Arsenal For The Common Man

His only office is the park: "Li is one of just a handful of Internet investigative reporters, exposing corrupt officials and injustice on his China Public Opinion Surveillance Net (www.yuluncn.com).

Then he spreads his often outrageous, sometimes gruesome stories on some of the 49 blogs he uses to slip past censors.
'They shut down one, so I move to another,' he told Reuters.

'It's what Chairman Mao called sparrow tactics. You stay small and independent, you move around a lot, and you choose when to strike and when to run.'"

Now there are even more tactics available, such as "swarm and/or flock" operations. The accumulating "arsenal for the common man" will be the powerful counter-force of the future.
