Excellent ticker, I could not have said it better myself!

Yeah I hope our gov comes to their senses in time...I feel if they do not then violence is inevitable. I hope I'm wrong, but fear I am right.

Karl,
The second still picture that you posted in the ticker is of the Obamessia'h inauguration. Notice the leaf-less trees. Still, the 9/12 event in DC was a fantastic turnout.

Yes, we are ready for revolution.

I had NO IDEA the crowds were that big. Scanning CNN, Drudge, even FOX I never saw those frames. Thank you.

Karl, are you sure about that second photo? There aren't any leaves on those trees - which is odd for early Sept in DC

I bet money that there was less trash left to clean up than there was after the inauguration too.

BTW, where's the news about this? I had NO CLUE how many people were there until I read this ticker. I see that it's on drudge, but I don't usually check it.

Has it been in the MSM at all?

I have noticed a lot of disinformation or omission of info out there about 9/12. Someone (or a lot of someones) really does not want the truth to get out. No satellite pics of the event will ever see the light of day if tptb have their way.

For Boxes:

The Soap Box.
The Ballot Box.
The Jury Box.
The Ammo Box.

The Soap Box in Use.
The Ballot Box is Obviously Threatened.
The Jury Box is only now Stirring.

If the Protesters that went to DC and those that went to Other Locations are counted in aggregate; there were well over 2 Million People that utilized the Soap Box in ONE DAY in the United States.
There were Many Citizens that shared the Sentiment with these Protesters that did not Physically make Their presence known.

We are rapidly approaching a crucial Tipping Point in Public Opinion and Citizen Action in these United States...
Anyone dismissing these Public displays of Outrage is either a Fool or a Propagandist for the Oligarchy and Administration.

"Just eight short years ago a handful of madmen flew aircraft into buildings in the United States on purpose, killing over 3,000 Americans and threatening to destabilize our financial and political systems."

The 9/11 terrorists were not madmen. They were educated upper/middle class muslims following their islamic holy book. The bankers and financial men of today are not mad men. They are educated men following their pocketbooks and wallets. As long as they can continue to make lots of $$$, nothing will change.

I watch CNBC in the morning as much to hear Santelli as anything else. He was on a roll this morning:

Among other things he was asked if he had a bad weekend. He said “yes, the people in Washington do not reflect the attitudes of the people that put them there. But, that will change”.

Then, he was asked it he was in Washington this weekend. He said “I watch network news. I didn’t hear about it”

It looks like GE forgot to put the muzzle on this morning.

Funny, nothing on the news about this. And even if it does make the news, It will instantly be spun as only partisan wackos attending.

Somehow, this has to break out of partisanship if we ever want change. (not saying it is, just its easy for the media to portray it that way...as they have done successfully with the tea parties). Conservatives better realize quick that they will need liberals on this one and vice versa. Congress knows that if they continue to divide everyone, they will most likely keep their own seats, while being hated by others outside their district. Old game.

This will have no affect whatsoever until north of 20 million march on DC and it becomes impossible to hide the bi-partisan nature of it.

I doubt this will ever happen...

AxelSod, for one, is spouting the "belittle them on tv and they'll go away" SOP.

The ONLY place you'll get any idea of the actual size is non-USA news and the DC Metro police department. A quick internet search using correct terms quickly picks up this message: USA news reports thousands, non-USA news reports > 1 million.

The southeast regional organizer during an interview indicated that the main area gates got closed. This happens at about 1 million folks. Her field personnel then kept calling her asking why was the main area closed and what to do with the remainging zillion folks still arriving.
Source: Huntsville, Alabama 770 AM WVNN, talking head interview with the regional organizer.

That time-lapse video from the security camera makes clear that it wasn't "thousands." I know EXACTLY where that is in Washington DC.

The MSM reporting about 9/12 was a disgrace to the profession, with gross misrepresentations and disinformation in the extremely few reports that were made. What I found entertaining were the comments sections in the NYT and WaPo, where people who were actually at the protest corrected the "official" version with statements and photos of their own. The other interesting part was the hysterical reaction of Obama supporters, who once again resorted to playing the race card and outright race-baiting rather than address the issues. The panic at places like Democratic Underground was so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw. They keep nattering about the fear of racial divisions when they themselves are the ones creating them.

9/12, the ACORN scandal, and the sudden reluctance in Congress to discuss the "public option" in the health care bill mean that the administration is hurting badly. Obama might not like his poll numbers right now, but a few months from today he might look back on them as the good old days.

Keep up the good work, Gen.
