Please remember that when the Soviet Union fell, the first sites liberated and occupied were the TV and radio stations. This was a wise move. So?...What’s your plan for controlling the message? ( wintertime)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?...You plan to boycott the mainstream media. While I support that, it still isn’t a plan for getting your message out.

What plan do you have for controlling the message. If the event isn’t covered, it might just as well not have happened. Those who over threw tyranny at the fall of the Soviet Union understood this very basic but very important concept.

Actually, when the Soviet Union fell, “the first sites liberated and occupied(?) were” East Germany and the Iron Curtain countries. The media outlets were a secondary concern that, in that particular case, were happy to be free of the state control over what passed for news in those countries.

Here it is a little different. Since the state doesn’t have direct control over the media outlets, they voluntarily manipulate, cover up and distort the news. And, when whatever plan that initiates the retaking of our government breaks, the mass media will ignore, distort, lie, or cover the story up.

And, there is NO WIN when you have someone standing behind a “news broadcaster” in America pointing a gun at him/her to force him to tell the right story. Even the DBM has had to acknowledge that the Internet is the source of most people’s news today and I think that is an appropriate outlet in the near term for whatever happens. I simply don’t trust the DBM to cover a story like this honestly or objectively.
