A very complicated topic my friend! I did not want to comment here before having an array of dots connected but truth be told, the more I read the more difficult it becomes.

What I know is that it would not be productive to analyze this much-ballyhooed event isolated without considering the whole context (like corporate media approach does it).

There´s a video (Google)that you might have already seen entitled "The revolution will not be televised" that gives you certain hints... never enough though.

Good post my friend!
