(6,862 posts)72. Protests don't work anymore because
it's bad for business and therefore censored to non-existence. The largest gathering of protesters in human history took place all over the world prior to the March 2003 Invasion of Iraq. And most Americans are not even aware of that remarkable little fact. It drove me bat shit back then because I read DU and knew it was all lies. Deliberate lies intended to frighten all of us into war and "to get those bastards that did this to us." And that was the turning point where "the powers that be" learned that hitler's "big lie" propaganda techniques works as good in the present as it did in Germany in 1933!
