Reply #18: Excellent points! We do need to make back-up plans for the INTERNET. [View All]

Divide and conquer. This is the Modus Operandi of Corporate America.

Today we have the INTERNET and complete availability to communicate in a fast paced and precise way, whereas tomorrow what will we have?

Already we have heard of issues with the INTERNET being a problem for national security, so how long before they pull the plug?

The back up plan needs to be addressed now, by acknowledgment, and thoroughly following January 20th, 2005, unless some substantial and historical progress on voting rights and election protection takes place by then.

If we enter the new year without an effective communications process and tools, we are risking a lot more than we can afford to.

Also, you can be certain that whatever remnants of the INTERNET or high speed communications remains that the feds will dedicate manpower to total surveillance of those communications outlets in order to maintain their tight grip on both political power and any and all resources.

IMO Their presence in INTERNET forums has already begun, and has resulted in the announcements that the INTERNET is a potential national security risk that must be addressed. Again, IMO.

Devising and implementing an economic coalition on behalf of a political movement will become impossible IMO if another year slips past without this opportunity being acted on and finally implemented.

We are way. way behind these corporations and their movement to join forces.

Additionally, the pilferers are on the verge of stealing the last remaining assets available to truly independent progressives, and when communications is restored to the media available to our founding fathers, carrying out such an ambitious act of solidarity via an economic coalition will become unlikely at best.

Real income is steadily declining, while real debt is steadily growing. Soon only the elites will have the availability to make such bold economic decisions such as joining or economically backing a coalition of companies that are responsive to our political ends.

I ask you, if they were interested, wouldn't they have already reacted to the corporate partnerships and started the process of human self defense? I dare say yes! They are too comfortable and have not bought into the notion that our fledgling Democracy is about to have its spirit killed off here in the United States of America.

What have the progressive elites done to counter the corporate personification and entitlement to human status under the law?

What is the progressive elites game plan?

Maybe I just am too ignorant to know, or I am too much of an outsider to the elites, but concentrating on the integrity of elections and voter rights is a long term goal deserving of massive attention throughout, but, IMO, sooner or later these other goals must be addressed and failure to make it sooner will result in further damage control reactions and movements such as what we're engaged in at the moment in Ohio and nationwide with respect to election theft and the "no Constitutional right to vote exists" anti-voter movement.

I hope there are far smarter people than myself that are already devoted to solving problems with the other issues that are OUR only hope in defending ourselves from Corporate America.

If not, we may already be doomed.

If a economic partnerships started to appear tomorrow and demonstrate their devotion to our common political, economic, and social goals for Democracy, then I WOULD immediately start to embrace it and put my remaining money where my mouth is.
