The Internet: The Last Bastion of Free Speech

In the fight for free speech, the internet is the last holdout.  It is the only place that your opinion can be your opinion and can be stated as loudly as you want without fear of repercussions.

But not for long if the US Congress has it’s way…..

Much like the treasonous, unconstitutional NDAA, Congress wants to pass another bill to undermine personal freedom and, of course, yet another amendment.  This time they are taking a crack at the 1st amendment with H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA.

By quick and vague definition it makes a lot of sense.  Sheesh, criminals are making a killing stealing music and movie off the internet, when good and decent folks pay for all that!  By golly, it’s gotta stop!

My favorite presidential candidate, Senator Ron Paul, disagrees.  See this article to hear more from Dr. Paul on the subject.

But wait….on closer inspection, the legalese in the bill has the potential to eviscerate free speech….and like NDAA, without proof…only with suspicion of “wrong-doing”.  It’s all about copyright infringement.  If you tick off the powers that be, and you’ve quoted someone, somewhere, saying something, you may have infringed on their copyright.  As a defendant, you are not even present at the legal proceeding allowing “them” to shut you down until you prove yourself innocent.

How do they shut you down?  Search engines are required to remove you from their listings.  Internet Service Providers can be ordered to block access to your site.  Advertising networks and payment providers can also be forced to cease doing business with you.  This continues until you are proven INNOCENT.  Wait – I thought it was innocent until proven guilty….oh….that was “before” the NDAA.

Not only can SOPA nail you with a felony for “infringing” on a copyright (by doing something as small as playing a clip of a hit song during a photo montage ) – it can get you for “facilitating” infringement, which could be something as small as a hyperlink on your blog.  SOPA also targets address-spoofers and proxies that people around the world use to protect their anonymity.

What can you, as an everyday Jill or Jack, do about this?  How can you see to it that this bill doesn’t get out of the House of Representatives?

MAKE SOME NOISE!!!  Take the gloves off.  Share this post and others like it with everyone you know.  Send it to your Representatives and Senators.  Call those same members of congress and let them know that you will be watching their voting records.  Write letters to the editor of your local papers.  USE YOUR VOICES.

Feel free to share all or part of anything you read on my blog to help get the word out!

Guest Post: Honor in Government

I’d like to share another guest post from my friend, JD.  He is a passionate defender of the Constitution.  I urge you to share this post with your friends and family.  Send it to your local paper and share it as a letter to the editor.  Post a link to it on Facebook.  The mainstream media has been bought and paid for and the only way to get the word out and defend the American way of life is to use word of mouth and alternative media.  If you ever wondered how you could do your part, here is your answer. 

Help our voices be heard!

HONOR IN GOVERNMENT

[11/22/11]

Yes,…Honor!… above all else.

In the end, it should NOT have mattered what the international Banksters wanted, how much money they had, how much they were willing to offer to see their covert designs get carried out.

In the end, IF,…if our elected representatives, appointed officials, and employees of our government had discharged their duties with complete selflessness, and performed their primary task of protecting the US Government and its peoples from the scourge of corruption, we would NOT be facing the complete tyrannical usurpation we are now in our most desperate hour with!

The Constitution as designed by our Founding Fathers, is an incredible system of government, designed around the fundamental premise that, “Government exist to protect the sovereign rights of the individual”, NOT what this criminal gov’t has distorted it to be, which is, “People Exist To Serve The Government”.

Although the Constitution was designed with checks and balances to stem the excess of any single branch of government, it had one serious flaw, an Achilles heel which has now permitted its complete subversion to occur;….it REQUIRED men of HONOR and SELFLESS dedication to serve it!

In other words, our Founding Fathers, for all their brilliance, forgot one aspect of human nature,… greed,….the wanton disregard of duty when replaced by avarice and the notion of self-importance in the hearts of men.

This is EXACTLY the psychological weakness that was exploited by the international Banksters, the Federal Reserve, and later the IMF and World Bank.

They simply bought off our own politicians to have them destroy our cherished bases of Constitutional protections from within! How perverse and insidious is that?

Now, because the Banksters own 95% of all the worlds wealth, they can bribe virtually any politician, any official, any judge, or any person in a critical position of authority or power who lacks honor, by simply offering the mesmerizing dazzle of unlimited wealth, and the ability for them to fully realize any manifestation of perversion, debauchery, and treachery their psychotic aberrations can imagine,…without consequence or limit!

Yes my fellow Americans,… I could not state it more fervently,… HONOR above all else!

It is with great sadness that I must inform you, our fellow countrymen, and the citizens of the world, the single most important trait needed in our leaders, politicians, police and institutions;…. HONOR… is the virtue most completely missing from their hearts…their minds,… and their actions.

Please, my fellow Americans… prepare yourself, your family, and friends for the worst.
