"There were about 20 people running for president in both parties combined that were better than either of them." And what stopped them ? The controlled political parties and the controlled media. Jaroslav, from Poland, who was sort of the leader of "Radio Solidarity" back in the day told me, and proved later, they used to go with batteries, a transmitter he built, an antenna made out of a bunch of vacuum cleaner wand segments and break into the local TV station sound carrier and speak about the solidarity movement. He met Lek Walesa, but that didn't work out because Walesa wanted a message put out that was too long and they would have been caught. Why didn't they just buy airtime ? Wasn't for sale. Control of the media is crucial. In the US, you could conceivably sue them just like not baking a cake for a Gay marriage, but that hasn't happened. You see, the commoner has been outbid. It used to be that a local business could afford a TV commercial, I worked at a couple places that were local and did that. But it has gotten to the point where that syndicated money buys you out. Even at fur in the morning the rates are ridiculous. And now wiht digital TTV, an enterprise like Radio Solidarity simply wil not work. You can block their signal, jam it or whatever but you cannot superimpose your message on it. And now there is a trend toward that Syrius Radio or XM or whatever so now a transmitter on a major highway won't work anymore. See, I could design an FM transmitter that outputs several frequencies. The process it called hetrodyning and is used in receivers all the time. But it can also be used on transmitters. Highly illegal but so was Radio Solidarity. What's more he told me that they could not afford to lose rhe transmitter especially because parts were very expensive. Sure you could get another Walkman to play the tape, more batteries and even those vacuum cleaner rods, but that high power RF output transistor was not easy to come by. Here, I could place an order with Digikey and make hundreds of multiple station transmitters and put them all over the place. In Cleveland it might be the high level bridge, or somewhere on I-71 where all the traffic jams happen. With the right circuitry D cell batteries would work and provide enough time, and they would be disposable. The cops or the FCC would find them, examine them and wonder who figured out how to hetrodyne a transmitter, but unless the put boots on the ground it would take a long time to get caught. However, you are talking to people who cannot afford satellite radio. Think about that. So corporate media control is how we got here, how do we get out ? Somewhere on the net I said I would bring back the old regulations on banks, well I guess that would apply to the media as well. Nullify that court decision that they can lie, that would have to be done by legislation. And in the past, one entity could only own one TV station, AM station and FM station in any market. Now, a few people own it all. And Michael Powell, Colin Powell's son, who was somehow the most qualified to run the FCC made it even worse. There used to be a fairness doctrine, I wonder if he was even alive yet during that time. The election means nothing. The US either collapses sooner or it collapses later and it is hard to predict who brings it on faster. THE FACT THAT THESE ARE OUR CHOICES PROVES THAT THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. It is like the elections in Iraq, all the candidates were pretty much the same - approved by the US. And people might start seeing now that the candidates in the US are not approved by anyone elected at all. And a shitload of us are getting mighty sick of it. T^T
