Virtual media blackout on this man
Hi teachers,
The Hutaree militiamen speculate that the Antichrist is Javier Solana, a former NATO secretary-general and senior official of the European Union. The evidence? "There is a virtual media blackout on this man," writes John Reynolds, author of a screed on Solana and the Antichrist on the Hutaree Web site. "I see Jacques Chirac and Silvio Burlusconi [sic], Tony Blair, and Prince Charles on teh TV all the time, yet not a word one regarding Solana.
1. What does "The evidence?" mean?
2. Does "blackout" here mean the media does not cover Javier Solana story anymore for fear of his safety?
3. Does the text say writer John Reynolds writes the Antichrist on the Hutaree Web site, or he is the Antichrist? I am a bit confused.
4. Why is that [ .. ] after Silvio Burlusconi? What does that mean [sic]? Kill?
Thanks
