It is extremely important that we understand fully the nature of our enemy, which includes knowing to what extent they will go to stay in power.

I am not in full agreement on "who controls the media" in our country. Yes, our enemy owns Fox, etc. But we have the ability to use the media to our advantage. The potential is there, but we do not have the discipline. Just one example: if tonight on a right-wing site like this, one of the recognized leaders requested everyone to write a letter-to-the=editor of their local newspaper, thousands would do it. They could do it every Sunday night. In fact, they do. But we don't. We lack the discipline. We do not have the ability to get those simple L.T.T.E. out. That is one of the major reasons they "control" the media. Once we started doing LTTE, in a month people would understand the power of street theater. Monkey warefare. Grass roots media.

Finally, the Nazis could only be Nazis because the majority of the good and decent people lacked the discipline to be good and decent people. That is what pessimism does to people. Please be optimistic. We are going to win, though it will be hard. People will have to suffer and sadly die, until we reach the point where we develop that self-discipline needed to change this society.
