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

Improve the CIA? Better to abolish it
Adm. Stansfield Turner, former director of central intelligence from 1977 to 1981, recommended in a New York Times op-ed earlier this month that U.

No one has been demoted. The same people who are guarding us today on an elevated security alert are the same people who were working that day." She describes her late husband, Richard Gabrielle, an insurance broker who lay trapped underneath rubble as the South Tower collapsed: "He was a gentle man, and he was alive, trying to get out of that building that day. The dead. The dying. The smoke. The terror. No one should have suffered like that. I want accountability. I need answers."

Biggest Refunds from Recent Tax Cuts to Go to Small Number of Taxpayers
Herbert Miles heard the buzz surrounding last spring's tax cuts -- that they would result in hundreds of dollars in savings for ordinary taxpayers. But Miles, a retired truck driver who lives in Garner, was not smiling last week as he reviewed his completed 1040 tax form. His refund had fallen 20 percent from $1,400 a year ago to $1,100.
