While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” District of Columbia statute enforcement officers (acting under-color-of-law), with batons and pepper spray, violently breakup a peaceful and lawful demonstration against the International Monetary Fund and World (central) Bank meetings.  The crowd, of about 100 and organized by the National Lawyers Guild, was expressing their displeasure at the way world leaders were not solving the Great Recession.
