Keith Olbermann on the Military Tribunals Act (a must)

[brtanner]

I recommend that anyone with a wideband connection to the net view this video on MSNBC, and send the link around to friends. Olbermann is putting himself at some significant risk with this, IMO, and deservesn all the attention he can get. Things are getting precipitously weird...

:/ Just a thought.
Wouldn't the same chaos the STS want as 'food' have the potential to 'wake up' the masses and do the opposite?
So the script to chaos would need to take down the puppets as collateral damage for 'the greater good' of the STS pyramid.
Thusly, the leaks and allowance for the mainstream media to start actually reporting SOME of the real events around them.
As long as they stay within proscribed boundaries of course. I've seen this going on recently on many sites/tv channels.
Even the recent Congressional questioning could be seen from this pov to take down the White House.
All to further the STS desire to create as much chaos as possible.
Maybe impeachment proceedings as Dennis Krucinich wants would be the next move?

Gotta think Machiavellian don't we? Sly as the fox? ;)

Not bad what Keith Olbermann said in this video... Indeed such words might have the potential to "wake up the masses" but they can also give the false impression that "something" is building up against this sorry plight we suffer. Because the average person might think that since someone can speak these words on television people will "hear", "wake up" and "do something", right? Or that the "game" is still not lost, yeah? Hmm... Is that so, or people's worries that the danger is HERE and PRESENT are just getting "cooled down" thus postponing any painfull and true action for just another time, for sniffing another dose of "ordinary days"? I have become VERY skeptical with any words, so excuse my doubts here...

IMO, we ought to remember that it is words that are awfully cheap and Doing that is "expensive". And maybe our times call for greater moral "generosity" -actions!- than just pointing the bad guys with our index finger. So, nice said by Olbermann on the one side, but we really ought to expect more from public figures (and most of all from ourselves!) than merely admitting what has now become more or less obvious! Freedom is under siege! What each of us will DO to counterweight this situation is now the next most important question. We are what we practice and not what we preach.

Just some thoughts....
