Interview with journalist Wagenschein reporting Genoa jail conditions. \"german journalist Kirsten Wagenschein ... after five days in an Italian prison ... Genoa Social Forum ... half of the seventy people arrested were injured; many were lying on the floor with head injuries and covered in blood, and hardly moved anymore, they only moaned. Blood was everywhere. Police broke a young woman\'s jaw and smashed out her front teeth. Immigrants with a dark skin were mistreated in a particularly extreme manner. ... The police hit us with batons and kicked us with their boots. On my way to the toilet I saw a man being beaten up in another cell.\"

The Genoa police brutality and terroristic raids have distracted some people from one of the main points of the nearly all the protests since Seattle. That point is the debt dictatorship of the rich nations over all other nations. In fact many of the mainstream peaceful Stop the Debt events were cancelled due to rampant police violence.

While the G8 leaders mouth platitudes about token AIDS donations and token development aid and token debt relief, their International Monetary Fund and World Bank continue to pillage and plunder these nations. Far more is extracted from these nations in debt payments than is given to these nations.

There is NOTHING generous about most loans to nations. Most are just to keep these nations under corporate control and to keep them from doing what any individual debtor in most rich nations can do: DECLARE BANKRUPTCY AND STOP PAYING. This is the single most effective tool to keep banks from making bad loans to unprepared individuals, unworthy entrepreneurs, propped-up dictators, and other second and third world puppets.

The citizens of these nations did NOT sign these loans. Elections in most of these nations are less democratic than even the sham Berlusconi-style, Bush-style, corporate-mega-media-controlled elections in rich nations.

BBC News. World Inequality. Charts showing the rapidly increasing wealth inequality between nations. Over the last decades the rich nations average per capita income is increasing, while poor nations per capita income is hardly increasing at all. The charts don\'t point out that even in the rich nations the income of the middle class and poor is not what is raising the average income. The wealthy are the only ones really increasing their income in real dollars when inflation is counted in. At the expense of the poor and middle class worldwide. In the USA even as recently as the 1950\'s many families were able to survive WELL on one person\'s income.
