American Gulag

I have said this many times, in many places, to many people. In order for the transformation of America into a Theocratic Fascist State, the ruling tyrants must control the internet.

They must. Tyranny can only hold if the masses know only ignorance.

At present, the mainstream news media is completely dominated by corporate power and everything reported to the American people is vetted by the White House. What we see, what we hear, what we know is only what the ruling elite want us to know. At present, there is NO Independent news media in this country. NONE!

Further, we are now forbidden to gather in groups on street corners due to Homeland Security and Secret Service mandate that allows them to arrest, or detain, anyone who speaks out against the ruling junta. Don't believe this? Ask Cindy Sheehan why she was escorted from the State of Union Address for wearing a shirt with an anti-administration saying. Ask people who were detained and prevented from attending political rallies because they had anti-Bush stickers on their cars.

Notice what happens to anyone who confronts the power of Bush; Generals forcibly retired from Military Service; Whistleblowers fired; Reputations slurred and demeaned. We have been subjected to massive invasion of our Constitutional rights by the Bush Administration in many ways. Recording of our telephone calls by the Federal Government is just one example. The Bush Administration has admitted that it plans to record and retain ALL telephone calls made in the United States. Further, At&t, Comcast, Verizon, all have agreed to turn over their records to the Government, so that anything we do can be monitored and examined. Cell phone calls can be, and are being, traced and recorded across the land.

If you are ruled by the Bush Administration an enemy of the state, you are subject to interrogation, torture, and imprisonment without trial or attorney. You may be held as long as the U.S. Government deems necessary.

Therefore, our only measure of freedom, the only means of free speech left in American today is the Internet.

The Internet is where we have access to the real world. WE can read about what is really happening, free of U.S. Censorship. We can decide for ourselves what is fact and what is fiction. We can learn things about our Government and the world situations that our Government would prefer we not know. The Internet is the last measure of real freedom left in this country.

Kiss it goodbye.

This is serious stuff and every American should be in the streets screaming with rage at the ongoing loss of American Freedom and Rights. But most Americans don't have a clue this is happening, because it will never appear on CBS, NBC, ABC, or Fox. Many Americans will never know of this further threat to their freedom and that one more nail has been hammered into their prison.

It is so damn ironic, America is reputed to be one of the most free societies on the globe, and the Republican Christians are turning it into a Theocratic Fascist States right before our eyes!

Proposed Rule Changes Would Tangle the Web

"Congress wants to change the Internet.

This is news to most people because the major news media have not actively pursued the story. Yet both the House and Senate commerce committees are promoting new rules governing the manner by which most Americans receive the Web. Congressional passage of new rules is widely anticipated, as is President Bush's signature. Once this happens, the Internet will change before your eyes.

The proposed House legislation, the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act (COPE), offers no protections for "network neutrality."..
