have their bread and circuses, they will do nothing to oppose despotism. Next election they will switch parties of course, but that's ok, because because the parties change very little, they are all part of the same boy's club. The election after that, they will switch back again, and still nothing will change. The change does not come from government, not by changing government, and certainly not from yet more government.
Sick of the Black Bloc bashing! There was no black bloc in Germany and look what the Nazi's did to peaceful civilians. People have the right to fight back.
@YodadogProductions I sugguest everyone watch the video titled "quebec police admit going undercover at montebello protests" here on youtube. The black block wasn't REALLY free of police. They did it, so they could do what they did next. The video to watch shows cops caught on film in the act of trying to incite a riot at a protest along w/ news report were the police ADMIT it was their people. SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS!!! RN should defin. help expose these actions.
If this is the real news then why so many "ifs"! If the police has infiltrated the black block. "If" the police knew where they were going to be! IF if if! Give me a break, arrested citizens on their way to work! Even these slanted video show people atagonizing the police. What is Gods name are these people demonstrating about! It is not in the news, it not on CNN ABC, CBS FOX. Someone tell us what the demonstration is about!
@rgray222 if you don't know what the protests are about, you should research it and THEN make up your OWN opinion. At the very least, the simple fact that those protests "are not in the news" should be a hint that something's going on...
How can you tell this report is slanted if you don't even know what the protests are about? (seriously?).
And the "ifs" in the report are used rhetorically, not as conditionals... Did you really miss that, or are you the one who's "slanted"?
Unfortunately yes it is the shape of things to come and I think it's going to get a lot worse. The whole country can complain all they want but it will fall on deaf ears. You might as well talk to the wall, you'll get more out of it.
@Crustanarchy I also totally disaprove of the black bloc tatics at the G20. I think the best thing everybody should have done is to have boycotted the event and the area completely. This way they would have spent all that money for nothing and sent them a message more louder and clearer than smashing a police car or smashing store windows.
There is alot of footage of police causing trouble at these types of events, so much so that I am amazed that people even bother to attend. You fools are changing nothing and being put on lists. Canadians do not have the right to discuss violent overthrow of our government. Canadian people are property. We have no rights that can not be instantly revoked. Either accept being a slave or rise up but please stop dancing like puppets for your masters.
love the piece thank you for standing up for what u believe in, but why do u still speak of Canada as a Democratic country since you know more than anyone that is just another Colony of the crown...
I see this and feel sadness and fear for the future of my country. I know how politically docile Canadians are, so I doubt we will hold our leaders responsible for this reckless display of indifference, and utter contempt, toward the rights of ordinary Canadians and a free press. I hope I'm wrong. The police are behaving like hired thugs in some third world country! Is this really the shape of things to come? If it is I'm heading for a banana republic with better weather!
So the Real News finds out that the fight is not right v. left or smart v. dumb or black v. white or young v. old or man v. woman or articulate v. inarticulate. The fight is freedom v. tyranny.
As a Canadian citizen I am very angry at what looks like a blatant abuse of both taxpayer dollars and the government legislative and police powers. In both cases, it looks like blatant overkill. I'm not against security measures, but arbitrarily attacking journalists and people in parks does not make up for the absence of adequate police enforcement when a bunch of vandals are allowed to run free.
A billion dollars for this!!
If we all contact our MP about this, it might make a difference.
And my right to say what I want also, my bad for saying what I want in a public forum.
cheers! too bad, nothing better to do than look for trouble to get into... I do have an idea, too bad I'm a hard working, conservative, democratic Canadian. Too bad most of the protesters were not even from the Toronto area or even Canada for that matter.
Democratic rights? What about the right to stay the fuck away from these areas, then nothing would happen to you! You chose to go down into those zones, so whatever happened to you, you asked for!
@DRoc1543 that is absolutely ridiculous. Going into a zone that a group defines arbitrarily as repressive doesn't make repression intrinsically legitimate. That is the same as saying you have no right to resist any dictatorship, only the right to move. Even more, the police attacked arbitrarily pacifist groups outside the area...
@DRoc1543 You sir, are incorrect. Those zones were designated for protest.. And those zones happen to be downtown Toronto. No one asked for anything. You on the other hand are asking for totalitarian government and you will likely get it.. then again, your likely part of it already.
Outstanding report. I love the part about 1939 document 8)))))))) "...to protect a public figures from German assassins..." Baaaaahahahahaha what a tragedy-comedy! Where are we going to...
As for police infiltration of the Black Block, that's old news. That's what tyrannical gov'ts do. The Turkish secret police did that to Armenians in 1915, agitating the rubes into violent action, then gunning them down. At Black Panther rallies in 1970, party attendees were outmanned by fake "panthers" who were there specifically to foment violence.
.
If you don't like living in a police state, you might want to do something about it.
... and all that will help the multi national banks loot the future rich nations just as they did with the current developed nations and then they can own everyone and everything
