26/04 Derrick Jensen on Washington IMF protest

WASHINGTON, D.C. - On Sunday, April 26th, 2009, a final march was held in protest of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank representatives' meeting. A weekend of demonstrations and direct actions was held to demonstrate people's anger at the policies of these financial institutions, as well as the recently allocated $1.1 trillion bailout to the IMF by the countries of the G-20.

This video would be a LOT better if the bullshit start would have been cut off, and it would begin with Jensen immediately.

thank you for posting this

if you protest, you give your consent to whomever you protesting against, because what protest means is to UNHAPPILY ACCEPT what is being done to you / your land / your whatever, and the protest is to show your discontent. What you need to do is reject and resist.

There was a bomb threat at the post office across the street from my office. There were all these cops roaming around the perimeter, in full military fatigue, and carrying assault weapons.

The receptionist at my office was flirting with them, making jokes about the size of their guns.

Hhm.

Holy Sh!t, I say the exact SAME thing about the new professionalized police forces, their uniforms are simply costumes.

Yeah ... good luck with your kinder gentler capitalism.

I'm sure it'll be much better this time around.

Looks like Jensen just smoked a blunt before this interview.
