TELEVISION, A WEAPON OF WAR, AIMED AT YOU!
Tuesday, February 19, 2008 By Your-Rights.com #1 -WATCH- How the Media is Hiding the REAL War in Iraq If you view television in America, you will see MOST ANYTHING except WHAT IS GOING ON IN IRAQ! On television, most of the time, you see only WHAT THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA WANTS YOU TO SEE! NOTE: This article has been updated with new links! Please watch all nine segments of this short video compilation that shows how the main stream media sanitizes and filters what we know. It's doesn't last very long, please take the time to watch. If you aren't sure about what is going on... read about social engineering and PSYOPS, then sit down and do some serious thinking. It's time that you learned the TRUTH! If you took time to watch these video's, you have seen some prime examples of how the media has glamorized the war and sanitized and censored what you know. As the video's have shown, even if they run a correction later, the damage has already been done. The myth perpetuates. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT FEARS THE PEOPLE you have democracy, when the people fear the Government you have tyranny.  The government and the main stream media carefully select what you may see on your television. They are very careful to limit or censor anything that may cause a PUBLIC REACTION.They attempt to limit Freedom of Speech indirectly, by limiting where people can exercise free speech. Just remember, these same ''objective'' and ''unbiased'' media networks tell us what they want us to know about ''their'' presidential candidates. Any other candidates, such as Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul, are minimalized or IGNORED ENTIRELY, whenever and wherever possible. DO YOU KNOW... How many people are running for the Presidency of the United States of America? You might be surprised at THE ANSWER. How is it that you probably have never heard of these other candidates? Is it really a fair election if any one of these other candidates would be much better than the candidates the main stream media supports? Is it still A SECRET HOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA HELPED WITH PRIOR VOTE FRAUD? It is up to you... all of us, to make sure that elections are fair and that our votes are counted accurately. We must devise a publicly funded system where every person who desires to run for president has just as much a chance at becoming president as any other candidate. We need PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS! Is it fair that only the most wealthy of candidates get national exposure and those who are not wealthy remain unknown?

HELP Defend Free Speech Rights on the National Mall
From Partnership for Civil Justice - Thursday, January 31, 2008 Statement in Defense of Free Speech Rights on the National Mall Sign the Statement We the undersigned are supporting the emergency mobilization of the people demanding that there be no new restrictions on free speech or protest related activities on the National Mall in Washington D.C. This is the real objective of the Bush Administration's plans for the National Mall. Unless we take action, the Bush Administration, as one of its final acts, will leave office having dramatically altered access of the people to public lands that have been the site of the most significant mass assembly protests in U.S. history. The National Mall has been the historic site for the people of the United States to come together to seek equality, justice, and peace. These activities are the lifeblood of a democracy. The National Mall is not an ornamental lawn. The National Mall performs its most sacrosanct and valued function when it serves as the place of assembly for political protest, dissent and free speech. We oppose any efforts to further restrict protest on the Mall, to relegate protest to a government-designated protest pit or zone, to stage-manage or channel free speech activity to suit the government, or to stifle or abridge our rights to expression upon the public forum that is the National Mall. We call for a moratorium on further actions by the National Park Service that would in any way channel, restrict or inhibit the people's use of the National Mall in furtherance of our First Amendment rights.

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -- Goethe (1749-1832) It was very odd to celebrate Independence Day without Habeas corpus! "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison (1751-1836) Let's also not forget what our wonderful President once said: "There ought to be limits to freedom."

They feel that OUR GOVERNMENT IS CHANGING from a Democracy into a Totalitarian and Militaristic state which uses a hateful brand of Theocracy as a means of social engineering and social control to manipulate the citizens. When Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers of the United States created the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution they included language or terms which stated that the United States would be ruled by consent of the governed and that there would be separation of church and state.

SUPER IMPORTANT: Tell the FCC to Save the Internet from Dictatorship! - Monday, July 16, is the LAST DAY to tell the FCC your story!
From savetheinternet.com - Thursday, July 12, 2007 We have until July 16th to defend a free and open Internet at the FCC. The agency needs to hear from you about Net Neutrality -- the principle that stops AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from controlling where you can go online. If you value the Internet, PLEASE don't procrastinate! See more info about this issue at the end of this article. Thousands of people have already told their stories (see below) urging the FCC to protect Net Neutrality. Now it's your turn: Tell the FCC to Save the Internet You need to act now before the FCC closes its comment period. If we flood them with comments in support of Net Neutrality, the FCC will be pressed to stand up to the giant phone and cable companies that seek to undermine free choice on the Web. At SavetheInternet.com, you can read stories from others, view photographs, and join the fight to make the Internet affordable, open and accessible to everyone. You can even create your own personal comment page to share with others. Go there now to see our new video: Watch Our New Video and Save the Internet This may be the best chance we have this year to demonstrate to Washington that protecting the free and open Internet is an issue that matters to millions of Americans. The FCC needs to know why Net Neutrality is important to you. Tell them how an open Internet impacts your daily life, your business and your ability to connect with others. To save the Internet, we need to flood the FCC with stories from people around the country. Can you ask five friends to send their stories to the FCC? Tell Your Friends to Take Action With your help, we can send a message to the FCC that they can't ignore. Onward, Timothy Karr Campaign Director www.savetheinternet.com P.S. Here's what others are saying: "The greatest hope that this country has is the reconnection of American voices with our political system. The Internet is the first medium that is truly interactive, in which one person's voice can reach millions. This fundamental change would end the open Internet as we know it." Read Jennifer's full story. "In rural America, the Internet is very important in staying informed. We read several national newspapers every day to get the news our local paper does not thoroughly cover." Read Charles & Carol's full story. "Currently the media is not diverse at all, and the only option I have found to escape from it has been the Internet. ... If the Internet is controlled by powerful people with money, will it ever be what it has been? Will we be able to enjoy diversity?" Read Norie's full story.

