G8: a very brief summary in pictures, videos and a few words.

colonos | 08.06.2007 03:51 | G8 Germany 2007

...a very brief summary -in pictures, videos and a few words- of the G8 events of late, beriddled as they have been by police brutality[videos below], agent provocateurs[1] (which in any decent journalism would have entirely overshadowed a few radicalised, state repressed groups' retaliation for the violence commenced by the authorities[2]) and the completely distorted "journalism" by the corporate press..

This is posted with pix etc. at:

An intro for those who can read German:

"ORDNUNG MUSS SEIN - Merkelst dir dass!"

....and just to make sure that you know: the police will hit anyone - i repeat anyone:

...even if you are a mainstream organisation like Greenpeace, the global police state will attack to kill:

Creative, uplifting images:
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/06/372920.html - Way to go, comrades! :)

In conclusion, although not very good quality video, sarcastically presented in German text, but the images speak for themselves: police brutality with thick, weapon-like gloves[3], business as usual:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqIvShEZ4Po

Finally, this video with German text and speech where in the final interview a bystander notes that the autonomous groups were attacked by the police without any prior provocation - and "strangely" the attack came right when the autonomous groups were passing a construction site where stones and other material were abundant (we're talking about a police operation that costs millions and millions of Euros and a legal, declared march with a predecided route - yet there is a whole street fight arsenal freely available in the very moment that the police attacks unprovoked???):

The struggle continues

[1]: This is the only "proof", so far, but there is surely more to come:  http://media.de.indymedia.org/rtsp/2007/06//182489.rm - the incident was distorted by German ZDF into a case of "peaceful protestors distancing themselves from a violent one", rehearsing the old familiar divide and conquer strategy of the state and the pseudo-state NGOs:

At the Genoa, 2001 G8 - the proof was quite clear:
