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

Gene Lyons writes great editorials. He co-wrote The Hunting of the President with Joe Conason. What Democrats are up against in today?s GOP.

I used to take Softball seriously and it would piss me off. Now I watch it and catch The Grapevine segment, late night, on Brit Hume's show just to see what disinformation they are spreading. Chris is like Greenspan, a "Hack", Save Democracy, Shut Off Chris Matthews. On the heals of that story telling us what a bunch of corporate shills the media is we get this, Halliburton operates in Iran despite sanctions:
Halliburton says the operation ? videotaped by NBC News ? is entirely legal (because the Vice President used to be the CEO). It's run by a subsidiary called "Halliburton Products and Services Limited," based outside the U.S. In fact, the law allows foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations to do business in Iran under strict conditions.

Other U.S. oil services companies, like Weatherford and Baker Hughes, also are in Iran. And foreign subsidiaries of NBC's parent company, General Electric, have sold equipment to Iran, though the company says it will make no more sales. (MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.)
