[political-researchp] Bloglines - Net Neutrality ad nauseam

Ezra Klein

Net Neutrality ad nauseam

By DymaxionWorldJohn

(Posted by John.)

There are certainly better-qualified voices out there to go over the intricacies of the whole net neutrality debate than I. For example, Matt Stoller has been doing yeoman's work at MyDD.com. (One of the latest posts, about the rhetoric of the big telcos, is here.

One of the most depressing things about this debate is the childish rhetoric being used by Big Telco.

First of all, there's the ridiculous: The accusation by the telecom lobby that what we're talking about is government "taking control" of the Internet. What we're talking about is government regulation, not forced nationalization. At the most extreme, you'll even hear idiotic telco spokespeople compare net neutrality to Soviet Russia.

The fact of the matter is that what Neutrality activists are asking for is the government to maintain the principles that served the Internet well through most of its history. The reason for this is simple enough - until the explosion in broadband use, most Internet users used dialup. Phone lines are already forced by government regulation to operate on principles of neutrality.

This was originally true of high-speed fiber as well, until telcos got the government to waive those regulations to encourage investment in broadband.

The second, related assertion by the telcos is that we don't need government regulation because "the Internet hasn't been regulated thus far and it's working fine." The partial response to this is above, that the Internet was de facto regulated by the same rules that governed telephone exhanges. The fuller response is to say that past performance is no guarantee of future success. This is especially the case if telecom companies are already trying to break the Internet as we know it.

The third assertion is that there's no evidence that ISPs are actually filtering traffic. This isn't exactly reassuring, because these companies refuse to allow any kind of investigation in to their methods.

The fourth assertion totally contradicts the third one, which doesn't stop telecom reps from using it: ISPs already filter Internet traffic in any number of cases - spam, viruses, etc. This is really a red herring - no proposed regulation would inhibit network administrators from properly maintaining the network.

Assertion #5 is that "somebody has to pay" for high-speed broadband, and it's either going to be companies like Google and Youtube, or it's going to be you and me. Nobody advocating for neutrality expects a free lunch, but this assertion has a number of problems. The first is that engineering partiality in to the network is expensive - more expensive than simply adding enough bandwidth to make partiality unnecessary, according to the people who built Internet 2 (the Abilene network.) The second point is that Google and Youtube, as well as you and me, already pay for both ends of the network. This business model works, and was sufficient to build every previous network in use today - electricity, telephone, cable, etc. It's highly doubtful that this business model won't suffice for broadband.

This is by no means meant to be an exhaustive list of the talking points used in this debate, nor do I expect to be the final word. But these are certainly the most common arguments used by the bad guys in this fight, and they're being used to totally misconstrue the debate.

Subject: Why the United States Invaded Iraq and is Now Thinking About Invadin

Quite long but intelligent analysis of the reasons behind U.S. war-mongering in the middle-East.
A crusade against Islam; Securing control over diminishing world oil reserves; Boosting military-industrial
complex and oil company profits; containing China's ambitions; and 'securing the realm' for Israel.
All culminating (supposedly) to ensure amerikkkan dominance for the 21st Century.

If you read-between-the-lines, I think this piece also provides some keen insights into why
the 'false flag' 'psy-ops' 'terror' attacks of September 11 were engineered.

Why the United States Invaded Iraq and is Now Thinking About Invading Iran
Dr. Abbas Bakhtiar, Dr. Abbas Bakhtiar

May 12, 2006

Why did the United States attack Iraq and why is she so keen on attacking Iran now?

We now know that from the beginning, this administration was looking for any excuse

to invade Iraq. Washington has, over time, given a number of different reasons

for invading Iraq: starting with Iraq's developing Nuclear weapons, to war on terror,

to spreading democracy in the Middle East. All these reasons have proven to be false.

Iraq did not possess any Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD); and did not have

any link to Al Qaeda. And instead of democracy, Iraqis have had to endure Abu Ghraib,

car bombs, and shortage of basic services such as electricity, clean water,

and health care. None of the ministries are functioning properly and in addition

Iraq has to deal with half a million displaced people. There is also talk of a partitioning

of Iraq. On top of all this, the Iraqis now face a possible bloody civil war.

