Many conservative and libertarian Americans agree with the G20 protests against the financial establishment although they have little else in common with the protesters..
While most of the London and European protesters are from the far left, many working Americans feel the same about Washington’s excessive bailouts for Wall Street and the banking establishment.

Washington has bailed out the banks, Wall Street & their Washington special interests and much of the cost is added to the national debt to by paid by this and future generations while real estate and investments continue to fall.
Find out how a growing repudiate the debt movement could stop Washington’s deficits, the exploding national debt and end the bailouts.

The Campaign to Cancel the Washington National Debt By 12/21/2012 Constitutional Amendment is starting now in the U.S.

I am happy that nothing really bad happen, but it doesn't mean that it wasn't plan. From the external it look's like nothing happend.

Don't the USA realize that I have been exploited, but never paid ?

I hope that good decision will be taken for the entire population.

You schould really think of changing all this management mixing love and busness. In order to create a transparancy system where wedding is not a financial transaction to avoid taxes. I create my busness plan one year ago, in order to establish an social and environmental busness who's also economicly reliable. Why is that much difficult to get a banking transaction done ? You also need to understand that a real social life and a good communication is the key of success. A busness without any values involve a lot of problem's. I think that it's now the time to change old bad economic transaction. More transparancy also from the USA will help a lot. What USA think about Human right, and the right to privacy ? Could you take it in account on the base of decision ?

I also need to let you know that this people have the right to manifest their opinions. You really schould take what they think in consideration. Find the way to open this kind of meeting to the populations who doesn't believe in capitalism that will help to move forward. Putting cash in bank and giving credit to the population is the worse economical Idea never heared. Why giving that much power to bank ? They won twice !!! I am shure you know that trust gives the value to an affair or busness and keep the market in shape, what about a trusting governement ? A trusting governement keep people calm !!! And president work is suppose to serve people, that why we call it "Public Service".

The Battle in Seattle was way better. Honestly, for a nation famous for its crazy soccer fans, we expected a quite a bit more. Oh, well. At least they smashed a few windows. That should have annoyed the bankers for all of ten minutes. They'll probably just use the incident as an excuse to take a personal day. So much for "anarchy". What a joke.

Meanwhile, thousands of people all over the world have lost their jobs so a few rich folks who already have more money than they could possibly need or spend can get even more money. I've got no truck with people getting paid; nor do I think that it's a crime to be rich. But there's just no place in the world for this level of greed. For some, it's not enough for them to have everything, you've got to have nothing. We've got to have a world where everyone at least has the basics to live a decent life.

It is interesting how you describe frustrated, angered citizens as "the mob" and refer to their activities of activism and protest as excesses. Who has displayed the real drive for excess? What choice are most people left with when they are shut out of all decision making that goes on in the financial world? Also, associating all activists with the likes of Marx is a desperate attempt on the part of corporate owned media to convince the population at large that all concerns on the part of average citizens are some sort of plot against business. The people in the streets in London are not some kind of fringe group to be marginalized. Undeniably the real "chaos," a term used by a CNN anchor to describe popular protest, that has occurred has come as a result of those who have the most influence over the financial sector. Compared to Fox News, CNN is reliable. Please do the public a service and avoid the slander!

As i watched The President on CNN this morning I as a Black African living in America, that worked in Marks Miss for voter registration in 1968, felt pride in this country for finally elected a intelligent, charmisic and socially prepare President. Not since JFK has this country been the talk of the world about a president that represents a nation built on something other than greed, meanness and a superior attitude that looked down on the rest of the world as their door mat. The President and The First Lady enables the rest of the world to final have respect for a country that could be as GREAT as we think we are. With alittle work we could and this First Family there is HOPE for America yet

STRANGE: Workers, demanding employment, hand in hand with greenies, demand carbon reduction. One to increase C02, the latter to decrease it. "What ever it takes" is the colloquialism of the meeting. Catch 22 come to mind. Is the climate change debate on halt? You really must read Cuger Brant’s; ‘End Game’. You may very well learn something.

It really is not a plug for my book. I sincerely wish you to read about our future on this planet. It has taken me two years to write, so please do not dismiss it out of hand. Both my children and yours are involved in this. Cuger Brant is my ‘Nome de plume’. My sincerity is my children's future.

I totally agree with John. Please stop ruining CNN's name by making massively distorted and biased articles that claim fanatical things.

-The protesters were not a mob, but intelligent frustrated people
-The protesters were not a small marginalized group, they represented a vast majority of the UK population
-Don't try to link the protesters to Karl Marx or Lenin
-The only reason that the protests were feared to be violent was because news stations such as CNN purported that message.
-Don't try to make the "Hands-On" police presence a good thing. Massive police stifles democracy.

ihpoiuhpu, I don't think you read Simon Hooper's article that thoroughly. Notice that it says "the Mob", not the mob. You might not notice the difference because of your own bias, but to me Hooper was portraying a picture of the demonstrators that *clashed* with the televised medias singular focus on violent protestors.

In regards to "distorted and biased" compared to your post, his was the highest pinnacle of objective reporting.. ;-)

Eat the rich - long overdue since the Knightsof Templar took control of money and politics,

Well said, bjorn.
