I don't think they can do that anymore...the internet leaks like a sieve, and Wikileaks is there, everywhere, as well as other muckraking, subversive, whistle-blowing people and groups.

The LBJ-Nixon-Reagan-Bush Era is over, never to return (I pray). We learned something from 9/11...just not the lesson we were "supposed" to learn.

Now we have to clean house, bury the DINOS back in the Stone Age, rebuild the Party and the Nation. A Truth and Reconciliation process would be good. This whole Police Brutality/ Institutional Racism/ Confederate Flag fiasco is the start of that.

It may not get an official name (and it certainly isn't getting official attention or money) but as long as the process advances, so will we.
