How do you go about doing that? As you know there was a huge amount of 
activity of this sort in the 60s-80s US and it vanished; there's nothing - 
now - to take control of - those spaces are abject and fractal and not 
amenable to control from within or without - look at for example how Trump 
has penetrated, fragmented electorates, even Fox news itself -
