11. I don't believe Act Three
will ever occur under media initiative like it did in Watergate. In essence the focus of a few major news channels was so total it created its own legs and impetus. The media in its present state is less likely to generate heat on its own and in fact I expect it to keep clamping down on dissent from mere habit if nothing else.

Act Two has to be very very big and CAN be more than you even state. The disclosures themselves can be greater than the Nixon tapes and the event itself, not sudden media turning, will drive the nation.

Judging by how they bow to the horror of the second Bush coming and the silence over the possibilities laid plainly before them, I don't expect ANYTHING from the cable or regular networks at all. As organizations that is.

It will actually unfold in spite of the media and WH 100%. And I would like to see the whole house of cards come down, not a small win of one hand of cheater's poker. THAT is possible too and is why someone should seriously start thinking of breaking lapdog ranks.
