Of all cities...the historic significance of squelching revolution in Boston will not be overlooked. |

This is going to be big. The media has done everything in its power to downplay the nationwide protests, and I don't think there is anything coincidental about the crackdown starting in the very place where our democracy began. A message was sent. It's going to get very interesting.

2. We will have to use the internet to stay abreast, because I see the little coverage it is |
|
getting from the MSM beginning to shut down as a part of the silencing process.

9. I got home from work at 1:30 am, just as the clampdown was beginning. |
|
A 16 hour day working to defeat the GOP, and DU was the only place I could find news about this. Silly me...I remember the day when the "24 hour news" was a place to turn to for, well...the news.
We shouldn't be so smug about the Internet being our lifeline. "They" know it, too.

8. Nothing has been squelched if the protest continues |
|
indeed, at that point the attempts to squelch begin to look ineffective.
As stated in other replies, the answer to arrests is more protesters in more protests.

10. That's why I say it's going to get interesting. |
|
I think The Clampdown will only serve to ratchet it up a notch. The question is, how do the powers react to whatever comes next?
