See uncensored video from the riots @ the RNC in St. Paul/Minneapolis blacked out by the mainstream media, agit-prop from the protests on Wall Street, footage by The Yes Men, and much more.
Earlier this month the mainstream media took the bait from the Republicans, and people were duped into believing that the RNC was delayed because of Hurricaine Gustav. Uh huh.. yeah right..
The real reason for the delay in convention commencement is that police riots broke out all over Minneapolis / St. Paul. (www.theuptake.org) Tens of thousands of people came to the twin cities for a week of protests against the war in Iraq, and the policies of the republicans. The police caused riots infringed on the civil liberties of the protestors, but also hundreds of bystanders were caught in the mass arrests including dozens of mainstream and indie journalists. The national media stood by complicitly by covering the snooze fest inside the convention walls while ignoring what was happening in the streets. People were arrested without cause, detained without charges, and in some cases tortured in jail. Running battles in the streets were commonplace, with the clouds of teargas and hail of rubber bullets almost impossible to ignore. Now that all the ballyhoo is settling down, the pieces of the story are all coming clearly into view. Get a peek of some footage collected by independent videographers at the special LOST FILM FEST event at the Gershwin Hotel on September 30th to see what the mainstream corporate media isn't telling you.
Additionally people are furious with the idea of Wall Street getting a free ride with this bailout. Naomi Klein says the public should be wary of the Bush administration trying to use the crisis to push through more of the radical pro-corporate policies that helped cause it in the first place. take a peek: http://www.democracynow.org/2008/9/24/naomi_klein_now_is_the_time
