There has been a revolution going on in the US for the last three weeks but it has not rated a mention in the mainstream media.
If you were not online and following events around the World you would not have known about it.
It is happening in Madison Wisconsin, where the new Governor has taken draconian steps to not just limit the power of the unions but to destroy them.
It has been over shadowed by the events in the Middle East but is as awe-inspiring as the Arab revolt.
The media octopus that spreads around the World is being very successful in suppressing news of this revolution and will do anything it can to stop it getting out.
It could mean that the worm is finally turning and the bulk of the population in the US has decided that enough is enough; no more will it let the handful of elite, plunder the wealth of America and reduce their lives to serfdom.
After all the obvious just plain theft that Wall Street and the Banks have so far got away with, they have maybe decided to put people power into action for them and not just watch it happening in foreign lands.
Michael More has just visited the protesters and made a speech, which is quite frightening if you follow it carefully.
Today just 400 Americans have the same wealth as half of all Americans combined. 400 obscenely rich people, most of whom benefited in some way from the multi-trillion dollar taxpayer “bailout” of 2008, now have as much loot, stock and property as the assets of 155 million Americans combined.

In this stand against the robber barons that would take complete control,this handful of people could win if they get the support they need.

Sarian I totally agree.We need a world wide people revolution.The theft has been incredible and is still happening while our prostitute pollies continue to protect the very scumbags who perpetrated the scam. http://secretofoz.com/

Nonsense, Sarnian. Its openly discussed on Bloomberg, nobody
is hiding anything. A number of commentators have discussed
it, interviews, the works. But Bloomberg is the sort of
place where these things are discussed.

No doubt its also discussed on the PBS Newshour, which
is on SBS every day, for an hour.

But no, don't expect it on 7 or 9. They have Home and
Away and My Kitchen Rules etc. Quite simple, these things
rate with Australian punters, not US domestic politics.

Yabby, I meant on the mainstream Australian Media such as ABC or SBS News.
I have not seen it there. I cannot comment on the Australian Newspapers because I refuse to buy them and support Murdoch and Packer et al.
If there was a protest like this going on in France or even UK it would be splashed all over the News Services with great glee.
Sorry but I believe it is being deliberately covered up because it is happening in the US

Ummm... Madison, Wisconsin?

A city with a population somewhere between that of Hobart and Geelong?

Would you expect a street demonstration in downtown Geelong about a local union dispute to rate a mention anywhere except the Advertiser?

Even in the US, Fox News' O'Reilly Factor had to resort to exaggeration in order to get anyone's attention. They used footage of a demo in Sacramento California, pretending it was from Madison... it was the lack of snow on the ground, and the proliferation of palm trees in the background that gave them away. Duh.

But the question remains, I guess, why you believe that our news broadcasters should consider this local spat as important? How many of their audience actually understand the workings of US State politics?

And how many of them actually would even care about this highly localized issue?
