He who controls the message.... wins the war

There is this myth that nobody has taken over to the streets over the last seven years

Those of us who have gone out and protested know the truth... people have taken to the streets

So here is a sample of those... and some... surprise, surprise, come from the foreign press

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2765215.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7065975.stm

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/1013-01.htm

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N02410338.htm

And this is but a small sample

There is more... we have even had tanks in the streets... either 2002 or 2003 in Los Angeles... but I cannot track that story down

Fact is that many now believe that we haven't had any marches... and that is mission accomplished

One of the lessons of the Vietnam Conflict, where those protests were at the top of national and local newscasts, was to control that message and make sure that those protests didn't figure anywhere in Corpo media land.

Many of us have asked, how do you change that dynamic? Oh and by the way, if anybody paid close attention to the coverage of the rally yesterday in Oregon... you didn't see the crowds in Teeevee. Care to tell me why?

Yes, he controls the past controls the future, and message control is essential in this war... and this is a war... a class war.

Oh and here are the tanks

Oh and before anybody says it, yes I know who alex jones is, why there is also a link to Indymedia

Why is it that there's no link to... the NYT? Why the silence? Control the message
