Police and Demonstrators Prepare for the G20 Summit in Cannes

No doubt This will be big protests this week

Thousands of protesters are converging on the French Riviera to urge the Group of 20 leading economies to focus on spreading global largesse more equitably instead of saving banks and pleasing financial markets. Scores of French and international activist groups with a range of missions - from a tax on financial transactions to better environmental protection and fairer labour laws - are organising protests around the summit of G-20 leaders in Cannes on Thursday and Friday. Their biggest march was planned for Tuesday in Nice, under the slogan "People First, Not Finance". Later they were to march on nearby Monaco, known for its friendly tax laws, to urge an end to tax havens.

Given the current state of affairs, I expect a pretty big turnout for these protests. I hope they can keep it peaceful and good luck to them.

I know the negative, anti-everything crowd will show up soon.....so let me say this: "These protesters are a bunch of pot smoking, socialist Nazis that were sent by the Obama campaign to radicalize the world!"

Ok, I said it. So now you naysayers can move along.

I never really got the point of the "G_" protests but protests are all the rage now a fad, like myspace.

Time,

"Today’s decisions, of course, will not immediately solve the crisis. But we have begun the process by which it will be solved," Mr Brown said. "I think a new world order is emerging with the foundation of a new progressive era of international co-operation,"

After time...

Global leaders took their biggest steps yet toward a new world order that’s less U.S.-centric with a more heavily regulated financial industry and a greater role for international institutions and emerging markets.

Welcome to the New World Order... you thought it was just a conspiracy?

Financial Transaction Tax = Harness the Underground Economy

This was the plan all along.

The EU will say yes. The Europeans want free money and will agree to anything.
