Thousands of TEA Party Patriots Rallied at the political offices of US Federal Senators and Representatives Simultaneously this Friday, July 17, 2009. They rallied in support of Health Care Freedom of Choice. They oppose Obama's various iterations of Nationalized / Socialized Medicine.
While all of major media mostly ignored the protests, the internet buzzed and crackled as TEA Party folks from across country used the internet to exchange real time text messages, twit-pics, cell pics, and even blog radio broadcasts. The Two Major Political Parties appear to have allied with each other to "black out" coverage of the TEA Party Movement on all major media outlets. Major Media did not cover the event, even though it is believed that this is the first primarily internet coordinated, simultaneous, nationwide political protest in American, if not world history. Even Fox News seems to have fallen silent about the cause. Apparently American News Reporters are a bunch of Political Cuckolds who prefer to nurse at the bitter teat of Tyranny. And some people wonder why major media is going bankrupt.
It appears that the strategy of the 2 major political parties is to silence coverage of the events in the hopes that the movement will stall and fade away. While introducing Senate bills No. 773 and 778, Democratic Senator Jay Rockefeller, declared that "the Government would all be better off if the internet was never invented. If the internet was never invented, the corporate media & the Council on Foreign Relations would dominate news and information and alternative media restricted to print would have a far more difficult time counter balancing government propaganda. Government and the elite behind it are sincerely worried about the fact increasing numbers of people get their news from alternative media sources on the internet and corporate media newspapers are falling like dominoes."

And some people wonder why major media is going bankrupt.
In other words, by suppressing news of the TEA Party Movement's activities, the 2 major political parties hope that their "business as usual", "things are not that bad" PROPOGANDA lulls American Citizens into complacency once again.
This Reporter personally attended the Rally in front of the buidling that Houses one of Senator Amy Klobuchar's Home State Offices. This office is located on Washington Avenue in Minneapolis. Approximately 100 TEA Party Patriots Peacefully and Respectfully Protested Democrat efforts to pass Socialized Health Care. For an hour, from 11am to Noon Persons involved with the protest waved signs, spoke to passing pedestrians and motioned to get the attention of passing motorists. Many Motorist honked and waved in support, some stopping to shout support from their vehicle windows... A passing ambulance lit up its cherries and siren in support of the Protest. [Please see the Photo Slideshow for a glimpse at the makings of a peaceful and real grassroots revolution]
Those assembled shared Socialized Health Care horror stories, plotted future strategy and exchanged email addresses and phone numbers with each other and the coordinators. Blank pages of paper were circulated with which each person in attendance was asked to provide their name and phone number and a brief message to the Senator. Near the end of the Protest, this document was delivered to the offices of Senator Klobuchar. (Speculation circulated that Senator Klobuchar would immediately forward the list to the FBI and Homeland Security)
Because the major media did not cover the events, and because I have rushed this article to press, I must give an estimate that Hundreds, if not thousands,of protests like this occurred across the USA simultaneously.
In this,and in all of the TEA Party events to date, this reporter is unaware of any acts of violence. Nor is the reporter aware of any mobilization of any police nor military forces in anticipation of violence caused by the TEA Party Movement Patriots.
Yet, for political reasons, Obama has his Homeland Security Department leave the TEA Party movement on the potential terrorist list lumped in with skin heads, the Ron Paul Coalition, white Supremecists and returning war veterans.
Paraphrasing Anthoney Gregory of the Campaign for Liberty, referring to the actions of the FBI towards Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., Vietnam Protesters and other voices of dissent, "According to internal documents of the FBI's COINTELPRO its purpose was to misdirect, discredit, demonize and otherwise neutralize the activities and leaders of activist groups" [Ohio -CSNY] For those less seasoned Citizens [4 dead in Ohio] and this on MLK, Jr. [FBI COINTELPRO and Martin Luther King, Jr.]
America, does it occur to you that the treatment of the TEA Party Movement parallels the treatment of the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War Protests. I believe history has vindicated the Civil Rights and Vietnam Protesters, despite the Governments efforts to Demonize and Discredit them.
In light of this history and analysis that I have provided you, I ask you to contemplate the signifigance of the Government's heavy handed tactics of labeling the TEA Party Movement as terrorists and its suppression of the news of TEA Party Movement Activities in the major media.
The TEA Party movement has staged 3 main groups of political gatherings, protest and Rallies on or about April 15, July 4 and July 17th. Though no large show of force in the form of riot police or the national guard were called up in anticipation of violence, the FBI did insert spies into the various TEA Party Movement Gatherings. [ FBI spied on TEA Party Americans! ] According to an FBI source, "There have been very significant changes made over the last few years that redirect the focus and assets of the intelligence community internally. These changes have greatly accelerated under this administration, and the threats have been redefined to include those who used to be patriots."
It is a source of suspicion when survellance of the TEA Party Movement merits a large allocation of FBI resources, but that same groups activities do not merit a comparable allocation of assets by the US Major media to provide Americans coverage of that same event.
