6. They are systematically removing every avenue we have left

to fight back against the One Percent.

Investigative journalism and a free press have been gravely assaulted and are increasingly replaced with a ubiquitous, interactive propaganda machine.

Gathering places online are disrupted and infiltrated by corporate spew.

Mass surveillance and a police state ensure that any real organization for change or resistance can be ended before it even begins.

And now they are going after the internet itself....our access to information and ability to communicate with one another.

This is corporate fascism brought to America, advancing rapidly.
