1. I'm Not Allowed
by DU rules, to post what I think will be necessary to stop the Buzis agenda. It's not on your list of options, probably for the same reason I can't actually voice it here...but you probably know what I'm thinking will be necessary. I wish there could be another way, but I don't see any other way.

They ignore our protests. They pen us up in "free-speech zones" a mile or more away from the intended target of the protest...and if they film any of it for the news, they always manage to find a way to make it look like a lot smaller a protest than it actually is.

The corporate media offers no solution. They are bought and paid for by our oppressors...who in turn, are bought and paid for by the media.

The ballot box offers no solution. Our enemies control the voting machines, which leave no paper trail...and they control the machinery that counts the votes...so the outcome is always sure to be exactly what they want it to be, no matter HOW we actually vote.

Civil disobedience is no longer an option. It won't work. We'll just get arrested, and the news media will make it look like it was "just a couple of kooks."

There is, in my mind, but one option left. And I'm not allowed to actually say what I think it is.