After spending over 320 billion dollars for Iraq war (officially so far) and with no end

in sight, why is this administration insisting on starting another catastrophic war

in the Middle East?

There have been a number of theories put forward by various groups and individuals.

* Crusade -- Some Muslims think that United States has started a crusade against Islam

and is determined to vanquish any and all countries that stand in its way.

* Oil Reserves -- There are other groups who think that with the oil reserves diminishing fast,

United States is trying to corner all the reserves and supplies for itself, thereby ensuring

its future dominant economic position in the world.

* China -- There are others who think that an invasion of Iraq and targeting of Iran

is part a geo-political move by United States to block China's emergence as a world power

by restricting its access to oil.

* Israel -- Finally there are those that argue that the United States is doing the bidding

of Israel and getting rid of those that may challenge Israel's hegemony in the Middle East

in the future.

The answer probably contains some of all of the above.

One of the forgotten details of 9/11:

It was apparent to many in Manhattan on the morning
of 9-11-1 that missiles were being fired into the
World Trade Center from the roof of at least one
near-by skyscraper. That is what the following reports
deal with. On the afternoon of 9-11-1, such missiles
were actually filmed - see separate video at

http://www.thewebfairy.com/911/letsroll911/Web/woolworth.mpg

Unbelievable but true! Who placed rocket launchers in
their locations so that missiles could be fired into
the WTC site???

Apparently, the top floors of the Woolworth tower have
been standing empty for several years since the
name-giving company, the well-known Woolworth
Department Stores, went bankrupt.

Follow up: Press Release &amp; Open Letter to all people, media &
elected officials

Please keep in mind this press release is only layman's way of
thinking, offering examples as food for thought.

This, in hope that those with integrity in elected official
positions will fight to come up with acceptable remedy for recovery
in America.

Some say that every immigrant who has entered this country since
1980, should be deported, because most did not go through the proper
channels to gain citizenship.

But.

It was because of "US" (corporate america and all who benefited from
exploiting others) that drew them here in the first place.

We can't ever blame someone for wanting to come here for survival.

Especially when they were purposely encouraged because of the greed
in others and at the same time condoned by government.

Due to the established past practice in policy of dealing with this
matter, or lack of, we are now legally and morally responsible for
the well being of most of these people.

Some are saying they don't like the idea of taking from anyone to
give to someone else.

As in, when I said corrupt government and their partners in crime as
well as criminal corporate america should foot the bill to correct
and right the wrongs done in the illegal immigration situation.

It would not be taking from others at all. It would be simple
justice.

Those responsible who have knowingly hired non-citizens in big
business and/or any business or home should be heavily fined on each
count.

Taking all into consideration, each business, individually.

Such as how many illegal people and for how long.

Fines should be stiffer for those who fueled their greed as in not
even paying one the minimum wage, too.

In other words the filthier rich one is because of greed, they need
give back in the same measure of all they took and oppressed.

I'm also saying, all these rats in government positions should help
foot the bill who are found guilty of any kind of corruption, from
now on.

Their well deserved fines should be put in a special fund that will
be controlled by citizens overseeing they are used where needed.

Some say they are against the idea of non-citizens being paid
minimum wage.

They need understand because of this, our own wages are depressed in
the first place.

From now on all immigrants who are allowed to stay, should make at
least minimum wage so the reason for the exploiting stops.

"Lord" forbid the rich get any richer from this past greedy, selfish
and criminal way of life.

We have been oppressed by their actions and made subject to this for
so very long.

I cannot understand why anyone can't see the need for the wall.

It would cut down on manpower needed there in the long run and it
would create jobs in the meantime, at the same time. I don't like
the idea of a wall either but I believe one is needed until the
chaos becomes order.

Some are saying people need to get out of, "The being taken care of
mentality, and learn to take care of themselves."

