Any police estimate of crowd size? (Snort!)

Even the Indymedia wacknuts are saying under 10,000. There are more cops there than moonbats.

I have no idea why the Lefties are protesting this. Isn’t the theme for this year’s Summit “We’re paddling towards communism as fast as we can”?

Because despite all their "anti-globalization" platitudes, the kids who show up wearing black balaclavas and "anarchy" t-shirts are nothing more than vandals out to break stuff and cause mayhem.

It’s interesting to compare the current Sedition Media coverage of the G-20 in Pittsburgh. So much coverage!

Why? It fits the established narrative. It’s all that modern New World Order meetings should be. The Elite in jets and limos and designer and custom suitings at the best hotels, surrounded by regular military units in full urban warfare gear. And at the outskirts, beyond the military secured inner-ring that no regular folk may enter, An outer-ring of a mix of dozens of police forces launching tear gas and special crowd control weapons from black painted armored vehicles at a mix of community organized rabble of college kids, pothead dead-enders and welfare-for-life folks, spiced with mimes, street theater troupes with puppet masks, saffron robed lines of baldy monks beating drums and waving incense rods, and here and there a cohort of union members with the officers in cheap suits.

The demonstrators provide the theater and excitement, and the issues they herald are nearly all pro-socialism — they are defining what the narrative insists that the people, the rabble, the lowly proles should be asking for from their elite. MORE OF IT! MORE RULES! LESS FREEDOM. SOCIALISM!

Compare that to what happened with the coverage of the 912 marchers! Nothing, no coverage at all. The TRUE VOICES OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY ignored, incomprehensible by the DC elite, the legacy media, the academics, or even the big business elite.

What is happening in Pittsburgh is Kafke-esque illusion. It is absent any connection to REAL America.

What happened in DC on 912 was reality: 912 WAS AMERICA at its beat.
