This one thing gives us the opportunity to:
#1 EXPOSE the corporate media to the American People

#2 EXPOSE the congressmen and congress women who will not take a stand against such a blatant attack on our civil liberties to the American People

#3 Give public support for the officials and organizations that support accountability, justice and freedom

#4 Demand statements of ACCOUNTABILITY from each member of the House WHY they voted along with 404 Democrats and Republicans to pass HR 1955 in the house. Did they read it? Do we need weak minded people in Congress who cannot read? What REALLY happened here?

#5 EXPOSE and PRESSURE the corporations and wealthy donors that supported the congressmen and congresswomen who SUPPORT S 1959 and who SUPPORTED HR 1955 - if necessary leveraging a full scale boycott of BOTH Labor AND product against those companies - shining the BIGGEST light on them we can collectively create

#6 EXPOSE the role of George Bush and his administration in this process as being the LEADER of the Unaccountability Movement and setting the environment up where this kind of blatant corruption could take place and be sanctioned by the government

#7 Make this the central issue in the presidential election by MEASURING the candidates against this one issue - and possibly their position on the SPP (http://www.judicialwatch.org/SPP2), which tells the American people if they pledge to support what the UN wants or what is good for the USA. If the presidential candidate picks up OUR accountability platform they get our votes. It's that simple - WE DRIVE the ISSUES from this point forward.

 

This approach across a multitude of organizations and citizens would enable us to prototype this same kind of approach to attack other issues such as the issue of Impeachment, Media Reform, withdrawing from NAFTA, Re-Investigating 911, Corporate Welfare/Power, Energy Policy, Government Reform, etc. (and probably in that order) - we must pick a weak point and attack that weak point (like with the Death Star in Star Wars) until it falls and then move to the next weakest point. We CANNOT be diluted in our efforts. We will Fail.

We CLEARLY need to work within the framework of what the public mind can accept which is WHY if we collectively FOCUS our efforts on S 1959 - which is in the public mind (just go to GovTrack.us and look up HR 1955 and you can send people there who know nothing about it), we can turn this situation from a defensive posture we are all collectively in into an offensive one like we did with further Media Consolidation.

How we do this is the question we need to be asking but we think this is the blueprint. We are quickly nearing a time where INFORMATION ITSELF is going to be criminalized and the Internet will be shut down because it has emboldened the people and allowed us to work together. Consider that EVERY great man or woman throughout history was KILLED because they sought to bring people together under a common cause. The Internet is no different.

The initial idea of the Advocacy Corporation type was to provide a conscience to the Capitalist system and the way to do that is to protect INFORMATION so people can freely make choices and the consequences of those choices would be transparent to the people. We want the same things you do in many cases but be do not believe in overriding free will and imposing our will on another. In essence, any idea is good; ANY idea at gunpoint is BAD.

 

The Capitalist system enables choice this but the effects it can produce in the negative can be pretty severe (Externalities). Our simplistic thought was that if people KNEW what was happening they would not support those companies with BOTH their LABOR/ENERGY and their PURCHASES and they would go out of business.

We did not count on the idea that the government DOES NOT WANT those companies to go out of businesses
(like the $20 billion we "borrowed" from China). The minute the government says "WE DON'T WANT THAT COMPANY TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS" is the minute we CEASE to be a truly Capitalist economy because government and business start acting in their own interests and NOT in the interests of the people - yet the people STILL blindly continue to support these companies with BOTH their LABOR and their MONEY. Most peoples minds are so polarized and destroyed they cannot see this.

So anyway, this was the idea. What we did not understand was that things have gotten so bad that the government is ready to LABEL you a TERRORIST if you THINK of something more equitable to ALL people and attempt to end the massive levels of corruption sweeping our great nation. So technically you could build the BEST mousetrap but it makes little difference because the people do not believe that they have ANY power and the government and big business is actively participating in this illusion and has NO DESIRE to pass laws to change that (i.e. passing the Advocacy Corporation type into law so you could create one yourself).

What we need to collectively do is determine how to have the greatest impact. We suspect that this will not involve what many people are advocating for. Protests and gathering in large numbers is probably a BAD idea because some people WANT to spark an incident so they can react.

I am the creator of the Advocacy Corporation featured on YouTube. The goal behind the Advocacy Corporation is to create a NEW KIND of corporation responsible for EXCLUSIVELY INFORMING the people.

The corporate media has PROVEN that they cannot uphold the duty of INFORMING the people as this presents a conflict of interest (more...)
