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

This is a great read
How do you know when you win?
The problem is that terrorism is a tool - a weapon - not an actor. Like war, terrorism is the use of violence by groups or individuals to advance a political objective, most frequently when nonviolent paths to action appear closed. As in war, innocent bystanders are often the victims, indeed sometimes the targets. It is a weapon used by the weak against the strong, the colonial subject against the imperial power, the occupied against the occupier, and the dispossessed and disenfranchised against the oppressor. It is as old as history and is not likely to disappear soon. Suicide bombers are a contemporary version of an old phenomenon. Centuries of authoritarian rulers have used terror to intimidate and control their own populations. Saddam joins a long line stretching from Caligula to Stalin and was not alone among contemporary political leaders.

Remember the California energy crisis?
