Hi :waves: hope you caught #5 while you were typing.

I definitely noticed how they shaped the news with the cabinet, just like in 2000 with their crying about timely recounts. You make an excellent point that the parallels would stick if the timing was right. However, we need to know whose side they will naturally take. It has been 3 weeks and coverage has been superficial. If US election fraud makes no noise, then we have had our shot and failed.

You have an excellent idea there. When we see the first glimmerings of the wave, we have to jump. WE HAVE TO get in the streets, on the news with protests, so there coverage amplifies.

What I FEAR, though, is that this WILL happen in Ukraine, which makes for much better news. If there is some middling reporting of US issues, and then riots in Ukraine, they won't come back to US issues for a while, if ever. It is all up to the people to make sure the story sticks.


Just 2.125 cents
