The Umno media complex which is loyal and serves only Najib Tun Razak has already begun an overt war to circumvent Muhyiddin Yassin's bid for the top seat.

The underground polls is coming and this clash will not be between cultural groups.
It will be between the sad class – our own les miserables, Frantz Fanon’s Wretched of the Earth and the Malay-Chinese bourgeoisie.
The sad class is made up of the 11 million Malays who earn less than RM2,500 a month against the minted Malay CEOs such as Abdul Wahid Omar (former Maybank chief) who earned RM 7 million a year and the CIMB numero uno (Nazri Razak) who totals RM16-17 million a year.
The 11 million Malays are joined by the new entrants into a swelling army of the lumpenproletariat, consisting of graduates from universities and colleges who don’t earn a decent salary to afford houses that now cost RM700-800,000.
These ‘new entrants’ can’t afford a RM400,000 house, a home that is deemed “affordable” by the ruling bourgeoisie.
To support their ‘affordable’ truths is Umno’s media complex.
We are at war with the Umno media complex – the papers that it owns, the television channels, the radio talk shows and the lists goes on.
Umno controls every avenue of thought formation and has even convinced one part of the Malay thinking crowd into believing that the community is under siege from marauding Chinese.
Don’t be surprised that the strings on the Umno media complex are pulled by the shadowy denizens of the Umno war room.
Bid to circumvent Muhyiddin
The Umno media complex is loyal and serves only one master- the enfeebled Umno president.
It has already started a new phase by suggesting that many do not want a contest for the top posts in Umno.
The many are the silent majority whose speech can only be deciphered by people like Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Ahmad Maslan otherwise know by many as Najib’s minions.
That is an early attempt to circumvent Muhyidin from challenging Najib. Many people know that Najib has failed Umno in so many areas.
The nation is imperiled with Najib at the helm.
The Umno media complex knows that only the number one position matters.
Muhyidin is expendable and easily forgotten if he can be held captive to the number two post.
Maybe the Umno media complex’s generals underestimate the swollen-faced Muhyidin’s persona as a reflection of stupidity.
Carl von Clausewitz, a famed German-Prussian military theorist, once said that “war is the continuation of politics by other means.”
This conventional definition of war as defined by Clausewitz is now extended onto the electronic front. That is the new means.
Shameless enemy
We blog writers who support Pakatan are the internet army.
We are on the counter attack mode against the Umno media complex ready to storm every hill on the battlefield.
We will not yield an inch of ground to the ruthless, shameless enemy we are facing.
No sooner after talking piously about Malays, Islam and the King, the Umno feudal lords and the Umno noveu bourgeoisie will retire into their chambers; where they all enjoy musical soirees, engage in business tete a tete while the missus poco-pocos all night long.
They have all but forgotten about the downtrodden masses, the brick and mortar people who had faithfully supported them.
We have not forgotten them.
We have one weapon which our enemy cannot destroy- righteous indignation.
