The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Nor will it be reported on the internet.
For months now I have been saying that, like the John Lennon Song, the power to change what is happening in our country will be exercised by its people. After all, the United States is astrologically a Cancer and Cancer is the sign of “the people.” Think about it. Our Constitution, the governing document of our land (at least until yesterday) begins, “We the People…”
With yesterday’s passage of the so-called “detainee bill,” legislators have proven conclusively that they are unable to stop the decline into dictatorship. That job now lies with the public. And the public has already started the process.
Today, Common Dreams News Center published a story entitled, “Hundreds Arrested in Week of Anti-War Actions.” It states:
Since last Thursday, when more than 500 anti-war groups and religious organisations signed on to the “Declaration of Peace”, some 250 activists have been arrested in various cities for taking part in nonviolent actions.
Since I have been expecting this course of action, though not sure exactly when it would begin, I decided to see what else was being reported on other news sites. I started with a Google search. I tried searching for “peace rallies,” “peace demonstrations.” “anti-war demonstrations,” and a few other related terms. I was shocked to find that I was not getting any returns, at least not ones related to demonstrations in THIS country.
So I started going to specific newspaper sites, including the so-called liberal New York Times. Again, nothing.
I know I shouldn’t be surprised about the lack of news coverage. God(dess) forbid the public be given any ideas about its own power to change things. Despite the suppression of the stories, the feelings of discontent cannot be kept hidden. This country was founded by revolutionaries, and as Pluto, the lord of transformation, returns to it’s location at the time of the founding of this nation, expect to see history repeat itself.
