More than 40 international and regional networks and movements from different parts of the world vow to stage global protests calling for fundamental structural changes and a new global economic and financial system that is more responsive to the needs of the poor and the developing countries.
This was announced as the world’s richest 20 countries are expected to meet Saturday to address the current global financial meltdown.
The time is ripe to seek an “alternative path” and turn the crisis into an opportunity for advancing a “people’s agenda for change,” Lidy Nacpil, coordinator of the Jubilee South-Asia Pacific Movement on Debt and Development (JS-APMDD), said in a statement.
Nacpil, who is currently in Washington DC—the site of the G-20 summit, announced that 14 countries in Asia, 7 in Africa, 14 in Latin America and Caribbean, 8 in Europe and 1 in North America (USA) will be staging simultaneous protests in time for the “elite jamboree.”
In the Philippines, civil society groups led by Freedom from Debt Coalition will march to the US Embassy from the Mehan Garden in Manila to highlight the “culpability of the Bush administration” in the global financial, fuel and climate crises.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
In a global call signed by 209 international, regional and national networks, the groups demanded “new national, regional, and global financial institutions based on economic democracy and equity, ecological sustainability and environmental justice, gender, racial, ethnic and international justice and equality, and self-determination and sovereignty of peoples and nations.”
The groups also called to end “market fundamentalism…that preached deregulation, privatization, the over-leveraging of banks and trade and capital liberalization that have damaged communities and the environment.”
“We believe that the system must be changed and can be changed,” Nacpil said. “We say no to summit called by lame duck US President George W. Bush and other G8 leaders. Their only agenda is to stabilize the current financial system in the interest of the global capitalist elite. The reforms they propose will only give greater power to institutions like the IMF and the World Bank which, in the first place, bear a big part of the responsibility for this financial crisis as well as the climate, food and energy crises. What should be done, instead, is to install economic structures and policies that place people’s needs first and give people greater control over resources and the decisions that affect their lives.”

Unless I am a coolaid drinker, it looks like there is a whole world of commoners that like the idea of their own national sovernty, and not the sheeple service to the child molester elitists.
November 15th, 2008 at 4:20 am
How about a call to arms!!! 300 million people with 450 million weapons, if 10% vow to take out three of them (Blue helmets or black ninga wantabe gortex new world hero’s) we represent 30 million dead child molesting elitists solders…

Those groups are representing the sorrow and the hatred. They wanted NWO to dominate the all civil societies in a move that was prepared for many years. Their real objectives are to depopulate this planet.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:42 am
Saturday again, time to get out the weapons and practice. Every weekend at least 4 hours of practice especially with those handguns. Seems like these greedy bastards already think they’ve won. One thing I’m sure of, Barack is going to lead all of his sheep to a slaughter. Imagine all of those idiots voting in the NWO as our salvation. When I was a child my favorite film was Star Wars it was three decades later I saw it was propaganda. Han and Luke are portraying lucifer and azazial and good ol’ Darth Vader is portraying(betraying) the idea of Jesus. Pretty far fetched huh? Check out “Who makes the light shine” at thepiratebay.org, use this time is short. Also I stumbled on something called “The search for the great beast 666″ about the life of Alleister Crowely and this wanker was the oppitomy of evil. You will trip on the Bush connection, I promise. We have to lay down for these elitists to walk on us so, stand the fuck up on your feet and just say no. @5 After you brother……..

Wait a minute I was #6 and I wrote in response to John Fowler who was #5 somehow I leap
frogged a spot. Not to surprising though Irishmen and 6’s have never been at peace. I hope if actions are taken they follow the example of Wahlbergs’ character at the end of the departed, descretion is key. Like Jack said; “God don’t run the bingo down here!” I cant believe I just promoted another movie where a jew pretends to be an Irish, I’m still pissed about Di Caprio in Gangs of New York. Good example of what happens to the Irish in Hollywood is “Overnight” about Troy Duffy who made “The Boondock Saints” a real Irish movie. Maybe everybody should just watch that repeatedly until their balls grow. Top of the mornin’ and power to the people.