it seems to me that the plan for the global will be as such in the future: developing nations will be improving the life conditions of their people and direct them more towards consumption so that they can temporarily take that load off of the developed nations' citizens which can not consume any more because they are individually in deep debt.. and then the developed nations would be forced to become similar to third world nations to produce the products that the new rich countries will need
raise taxes for the rich... that's how you cut your deficit by 50%.
raise the fucking taxes!
i about to make an assload of money from some stocks in a new medical device.... when looking over my possible profit, then the taxes i'll have to pay on it, i still have a huge fucking smile on my face!
Greece's "social safety net" was under attack... THEY SPENT THEMSELVES INTO BANKRUPTCY!!! It has nothing to do with it being "under attack" and everything to do with a stupid nation drowning in credit and socialism. Also, look at all those "peaceful" protesters, what did Pizza Hut do to them to deserve their store windows be broken. Engaging in politics does not equal angry mobs that destroy public property. KOODOS TO THE POLICE....
@NiteHackr you are doing exactly what the corporation want you to do, which is to compare a nation to a family... it is true that a family should not spend more than what they make in a specific period of time, but a nation is totally different, it is much more complex than a family .. a nation has to take into account what is good for its citizens.. for example the safety net for every hard working person when they get injured or are unemployed will be better for the nation in the long run
@NiteHackr You might want to find out what you're talking about -- nearly all of the protesters WERE peaceful, that "riot" was caused by a handful of hooligans that the cops just let right by them for some reason.
If you actually bothered to learn about the world around you, instead of sit on your ass with a shitty attitude, you might change your tune.
@BoredomCorner : the same happened in my country, during the protest of students... they always infiltrate peaceful demonstrators, to make them look bad in the eyes of the especially older people, to take away all their credibility...
Of course if peaceful protesters respond with violence they lose all their support and credibility... it's just absurd... lies after lies, propaganda after propaganda, we should impeach every politician that does not have a little bit of common sense!
i dont think what the black bloc did was a great idea, but i think its important to recognize the difference between what they did and actual violence.
not a single person was hurt by the black bloc, and they specifically targeted large corporations and police property. It is the police and these corporations who commit violence.
I'm sure people would be a lot easier with austerity if they saw huge cuts in military, the end of wars and politicians symbolically lowering their own salaries as well. If all this was done first at least there would be a honest premise that there is a real need to cut spending.
When you ramp up military and police and cut public funding, all you are asking for is a riot.
@MetaCraken He's from Canada. So am I. I've very angry that they let this happen. I would think it more useful to have the politicians involved in drafting that amendment quickly to be named. Their email address to be posted. And every means necessary at the next election to have this called out.
Xion rules and north amerikan tax cattle & sundry sheeple must finally realize that they are expendable Goyim as the mutt chosen racer sect lays waste the planet. Watch the latest war unfold before your eyes as once proud Germany (now a slave culture feeding the virus of xion) kicks a damn football around in South Africa,the former apartheid siamese twin of that abomination in butchered Palestine. Iran is our last hope & for that reason they will turn it to glass. Watch all hell break loose!
Some stupid kids break windows and burn cars, cops take an aggressive stance against them and suddently free speecha and the right to assemble and prostest is under attack by the government? Lets keep it real Real News. This sounds like "spin" to me.
@fight2Bfree You obviously did not listen to this program, or the previous programs real news has done. Please do that and educate yourself then come back and apologize for your ignorant remark.
@fight2Bfree Hang on: one group of people breaks windows and the cops do nothing, despite $1bn presence, rampage lasting 1h and a half, etc. THEN police attack OTHER, peaceful, protesters en masse. Look at it again I'd say.
@NicosNicosNicosNicos I dont see any conceivable reason why the police would intentionally allow mayhem in the streets other than their utter incompetence. THe notion that they would intentionally allow an incident so they could have an excuse to crack down on protesters is far fetched. G20 protesters are a nuisance. They dont threaten anyone other than the innocent hard working business owners whose business were trashed.
@fight2Bfree Well, there are precedents on record.G20 protesters as such don't threaten shop windows, hose few "black bloc" people did however.
What G20 protestors represent a threat to is the following: the very harsh austerity programmes planned against peoples around the world, which are bound to be rejected by many. By tarring all opponents to this as "a nuisance" the governments sending in the police can do their best to difuse the anger that is bound to spread.
You cannot "infiltrate" a black block. It is not an organization, any plans are completely add-hock. Policeman could not suppress their actions even if they are part of the black block.
@airokremi Not true these people were organized, and obviously had some kind of communication going on between them. And had some kind of base of operations to be able to do this. Many people have suspected police involvement with these groups this is nothing new.
Excellent report and also very chilling. The future is looking quite bleak and as always the poor will bear the brunt of it. It's amazing how nobody has been held to account for the economic crisis and once again the general populations have to mop up, whilst the fat cats lap up their milk behind security and government protection. Quite awful.

