Why are they missing the revolution right in front of their noses ??
The revolution is happening as we speak. This occurred to me from a report I saw yesterday of the #1 bestseller on Amazon. It was Glenn Greenwald's book! Not advertised on CNN, or FOX , or MSNBC, like some of the other authors. Some have even been on the Comedy Show and The Colbert Report. But not Greenwald? Still he is #1 on the Amazon bestseller list? What does this mean?

Things are going on that someone is missing and it seems to be going on on the Internet. If the MSM is so far behind and the politicians are so far behind the revolution that is taking place, what can we expect in November? Will we wake up the day after election to the breaking news that the politicians had no idea what was going on? They missed it. But there was a revolution happening on the Internet and they all over-looked it?

The Howard Dean phenomena last election should have told them that something is happening. Now it is slipping up behind them and it's gonna bite them on the ass. Real hard! At least, that is my hope.

1. This is why the internet is being sold
or gifted away to the telecoms companies.

The WH wants CONTROL,they don't want free speech,they don't want people gathering together,if they make"loiter" laws online..tyhere goes out freedom if they can stop freedom of speech online,what to stop them from doing it everywhere else? At work people watch what they say already..

3. Yep
The junta learned from the errors of the Nixon gang, but the internet was a wild card. They intend to pocket the wild card now that they see what it can do.

4. Exactly why. But it won't help them. Life finds a way (the only thing
Michael Crichton ever said worth quoting. Or was is Stephen Spielberg?;)

2. the "revolution" can only be won if we go out there and pound the pavement
before the midterms.
