Thanks for this Thread Number 6.
Like yourself I heard nothing about this until after the event.

I will also ignore any Bushites popping in with any attempt at sarcasm because I truly believe that anyone who still supports this Administration and it's policies has lost ALL credibility in my eyes. As has the Administration they blindly follow.

I believe that attention was deflected, here in the US anyway, from this call for Protests by 'Operation Swarmer' (I have already made my feelings regarding that fiasco elsewhere on another thread)

The supposedly 'Liberal Media' gave little if any attention at all to the fact that there was to be Global Peace protests, choosing instead to report on the re-run of 'Shock and Awe'. This is a Country at War. The Media is being used to promote Propaganda, not anti-War Protests.
I am at a loss as to what to do other than take personal responsibility regarding my feelings about this War and this President and his corrupt Administration, regardless of the fact that my Vote didn't not put them in Power. This has gone beyond Republican and Democratic demographics.
This present Government has become, in my opinion, a serious threat to Global Unity and Security.
Their poll numbers will continue to drop and as they do Republican Senators and Republicans in the House will continue to put as much distance as they can between their Party and this President and his twisted Administration before the elections in the Fall because not all Republicans are extreme right wing Neo Conservatives. That is why I am concentrating my energy on the two Republican Senators and the one Democratic House Representative in my State and will truly keep the pressure on them. My own personal protest if you like.

Taken from an Essay on Geopolitics. The Conscience of a Nation by P. Jenkins:

"The world-view of dissidents (protestors), who often simply give voice to commonsense, does not fit into the conventional world-view and is therefore highly threatening. Perceived threats posed by dissidents (protestors) are often over emphasized or painted in horrendous proportions in order to distort the true message dissidents (protestors) are seeking to convey. Any punitive threats by the system against dissidents(protestors) are either overlooked or supported by the media, as if order and sanity were being protected and restored. This dominance game can continue even when many of its players know it is obsolete or misplaced"

May Peace Prevail.
