Madison, Wisconsin. ONE MORE DAY! 3/26/2011, Day 41
Today, I cannot easily find one honest and detailed news bit on any of these peaceful historical events. Media focused it's attention on youth groups who did property damage in central London, misleading and conflicting reports about the nuclear crisis in Japan and the war in Libya (however I don't believe they are calling it a war).
A few news outlets still hold onto the threads of truth, but after reading the slivered down journalism coming out of Wisconsin and the world, I really can only 100% rely on reports from the ground. Since I cannot be in London, Japan, Libya, Germany and Cali today; I sit at my desk frustrated and angered that my ongoing quest for truth is getting harder and harder. I am however thrilled to know the consciousness of the people in this world is gaining strength this weekend. Regardless of what the power mongers want us to see and fear, WE ARE RISING!
We will not be supported by our mainstream media, industry or corrupt governments. But we will continue to create massive grassroots networks of information and leadership for our future. There is nothing left in this world economy that leaves everyone behind. IN THIS DARKNESS WE WILL CONTINUE TO UNITE AND WE WILL PREVAIL.
