7. Yep. If we want change, we have to continue to make it ourselves, because conservatives

and their beloved 1% masters are going to fight progressive change every step of the way. The Democratic party primary system is one way that the conservative flying monkeys of the Military Industrial Complex establishment keep the 1% safe from democracy.

Information, communication, and the internet are our best weapons for negating the lies, propaganda, stupidity, corruption, and authoritarian needs of conservatives and conservatism. We have just recently killed off Reaganism with information and truth.

Before we had widespread internet, conservatives could use TV media and AM radio as a means of propaganda to brainwash enough of the population to maintain the status quo of the Military Industrial Complex. Now, the internet is our means of countering their disinformation program.

We see conservatives on this board (and everywhere else) repeatedly using the most awful and transparent bullshit propaganda to discourage the proliferation of progressive Democrats, progressive activism, progressive activists, and support of progressive activist groups, such as Occupy and Anonymous. The thing is, most people can see through their disingenuous bullshit, because now we have the ability to immediately and directly expose it for what it is. Not to mention that they make such shameless fools of themselves that it is embarrassing to watch.

Conservatives and conservatism get totally exposed as fraudulent when exposed in the light of information.

Their only option for survival now is to find a way to control the flow of information on the internet, and then institute it. And this is one reason why they hate Anonymous, wikileaks, Julian Assange, etc and are smearing Julian Assange, etc., on a daily basis. As long as we have independent citizen's watchdog individuals and collectives on the net, we will have a means of exposing the lies of the conservatives, and a means to struggle to keep the internet open and free, in order that it may continue to provide us with a free flow of information and communication that is not controlled and altered by wealthy private interests and their conservative flying monkeys.

This is one huge reason that, IMO, Anonymous is so very important at this time history.

I really like this quote from one of H20 Man's DU essays ~

"Keep on fighting the Good Fight, my forum friends. This is a unique period in our history. And no state or federal official or agency is going to “save” the United States. But we will. Believe it."

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” ~ Jefferson