Shit !!!
November 15th, 2008 at 8:50 am
How about that, a world economic system structured for the good of the people ! Now does this mean that there will be no point in striving to get ahead of the rest of my peers,and owning three vacation homes,four cars,two hundred aceres of prime mountian land in a state that I do not even live in ? Will this mean that I can no longer charge those nice folks with three kids a thousand dollars a month for that shack that has been paid for five times already ? An economy structured for the good of people just may mean that I have to reconize the fact that that I really do not have a right to treat the world and its resources as if me and mine were the only inhabitants of the planet ! I do not think I like this ! I should never have to share !
If we structure an economy that actualy serves the needs of everyone,would not that mean that more people may actualy live past their tenth birthday thanks to the fact that they will have enough food to eat and possibly even shelter ?! Oh my God,is this what we really want ! Do we really want a world in which everyone is likely to live a full life free of needless economic struggle ! ? I do not think I like this ! How will I cope living in a world where I can not get and remain rich profiting from the needs of other people ?! Help !!

I always hear about people that want to get rid of George Bush, John McCain, Barack Obama, Henry Paulson, Neel Kashkari, Rahm Emmanuel, Michael Hayden, Israel, the government, the two party system, Nancy Pelosi, rah rah rah the list is endless. How are you going to do that when you like to sit at home and enjoy every bit of luxury that these people smother you with? You people all say you want to do something but talk is cheap. I suspect that they will win and you will soon have your internet websites such as this and many other’s shut down and you will hide in your homes shitting your pants incase they come and take you away. The fight is out on the street. Not on your computer chair. You will lose because Americans are weak. Oh yeh they talk a good fight, that’s only because their government is the most corrupt on earth and has made sure that the US has remained top dog for the last fifty years and in turn given the American people an inflated sense of invincibility. Your government is now using the tactics against you people, that it has been using against the whole planet in order to keep them the number one superpower and only now that they are doing this to you, can you see them for what they are. You have had this coming for a long time. Let’s see if you can be as resilient as other nation’s such as Vietnam and more recently Afghanistan in defeating the American government and armed forces. I doubt you will get anywhere near toppling your own government because the American people are a bunch of piss weak, scared of their own shadows, only think they are something when they believe their system is right and just, every other nation is inferior, set of braindead zombies that are finally waking up to realise that it is all bullshit and it is freaking them out. None of you will do anything about any of this and you know it. You will succumb to whatever it is your government wants you to do. The people that fought the British in 1776 are all dead and the calibre of American left in it’s place today are not fit to shine the shoes of those great people.

self love is a bitch!!! for all the talk of the American Empire, she is so weak a small cunning group of internationalist subverted her within a century. So pretty please with corn syrup on it stop comparing the American “Empire” to the Roman version…
the roman empire is older than jesus…. and continues to this day as the roman catholic church (no longer swords and siege machines but the cross and the inquisition). the american empire is MADness, carpet bombing and dollar hegemony already exhausted after a 100 years.
…and while my panties are still twisting, please stop calling 911 the greatest terrorist attack in the history of the world; in reality, it was a swindle, an overly elaborate plot (like an Indiana Jones movie) to demolish asbestos tainted buildings cheaply and efficiently and collect billions on a very profitable insurance scam while blaming it on the enemies of civilization. selah.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Brainless does mean brainless.
I believe Irishman may have directed a question at me ?! I really can not awnswer that question ! I can only ask just exactly what system it is he is refering to,slavery perhaps ? Or maybe the enclosure movements undertaken by the ruling class in medevial Europe ? I really do not know of any once great system that is now corrupted ! Unless your talking about the gilded age economy when five year olds could be employed legaly in sweatshops . Then again I would hardly call that a great system.Perhaps I just need to stick my nose a little further up Ron Pauls arse and breath in the wonderfull stink of capitalistic crap that makes it possible to see the” invisible hand” of the free market at work making sure children do not starve to death.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:36 am
I really want to be under the governance of a country with the track record of corporate greed and fraud/theft that is on such a massive scale that it cannot be comprehended, but worse than that, a seeming inability to be investigated and held legally accountable to the rule of law; nay, even changing those laws to suit their ends. No wonder Powell called them effing crazies. The whole world is taking a dive thanks to lack of regulation and oversight by ‘creative’ financiers and accountants, but now it seems they want to loot the rest of the world as well. I don’t know a country that won’t distance themselves from these goons if they are able. If America won’t stand up for its own constitution, the rest of the world may be dominoes.

