Like millions of people, I was blissfully unaware that the G-20 summit had taken place in Brisbane on November 15th and 16th because no one in my neck of the woods was talking about it. Since the policies made by these 20 oligarchies affect the entire world, I'm posting this in case anyone was also asleep during last weekend's conference.

Against them is a brutal police force and a hostile media as well as a minority of destructively overzealous comrades.

I'm convinced that passing this legislation is the single most important thing we can do to save our country from the banksters. http://www.themoneymasters.com/monetary-reform-act/
I often sign petitions put out by the international AVAAZ team, who carefully choose an appropriate, critical time to campaign against injustice in the world. They've just put up one to back the Wall St protest.
In this one they're going to put the current number of signatories on a giant live counter there. Here's their plea:
