Another BRAD BLOGGER in the news! (Add him to the list.)
Yes, in a front page story now up at RAW STORY, our own Winter Patriot — Official BRAD BLOG Concierge, frequent Guest Blogger, and all around good guy — gets some ink of his own for his smart Whispering Campaign website.
Devastatingly simple, the brilliant campaign offers readers single-page, large font versions of important, under-reported stories which can be easily printed out and distributed about town where they may be seen by folks who might not otherwise patronize those websites and blogs which are reporting the real news seen as unfit for our failed modern Mainstream Corporate Media.
The RAW headline terms Winter a “Modern-day samizdat bring[ing] news to public places.” We admit we had to look up the term “samizdat” to find out that it’s defined as follows:
: a system in the U.S.S.R. and countries within its orbit by which government-suppressed literature was clandestinely printed and distributed;
Given the remarkably Kremlin-like state of our current White House, coupled naturally with an intimidated and repressed American Press Pool that has failed for four-plus years now to report on the unprecedented dangers wrought by this damagingly un-American Administration, a “modern-day samizdat” sounds like a good description to us!
For being the media…cuz someone’s got to…we say: Waytago, WP! Keep up the good work! America — and The BRAD BLOG — thanks you! For all that you do, this blog’s for you!
Great article on a great idea. Congratulations WP!
Way to go WP! Keep up the very good work!
*bfg* Hey Winter Patriot! Don’t forget the "6 or 7" of us when you get rich and famous!
Glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve!
WP!!!!!
I checked out the "new" site (changed, since first inception) and found news that was news to me. I am posting it, because maybe other BBers have not seen it either.
Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running an exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.
Great concept, great new source of news!

Fantastic, WP!!!
Completely off-topic, and only for PegC, #5. There is a great local memorial for Iraqi dead in BH, across from the Am. Legion Post. Seems that this kind of effort deserves wider publicity. More subtle than the Freeway Blogger. MainePoint Blogspot? I have some pix. If you want to email about this, write email to Brad and tell him to give you my address, ref. this comment. He’s more than probably overwhelmed with email, but maybe he would be willing to be the go-between.

Finally getting some well-deserved recognition for one of the many things you do to get the message out and speak truth to power. A great idea from a great guy! Your are a patriot for ALL seasons.
Thanks for all the kind words, friends. But please remember that I’m not doing this alone. I’m just the spokesman. I have a lot of help behind the scenes, and I am grateful for all of it!
OK? Good! Now let’s print some articles! Make lots of copies and pass them around! And then come back for more!
We’re being the media! See how easy it is?
Winter Patriot – Hopefully I’ve recruited a few others and made them aware of the website – I started using it as my sig block on my posts on the political forum at my old stomping grounds:
A Friend and Fellow Patriot Makes Front Page @ Rawstory News
(BTW, if you go there and do a search on "members list" and go to my name, you can read more of my posts to see if there’s something you can use on the "Whisper Campaign" site – but I’m pretty sure most of what I posted there, I either posted or got from here.)
I went to one of the Downing Street house parties tonight & I brought with me a box of info from the Whispering Campaign. I had made copies at Kinko’s.
People there knew of course about the DSM & about Traitorgate, but had never heard of the Whispering Campaign or the Bradblog or Winter Patriot so I did a fair amount of proselytizing!
I gave some copies to the people at Kinko’s too.
One little drop-in-the-bucket at a time……….. 😉
Great idea, WP. I don’t have a printer now, but I think this a great way to preach to the non-choir.
You are an inspiration.
Excellent! You are worthy of this recognition, and much more. Easy? I don’t think so! Good job WP.