As an Amerikan I am afraid you are correct. I took on the irs only to have my friends say I was stupid. No sir thats courage. You either take a stand or be stood on. We raise our children in indoctrination camps where they learn to worship the next new gadget. The children should worship freedom and the Constitution. Go converse with any school kid and you will find out pretty quick we have failed them and failed ourselves.
November 15th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
James the reason you can’t answer Irishman’s question is because you are an idiot that loves to talk. Just carry on talking and talking and talking and talking until you are dragged out of your home by your hair and dumped unceremoniously into a detention camp.
November 15th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
I’m in Vegas, when and where are the protests going to start? B’cuz I want to be there!!! Down with Obama, the NWO, CFR, Bildeberg’s!!! We need to rise up and squash these jerks. We outnumber them so let’s do it!!!!!!!!
November 15th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
YES FINALLY!!!!!!!!! This is what needs to be seriously adressed.The bailout situation will
only lead to worse things even if there is short term ease.The problem is the system itself,
an embaressing shambolic construction of rules that have situations repeating themselves
again and again and we never learn.The problem is the fundamental princabils of how
money is created,distributed and exchanged.If the banks created money on the basis
of human values than people will feel more rewarded.We live in an insane asylum where
how we trade and live should be simple and stress free because it is mankinds own doing,
not nature,not something out of our control.We are the only dumb species that tolerates
and accepts a crap standard of life.Underfunded health services,schools etc; if aliens
exist they would probally look down and say how thick we are.We need these groups
to put in original creative ideas,for example common sense tells you that if there is a simple daily problem like say like you were trying to carry something of huge weight,the more that
help,the easier the job and the less time it takes to move it.Under our dumb economic and financial system it means the more that help, the more money is needed or has to be shared beween them.Even if jobs are required,the position will only exist as long as there is money avaliable to do so because of illusionary things like budgets.Why not have people actually PAID for the work they do,money created out of thin air not in the form of debt but as straight payment to the worker that cancels out the business debt as trade takes place in teh economy.This would end all taxation as the money supply for these areas of life like the police,emergency services should be infinite,we should not accept sub standard of living.We do not need higher taxing of the rich and profits to be shared out in soem socialstic economy.People should be paid what is rightfully right,i would have barriers in place for buisness expansion from multi national corporations as they restrict competition and as we know,have political influence.I am not saying i got the answers but this is what we should all be doing,contributing to make a change!! place your ideas
November 15th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
We either unite and take these scum out and give them their due process, then for those found “Guilty” HANGEM HIGH!!! I HAVE HAD IT PEOPLE LET GET THIS BALL ROLLING AND TAKE DOWN THESE NEW WORLD ORDER PIECES OF GARBAGE! NOW BEFORE IT TOO LATE!!
November 15th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
These are very interesting times, and also rather scary.
What’s always been obvious about any Government in any place and in any time period is that the ones in power will do what it takes to stay there. Whether you’re American or not is irrelevant to the point. What’s also useless is to make extremely generalist statements about any group of people, American or not. In such an instance you are wrong about making said statements when there are clearly people who differ from what you’re indicating. I personally don’t consider myself as having some supercilious attitude toward America being this great super power that is infallible. I’m an honest, hard working citizen of a country that just so happens to be one of the most influential in the world. Whether or not I am this person in America or in Argentina should have no affect on how I am viewed; An honest, hard working person. So clearly, Brainless, you’re statements make it imminently apparent that you are NOT in fact Brainless, but that you are Mindless; And because you have a brain that seemingly showcases a lackluster mind, that also makes you an idiot. So, my advice to you is to seriously consider changing your name. Ok, with that settled….
The world is in a state of affairs that is clearly going down hill. In essence, it sucks ass. The best thing we can all do is not to put each other down, but to stick together as the common people because it affects us all. Find ways to make things a little easier to deal with and make change for the better. Whether you do it on a personal level or on a social level is up for you to decide, but it can be done. No one person is exactly the same as the next.
November 15th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
“What should be done, instead, is to install economic structures and policies that place people’s needs first and give people greater control over resources and the decisions that affect their lives.”
Well, that sounds good to me. I am all for any move that takes power away from the elite. In particular anything that dilutes the influence of the united states. I can’t wait till our military is struggling to get any money.

Don Vegas sez: “We need to rise up and squash these jerks. We outnumber them so let’s do it!!!!”
…
Pleeeeeze!
…
We may outnumber them, sure, but they own the military and the police state. They can follow you with surveillance satellites during the day and thermal imaging infrared cameras at night. They can find you and kill you even if you think you’re in a safe shelter under ground. They have the killing technology and we don’t. Having superior numbers only means we’d have more dead if we were to “rise up” against them.
In short, we have to be smarter than they are, and play our cards close to the chest.

