That's the exact same reason I watch Fox News. I tune in to Billo and Hannity sometimes just to listen to what propaganda they're spewing. I usually can't watch for longer than 10 minutes though.

I would love to infiltrate Fox News' live broadcast, they're based in New York?

I haven't seen the movie network but I saw the clips in Zeitgeist and they were some of my favorite quotes in that movie. I'm going to have to watch it on one of these free movie websites. What's it about, killing your tv?

Wouldn't that be great if one of us could somehow actually get on fox News or MSM and talk straight to the American people, as Ms. Palin says? Hack into their broadcasting system or something?

Hell ya I'm effing mad.

I think we should target the SOB special interest groups.

Politicians hear public outrage in one ear and then in the other they hear the opposite from their lobby groups.

Mass emails are one of the most ineffective ways of contacting congress to try and influence them.


MOre effective would be to contact lobbyist groups, state reps, specific fed agencies and CEO's directly.

Form a local group of like minded people, brainstorm the best place to protest and call the media about the event. Look how effective Joe - the-Plumber was !! Some ideas, Your state capitol, local district representive offices, Corporate offices of lobbiest groups.

Create youtube vids and get them viral. Again, contact the MSM and use them for your benefit. MSM loves youtube.

Hope this helps.

I'm available in my area to get things started. U2U me !!

We should def. atart making some youtube vids! i don't have a webcam but if we make them creative enough they'll get a lot of attention.

And i wish there was more people where I live that cared so that we could go to the capitol and protest. any ideas on how to find local activist groups?

Another resource to exploit would be high profile people that are sympathetic with our cause. Journalists, media personalities Lou Dobbs, Dylan Ratigan), economists ( Paul Krugman)....you get the idea !!

YES. I am mad as hell. What can we do about it? The average person in America is so dumbed down by the media that they have no clue what is going on. Go ahead and ask any person on the street what they think about the $700B bailout and they will simply shrug and say we had to do it. You know why, the media said so. Those who control the media can convince the population to back anything.

The public has been scammed. The govenment told us for weeks before that the economy was sound. Then out of nowhere came "We must pass this $700B bailout or we are all doomed". No time to think, we must act now or we are all going down the tubes. Even those elected to congress fell for it.

The media controlls the population. It tells us who to vote for, how to think and how to live. If you don't agree they attack you as an idiot or troublemaker. Don't step out of line.

Here is a little test for everyone to show how dumbed down we have become. Ask 10 random people two questions: 1. Name one Senator or Congressmen that represents you in Washington. 2. Name last seasons American Idol and Dancing with the Stars winners.

I would bet maybe 2 out of 10 will be able to answer the first question. About 8 out of 10 will be able to answer the second question.

Geraldo Rivera is an idiot, that video ticked me off.
These people have the right to demonstrate and it's not just a demonstration were talking about but some of the family members of victims who know that someone on the inside was behind it all. It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out with all the evidence pointing in that direction on 9/11.

The media has never even discussed the possibility because they follow instructions and cannot discuss it. Think about it, if they were fair and unbiased and not controlled they would be willing to at least discuss the possibility of 9/11 being an inside job but of course it never happened only a few guests here and there that were torn a new one for even suggesting such a thought.

Absolutely insensitive on Retard Rivera's part to comment the way he did, calling them thugs, communists and even tightening his fist as if he wanted to go after them. What an idiot, I agree the media is beyond controlled. It's ridiculous every single piece of information that is released to the public goes through inspection before it can air. That is the procedure and guess who owns the media? I'm sure we can all guess who.

I agree completely, no time to think, no time to actually read it, just pass it. It's ridiculous! but i do think there's something we can do, there has to be.

I don't know what it's going to do but i sent an email to Keith Olbermann (LOL) he's at least someone in the MSM that seems like he cares.

That clip gives me chills when he says that line "I'm a human being GD it my life has value!!". That's what we need to do, actually get on the television.

There are alot of things I'm Mad about


Everything you mentioned in this thread and much much more.

But what can we really do about it is the question?

I mean that's why these people can get away with so much, it's because they know they can get away with it.

They know that the most we can do is complain about it and get upset but really what more can we do?

Start an uprise and riot?
It's not an easy thing to do
and you can only imagine the
outcome.


The system is tightening down on us like prison bars with a cell block # included. When martial law is declared which highly likely will eventually happen the only thing left to hand out will be the prison uniforms.


Mod note: Please do not circumvent the censors. Just find words that aren't profane

At this point to tell you the truth I don't care what the repercussions are, I'd rather do something in protest then sit back and let them do this to us. If it's going to happen we might as well put up a fight! You have to fight for your rights just like the founders did.

Not much you can do about it without things getting out of hand. You start an uprising and the TPTB will have the media brand you a terrorist and you will be dealt with swift and decisive violence. You would have to give up everything you have to make a stand. How many people are willing to do that?

I've come to the realization that fighting with words can only go so far.

The problem is that our nation is so divided right now, that the government realizes that we will fight each other first before we try to fight them.

In prison, rarely do we see the inmates unite to take down the prison guards... Usually the just fight against themselves.

This is what we can expect in Americas future... No Revolution, No Protest, No Revolt, No fighting for Liberty,.... Just a bunch of Americans fighting each other.

When the time is right (and I even have two little children and a wife)... But when the time is right,... I know which enemy I've targeted first.

Sorry Jesus, but I can only turn the other cheek so many times.

There's enough to get our voices heard and maybe open a few people's eyes. If we could only get organized and put in a united effort.
I have to go to work but when i get home i'm coming straight here to brainstorm!

I still stand firm that the only successful revolutions in change started when ppl started taking personal responsibility rather than waiting for others to join them for their "voice to be heard."

The only way that ANYONE will succeed is to cut themselves off from the very ones who have their hands in EVERYTHING you do....

YOu must learn to 100% completely rely on yourself regardless of consequence and teach others around you to do the same.

When, and ONLY when they decide to come after you for being your own person living your own life, you will finally have the right legs to stand on and the right confidence to stand up to them.

For ppl to rally others for means of protest that have proven time and again to fail is what you are supposed to do. You are continuing to take advantage of a society and thus your voice falls flat. It raises hopes then crashes them back down. Sure, it is more exciting than sucking it up and removing life out from under their control, but excitement is not what the founding fathers nor men like gandhi were after.

Freedom only comes when you are willing to give it to everyone else. Don't knock those who don't want it and would rather opt for security, whether perceived or real. Just figure out what you don't like that the government is doing and rid anything of association to it from your life.

IT IS all there is to do.
