(62,325 posts)We had no representatives with a big enough microphone to let the world know what we thought and how angry over what has happened to this country, people were. OWS was the first demonstration of what was there, and they were so frightened to see it rising to the surface that they went to WAR against that peaceful movement. Frank Luntz I believe, stated that he was 'terrified of OWS'.
They thought when they bought the media and fed the public all the propaganda and totally 'controlled the message' as Hillary once stated when she was asking for funding to help us 'get our message out' because she was afraid that all the independent media and foreign media, thanks to the internet, was 'doing a better job'. Iow, THEY were publishing NEWS and it was drowning out 'the message'.
They so underestimated the fact that people KNOW when something is wrong and no amount of propaganda or news blackouts regarding FACTS, changes that.
Bernie is merely providing that voice and it's interesting to see even Republicans saying they will vote for him, NOT because they agree with him on many things, but on the MAIN things, ending Wall St Greed, interfering in every country in the globe, and mostly, the MONEY IN POLITICS, they want those things fixed first then can go back to arguing over the rest.
