The leaders of the 20 largest economies, meeting as the “G20” on Oct. 30-31, accomplished the following at their summit:

• They allowed their meeting to open with a lecture by a titled prince, who is also the world’s most powerful environmentalist extremist maniac, HRH Charles, Prince of Wales, who is also ruling the Glasgow “FLOP26” climate summit to follow, and delivering its opening speech. The Prince called the G20 “the last chance saloon” to save the planet, and no doubt there were some of those open in Rome with specially high prices and alcohol content for the participants.

• They took no action on any of the most life-threatening, potentially mass-murderous economic breakdowns in the world, including those which their own nations had directly caused by war, in Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and Syria. This, although the mobilization to demand release of Afghanistan’s roughly $9 billion in funds seized by the United States, continues to grow, with a coalition of international charities making a direct appeal to the G20 conference to do that.

• They created, according to Politico, “the G20 Joint Finance-Health Task Force, charged with enhancing coordination against health threats and promoting joint actions, including deciding how to invest funds.” Outrageously, the communiqué which announces the Task Force, and which declares, “We reiterate our commitment to bring the pandemic under control everywhere as soon as possible,” speaks only of vaccines and does not commit to any aid to countries in which hospitals and healthcare systems have completely collapsed and shut down and millions are going without food—again, Afghanistan, Haiti, Yemen. https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/G20-Joint-Finance-and-Health-Ministers-Communique-29-October-2021.pdf
