We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

The Toronto G20 Riot Fraud: Undercover Police engaged in Purposeful Provocation At Tax Payers' Expense

from Global Research. Mainstream media, as usual, is covering this incident strictly from the police's point of view. 

From another Globe and Mail photo, notice this "protester" with "fucking immigrants" on his shirt and a Palestinian type face scarf--rather crude, politically naive and incompatible with left slogans and images. Also he's wearing some unusual protective arm sleeves.



For some links to eye witness reports that made it into the Guardian, see this, and this.

Also, in this video check out the people confronting police who serve to protect the ruling class.
