Raw video footage of Police Brutality captured at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh, PA. by Jason Bermas. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New World Order Emerging At G-20 Summit PITTSBURGH — A new world order is emerging at the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh with a decision by the group to become the premier coordinating body on economic issues. A joint communique was expected to show that emerging countries like China and India will be given more of a voice in how the global economy is run. G-20 leaders were also pledging to leave in place for now emergency measures taken last spring that have brought signs of global economic recovery, and to act as one to prevent a repeat of the financial meltdown. A copy of the draft document, which was obtained by Reuters, said in part: We pledge to avoid destabilizing booms and busts in asset and credit prices and adopt macro-economic policies, consistent with price stability that will promote adequate and balanced global demand.

DFID Youth Reporter Sunball Hussain summarises what it's like to try and get hold of an important document at the G20 summit...
Man walking home from work is inexplicably attacked & killed by policeman. The G20 meeting was simply another despicable communiqué attacking tax competition. The real enemy still is the OECD & here the G-20 was simply engaging in public relations warfare Up until the London meeting tax havens were repeatedly and falsely accused of being a major cause of the global recession, as though London and New York had not been at the financial heart of the real cause. But in the G-20 statement, these hypocrites showed their true hand, saying: "The era of banking secrecy is over." This week US Treasury Secretary & tax cheat, Timothy F. Geithner, with approval from the President, demanded broad new federal government powers to regulate and take control of all financial institutions other than banks. What Geithner calls "resolution authority" would allow him to take over non-bank financial institutions that he decides "pose a systemic risk" until government decides the problems are resolved
