Videos and News From the Protests at the G20 Summit
There is a live streaming video you can buffer at the below website:
OUT OF CONTROL – and these people have gone insane – they should turn their protesting to the real cause of this mess: The Government!
Then take this story at the below link:
This is a small but growing group who, much like us conservatives or libertarian republicans, are normally quiet, turn the other cheek, and protest in our own ways. They had another message to convey at the protests and wanted to make people think. It’s quite simple: Get out of our way. The government, not capitalism, caused this mess.
Sarkozy (France), Threatens to Walk Out of G20 Summit
President Sarkozy yesterday threatened to wreck the London summit if France’s demands for tougher financial regulation are not met.
France will not accept a G20 that produces a “false success with language that sounds good but contains no commitments”, his advisers said.
How much does that second paragraph sound like President Obama himself? LMAO!
Asked if this meant a possible walk-out, Xavier Musca, Mr Sarkozy’s deputy chief of staff for economic affairs, said: “A basic rule with nuclear deterrence is that you do not say at what point you will use the weapon.”
The French threat dramatically raised the temperature hours before President Obama arrives in London today. If carried through, it would ruin a summit for which Mr Brown and Mr Obama have high ambitions, believing it vital to international recovery.
Russia and China Still Considering a New Currency
Like I continue to say… I don’t think Gold has reached it’s peak yet, but I could be one of those involved in the mania like the analyst says below:

I find it incredibly interesting that several prominent women have been in the news lately, they have been writing or discussing our current economic troubles and some of the best ways to get out of the situation in the long run. Each conservative female that I have heard speak on this issue agrees that spending more money will not work and will have long-term negative consequences for all involved.
ORIGINAL POST:
The most recent female in the news is not even American, she is German – and the German Chancellor no less. Angela Merkel was recently elected Chancellor after a majority of European countries moved to the right, since socialism was having a bad effect on their economies.
Gordon Brown’s spending plan for the upcoming G20 summit on Thursday, April 2nd, was accidentally leaked, and other Prime Ministers and Chancellors caught wind of the “New Deal” to be rolled out during next week’s meeting. Gordon Brown is calling for more than a $2 Trillion stimulus worldwide to end the recession.
The draft stated that Britain wanted a “$2 trillion” global fiscal stimulus. However, the figure appeared only in brackets, indicating agreement on the package had yet to be reached.
The stimulus would boost world growth by 2% and employment by 19m, the draft said. The rest of the document was mainly general pledges.
“We believe that an open world economy, based on the principles of the market, effective regulation and strong global institutions, can ensure sustainable globalisation with rising well-being for all,” it said.
A No 10 source expressed “disappointment” at the leak and insisted the $2 trillion figure was not new money but an expression of the total tax and spending packages already pledged by G20 members.
Privately, government officials admit that no further fiscal stimulus will be announced this week, although there will be a $250 billion package for the International Monetary Fund to help rescue struggling poor nations.
