ur network of IMCs, and bless them, for they are all unpaid volunteers serving the people, and trying to get the truth out - at a time when, we now know, the truth is not an issue for the Major Media. For instance, did you hear that in Chicago there were demonstrations for a solid week after the Nov. 2 Election..........NO.

What follows is an incomplete compilation of stories on citizen unrest from around the country. Most of them have fallen off the Main News Column, but can still be accessed. New York City, for instance, has post-election stories that go back 30 pages.

Most were non-violent protests, one in particular - Boise Idaho - had a rally where everyone dressed in their best clothing and carried signs reading "Leave no billionare behind".

Check each cities' IMC to read the full story.
