G-20 Circus Comes To Brisbane - Peter Lemkin - 15-11-2014
I think Corbett has it just about right on this matter....'just who do these would-be overlords think they are?'

Just so pleased I am not in Brisbane. We had APEC and the Olympics here and the city was locked down and completely unusable for the duration and some time before as well. I hear that it is even worse now in Brisbane. Exclusion zones, preventative arrests, banned people, banned objects. Half the city has gone and it is a ghost town and now the government is complaining and wanting all the happy little peasants to be scenery in the Potemkin village for the overlord visitors to gaze upon as they drive by in their bomb proof entourages with 500 police escorts. ::vomit::

The Saker on the G20:
Quote:We all know the mantra by now: "Putin is in cahoots with the West! Putin is a puppet of the world oligarchy! Putin sold out Novorussia! Putin only pretends to oppose the Empire!". We heard it all year long.
Then came Putin's Valdai speech. It was not anything new, he had said very similar things in 2007: the world hegemony of the USA was unacceptable and it would be stopped.
But the Putin-bashes never noticed. They are very good at not noticing.
Now comes the G20 down south.
On greeting Putin, Harper actually tells him "I guess I'll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you, you need to get out of Ukraine."‎ According to an Australian spokesmen "Mr. Putin did not respond positively." (ex-KGB officers are not impressed by, or have respect for, petty street thugs and their swagger).
Merkel, Cameron and Obama threatened even more sanctions in indulged in their usual combo of lies and threats. Obama bested them all with pearl: "We're opposing Russia's aggression against Ukraine, which is a threat to the world, as we saw in the appalling shoot-down of MH17" (nevermind that all the evidence shows that it was a Ukrainian SU-25 attack which, in turn, means that it was yet another botched US false flag operation).
As for Putin, having spoken with his BRICS colleagues - who gave him their full support - he is apparently going to leave the G20 summit early and return to Moscow.
Barry says Putin is a threat to the world. They're treating him like Saddam Hussein leading up the the invasion. 'Who cares about facts; you're going down.'

Yes there is a definite mantra against Putin here amongst the media and government people. I even heard he was going to leave early because everyone was having a go about it with him. But it was also 40 degrees and appallingly hot and I wouldn't want to be there either. But I heard this through the MSM and I have no idea if it is really the case.
On the other hand I did see one of the TV programmes do a Putin (impersonator) walk amongst the people in the streets surrounded by 'security' media and all. In all the footage I saw Putin had a great reception. People wanted selfies and shop owners gave him freebies and all the comments were all very supportive and polite. No mad or angry people asking about M17 or the Ukraine war. Just surprise and support. Later in the G20 when the real Putin was here the media was perplexed at how Putin was receiving the loudest cheers and applause from the people.

He just left....a real snub...that will have very bad consequences in World tensions, IMO. They should have used the occasion to discuss any disagreements and find solutions - but that is not what the meeting is about, is it! - its a club to agree on creating problems......

The moral of this is that one should never be friends with the US as they will destroy your country and hang you when it suits them.

Attention: UK [and EU et al.]....take note! We have no friends - only 'relationships of convenience'.

Mind you, I think Putin was ill advised to leave early, as he must've known that the west would use that to their advantage in the propaganda war (a sort of Putin storms out of G20 meeting headline would be the obvious one). Staying and making those who spoke to him about Ukraine listen to his side of the story with his facts - even though he would've known it was a fruitless exercise - would be a better ply, because leaving earlier just plays into the west's hands. Fighting his corner or even laughing at them for their poodle-ness to US and NATO interests would, for me, be a better option.

I agree he could have laughed at their US lap doggery and rampant hypocrisy but they wee never going to listen to him even if he gave the modern day Sermon on the Mount/ I Have a Dream/ Fight Them on the Beaches type speech all in one.
