Gil Scott-Heron famously said the Revolution Would Not Be Televised but he had not counted on the internet. The Revolution of course has been heavily Youtubed to begin with but now more than ever it has evolved into the magic of the Live Feed.
So it is increasingly concerning that a new crack down against citizen journalists seems to have begun to build steam in the WEST. So much for being the bastion of Free Speech!!! How is that spreading Democracy going for you? I guess I had not realised that when you spread it overseas it would mean it would actually leave from our shores all together on its journey out!! Some key moments in this concerning trend can be seen in the past few days. First in Chicago during the NATO summit there. Some Live Feed journalists covering the event had some pretty incredible experiences:
To the north of the border we have also noticed a serious attempt to prevent Live Feed journalism in the Revolution swept nation of Quebec:
One wonders how the "Western Alliance" will be able to chide "Totalitarian Regimes" with a straight face if this continues. Of course if they try and shut the media down all together I am tipping their are some spotty faced kids who shall remain "ANONYMOUS" who will run rings around these bastards in response!!
