Americans voted for change and are getting frustrated with the lack of it, mainly because powerful forces are holding the status quo in place.
The city of Pittsburgh has called up
4,000 highly-trained federal
police officers to support local security forces in the days leading up
to the G20 summit that begins on Wednesday. As
Chris Hedges writes at
Truthdig, "The draconian security measures put in place to silence
dissent in Pittsburgh are disproportionate to any actual security
concern." The delegates will be protected by a National Guard combat
unit recently back from Iraq. The center of the city will be virtually
shut down and there are already reports of arrests and harassment of
activists. On the eve of the G20 summit and during the worst financial
crisis since the Great Depression what is the future of capitalism? And
does the left have an alternative?
