Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

OWS Chicago: Facing Global Protest, G8 Retreats

The Group of 8 Summit, a meeting of the governments of the world's eight largest economies, was supposed to convene in Chicago this May. For months, Occupy Chicago, international anti-war groups, Anonymous, and hundreds of allies have publicly planned to shut it down. Now, only two months before the meeting is scheduled to begin, U.S. President Barack Obama is moving the assembly of over 7,000 leaders from the world’s wealthiest governments to the Camp David presidential compound, located in rural Maryland near Washington, DC, one of the most secure facilities in the world. The Chicago Tribune reports that summit organizers are "stunned" by the news.

Obama is afraid of confronting OWS in an election year so he is running away.

Why bother announcing where they are going to meet? Why not just keep it secret? Is there some law that says they must announce it?
It seems like they are inviting protests.

They've been meeting in secret for years. Now it's just too big to hide.
By the way this mess is what you get by having secret meetings.

Okay what about meeting some place where it's hard for the protesters to get to?
Edit: I am just thinking of all the physical damage the protester do.

It would be easy to jump on Obama for this, but I actually agree with it.
The G8/G20/etc meeting locations have turned into a lightning rod for all sorts of crazies, anarchists and professional protesters.
It costs the hosting cities literally millions of dollars for security and to repair all the damage the protesters do each time it is held.

Chicago is the capital of Obamaland, and obviously is far too dangerous to host an event like this.

It looks like Obama traded potential disaster, both political, economic and physical, in the future for a small political hit now. OWS won now. We'll have to see if they can pull of a bigger win in the future.