Internet Doomsday Creeps Closer - Big government pushes for total taxation and restriction on the last great outpost of free speech
From infowars.com - Wednesday, June 6, 2007 By Steve Watson SUPER IMPORTANT: Tell the FCC to Save the Internet from Dictatorship! Monday, July 16, is the LAST DAY to tell the FCC your story!!! Recent proposals in the U.S. Congress are taking a huge swipe at freedom in America once again by aiming to impose multiple different forms of crippling taxation and restriction on users of the internet. Several bills were introduced last week that could see all manner of new forms of internet taxation become a reality before the end of the year. Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. Both American and European moves mimic stories we hear every week out of State Controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate their populations under a surveillance panopticon prison.

Anti-War Marine Veteran, Adam Kokesh, needs our help!!!
From Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) - Monday, June 4, 2007 IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! The hearing will be held on June 4, TODAY!!! From the article: My name is Adam Kokesh, and I need your help Dear Friend of Iraq Veterans Against the War, My name is Adam Kokesh, and I need your help. Because of my involvement in IVAW, I have been singled out and called for a military hearing to be made an example of for those of us who have spoken out against the war. I have been an active member of IVAW for a mere four months, but have already garnered enough attention to be perceived as a threat by those using our military to maintain political support for the occupation of Iraq. Because my second activation as a reservist extended past my six-year obligation, I am only in the Inactive Ready Reserve from my honorable discharge from active duty last November to June 18th. After my discharge, I moved to Washington, DC to get a Master's in Political Management at GWU, and joined IVAW. I have since appeared on behalf of IVAW speaking at concerts, universities, and high schools. I have written about my views on the occupation and my military experience for the IVAW website and on my blog.

Free Speech, How far will you go?
Saturday, May 26, 2007 By Your-Rights.com The hardest speech to protect is the kind you dislike the most. Just like me, most any person would think the behavior of the two girls in this video is horrible. However, would those same people fight for the girls' right to speak? Free speech is one of the most important rights that Americans have. It would be very easy to try to have hate-speech banned. That's why it is so important to fight for the rights of everyone without being selective of only the types of people who say things you like. Once you start trying to ban the types of speech that you don't like, you open the door for others to ban the types of speech that you like! What is interesting to notice here, especially for those who find this video to be shocking, is how you can very easily notice the girls racist, pro-hitler, nazi hate-speech propaganda, but could you easily hear the propaganda if they were talking about Jesus? The movie Jesus Camp exposes this same type of propaganda being taught to kids as what you can see with the nazi girls. It is people taking advantage of others naiveity. If you don't understand what I am saying, think about it a little and then think about it a lot! Then think about how people have been brainwashed into doing things any "normal" person would never do such as people who trade their Liberty for Security!

Federal Court Strikes Down NSA Warrantless Surveillance Program
From American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) - Thursday, August 17, 2006 DETROIT -- In an American Civil Liberties Union case, a federal court today ruled that the Bush administration's program to monitor the phone calls and e-mails of Americans without warrants is unconstitutional and must be stopped. This is the first ruling by a federal court to strike down the controversial National Security Agency surveillance program. "Today's ruling is a landmark victory against the abuse of power that has become the hallmark of the Bush administration," said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. "Government spying on innocent Americans without any kind of warrant and without Congressional approval runs counter to the very foundations of our democracy. Now Congress needs to do its job and stop the president from violating the law." Today's ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Anna Diggs Taylor agreed with the ACLU that the NSA program violates Americans' rights to free speech and privacy under the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution, and runs counter to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) passed by Congress. Judge Taylor also rejected the government's argument that the case could not proceed because of state secrets, saying that facts about NSA wiretapping have already been conceded by the government.

Non-violently Protest Against Bush and Go to Jail?
From San Francisco Chronicle - Sunday, January 4, 2004 By James Bovard "Free-Speech Zone" Bush administration quarantines dissent. When Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up 'free speech zones' or 'protest zones' where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event. The local police, at the Secret Service's behest, set up a "designated free-speech zone" on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush's speech. A 65-year-old man went to jail only because he was peacefully holding a sign stating "The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us." The man said, "If the Bush administration has its way, anyone who criticizes them will be out of sight and out of mind."

Chilling Effects of Anti-Terrorism
From Electronic Frontier Foundation - Monday, February 24, 2003 The right to free speech faces the strongest challenges during times of crisis. Whether or not any of us agree about each particular decision made to prevent public access to sensitive information, it is the Electronic Frontier Foundation's responsibility to chart any such efforts so that we as a society are at least aware of what is no longer available to us. This page attempts to convey the chilling effect that responses to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have had on information availability on the Internet as well as some sense of the effect on people trying to provide this information.
