Thanks for this well documented article. I've reblogged your post. I've even posted it on an unused facebook account. Something I don't do so often, because I don't use that damn thing - in a hope some distant friends might take a look with an open mind - provided it makes it through the algorithms and filters.
If we're to get out of this mess, we're to fight and fight together and... also do it now.
To make your article even better you could provide links to all of your content in their original forms (you have provided some links).
Cheers,
Monty
