(4,417 posts)It's a very powerful message, well worth listening all the way through.
The huge difference between previous responses to the Fascist takeovers, however, was that the images of the oppression were being distributed by news organizations that had integrity.
There are far too few public figures and news organizations actually showing the people what is happening. The major news organizations have been as thoroughly corrupted as the government and its agencies. Only a relatively tiny number of people know how badly.
The ICE situation in Minneapolis appears to be too big and compelling for the new orgs to suppress completely, but they are still spinning it, and trumpeting (pun intended) the noise that keeps coming from the Whitehouse to distract us.
False numbers, events and "truths" that never occurred; confusion over the policies and implementations; the incompetent and dangerous Cabal that dares to call itself a Cabinet, and is focussed more on undeserved adulation than administration, all are being covered up every day by the ultimately complicit news organizations afraid of losing access.
They have the access, but they are not reporting on the fundamental problems they are seeing due to that access. They are failing to insist on answers to the troubling, nay catastrophic, things they are witnessing.
That is the biggest challenge we have to overcome.
