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

It's a very straight forward question:
"Do you believe your government is capable of lying to you about such important issues: The reasons for attacking Iraq, The capture of Saddam Hussein and September 11, 2001?"
This article asks it. The last paragraph is excellent and I highlight my favorite part:
It's not an easy question for most Americans, but it's an important one all should at least consider. It is difficult ... and frightening ... to think that those leading our nation could be capable of such heinous behavior. The corporate media and the government is fond of marginalizing persons who ask such questions as, "Conspiracy Theorists". But we have no conspiracy theory. We only have questions. A healthy skepticism of those who are leading our country is the lifeblood of our democracy.
This is one of the best articles, and it is very short, I have seen lately that lays it out very plain and simple.

Well folks once again everyone else in the world is starting to hear the truth about the, ahem, "capture" of Saddam. Remember the DEBKAfile article I posted last week? Here are a couple of good articles about this: Revealed: who really found Saddam? and Saddam was captured by Kurds, not US. One more story on this, Did Kurds Dupe Bush's Brass; or Did Bush Sell Out Iraqis to Kurds as Part of Saddam Handover Deal? To further prove how the American press is dropping the ball on the do a Google search on "Saddam Captured by Kurds" or some variation of that and see what you get. Here is another site, Correspondences.org that goes over the story but check out all the links at the bottom. It sure is interesting that not one US media source is involved in this story. Do you still think the press in this country is independent? Where is the US corporate media on this story?
