Good to note the ongoing electoral theft. In Mexico people have fought back but now it's getting ugly.
by Jaded Prole (partisanpoet@excite.com) on Mon Oct 30th, 2006 at 07:47:55 AM EST
Thanks for this link. I was searching for news of what was happening in Mexico and had come up empty. I knew that government forces were assaulting the protesters, but didn't know that people had been killed, incuding Indymedia reporter Brad Will.

The lack of coverage of this is depressing. It foreshadows what could happen here if fears of election theft on the 7th come true and anyone decides to resist the outcome. It should be a front page diary.

I did a search for Brad Will and found few if any Mainstream media had even mentioned his death.

Perhaps what we need is some upper-middle to middle-class, ticked-off royally, taxpaying American citizens to hit the streets with American poor people, People Power wise.

I'll bet you every state with Diebold is going to find themselves with this lying shyt.  And if it even appears that this election is being took, folks are going to get more than mad.

(Worst case scenario...Bush declares martial law, giving him an excuse to publicly assume dictatorial powers because of demonstrations...)

That we are even discussing such matters as realistic options for Bush is beyond frightening. But then a man willing to use nukes in a pre-emptive attack probably doesn't have many qualms about using the National Guard to put down civil unrest.
