But they don't control the British press ...
They may have the American press bowed down and whimpering but the British press is not yet under their control. The DSM is being pushed by stories from the British press. There is more to come. Much more to come, in my opinion. We should not be too discouraged with the submission of once-great papers like the NY Times or the Washington Post because the truth will find its way to the American people. And the great swath that creates will let these American giants know that they can follow or get out of the way. Sorry fellows..

1. You're absolutely right!!
With the current climate in this country our minds play tricks on us and we can come to think all is lost if our media is unresponsive. But of course that's not true. Also, the Repubs may block our path to * et. al., but that does not mean that we can't go after Blair. It may be the case in the end that * is dragged down by Blair's coattails rather than vice versa.

2. What about the BBC
you know Big Brother Communications? They operate in the building where Orwell wrote 1984. Funny how mainstream media will give away more info about other countries though. Just like here in the US mainstream media did exposes on the Diana conspiracy, and overseas they would cover over 9/11 or other scandals they wouldn't dare touch here.

3. We need to make a plea...

...a "Luke,-you-are-our-only-hope" type of plea to the international media. Let them know that the American people need them...need their voices. The truth is NOT BEING REPORTED accurately in this country...if it is even being reported at all. People outside this country say they hate what the US government is doing...but they LOVE the American people. Well, if that is true.....then help us...
