G20 Pittsburgh Day One, Fascist Police State security out in force

The Stench of Truth 221 Clips from the G20 Thursday September 24, 2009. Pittsburgh PA. I was disappointed by the lack of economic protesting in the area that I was, but I could not get around too easily to see the G20 Resistance Project which was approaching the city from the other side. Free Tibet put on a good show. The G4 20 group for Marijuana was present as well as anti-abortion protesters. I handed out leaflets to a mostly receptive audience. 9/11 was an inside job people were present but not very vocal.
My Leaflet:

DONT JUST PROTEST DEMAND ACTION
1)All policies that originate with the G20 are aimed at helping financial institutions, banks, and insurance companies.
2)The economic collapse that the world has experienced has been a direct result of FINANCIAL SPECULATION, by banks and financial institutions.
3)The entities that have CAUSED our economic woes have been REWARDED with bailouts, and have had their risk underwritten by the taxpayers.
4)Economic policy has left people defenseless and at the mercy of corporations and banks.
5)We are now being told that the recession is over even though unemployment hovers around 10% nationally, officially, unofficially it has been estimated as high as 25%.
6)Wall Street needs to be MADE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE, with a TOBIN TAX on all Wall Street financial transactions including derivatives. A 1% TOBIN TAX will generate revenue to allow for funding of vital programs like Medicare, Social Security, and beleaguered states in the short term; and in the long term will discourage rampant speculation into dubious ventures like Credit Default Swaps, and Derivatives which still loom large as potential economic calamities.
7)Our elected officials are supposed to represent us, the people, let us DEMAND that these officials hold the banks and other corporations which have caused the problem ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, and not work for the HIGHEST BIDDER.
8)Let us DEMAND that the Senate NOT reconfirm BEN BERNANKE to Federal Reserve Chairman, and that they REMOVE TIMOTHY GEITHNER from his office because both have been tools of Wall Street and especially GOLDMAN SACHS.
9)Let us DEMAND that presidential appointments to key positions be reviewed so that people like JOHN HOLDREN are REMOVED from their positions for holding EXTREME VIEWS, and prevent future appointees who hold such extreme positions from taking office in the first place.
10)Let us DEMAND a rejection of CAP AND TRADE because it will damage the United States ability to compete in production and lead to energy rationing, and instead call for NEW ENERGY PRODUCTION, including Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Natural Gas, Oil, and clean Coal.
11)Let us DEMAND a rejection of HEALTH CARE REFORM which mandates coverage under PRIVATE FOR PROFIT insurance companies and instead DEMAND SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL.
12)Let us DEMAND that the Federal Reserve be audited.
13)Let us DEMAND infrastructure rehabilitation, and REJECT the selling or leasing of our highways and other PUBLIC WORKS, like water plants, to private business.
14)Let us DEMAND a moratorium on home foreclosures for at least 1 year.
15)Let us DEMAND the dismantling of NAFTA and other so-called free trade agreements which take jobs to other countries. Free trade is not possible when countries have absolute advantages and they are RECKLESS because they suppress wages and the rights of workers everywhere.
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS, REPRESENTATIVES AND THE PRESIDENT AND DEMAND THAT YOUR VOICE BE HEARD ON THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES.

i have nothing against soldiers like the ones in this video i just dont like police or riot officers

[tenebroust]

@evilflame13 Well them personally NO, but the fact that they are in violation of law for engaging in law enforcement activity is worth pointing out.

Pittsburgh's police with their newly acquired toys from the federal government

brought shame to our city.

Our children were treated as animals on their college campuses.

We were intimidated by our own police dept and consistantly provoked as we were marching peacefully.

The so called news nedia had little if any access to what was going on.

Is this the country which preaches human rights to the world?

America what has happen to you?

Get Up

Stand UP

Stand Up For Your Rights

The military can't be used in a police action unless they get a governors permission. That is why they are armed it it border constitutional controversy to use military to enforce civil law.

First time i've seen this vid. dunno how I missed it as I'm a subscriber. :(

Seriously, what do you expect? They should have all the police out in force that they did. All the world's leaders are coming together and it's Pittsburgh's responsibility to ensure their safety...whether there is protesting or not. If I was a world leader, I would be reluctant to come had I known there would NOT be this type of security in place.

[philphactor14]

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed seeing all the different police forces coming together to keep public property safe and all the people who live in the area.