I agree. But due to circumstances and there are many in this case,
we need help them get to a point where they have a fair and decent
chance to help themselves, first.

Press Release &amp; Open Letter to all People, including media & elected
officials

"We The People," the true majority, in understanding the dangerous
ground we stand, look forward to working with those intent on
righting the many wrongs in America.

With your help, together we can and will defeat this broken and
corrupt system we have allowed to flourish and exist for far too
long.

We must succeed to secure the future for the sake of all children on
this planet. Their very lives are at stake.

For far too long, too many have been looking the other way as
multitudes have suffered and died.

We look forward to the time when we can finally implement and share
with our neighbors, the many known alternatives to the oil saga
which is destroying our people and planet.

Many of us are thankful to those in media with integrity who are
speaking out, allowing truth to finally be told.

We are aware of those in elected positions who have our best
interests at heart, too.

Thank you all, on behalf of all our people everywhere.

We are especially thankful to Lou Dobbs from CNN News, whom the real
patriots appreciate and love.

As for the rest who don't have our best interests in mind, we are
watching, taking note and educating the masses.

We are giving some, one last chance to come over to the correct and
moral side of this war of corruption, we are all up against.

There is, now, so much truth out, shedding so much light everywhere,
that no conspiracy or corruption is safe or will be left uncovered.

The attack of truth is on. "We The People" are on the move and
corruption is on the run.

There should be no right or left to anything any more. Just right or
wrong.

So, please, someone tell Bill the shill O'Reilly from Fox News, to
get off that deceptive spin.

Tell him to stop the fake stereo type political agenda kick,
continuously labeling what's right as "the pinhead left."

And on the illegal immigration matter.

To those few compared to the masses throughout cyberworld and
uncyberworld, who are so very angry with Lou Dobbs and those of like
mind. Know the anger's for good reason and please try to pay close
attention to everything involved.

Please try to see the big picture before you judge what others have
to say. In fact, everyone needs see all sides of this whole picture,
cutting through all illusion and right to truth of the hard core
reality.

Truth can and does hurt sometimes but as individuals and as a whole,
we can get past the pain, then the healing can begin.

The lack of truth is always much more hurtful, especially in the
long run and very deadly for many.

Some say we don't need a wall at our border?

Most know we must close the borders "NOW" and everyone must
understand the need for the wall.

There's a stretch of fence that has proven to limit the crime in one
town that has been reported by main stream media. So we already know
the wall can work.

We have to stop the chaos and take care of the many wrongs on this
side of the border before we will be able to help others.

It's the only way.

We must fix America before we can help our neighbors effectively. As
we should have been doing all along.

We have to stop the flow over the border long enough to result in
fixing all that's broken here.

Stop the chaos long enough to get a grip on corruption here,
starting at the top in government and including all else involved.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

First, we need that wall and when the day comes to knock it down,
then we all can celebrate.

We need a plan for the recovery of our America and we need it now.

We need our elected leaders to work directly with "US" to create it.

A plan that will remedy all and save "US" as well as everyone else
in the world, too.

One that will take us off this road of destruction we are on.

A plan that will save all the good people from what could be fates
worse than death, as has been the case for many, for generations.

We now see where perpetual war has gotten us and who's benefited.

Those times are over and the rich and greedy are finished being able
to deceive the people as a whole.

Justly, the corrupt in government, their partners in crime and
(((criminal corporate america))) should foot the bill for our
recovery concerning the immigration situation as well as all else
they have helped to taint and destroy.

It will be sort of like taking from the greedy and evil rich and
giving to the poor and deserving.

Although here against the law, all non-citizens should be taken care
of on individual basis and according to their merits, or lack of
them.

They should be allowed to stay but no quick and hasty citizenship
should be given for those here illegally. Longer term citizenship
goals could be established. After proper channels have been met such
as backgrounds checks.

Everyone should at least be paid minimum wage, if not already and an
increase for all others, that is long over due should be awarded.

