Laying it all out.

We know that our government is too big for its britches. That's a given at this point. We know that it has crapped all over the Constitution, is going to do it again, and could care less about what the people of this country think about that fact. The PTB are too entrenched to be ousted without violence. THAT'S a given.

But what really poses a problem for me, is how do they get away with it Time and Time again without retribution?


The Media.


The Fourth Estate of power in this country.


Look at what has been happening over the last 24 hours. Locally there isn't much of a peep about it. Why? Because there isn't an ongoing gun battle? NO. I think it more the fact that they are trying to keep the fire down at this point. Like with the broken windows a week ago. There was a little uproar about it. They had a couple of repeats, realized that if they had shut up about it, the fact would die(and it did for the most part) and the fire wouldn't blaze out of control.

Thats trivial. Standard propaganda tactics. My biggest beef with standard media is conflation of issues, lack of follow up, and then the big blow off. Here is a great example of that.

Man has Class A license and has guns confiscated thanks to wifey.

Have you heard anymore about it? Of course not, Bad guy off streets, everyone is safe to sleep in their beds again. Nothing to see here, go back to watching Idol or 24 or whatever.

Conflated big time, this guy was made out to be some grand kook, railroaded into courts then left hanging by the national media.

I went digging to see what I could find about it. The poor sod is still being railroaded but now by the judge. His story barely makes Local coverage. Not one peep from the Nationals on it as now, ITS NOT NEWS. They conflated it to scare the sheep of the nation and to drum up fears of "militias and Right wing extremists". Then they let it hang, no follow up. Now that the guy is about to be exonerated since most of the charges have been dropped(so long as the testing of his 'silencers' is honest) they will blow it off as if NOTHING HAPPENED AT ALL.

So, How does that equate with todays happenings, or the window war?


I don't think I need to add much to that.


My only question is, What do we do about it when the time comes?
