So the "swine" flu hysteria perpetrated by our traitorous media
effectively "killed" any massive outcry for justice for the torturing bastards that ruined this country.

Why does it feel like we are manipulated and powerless?

*SIGH*

5. What if our untrustworthy, traitorous media is covering up thousands of swine flu deaths?
Hey, even you can't trust them. Conspiracy theories abound.

6. In the end it is not up to us, so the news cycle means jack
It is up to those we elected to focus on this no matter what is in the media.

We are powerless not because of the media, but because we as a people are not willing to do what it takes to bring people of power to justice.

We are afraid of losing elections, so we keep our powder dry.

Swine flu should not matter jack when it comes to other issues.

If it does, it is not the people who are the problem and the media, it is those we elected.

ALso just saying that the pandemic is a real story too...

11. Our Gov't. was a willing
participant in the hysteria. Our Gov't. doesn't want the torture debate to continue.
