Shut down blocks of the city, dozens of roads, stop the right of free travel....

So these dolts of self importance can move about.

Tell me about it! I went through the same crap when APEC held their conference in Honolulu last year. Part of Honolulu was on lock down, it looked and felt like a Police State.

Why would the commoners rebel under such great leadership and protection?

These higher education institutions are turning out some real talent.

They know best. They are in fact the "experts".

I feel so safe.

It's the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation. It's participants are heavy-hitters and world elites from Asia (including Russia). President Obama attended too. Their agenda is globalization.

It's highly annoying, but then when you have insane occupy & ruckus types running around, what are you going to do? Obama had two fundraisers in Bellevue WA, not far from where I live, and there were loud helicopters buzzing overhead all day long. Doesn't really bother me if that is what they think is necessary to ensure his well-being. God forbid that we get Pres. Joe.

I cannot comment on NATO, but we are the "human Resources" of groups like APEC. Guess who pays for the security of these groups? It's taxpayers. These uber-wealthy billionaires make the plebs pay for their own security.