Please bear with me as I offer some suggestions from a layman's
point of view to use as food for thought in creating the needed plan
that will save us.

To help fund the needed programs for the fair treatment of non-
citizens, how about using the billions from the illegal immigrants
using fake social security numbers?

Then the controversial and illegal federal income tax could be
addressed as should have been done and remedied already.

>>> http://www.freedomtofascism.com/

This unfair, extra and added tax on top of all the others that we
pay, could be replaced by a fair tax, non-citizens could be
responsible for. This could finally and justly relieve the over
taxed and over burdened middle class.

The "Truth" behind the federal reserve and all that goes with that,
to further clean up corruption needs be part of our
agenda>>>http://www.worldnewsstand.net/today/articles/fedprivatelyown
ed.htm

Many committees of average citizens need and should be formed on
many fronts, including a desperately needed committee to oversee the
transition of downsizing DC.

Our friends at Downsize, DC could head up that department. Gladly
and efficiently, I'm sure>>>http://www.downsizedc.org/

We need to get a hold on the senseless spending, "NOW" and needless
jobs should be liquidated carefully and fairly.

Not to worry. "Not one person would be left behind." There would be
doors opening for all those that close. All would get what they have
worked for and deserve. Good and bad

We know the corrupt administration and the powers the be, that drive
them, have been very busy safeguarding for their own future needs.
Especially since they have such a big hand and hope in forcing the
worse to happen.

As for our future, they have readied many prison camps as we all
know as well as knowing their many locations.

Included at the end of this communication are many links for
information and research pertaining to these prison camps.

They have been planning and hoping to create martial law to round up
the dissidents. "The True Patriots" of America.

"We The People" know this is why the widespread wire tapping is
going on. It's our own people who are being targeted. The one's who
want truth and justice is who this administration is after.

This is because they know we know they're war criminals as well as
criminals of all sorts.

They know when this is all over, only one of "US" will be left
standing and they are very much hoping to save themselves.

We must not let that happen.

We are already many patriots in jails now.

The latest being one of our patriots incarcerated for hanging a
sign>>>http://tinyurl.com/pegu5

We worry for our friend who is a very old man named Irwin Schiff who
may in prison for telling the truth. A hero and pioneer in fighting
for us all for truth concerning the illegal income tax.

They abuse him and actually take his commissary money stating he
owes it to the government.

We are tired of living with injustice and in fear. Our people have
been preparing and busy educating law enforcement and military for
several years now>>>http://land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/vk2k.shtml

http://www.patriotamerica.com/

If the evil and corrupt empire initiates what they have been vying
for, civil war, many have taken careful precaution.

Including educating law enforcement and military so they will know
which way to point the guns, if and when it comes down to that.

"Lord" forbid that should happen.

Okay back to layman's ideas to brainstorm and hopefully help figure
how to help repair America.

Those prison camps could come in very handy, couldn't they? We hear
they are ready and already staffed.

We could make very good use of them for the criminal element as well
as safe haven for the displaced until their wanted & deserved
destinations are determined and followed through on with remedy.

These camps I speak of could be made pleasant and humane
environments.

Just a thought.

We must help everyone, including those who may or may not need
deported.

Deportation should be the very last consideration or move.

The bad seeds could be housed separately as we sort out the bad
elements.

All those who are not clearly bad news (real criminals) should be
given highest consideration and help to place them where they need
and want to be.

Unless otherwise proven guilty of crime, with no doubt left to
reason, everyone should qualify for non-citizen benefits with a fair
shot at citizenship at a later time.

Don't think it can't be done and order created out of this huge
mess. It has to be done.

Even the displaced Katrina people could gather at these many huge
camp sites in order to be placed where they could be helped in an
orderly and acceptable manner.

Maybe we could revamp the CIA to be the intake center for the
millions of applications that would need legitimate and timely
attention for the immigrants and Katrina victims?

The CIA is no good at spying and ruined in that department for now,
it seems, anyway.

The good guys and gals left standing after all the scandals play
out, would make great intake officers, wouldn't they?

