Austerity, Wrongful Arrests, Agents Provocateurs, Police States, Overpriced Photo-Ops, AWOL Leaders — Blame the Liberals!!

Any bets as to how long it’ll take before a Harpercon, any cheerleader from their media and/or blogging supposiTories will take before they blame it all on the Liberals?

First, a little review of why these leaders have been summoned to an overpriced shindig and photo op by Master Steve.

Last night and this morning, he attempts to tell world leaders to cut their deficits in half by 2013 by introducing austerity measures; to cut their programs and raise taxes. Given that he so arrogantly told them he would not participate in a global bank tax, I hope these world leaders will tell Steve where to go. It seems that President Obama, while hated in his own country, still is considered to be one of the cool kids on the world stage and he is telling all not to cut stimulus spending so fast.  Economist Paul Krugman tells us here and here how these austerity measures are not only a bad idea, but could also set off a double dip recession. Other economists like this one share Krugman’s opinion, including this one who says that much of Canada’s economic recovery in the 90s had a lot to do with lucky circumstances likely to not be repeated, and why the UK is drawing a bad example from Canada. Can’t explain this gluttony for self punishment being in vogue really.

It would appear I’m not the only one asking these serious questions about Agents Provocateurs, some shoddy police work and noticing things that just don’t fit.

Now, the Winnipeg Free Press comes out doing PR for the cops; why, they did an excellent job! Their priority was not the businesses or police cars, but keeping mere mortals from the fence separating them from the  ’20 worldly wise men’. Didn’t take too long for the kool-aid to get served, did it? In other words, that old painful reminder of that socio-economic class struggle.

Next, a little video about Austerity, an arrest of a protester and of course, a crash course on G20 Agents provocateurs.  Thanks to Thor of Riding the Porcelain Bus

On a serious note,  as that host on the video asks, could a banking corporate facist regime be the new world order? A question that must be asked.  Many economists have warned against austere measures and I have linked to a few of them above. Do take the time to read them.

By the by,  UK British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel fucked off the meetings with Master Steve in favour of finding a TV to watch their respective countries play each other in today’s bout of world cup soccer.

In spite of all this,  Craig Oliver and Jane Taber both asked Larry Cannon and ol’ Vic Toews if they still believed Downtown Toronto was the proper venue to host this hootenanny, to which they both answered an emphatic “yes!”  Really Craig & Jane, were you really expecting any other answer?  Besides, it’s only a matter of time these clowns are all going to catch their very contagious case of Liberal Derangement Syndrome. Any bets has to how long it will take for any of these Harpercons or their spin doctors or even their cheerleaders from the Blogging SupposiTories to blame the Liberals for all this?
