What is G~8??

[HoneySuckleBlue]

People are talking about this summit but no one says what it was about...

The eight leading industrial nations of the world; the USA, Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Canada, and Russia, which account for more than three-fifths of global GDP. Founded as the Group of Seven (G7) in 1975, without Russia, the heads of government have met once a year to discuss economic and, increasingly, political matters. Russia attended the annual summits from 1991, and became a full member in 1998, when the name of the organization was changed. Summits are also attended by the president of the European Commission.



The group formed during the 1970s with the aim of coordinating international management of exchange rates following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system of fixed rates. However, its intervention in the mid-1980s was later blamed for the 1987 stock-market crash, and annual summits increasingly became forums for discussion of topical issues rather than policy-formulating sessions.

there have always been assholes that think they sit above humanity and dictate how things are, but they are deluding themselves because the real power lies in the hands of the people.

this is why in the Bible it says to be in the world, but not of it. these assholes in power are of the world - it's all they know and they sold their Souls to parade about for a bit. they are the stupidest beings on the planet. don't let it bother you spiritually; this too shall pass.

love.

Some wise words borrowed from themnax:

People loose touch with reality when they love the world of human society more than the wild nature of the Earth its self.
