Increased public interest

There's a hopeful sign that people are becoming more keenly interested in finding out what is really going on, by the increasing popularity of blogs. For those whose hunger is not slaked by the sugary fluff of TV "news", the internet offers what they need. Luckily, we are still able to freely dispense information (at least most of us are - there have been notable exceptions where the feds have raided leftist organizations and individuals and confiscated their computers). The race could be now between the administration's attempts to cut off independent information to the citizenry and the self-enlightenment of the people.

The past few days since the election have, by my traffic data, seen a huge increase in the public interest in news. I'm not certain why it should be that YWA has seen an overnight doubling in the amount of traffic coming here, but that's what my site meter tells me. Some of it appears to be coming off my Falluja posts webpage, which makes sense as people are undoubtedly searching the web for reports on "Operation Dawn", or "Happy Day", or whatever they're calling it.

My news and civics website traffic has quadrupled in the last couple of days! Much of that traffic was generated by this Larry Chin article (The stolen election of 2004: welcome back to hell) that has been reprinted in numerous places - an Al Martin column titled The Case for Sedition: High Crimes of the Bush Cabal which, a couple years ago, was free from Al Martin's site.

What this will mean in results I can't say, but people are obviously wanting to know the truth about the election and our invasion of Iraq, specifically this latest offense.

As they used to say in the bad old hippy days: Keep the faith, baby.