The FBI, NSA, DEA, all those broken three letter organizations need
revamped.

No band aids will do, we need complete cures now.

"We The People" are the employers of those in government and we need
to play a big part in the plans and actions for recovery at this
point.

Many committees of citizens should be created to watch over all
government entities.

Until we learn who can be trusted, their every move needs watched
closely. This, until we'd feel safe enough to trust and leave them
operating on their own, again.

Then, after we figured out who the good people were, we could
promote the trustworthy from within and a new legitimate CIA could
be born.

Maybe all the other three letter agencies could have productive and
beneficial job description changes, too?

We could recreate all the agencies, promoting from within and from
outside too, for a better and trustworthy work force that would
truly safeguard America, for a change.

Our hopes and prayers are with you that stand with "US." To
pResident bush we say, "Bring it on"

We are ready, willing and able to defend ourselves for the sake of
our children and their bleak looking future.

This is the site with the latest info & pictures concerning
the "Camp Grayling Range 3 area" speculated by some to be a citizen
detention camp located on a Michigan military reservation.

Surely, this is a very real place...But, what is this place exactly,
and does it serve as a sinister holding area for future government
dissidents through Rex '84, Operation Garden Plot, & FEMA programs?

Decide for yourself...

Judith Pfeif does it Again!

Oh we get high with a little help from our friends and today, one
of our friends has done it again. What you ask? Well this afternoon,
because there seems to be no justice left in this land, not in any
district court, not in any supreme court, and certainly not any other
court in the land, Judith Pfeif has gone and taken our fight to the
Peoples court.
Today May 1st, 2006 Judith Pfeif went down with a little financial
help from a friend and filed a small claims case against the local rag
The Durango Herald to try and get them to print the report about the 911
cover up and the cold hearted truth about the murder of over 3,000
Americans by our own government.
Many of you will remember Judith from last March's report describing how
she took a petition asking the paper to print a story about the 911
cover up. She and a small group of concerned citizens with over two
hundred signatures on the Petition, Five major 911 Truth DVD movies, 133
web sites showing govt. complicity in the 911 Cover Up, Expert Reports,
and MSNBC and CNN Polls all indicating a majority of Americans feel
there is a cover up all went down to the Durango Herald to ask them to
review all the evidence and do the report about the Cover Up of this
horrible crime.
Since then, when asked why they would not do a report, no real answer
came from the owner, or publisher. Many of us even protested the paper
asking for the 911 Cover Up Truth to be printed the Monday after she
presented the massive pile of evidence and as of yet, not a thing has
been said or done. The editor copped out by saying he only handles the
editorial page and that he is not responsible for the news stories in
the paper. Hockey-Puck! We are all sick and tired of the cow-towing of
the tainted govt. supplied Associated Press and UPI propaganda that ONLY
pushes the dictators mandated reporting. They actively support the
criminal leadership and this Cover Up by not printing the truth. It's
all Tripe and the People are sick and tired of it! The 911 issues and
subsequent Cover Up is the major reason that our country is in the sad
shape it is in today and why it is going down the drain fast.
Now the reasoning we are using is that if these people have been given
the facts on the Crime of the 911 Inside Job Event, and they still
refuse to print the truth, then this makes them complicit in the
Cover-up of the Crime of the Century. We also contend that since they
are actively covering up the Crime, it is also true that they are part
of it thus making them accessories, or accomplices in the Crime itself.
What's wrong with this picture when the place we are supposed to get
truth from is part of the plan to deceive the World and millions of
Americans?
The Durango Herald as well as every other newspaper or media outlet that
knows the truth of this horrible crime are all accomplices in the crime
