The International Monetary Fund “walked off with America’s economic sovereignty” with agreements reached at the recent G-20 summit meeting, according to political analyst Dick Morris.

The September meeting in Pittsburgh brought together representatives of 20 of the world’s leading economies, with President Obama representing the U.S. In a video, Morris said that with economic policies adopted at the meeting:

“We literally took a gigantic step toward global governance and control by global economists of our monetary and financial and regulatory system. It was incredibly alarming.

“This was a terrible terrible reversal at the G-20 summit. Literally what’s going to happen now is that professional economists around the world run by the IMF are going to work with the G-20 nations to formulate plans for each of their economies and give them specific mandates and specific requirements, and by consensus the G-20 will adopt it.

Of course the United States will participate as one out of 20 votes, and basically be forced to go along with the global consensus. Then every three months the United States has to come back to G-20 and the IMF and show that we’ve been good boys and girls, that we’ve met our assignments . . .  And who are these people who are going to be running our country, who are going to be running our economic system?”

For those who aren’t very familiar with the G-20 and how it came to be, the G-20 grew out of the original G-7, which included only the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Germany, France, Italy, and Japan. Russia joined in 1997. The intent in the beginning was to allow the prinicipals in the original G-7 to set individual financial policies. According to Morris:

“The U.S. and Japan and Germany and France and Britain needed to get together and coordinate their economic policies . . . but to expand it now to all these other countries is absurd.

“Obviously you needed to include Indian and China, but beyond that? Argentina? Defaulted on its debt to the IMF. Brazil? That’s run by a Marxist. Mexico? That has a huge drug problem infesting the country. South Africa, one of the most corrupt regimes in the world. Saudi Arabia, the single most repressive regime in the world. Indonesia, incredibly unstable. South Korea, a functioning democracy for about 12 years.

“Those are the countries that are going to be sitting in judgment on the United States. And the IMF will orchestrate all of it. Barack Obama gave away the store at that G-20 summit and it’s going to be very hard to get it back.”

Folks, this is yet another step by the IMF and a good number of the nations involved with the G-20 summit to put into motion the steps to get a one-world government going. Of course, leave it to the apologist-in-chief to sign off on any agreements signed at the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh.

Pennsylvania National Guardsmen are joining the mission to provide security in the city of Pittsburgh during this year’s G-20 summit.

The Defense Department is now allowing certain Homeland Security personnel access to classified terrorism-related information.

NATO officials are reporting five American troops died Thursday in separate attacks in southern Afghanistan.

More than 2,500 Pennsylvania National Guardsmen have been called up to support the international G-20 Summit, an economic summit being held in Pittsburgh, PA on Sept. 24 and 25.

Operation Steel Kickoff started Sept. 20 with a joint reception, staging, onward movement and integration point process led by the Guard’s 213th Area Support Group, which is working out of a hangar at the 171st Air Refueling Wing in Coraopolis, Pa.

In short, the four-point process acts as the gateway for the soldiers and airmen assigned to the mission.

“We’re the support role, helping the soldiers and airmen get out and do the things they need to do,” said Army 1st Lt. Matthew Springer, the team leader for Operation Steel Kickoff’s JRSOI process. “Our focus is on ensuring the war fighter is getting the things they need to be successful in their mission.”

 

This is the first joint operation of this magnitude for the 213th ASG, and because it is taking place in their home state, the operation has instilled many with an extra sense of pride.

“It’s always a great experience when you can help, especially when it’s here on the home front, a mission right here in the state of Pennsylvania,” Springer said.

The mission starts administratively, Springer said.

“We’re checking for ID cards, orders, dog tags and critical personnel information” he said. “Once they’re in-processed, soldiers and airmen move to medical where they receive their flu shots.”

After being medically processed, the servicemembers are briefed by public affairs, legal, medical and intelligence. Once they’ve completed the briefings, they’re ready for the mission, Springer said.

Following the check-in process, soldiers and airmen wasted no time in practicing techniques needed to help local, state and federal authorities keep Pittsburgh safe as demonstrators take to the streets in protest of the worldwide economic summit.

Several hundred joint task force members practiced throughout the day with movement techniques, formations and crowd and riot control at Crane Armory here.

“We’re working hard right now because we have Army and Air Force members who haven’t trained together before,” said Army Sgt. 1st Class Ronald Bittner, a platoon leader from 1/110th, D Company. “We are working to mesh, because we all take a lot of pride in this mission.”

Even the veterans are experiencing something new.

“This is definitely a different mission,” said Air Force Master Sgt. Pauline Gonzalez, a 23-year veteran and personnel specialist with the 211th Engineering Installation Squadron. “It’s very hard and very challenging, but it’s been a rewarding experience.”

As the sun set on the first day of training for the big event, the Guard continued to practice in case protests become a threat to people and property.

“We have a duty and responsibility to make sure the citizens are protected,” Gonzalez said. “Demonstrators have their rights, but they have to exercise them peacefully and within the law.”
