I agree, Cheese, that if enough of us can propagate the truth with where
possible some wit and humour ( Mark Twain rightly said there is nothing like
humour to explode and atomize humbug)so as to ridicule these wretches
whenever possible then every now again the scales may fall from some eyes
and the momentum will gather and we might get a repeat of that so healthy
outrage of the 60s. Today's craven media are of course very different to
their 60s forebears and while I don't think that today's youth are
necessarily less idealistic they are probably not nearly as well informed
(they read less and most TV news is crap). People are fed up though -
according to the UK papers the turnout for this year's election is likely to
be the lowest since 1918 but I am afraid that abstention is not going to do
the trick either. What the fuck - just keep plugging away at what your'e
doing until you can think of something better. I can't think of anything
else for the moment either.

Ok, I agree also, "The Truth" is an impressive weapon in the right hands.
However, again, "one mind at a time" or "here and there" or "now and then
when available for presentation" just ain't gonna cut it in the face of an
entire System which should have been on trial for Treason against
"Democracy" long ago.
We need money, and lots of it, and now, like yesterday, not tomorrow.
And the organization to implement the presentation en masse.
Lemme see, I look out my window, one neighbor is barbecueing in his yard,
the next is washing his car, the next is playing basketball with his kids,
another is mowing his lawn, two others I haven't seen come out of their
houses for weeks now.
No TruthOut, GreenPeace, CommonDreams, NYTimes, AlterNet, WashingtonPost,
LATimes, etc etc etc, reaches them, ever. And they are among the 25 million
sure-thing voters who helped elect Bush in 2000 and 2004.
Nobody reaches them, except mainstream Media, and they apparently ain't got
much to say.
So, we add that up, no "The Truth" reaching all these millions of people,
add to that a System that should have been on trial for Treason long ago,
and stir in the right wing's talk show hosts, medias, bloggers, a whole
slough of slouches that can only be compared to something akin to "The New
Reborn Nazi Party" who wish News Delivery to be anything but unbiased and
objective, and trying to "reach people one mind at a time" leaves us where
we began. Reaching one person at a time.
In the face of our Top People running around with "Let's Not Play The Blame
Game" tattooed on their foreheads, on both sides of the aisle, that means
we're screwed.
We need cash. We need some million and billion "aires". Some with guts.
Some who would rather save Democracy than invest in oceanside property and
make a killing.
To help found an Organization that is *capable* of literally re-creating the
checks and balances that kept Democracy alive for so long, that have now
tipped the scales in favor of something that can only be referred to as
Hell's Advocates.
Find me some. Then I'll tell some jokes.
:)
I see, and get wind of, lots and lots of people working their *sses off, in
this organization or that one, or that place or this place, etc etc etc,
and, yep, that's what we need to combat such bs coming from the neo-right,
but apparently they can't seem to cross the lines of their own sides to
combine their forces, and money, to really get the job done.
That, I cannot understand.
They can't even ensure fair elections anymore. They don't have the cash and
the manpower to do it with.
The cash and the manpower are out there. They just can't pull it all
together to make it into a fighting force that is capable of rendering the
neo-right into obsolescence.
That, I cannot understand.
So, here, again, is the bottom line game plan.
Find one, maybe more, millionaire in each of the 50 states that still gives
a rat's *ss about Democracy. Convince them to invest one million, or more,
into an organization that will do what it is supposed to do, at the end of a
certain time, they get their millions back as the organization will be
floating by then on the interest alone of their investments in a CD or
something. Combine that $ with an appeal to "The Little People" of America
(all non-millionaires). =There= is the start up $ for such an Organization.
Manning it, managing it, and implementing it properly, without a majority of
the $ going for brunches, airfares, and cushy chairs like any other
"charity", is another level.
Without such an Organization, a *powerful* one, fully manned, educated,
capable, and perpetually moving forward "Spreading The Real Truth", we
really don't have a c*cksucking crapola chance of hell of ever even
retaining what we at one time even thought we possessed in such a country as
this, and might as well throw the baby out with the bath water, as the
game's just about over.
People like "People for the American Way" (is that its name?) etc etc etc.
Great, great organizations, they just don't seem to cut it though. And they
can't get together and coalesce with all the other great "democracy loving"
organizations out there, nor do they apparently see a need to, nor will
they.
Without a giant powerful "democracy-loving" Organization out on the front
lines of "America" NOW, we don't really stand a chance.
There are about 7,000 people in this little town I live in. I can just
about guarantee you that maybe 2 people in the entire place have ever even
heard of something called The Federalist Society, even though supreme court
judges, etc etc etc currently retain membership in such an
***ORGANIZATION***, nor can these people tell me what such a thing as The
Federalist Society, which they have never even heard of, even believes in.
Among a zillion other things they cannot tell you what is involved in them
or what they are about.
They simply have just never heard of them.
And these amazing little obscure little things Rule America at the current
moment.
There IS nothing better than "Getting The Truth To The Actual People Of
America" and simply educating them in their VAST ignorance of the world
swirling around them sucking them down into the nether regions of something
they don't even know they're being sucked down into.
And The Truth Shall Set You Free.
I sincerely believe that.
The only Major Problem that remains is actually getting The Truth to the
actual People.
NOBODY is capable of doing that, especially "one mind at a time" (unless
they're prepared to wait a few hundred years to be able to *finally* reach
everyone), without said ***ORGANIZATION*** to combat the ***ORGANIZATION***
already in place controlling the entire Government at this very moment.
And that Organization takes FUNDING. At least the start up money. And the
MILLIONAIRES and the BILLIONAIRES are out there who very likely might still
believe in something called "The Truth" and "Real Democracy", or at least
some realistic derivation thereof, and who would put up such Front Money,
especially if it is to get back into their pockets some day.
And SOMEONE has to do this. And approach those people, at least the ones
who are not too cheap to "take a chance" on something obscure like actually
saving their f*cking country.
And ***I*** am stuck here currently on food stamps with a pickup that won't
even make it out of town.
So that leaves PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ON THIS LIST who are mobile, smarter than
me, have more connections, know who how when and where to approach these
people, have the talents to convince them, have the talents to make such an
***ORGANIZATION***, and just f*cking DO IT.
And if you DON'T get started on this idea RIGHT NOW, when I get out of here
I am going to kick all of your *sses for typing a bunch of crap on my
computer screen and passing by an idea which is much better, feasible, and
workable than "The Global Postcard".
You, America, The World, NEEDS such an Organization and Right Now.
Without it, you are toast, your country is toast, Democracy is toast, the
world is toast.
YOU, all of you, need this Organization, and you need The Money People who
haven't yet been turned to stone by the Neo-Right scumbags yet.
I'm tired of hearing people whining and asking "what can we do".
You know what you can do, and how to do it, and it's just all been laid out
in plain black and white here right now on your computer screens for you.
You HAVE to have such a POWERFUL Organization to even just MILDLY combat the
Organization that is currently in place that all of you continuously bitch
about in your apparent helplessness against it.
There *****IS***** no other "Option".
Period.
If you do NOT get together and begin to form it, capabalize it, implement
it, and empower it, and march it down the streets of the world, then you are
as stupid, as inept, and as big a loser as I am, and should be sitting here
on food stamps unable to get your vehicle out of town just like me rather
than sitting there bitching on your computer screens as your country and the
world turns to sh*t before your eyes.
