This could be extremely important, what do you think?

I know that cross-posting is perhaps not good netiquette, but there's been no reponse to a couple of mentions of this I put in the media threads recently. For the last ten years I have been thinking about the state of the world and how to fix it. I researched and wrote a book, then condensed and modified it into an essay, then summarised that etc. (summarized, US sp.)
Finally, further influenced and informed by you guys on this excellent forum (I'm so pleased I found it!), and by Ry's great book

, I have come up with this idea as the first step in a strategic campaign to bring down the neocons and their allies:

(Try reloading if it doesn't work at first.)
It's simple, it's fun and I dare to hope that it might work. I've had an enthusiastic response from a couple of people. A UK-based _journalist_ told me that he knew about Fox News' propaganda but had no idea about Murdoch's tax-dodging!
In a way this is depressing, but it's also good news, because it means that the status quo (i.e. the present situation with the neocons in power) could be changed if people are amazed and shocked when they do learn the truth about what these guys are doing! This campaign is a way of reaching the masses.
Feel free to modify the idea, but I advise against adding too much disturbing information as, true as it may be, if people are confronted with too much new and shocking stuff at once they may be inclined to reject it. What is old familiar news to us is very difficult for some to take on, so we must go gently at first and get them thinking for themselves with just enough information to open their eyes. We are fighting for the wellbeing of humanity and also the planet but I think it's a mistake to rush in without thinking carefully about strategy and the psychology of how people change their minds.
After Murdoch, I suggest ExxonMobil, then possibly Walmart (which also owns the massive UK supermarket chain, Asda).
Expose the crooks!
