#whilewewatch, a Media Movement Blossoms

#whilewewatch, a Media Movement Blossoms
Thu, 4/26/2012

As soon as Occupy Wall Street set its tents down in Zuccotti Park, an independent media movement sprung up to cover it, asking the questions and telling the stories the corporate media wouldn't dare. #whilewewatch is filmmaker Kevin Breslin's attempt this nascent culture of tech-savvy livestreamers, bloggers and tweeters as they document the swiftly-changing world around them.

"#whilewewatch is the story of how many people came together in the sun and rain, day and night, broke and loaded with energy and hope to get their story out to the world," Breslin said about his film, which premiered in January at The Paley Center for Media. "#OWS has galvanized the world. They don't back down from the police, big business or a city government that tried to dismiss them. When regular media paid no attention to this movement they decided to tell the world their story."

This evening at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT, Occupy.com will host a screening of the full film on Occupy.com homepage.

Filmmaker: Kevin Breslin

Agriculture, the service economy, sexual exploitation, manufacturing, construction and domestic work drive today's enslavement around the world.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
