How to get the foreign media involved

[helderheid]

"U.S. media won't report or do anything unless forced to do so because
either of embarrassment or not wanting to be the last one to cover a
story...hence...don't protest politicians...don't stand in front of
the local city hall...let the foreign press know that 10,000 people
will be in front of the local paper's publisher's house...tell BBC
news that 100,000 surounded the ABC offices...let every foreign
consul know that we don't accept a thief and a liar put into office
through fraud and deception...go to the United Nations and demand
that they send in troops to protect the rights of the people of this
nation against a corrupted out-of-control government...in other words
get very creative in forcing the issues...buy time to air the video
of voters being harrassed in Ohio by Bush's brownshirts...get a
billboard and put up the picture of the guy loading bags of ballots
into his truck with the Bush bumper sticker on the window...send out
our own tabloids with all of the stories of fraud which have been
hidden in the back pages or just found in the internet editions of
the press...stories like Rumsfeld's involvement in helping North
Korea get those two nuclear reactors...or the ties between the Bush
family and the bin Laden family...posters of Rumsfeld shaking hands
with Saddam...Breszinski (sp) holding an AK47 next to Osama bin
Laden...take the revolution to a higher level...go window shopping
for guns and tell the gun shop owners or the swap meet venders of
weapons that you intend to protect yourself from further infringement
on your Constitutional and civil rights by this dictatorship...can
you image the word getting out that millions across the nation are
seeking weapons...(don't even have to buy one...just the thought
would put the fear of their God in them)...if Walmart chooses to buy
from non-domestic sources...let the Union members know that...if an
automaker such as Ford produces its trucks in Mexico...folks at the
local dealership should be made aware of it...show them your
signs...and on another front...become a precinct committee
person...get involved in the local, county, district or state party
structure...in ALL political parties...know what the other side is
doing, planning and how they think...impact their policies and
platforms at the grassroots level...set up Progressive Clubs or
organizations and have membership from all political parties join
up...become a force to reckon with on the issues...if your public
officials don't response to the will of the people...take them on at
the ballot box...just give the voters a choice...several candidates
this year merely got on the ballot and did no campaigning other than
phone calls or door to door with the voters directly...by pass the
media...the party establishment...and ignore all conventional ways of
thinking about how to affect change within an organized body...color
outside of the lines...so many positions and posts within the various
parties go unfilled that within a very short period of time...we
could be the majority vote in EVERY party...we could set policy...we
could chart the direction of the platforms...we could push for
state's rights over Federal mandates...we could take aim at the
corporations, media and governmental institutions which do not show
any concern for the average person...

Now go forth and change things,

Mike Price"

1. only problem they already are

a MAJOR Mexico City Paper had a story on how the election was stolen.

Now I know irony is not dead yet, but a MEXICO CITY PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry I grew up when the PRI did this on a regular basis... so this is more than just ironic

2. Start subscribing to The Guardian as well

like you said get the foreign media involved. It would be good to start seeing the foreign newsstands on the streets here and show the us media how to put out a real newspaper with real reporting and no fear of someone might be offended.

7. I've been e-mailing the Guardian and Independent

Every other day or so I've sent them an e-mail updating them on what's going on. Nothing happening yet. I noticed that Le Monde, Pravda (in an article bluntly entitled "Did Bush Fix the U.S. Elections) and the Moscow Times have run articles, though. It's my guess that the Russians especially are much, much less naive about these things.

3. This was a suggestion from the Randi Rhodes forum

"This independent organization below were the observers that came from overseas to observe our elections. They left reporting that everything had turned out OK without realizing what the problems were. I am about to send them some of the articles I have gathered to the contrary. They may be able to help us spread the word overseas that there are growing incriminating evidence against the results...

IF you want to contact them, I'm sure they speak English.

I have personally suggested to 2 Dutch investigative news shows to air Votergate and to check out BBV - I have also contacted a guy in France and asked him to contact the French press. I have also contacted a Canadian investigative news show about it as well.

Let's get the world's attention - our media can't remain on lockdown if this gets big enough!

4. Another thought

You can buy international press lists for about $600 - we could collectively go in on them and send a press release to them about mass demonstrations in LA and NY against ABC, CBS, NBS, etc - have huge amounts of people there holding signs saying "http://blackboxvoting.org" and "http://votergate.tv" and "Bush won? PROVE IT." "AUDIT" etc...
