Note: Hi, I am Eli, I started this document. Add idea below after a bullet point, preferably with attribution. Add +[your name] (+Eli) if you like someone else’s note. Bold key phrases if you can. Feel free to crib with attribution.

A number of the ideas below have significant flaws. It’s not a simple problem to solve -- some of the things that would pull down false news would also pull down news in general. But we’re in brainstorm mode.

* November 17, 2016

This document is maintained by @Media_ReDesign, with updates from an extraordinary community of collaborators spanning across many disciplines. Some topics are under the supervision of specific teams, as is the case of news updates, and the Event Calendar (partly updated, linked as a reference, for ideas). All the same, please feel free to contribute with your ideas, as we expand and continue on this journey.

INVADING FORCES???? Have you seen ANY Photos of these families fleeing Certain Death because and Only Because they tried to defend their God given right to Freedom and Democracy? We Americans rightfully take a lot of Pride in this country for our Many Successes but it would Serve us ALL much better if it wasn't so Damn Near Impossible to Learn of our Occasional COLOSSAL Failures! Perfect Example would be how "WE" Helped overturn a Democratically Elected Leader in IRAQ and PUT Saddam Hussein in Power. It's a great example because pretty much everyone knows how we screwed the pooch on that one...The Role we have played in Creating a Humanitarian CRISIS in Honduras is easily as pervasive with the Only Real Difference being that the IRAQ MESS could pretty much be blamed on a specific few and all in in the Republican Party... In Honduras - our screw ups date as far back as 1911 and have only grown worse with each Major Shift in US Political Power! Reagan used Honduras as a "Staging Ground" for his illegal and ill fated Iran - Contra Fiasco and funneled US Weaponry into what is THE Original Textbook perfect "Banana Republic". As always, when Superior Power is given to societies too poorly structured to assure "Equal Protections" and Many of the other things "WE" take for granted..The Struggles to Possess and Control such Superior Power are Never Ending with Each Group who seizes Power Briefly PUNISHING all of those they "took" Power from! To be clear - I am by NO stretch of the imagination saying that Reagan is to blame for the Many Atrocities "we" have been responsible for in Honduras, or El Salvador, or Panama,or pretty much ALL of Central America! Meddling by our CIA and Profiteering on a Vulgar Scale by American Gas & Oil companies have progressively made matters worse and worse... Even President Obama and Sec of State Clinton made matters worse (and "matters' were already Horrific) by NOT denouncing the Military COUP in 2009 that overturned Honduras's last Freely Elected Leader and Permitted a Regime not all that different from Fidel Castro to seize total,violent, control despite MANY well publicized and well known (in that region at least) Massacres of Hondurans who tried to rally support for Democracy! WHY would ANY American Leader look the other way while people who believe in what "we" believe in and who only want to live in a society "Of the People, By The People and For the People".. Why would we NOT Try to Help these folks??? That's a damn good question! It is THE question that these thousands of REFUGEES are begging to have answered: America You Promised to Be a Shining Beacon on a Hill for ALL who love Freedom and Democracy to See". WHY have you Abandoned Us when We were “there” for you when needed us? We were only Doing EXACTLY what you Asked Us to Do? We have tried to Stand Up for Our Rights, The Rights YOUR Presidents (Kennedy, Reagan and Beyond) Told us We were Entitled To ONLY If We believed in these Rights enough to Fight For Them! We’ve been your Ally, We’ve done EXACTLY as You Asked us to.. Why Didn’t Come to Out Aid?? YOU sent Troops half way around the world to Kill People who didn't have a damn thing to do with 9-11 but that's beside the Point. We are "Americans" - OK Central Americans... But doesn't being in the Same Hemisphere AND sharing part of name, an
