3. When the people who organize these things finally figure out
that they are wasting their breath because the corporate controlled media propaganda machine will just ignore them, when they finally figure out that what needs to be done is to surround the offices of the local TV station or newspaper and make it so the people who work there can't get in or out without running the gauntlet, when they finally make it so they can't be ignored, then, I will participate.

Though I have repeatedly participated in these events over the years, the last ones that actually did any good were the ones during the Vietnam war. It was a time, long, long ago when we the people actually had a media. We saw news about the war every night on the TV machine. Now, you wouldn't even know we are at war. It is simply not in the corporate rulers interest to show us any of that stuff. Now, all we see is the orange erection or the quitta from wassilla or two teabaggers and a porta potty. That is the news they want you to see and that is what you get to see.

We have to force the corporate propaganda machine to see us. We have to make it so they can no longer put us on ignore.

That is a demonstration I will gladly participate in.