Look N See. More talk and no action. My point is chatting endlessly about things that we all have known to be true for a long time does nothing but give them a tighter strangle hold over us. Stop the shit chat and get on with planning some action. That is if you have a brain that comprehends the word action. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT?
November 15th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I think everyone on this blog needs to breathe. The written agreement the G20 came up with is up on Fox. Oversight and regulatory controls for the future that should prevent this kind of financial free for all from happening again look to be at the forefront of the preliminary report published. It doesn’t, however, rectify the mess that’s just happened. I don’t think anyone, anywhere wishes to get burned again.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
What do you do when you no longer believe in something? I used to believe that economically things would eventually bottom out but I now believe we are due for hard times longer than I originally imagined. There are so many factors and fundamentals that refuse to quiet down. Instead, these issues are continuing to grow with a snowball effect. The momentum just grows higher and higher.
“The British Empire was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, the foremost global power.” “By 1921, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, approximately one-quarter of the world’s population. It covered about 36.6 million km² (14.2 million square miles), about a quarter of Earth’s total land area.” “At the peak of its power, it was often said that “the sun never sets on the British Empire ” because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous colonies or subject nations.” angelfire.com
So, what went wrong and how did the sun finally set on the British Empire ?
“Undisturbed rule of such an empire needed acquiescence on the part of the ruled. Gradually that acquiescence was withheld.” “By 1945 the home country itself was bankrupt from having fought the Second World War. The costs of the empire were rising, not least because of the threat of guerrilla wars.” angelfire.com
Sounds a lot like the predicament the United States finds itself in today. The money is still in the till but for how much longer? The following comments below were quoted from the most recent meeting of the IMF/World Bank/G-7.
“We remain positive about the long-term resilience of our economies, but near-term global economic prospects have weakened. The turmoil in global financial markets remains challenging and more protracted than we had anticipated.” “In other words: “Damn, we thought we’d be successful in sweeping the whole thing under the rug back when we last met in February in Tokyo , but it hasn’t quite worked out that way” . Not exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read in a G-7 communique, we grant you, but the essence of the situation nonetheless.” Bill Buckler, The Privateer
And what of the American Empire?
“HISTORY TEACHES THREE pretty clear messages. One is that all empires die. Second, empires take a long time to die. Finally, the citizens of the empire rarely recognize the warning signs for what they are.” “Empires think they have beaten the rule of change. They haven’t. Empires think size will protect them. It won’t. Empires think their military might will protect them. It won’t. Empires think charismatic leaders will protect them. They won’t. Nothing will. The old makes way for the new. The American empire is beginning to die.” San Francisco Chronicle
The US dollar is the component that helps to keep the US Empire afloat. What happens as the dollar continues to sink?
Laurence M. Vance – “The kingdom of Alexander the Great reached all the way to the borders of India . The Roman Empire controlled the Celtic regions of Northern Europe and all of the Hellenized states that bordered the Mediterranean . The Mongol Empire, which was the largest contiguous empire in history, stretched from Southeast Asia to Europe . The Byzantine Empire spanned the years 395 to 1453. In the sixteenth century, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the Persian Gulf in the east to Hungary in the northwest; and from Egypt in the south to the Caucasus in the north. At the height of its dominion, the British Empire included almost a quarter of the world’s population. Nothing, however, compares to the U.S. global empire. What makes U.S. hegemony unique is that it consists, not of control over great land masses or population centers, but of a global presence unlike that of any other country in history.”
What destroys empires? Often it is not a weakened military. Many empires throughout the ages have fallen having a strong military. Obviously there are other external factors that weigh in the balance. The financial stability of a nation affects its overall strength. The US is strong militarily but its economic structure is weakening more and more every day. And of course the elements we refer to as the agents of destruction are a heavy debt load and a currency that is losing its value around the world.
“Weakening dollar reflects USA’s fading world status” “The U.S. dollar, long the undisputed king of international exchange, is — like this nation’s prestige on the world stage — sagging badly. Economists differ over what this downturn signals, but this much is clear: The American greenback has lost its luster abroad.” “The dollar’s declining value, Cole says, results from this nation’s growing national debt and staggering trade deficit.” “We’re running internal deficits, which we’re asking foreigners to fund for us. And then we keep pumping dollars to those people so they can send us cheap goods. This depreciation of the U.S. dollar is in lieu of the United States … paying our own way,” Cole says.” “Once the world’s economic strongman, the U.S. economy is much less that today. And unless the United States gets its financial house in order, Cold War history might need to reconsider its verdict on winners and losers.” USA Today

They want all your money. They want you to invest in gold today that is $1000 an ounce or more so that when they bring out the new world currency and the price of gold drops below $100 an ounce of the old money you will be penniless. They are inflating the price of gold on purpose along with everything else.
