I suggest people support their very excellent and honestly "Live" production of the Nutcracker put on by Judy Russell and the PGSO December 21, 22, and 23 (5 shows).

In Seattle the American's have awoken in a big way to the corpocracy monopolization of local media.

They were given 5 days notice for the elimination of regulations limiting corporate media from owning both local newpapers and TV stations. This despite the fact local media on average makes 18% profits, which is already higher then the fortune 500 average and thus the need for synergies is a flase claim by the FCC.

Its really about control of information by those that finance the corpocracy of our political system.

The Americans in the know are up in arms about this and so should Canadians because the same thing is taking place in our country as well.

Canadians should be following this as it is the Rothschilds zionist take over of mainstream media through their financing arm of the banksters as shown recently with the Goldman Sacks financing of 90% of the growth at CanWest Global in their takeover of all aspects of Canadian media. They are taking our voice and the 5th estate from us with fake money printed through inflationary money creation in their banks and their soft money lobby control of the system.

IMO it has to not only be stopped, but should be revered to preserve our democratic traditions of a free society.
