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 appears that quite a few people are calling for an investigation into the torture memos, Twelve former judges, seven past presidents of the American Bar Association, a former FBI director and more than 100 other legal experts... That's quite a list. Why would they care? Maybe this is the reason [link]:
"The use of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by U.S. personnel in the interrogation of prisoners captured in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts has brought shame on the nation and undermined our standing in the world,"
Wasn't Bush supposed to bring honor back to the White House? Also with each new revelation the "few bad apples" defense gets harder and harder to believe, Ordered to just walk away.


We also find out this information today, Iraq 'ended nuclear aims in 1991'. This really does not come as a surprise. We knew after all before the war that there was a very good chance the WMD were pretty much gone. That is unless you were listening to the President or anyone in his administration or the intelligence community or the media. Of course this man told us but not many listened, Bomb Saddam, Save the G.O.P.

Today the Washington Post says it's sorry for not doing its job. Sorry it has cost tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, The Post on WMDs: An Inside Story.

Did you forget there was a war going on? US Media Won't Cover What's Happening In Iraq and Media Fatigue Sets In For Iraq: Carnage Up, Reportage Down.

There is only one way to end the horror, The withdrawal of foreign troops is the only solution.
