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

Some days, I just don't know where to start. So hold on, and I will try to get through it all.

Over the weekend, we found the recent Gore Vidal book, Dreaming War, at our local used book store. It begins with the stolen election and moves quickly on to September 11th. Then, it started again. It was like what I talked about yesterday, when someone else starts to see reality. Reading about it again, I got some of those same feelings I got when I first started to see the truth. Now, it's mostly anger (I'm way past denial). And frustration. And the need to tell everyone.

Today I read this, The Attack Has Been Spectacular, and it started again. (It is kinda long, but worth it.) This blog is one way I fulfill the need to tell everyone. I believe I said this once before on here: I do not know what the truth is, but I am sure what we are being told is not the truth.

It is our duty as citizens of this country to force OUR government to tell us the truth, or we must replace our government. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell anyone who will listen! The fate of your country is at stake. Do you believe your country should be going around the world starting wars? Do you believe in tax cuts for the rich at the expense of all social programs for the less fortunate? Do you believe in separation of church and state? Do you believe in the right to privacy? The Bill of Rights? If you do, you had better speak up!

The best book on September 11th so far is The War on Freedom.

More dead Americans. Four US soldiers killed, two wounded in Baghdad attack. (Loved this quote: "the incident has not been qualified as an attack yet.") An update: 6 U.S. Soldiers Killed, 4 Injured In Baghdad: Reports. Notice the difference, if you will, between the two reports. Not necessarily in facts, but content. On closer look these are conflicting reports. Doing a search on this stuff reports can be found anywhere from 6 Americans wounded to six dead. This story and the Explosion at Mosque Kills Five Iraqis are still evolving.

It's good to see the honesty and integrity back in the White House, isn't it? As 2004 Nears, Bush Pins Slump on Clinton.