@minkorrh The US had every right to attack Iraq. Iraq was in violation of several UN sanctions against it and the UN refused to do anything against it like they were supposed to. The reason why the UN wouldn't do anything is because France was doing buisness with Iraq (against UN sanctions and helping pay the salary of the UN Chairman with the profits). The entire war against Iraq started with Iraq attacking Kuwait (sp?) and soldiers raping nurses and other women there.

We need to stick together. Yes, Protect one another & that includes giving our support to the very Police that lay their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
And when we see that they are out numbered, then we should help them & NOT work against them.
AGAIN, IF THIS WAS A PEACEFUL PROTEST, OUR POLICE WOULD HAVE TREATED THE PROTESTERS WITH RESPECT.

A peaceful protest would NOT have brought out the strong arm tactics by the Police.
Why didn't the peaceful protesters try & stop those that were smashing windows, looting & fire bombing Police cars?????
To prevent a repeat of the previous days violent attacks, and being out numbered by protestors, YES, the Police took extreme measures to contain the crowds.
Come on now, our Police do treat us with respect under normal situations. This was NOT a peaceful protest!

The probable reason the peaceful protesters didn't try to stop the Blac Bloc is because it is a serious crime to assail a police officer.

Black Block people were seen hanging around plain clothes nazi's (sorry police) with beating sticks when they (around 50) dragged people off one by one and threatened protestors to back the fuck off or get assaulted.
The two police cars were left there on purpose, the black block destroying property were left alone whilst police blocked off near by streets before moving in (only after the black block had moved on and removed their clothing to blend in) and thus the nazi's powers started.

Black Bloc tactics have to be used very carefully, and as it is a tactic more so than an organization, you often get morons breaking things without any consideration as to why. This is not to say, however, that there has never been effective utilization of property destruction and self defense by a bloc of any kind. In a "post-Seattle" world, this tactic has lost one of its most important characteristics:surprise. When the police are counting on a bloc, it's hard to accomplish much.Fight smart.

Infiltrating a group that has a history of crime is not surprising either.

Blaming the black bloc for "justifying" draconian laws is off base.
Blaming any behaviour for justifying disproportionate response by authority is fucked up thinking.

Xion rules and north amerikan tax cattle & sundry sheeple must finally realize that they are expendable Goyim as the mutt chosen racer sect lays waste the planet. Watch the latest war unfold before your eyes as once proud Germany (now a slave culture feeding the virus of xion) kicks a damn football around in South Africa,the former apartheid siamese twin of that abomination in butchered Palestine. Iran is our last hope & for that reason they will turn it to glass. Watch all hell break loose!

Some stupid kids break windows and burn cars, cops take an aggressive stance against them and suddently free speecha and the right to assemble and prostest is under attack by the government? Lets keep it real Real News. This sounds like "spin" to me.

@fight2Bfree You obviously did not listen to this program, or the previous programs real news has done. Please do that and educate yourself then come back and apologize for your ignorant remark.

@fight2Bfree Hang on: one group of people breaks windows and the cops do nothing, despite $1bn presence, rampage lasting 1h and a half, etc. THEN police attack OTHER, peaceful, protesters en masse. Look at it again I'd say.

@NicosNicosNicosNicos I dont see any conceivable reason why the police would intentionally allow mayhem in the streets other than their utter incompetence. THe notion that they would intentionally allow an incident so they could have an excuse to crack down on protesters is far fetched. G20 protesters are a nuisance. They dont threaten anyone other than the innocent hard working business owners whose business were trashed.

@fight2Bfree The corporate owned business? I didn't see any small retailers there my friend. You don't often in city centres.

@fight2Bfree Well, there are precedents on record.G20 protesters as such don't threaten shop windows, hose few "black bloc" people did however.
What G20 protestors represent a threat to is the following: the very harsh austerity programmes planned against peoples around the world, which are bound to be rejected by many. By tarring all opponents to this as "a nuisance" the governments sending in the police can do their best to difuse the anger that is bound to spread.

You cannot "infiltrate" a black block. It is not an organization, any plans are completely add-hock. Policeman could not suppress their actions even if they are part of the black block.

@airokremi Not true these people were organized, and obviously had some kind of communication going on between them. And had some kind of base of operations to be able to do this. Many people have suspected police involvement with these groups this is nothing new.

You guys should do more local stories in Canada. Forget about the USA--who needs them.

Excellent report and also very chilling. The future is looking quite bleak and as always the poor will bear the brunt of it. It's amazing how nobody has been held to account for the economic crisis and once again the general populations have to mop up, whilst the fat cats lap up their milk behind security and government protection. Quite awful.
