It's not just for breakfast any more.

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental
opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a
distinguished period and pursued unalterably through every
change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic
plan of reducing [a people] to slavery."

~~ Thomas Jefferson

"Power kills, absolute power kills absolutely. The more power a government has, the more it can arbitrarily make war on others and murder foreign and domestic subjects. The more that government is constrained and diffused, the less tendency there is for them to commit genocide."
~~ Art Crino

When they put you in the internment camp, if you're really, really good, they might let you watch Dancing With The Stars.

Communication has been lost with the boats & Ive read on twitter that israeli occupation forces have boarded the boats in international waters (again)

Theres reports that all the activists among them journalists have been detained /arrested.

The blockade is bullshit and I'm against it but this is like the 11th flotilla that's been stopped. They aren't getting through with cheap boats full of activists. The only way through is if they had a naval escort, which would mean a showdown on the high seas.
It's a wonder that they haven't sent a naval escort by now, especially since Turkey seemed to have been saying that they would. I guess that was all just hot air. However, it can only function as a distraction if the corporate media diverted a disproportional amount of its attention to it, yet they don't seem to be mentioning it much at all.
