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

Social Security is not broken and therefore does not need to be fixed

Remember, if you fail to plan you are planning to fail.
Draft?
Two bills pending in Congress would launch a new draft for all young Americans ages 18 to 26, both male and female, with no college exemption. Also, a new border agreement with Canada is designed to prevent young Americans from fleeing northward to elude the draft.

Another grieving mother speaks
It’s John Kerry, Damn It!
It’s John Kerry, G-d damn it. Write to him. Be on his side and tell him what you want. Tell him you’re enraged at Bush and Cheney and Rice and Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz. Tell him what we say around the quiet tables of our perceived final America feasts—that we are filled with hate and rage and it hurts and we want it to stop. We want this war over. We want terrorism to stop. We want more nuanced ways of stopping it—with some real force directed at the real culprits, and some mediation with the rest of world, some giving policies, some kindness. Tell him that at the quiet of our dinner tables, with enough wine to say it outloud, tell him we sometimes say, though we really don’t mean it, we wish Bush dead because we fear he will kill literally our own children and spiritually the rest of our world.

Tell him, G-d damn it! Or it’s going to drive our own good people to self destruction. Something we really don’t want.

Because enough towers have fallen.
