Here is a clue Operation American Spring it is not a revolution when you lie #OAS #OperationAmericanSpring

The Operation American Spring Proof of Crowd Picture – False

I don’t normally get political on my website, this is after all a place of entertainment, nerd talk and for me to showcase my works-in-progress, and general life stuff. But… When something really annoys me I find it hard to stay silent… And Operation American Spring (OAS) has done just that they have lied.

The Lie

OAS intention was to march 10 million people into DC, force the Government to succeed and then appoint People of Principle Tribunals to advocate their type of Government. The picture above was posted on Twitter and a lot of newsgroups as proof of the crowds attending OAS, and that they were being blacked out by the Media (including shock horror – Fox News).

Problem is, the picture above is from the 1968 Dr Martin Luthor King Poor People Campaign, I guess they felt using a 46 year old picture would mean no one would check and they would get validation as a movement.

The Truth

Instead that lie got uncovered within five minutes of internet searching, it didn’t stop them from posting pictures from other gatherings all of which were dated between two to five years ago.

The truth is OAS brought crowds numbering into the dozens, the truth is they are not about freedom, but about control and power. The truth is… They lied.
