- Government kangaroo commission about the financial collapse is just a time-wasting and propaganda measure to legitimize the administration’s wrong preconceived notions about the economy.
- Cash for klunkers?
- 2009 Budget heading for a $2 Trillion deficit.
- THERE IS NO SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND.
- Unintended consequences of bailouts: the destruction of 100-year old businesses in order to prop up failures.

G20 Police had Agent Provocateurs

Remember the news blitzkrieg about “protesters” at the G20 meeting months ago? Does anyone remember CNN ever mentioning why people were protesting the meeting? I don’t. It looked to me like the news channels wanted us to think they were just a purposeless mob. But given that the G20 meeting involved world leaders deciding, without accountability, to do some very stupid things to the world economy, there was plenty to protest. But one person has spoken up about police provocateurs at the protests.
“When I was in the middle of the crowd, two people came over to me and said, ‘There are people over there who we believe are policemen and who have been encouraging the crowd to throw things at the police,’” Brake said. But when the crowd became suspicious of the men and accused them of being police officers, the pair approached the police line and passed through after showing some form of identification.
As reprehensible as it is, this is actually not unusual. Protest events, especially around very important government meetings, overflow with stories of the enforcers infiltrating the crowd in order to provoke a crowd action which will give the police an excuse to purge the area of protesters. It’s SOP for the police to do this, particularly in the United States.

- Bilderberg Provocateurs Tried to Instigate Violence
Why do they do it? Because it’s an easy tactic to remove those scary mobs, and the media never calls them on it. The vast majority of protesters know that instigating violence would be counter-productive to their cause, and these stories usually end with the protesters kicking the poorly-disguised provocateur out of the group. Sometimes, the provocateur maces people indiscriminately, or tries to start something even when in uniform.
What did you learn in school today?
