Michael Collins reports that the ongoing economic struggle of billions of people didn't deter key
G-20 figure Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke from announcing that the worldwide recession is "very likely
over." Of course, there's a qualifier. It will be a jobless recovery which raises the question,
just exactly who will be recovering?

Pittsburgh -- A new world order is emerging at the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh with a decision by the group to become the premier coordinating body on economic issues. Radio Free Europe, Sep. 26, 2009

The Pittsburgh Summit focused on changing the regulations governing the world's financial institutions and processes In addition to rewriting the rule book, the "new world order" announced that the G-20 is now the "premier coordinating body on economic issues" which will benefit the wealthiest interests in each member country.

But it was more than just about making the banks behave. In cooperation with U.S. and foreign law enforcement agencies, Pittsburgh police and unidentified law enforcement agents unveiled some new programs for citizens. These had nothing to do with much needed jobs and health care, barely mentioned at the meeting. Rather, the G-20 premiered the "sonic cannon," a device designed to cause serious pain from ultra shrill sonic waves beamed at those exercising their rights of freedom of speech and assembly. Snip

These guarantees were enabled by the actions of some of the very same leaders attending the Pittsburgh conference. It's a tight circle.
