(Watch the Media LapDog jump after asking 'How high?" We're not faced with the Bolsheviks using the battering ram outside the doors of the Duma trying to gain entry, the Bolsheviks are already inside with their hands on the controls of power. Will we be able to simply vote them out at this point?)
"There were a few things that jumped out to me immediately when I watched this video originally aside from the obvious fact that no one applauded until instructed to.
My first thought was, perhaps this is simply how its done. After all, they were playing Hail to the Chief, which, for all I know, informs them to stand at attention. But then I noticed that people seemed to be moving about, and a few were even holding up camera phones and filming the event. It made me wonder if the audience was even comprised entirely of military, which would of course raise further questions as to why there were no unprompted cheers.
I have to imagine the silence was deafening. Perhaps no one wanted to be the first one to applaud a man who seems intent on cutting the funding that many in attendance probably fashion their lives around. Perhaps they saw the people on stage not applauding and assumed that they werent supposed to either. Who knows? Maybe this same guy got on stage moments ahead of the cameras rolling and instructed the audience to stay quiet until he informed them otherwise.
Ill leave those questions for people in the military or those in attendance at this speech.
Why this stuck with me since I first saw it was that Id heard nothing of this moment in the national media even though this speech had taken place a month ago"
