Disclaimer: This was written the night of September 24, immediately following the events described, without time to verify all the reports summarized or assemble additional information. There may be errors; if so, we will correct them shortly.UPDATE: September 25 2009, 1735 Pacific Daylight Time
This is on-the-spot reporting just in from the first day of the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, which has seen a great deal of spirited resistance and confrontation—perhaps as much as has occurred at any anarchist mobilization in North America in half a decade. This gushy, hastily composed account presents the context, attempts to convey the spirit of the day, and raises a few preliminary questions.
The basic narrative of the day runs thus: The protesters attempt to reach the summit site, but are brutally forced back by police. They eventually turn around and march through Pittsburgh neighborhoods and shopping districts, where the police pursue and attack them. Property destruction intensifies in response to these attacks, and the conflict culminates in a standoff between police and students during which a black bloc destroys a business district.

Sonic weapons (LRADS) reportedly being used on G20 protesters in Pittsburgh
A heads up: it seems either US federal police or the US military have used sonic weapons on protestors in Pittsburgh.The FBI is apparently producing some significant evidence leading to the indictment of a Denver shuttle bus driver Najibullah Zazi and some 'friends' who were allegedly actualizing some sort of terrorist act (with some "hoarded" chemical that haven't been found yet) in the U.S. even as two more plots, including a 15 year old Jordanian teen in Dallas Texas who planned to take down a 60 story skyscraper make news.

National Guard, police, and other military units attacked American citizens with tear gas and deployed sound cannons today in response to an “unpermitted protest” as bedlam hit the streets on the first day of the G20 summit in downtown Pittsburgh.
The First Amendment is officially dead in the United States. If this isn’t martial law then we don’t know what is. Associated Press photographs show National Guard troops in full fatigues with active duty military running checkpoints that make the roadblocks in Iraq positively friendly. Like Iraq, America is now a conquered nation occupied by troops whose primary function is to oppress anyone who tries to express the freedoms that they once enjoyed.
It all unfolded live on The Alex Jones Show as the Infowars crew called in to the program as sound cannons were turned against protesters who police were attempting to force out of the immediate area. [In Full @ Seeker 401]
You'd think that SOME PEOPLE are still very angry at the West, and getting angrier.
Just in case you can't imagine WHY:
Paul Kirk, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (1985-89) has been appointed interim Senator until January.
The Senate Finance Committee has rejected an amendment that would have limited the ability of the president to appoint 'czars' without senatorial confirmation. The 'Right' is concerned that they'll lack control over who makes executive decisions on policies such as health reform... To wit: "Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) on Friday told his fellow Senate Finance Committee members he wanted any "czars" handling health care issues to be subject to the Senate confirmation process..."
In Honduras, the first talks between the illegitimate coup government and moderator Oscar Arias are a failure even as "President Roberto Micheletti has told the Organization of American States not to send the ministers because they will not be allowed into the country". The national police, led by staff of whom many were trained at the notorious "School of the Americas" ("Honduran General Humberto Regalado Hernandez was inducted into the SOA's Hall of Fame") and US 'Advisors', are surrounding the Brazilian embassy where Jose Manuel Zelaya, the legitimate president is waiting, and have themselves been surrounded by thousands of citizens. The police respond with tear gas, clubs, and rubber bullets. There are at least two dead in the rioting so far.
In regard to the commentary, whenever anyone mentions how the "International Community" abhors and opposes Iran's nuclear power ambitions (We DO want their oil, Right? ...And they SHOULDN'T BE be relegated to third world status in the process, right?) here's an interesting fact... AKA "What 'International Community'?":
All 118 members of the Non-Aligned Movement have signed a statement declaring support for Iran's nuclear program. At least 7 non-members have also publicly expressed support (Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Turkey), bringing the total to at least 125.
So perhaps Iran is at risk of alienating an international minority, but certainly not the majority.[In Full @ The Ruh of Brown Folks]
