I was at the NYC Feb 15, 2003 Protest to stay outta Iraq and there were close to a Million people..I don't care how many thousands the nyt underestimated it.
And World Wide that day there were Millions saying NO to war on Iraq.
bush and the corporate media sniffed, "fringe people"!
Fuck them.

36. There were a more, many more, than the 100,000 the media |
|
reported in DC on September 24.
There were more at the Jazz Funeral, Wake for Democracy, etc, than the few hundred the press reported.
You know, covering events is hard werk for our press corpse. Cuts into the time they need for body wraps, facial peels, wardrobe, manicures, make-up and hair.

3. Damn, if only there were a million people |
|
Then our MSM might deem it newsworthy and give it a 10 second mention.
Are the MSM covering this at all?

I've been hearing about evidence that there was vote tampering. They also used electronic voting machines by Deibold. We all know what that spells. Calderon is going to help the SPP get what they want. I hope Obrador wins so we don't have that crap going on. http://www.spp.gov/http://infowars.com/articles/nwo/american_union_bush_fast_tracks_formation.htm

62. Students often can be some of the best teachers |
|
The 'MINISTERS' will now serve you. Concepts and details have to coexist to make themselves relevant and without the idea of conspiracy all humans would be in the dark when it come to looking for clues to what is up. Alex Jones loves to hammer on people who have been placed in positions of power (with good reason in my opinion). He likes to point out the language they use, their lexicons and even just the way they carry themselves to show how much contempt some of them have for the rest of us.
All too often we are left with just so few clues that the idea parsing language our best hope. In short, not saluting the appointed king because he doesn't really have ALL of best interest at heart is where we all can meet.
Btw being unfamiliar with terms different groups use does not make one a fool per say, but only different and using a different locution

40. Mexico used paper ballots and Calderon's brother-in-law wrote the software |
|
that tabulates the votes. There is still software in there...
The fact that they stole an election on paper is a warning to us all that there is no perfect system, that checks & balances must be installed at all stages in the process.

"Most Americans", especially the "greatest generation", who saved Europe from the Nazis, want to believe this is the world's greatest democracy and a "free" country, just like they told us in school. Why, election fraud couldn't POSSIBLY happen here, right?

if the truth comes out - and their democracy is 'served', that ours will COUNT as well. bush is was NEVER elected president of the US - and our world would be so very different if enough people had told the truth and stood up for our democracy. (I'm not blaming Gore) In hindsight maybe more could have been done- I don't know- NONE of US knew HOW much tragedy we were in for as a result of the Bush presidency. I bellieve Al Gore did what he felt was the best for US, at that time.
