Home of the Brave

| Activists Comfort Each Other at Michigan and Cermak |
By now you have been saturated by the media’s coverage of
the NATO protest from May 18, 2012 to May 21, 2012. Much of the Corporate Media’s
Coverage is slanted in support of the War Machine, and Chicago’s establishment.
Much of it is propaganda. It is not news.
They are telling what they want you
to know, and what you should think about it. Anyone, and anything, that does
not give weight to their twisted view is quashed quickly. They do not want you
to know. They do not want you to think. And, By the Will of the Corporate Gods,
you sure had better not question their denunciation. However....
Since when is it such a brave deed for
13,000 (plus) armored, armed, trained Paramilitary
Police Officers to oppose 3,000 peaceful,
t-shirt, tank top clad sign carrying citizens of the United States?
The brave ones
were not the ones supporting the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The brave one is the unarmed activist who stood up against war, and squandering the nation's wealth. There were well over 3,000 of them. Closer to 10,000 to 12,000 brave individuals by some sources.
Here are two articles, and the video I
shot from 8:00AM to 6:00PM on Sunday, May 20, 2012.
Morning at LaSalle and Jackson
Afternoon Rally
The Police Move In
I use to ask why the Mayor of Chicago fears the people so much. Anymore, I don't care. "Why" no longer matters. As Mark Twain said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
