19. The people I know *are* taking action. But it's not reported.

Dec 2013

As far as media is concerned, many of us are invisible. The millions signing up for the ACA, the millions who voted in 2012, they acted as if they were surprised.

They'll obsfuscate as much as they can to weaken progressives and liberals by calling them weak to make the public give up and not vote in 2014. That's what all this negativity is about.

They oppose any kind of democratic governance success in order to pave the way for stealing the Commons. They are doing the bidding of the billionaires who own the media and give them scripts to read.

That goes for pundits who write a lot of the sturm and drang we get all the time or the mealy mouthed whining and complaints. They know it gets attention, so they will use it through 2014.

If anything good goes on, they will not report it. I remember the horror on MSM when PBO won the election last year. They thought those of us they want to be invisible bought their sales pitch. The actions that are going on right now are not going to be reported.

Nice talking with you. See you later.
