Silence is Consent

If you don't speak up you accept what is happening. This site was born out of the mainstream media's inability to cover the news. I am just an American cititzen trying to spread the word in the era of FCC consolidation, post 9/11 Patriot Act hysteria, hackable voting machines and war without end. I rant and post news items I perceive to be relevant to our current situation.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
- Thomas Jefferson

Check this site for all your Killer D needs.

Today I added a link to The Smirking Chimp. A very good daily read. Some days I read what is going on and don't know where to start. If you have some time go to C-Span and watch Ramsey Clark speak about the Iraq war. It's sobering to hear about all that went on in Iraq. This article once again speaks about the consequences of the lying.

I believe now in our country the people are numb. Being lied to doesn't shock people anymore because it has been happening for so long that they just don't care anymore. As long as they are shown feel-good pictures of supposed liberations and the media keeps telling them that we saved the Iraqis from tyranny, most Americans feel good about the war. Few American casualties and we scattered another bad guy; now back to American Idol. This was not the liberation of France! The people there are not full of glee now! The people of Iraq have been involved in war, cold and hot, for at least 30 years. Do you think these people expect any help from the new conquerors? One of the things I remember being said before the war, and still believe to be true, is that the rest of the world will look at how we handle Afghanistan as an example of what we will do in Iraq. Well, look at Afghanistan: The Taliban is back. Pick the story you like, Christian Science Monitor, NYT. Saddam's buddies are back as well.
