Indymedia: "100 participants of a peaceful bicycle demonstration that was part of the bicycle caravan against the G8 were arrested in Utrecht yesterday in a planned and violent police action for not driving on the bicycle path. They were kept in arrest under adverse circumstances - overcrowded cells, insufficient oxygen supply, without food - long into the night, their bicycles confiscated. Four people are still under arrest today, among them at least two members of the bicycle caravan Gr8chaoskaravaan; one arrestee is being threatened with deportation and one is to remain arrested for two weeks for failing to pay a fine. None of the four remaining arrestees has had contact to a lawyer so far and it is not know where they are being held. Another caravan member was released but had his passport confiscated by the Foreigners Police. The caravan info office protested against the criminalisation of protest actions ahead of the G8 summit and calls for solidarity actions until everyone is out. Preparations for solidarity actions are currently taking place."

Infowars: "In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly little attention this week the United States and the European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership that will see regulatory standards 'harmonized' and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into one single market, a huge step on the path to a new globalized world order.
The BBC reported from the Summit in Washington on Monday:
The two sides agreed to set up an 'economic council' to push ahead with regulatory convergence in nearly 40 areas, including intellectual property, financial services, business takeovers and the motor industry.
It is commonly accepted that reforms to strengthen the European Parliament, scheduled to be implemented before 2009, could undermine the ability of member states to opt out of EU laws, as Britain does at present, effectively ending national sovereignty."
It's all about privatization, deregulation and evading national laws. And when the American economy goes down, Europe will go down with it. You see, it's all done to benefit the big corporations, not the citizens.