itself by continuing to Cover Up the horrible truth. We therefore have
filed this case in the small claims court to first present our evidence,
then ask them on the stand, why? Why do you continue the charade and
refuse to report the truth about 911 and the cover up involved even
after you all have been given the facts, the DVD movies, 133 websites
about this horrible crime, the reports, the polls, and a petition from
over two hundred of the local towns people? That might not seem like a
lot to big city people, but this is a small town and it is a lot of
people focused on one subject for this town.
Here below is a copy of the filed paper work and now we really need
other supporters to hop on board the Truth Train and get behind Judith
in her efforts. If there are any concerned lawyers out there, we need
you now. If there are any experts out there, we need you now. If there
is any one that can come to Durango Colorado and support her on June 1,
2006 to testify, add affidavits, or any other supportive evidence, we
need you now. It's now or never people so shat of get off the pot
because this is another God given to set ourselves free with the truth.
Hummmm...set your self free with the truth...the truth will set you
free...hummmm.
This is the main body of the complaint against the Owner of the Durango
Herald, Morley Ballantine, the Publisher Richard Ballantine, and the
Agent who represents the Durango Herald itself.
PLAINTIFFS CLAIM:
DEFENDANTS HAVE FORCED UPON THE PLAINTIFFS THE ARDUOUS JOB OF TRYING TO
REPORT THE STORY OF THE 911 COVER UP THUS COSTING THE PLAINTIFFS MASSIVE
AMOUNTS OF CASH MONIES FOR DVD's, PAPER COPYING OF REPORTS, LOSS OF
WAGES, LOSS OF PERSONAL TIME TO PURSUE WORK, GAS MONEY, LOSS OF
REPUTATION, HUNDREDS OF HOURS TO GET SIGNATURES ON PETITIONS, AND 150
HR's @ $30.00 AN HOUR FOR DOCUMENTARY RESEARCH PURPOSES TO EXPOSE THE
TRUTH OF THE 911 COVER UP. THE DEFENDANTS ARE GUILTY OF COMPLICITY IN
THE COVERING UP THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 911 TRAGEDY THUS MAKING EVERY ONE OF
THEM ACCOMPLICES IN THE GREATEST CRIME OF THE THIS CENTURY.
Signed, Judith Pfeif (and Her Org.--Caring For Our Community)
Be it known that this is not a trivial pursuit for money. Rather, it is
an effort to get the truth printed about the horrendous 911 Crime and
ongoing Cover Up by the mainstream media. We have already come up with
an out of court settlement should they so choose it. We will ask them
for a Ten Page report about the Event and subsequent Cover Up by that
same mainstream media in lieu of any monitorial reward. The thinking is,
if we can get One Major newspaper to report this awesome story, then
maybe they will all follow the leader bird and do a report also. Then,
it's time for the People to take action and maybe, a few district
attorneys who are supposed to work for the people to follow in line and
do some prosecuting also. We have to remember that being complicit in
the cover up is also being an accessory in the crime itself.
We want to encourage EVERYONE to do the same thing to their complicit
newspapers, radio stations, or especially those main stream TV stations.
We also invite you to copy this report, or any of its contents in any
way, form or fashion to try to attain the same goals. It is still
possible to stop this insanity and the further pursuits of an OIL
BARRONS WAR! There is time to bring our troops home so they will be here
when the chinese and mexicans come to destroy our sovereign country
under the UN martial law take over.
May God guide and bless you all in any endeavors you undertake to expose
the 911 Cover Up and Truth of this corrupt war mongering administration
to the light of day.
In Service for You,
Dr Jay
Pager number for Judith: 970-382-4219
PS: To our local friends. Judith needs your support
now more than ever. If you care at all about your futures, please get a
hold of her and show support in affidavits, testimony, pictures, and
your presence in the court room on June 1, 2006 at 8:30am to show the
Peoples support of this case. We all need you NOW!!!

Dear World Can't Wait Supporter,

Judge Orders World Can't Wait Activist to Jail Psych Unit
CAROL FISHER REMAINS STRONG AND UNAPOLOGETIC

May 9: Judge Timothy McGinty forcibly incarcerated Carol
Fisher
in the psych unit of the Cuyahoga County Jail in downtown Cleveland,
where
she now sits for an indefinite period of time.

In a hastily called hearing yesterday, Judge McGinty made a
highly unusual and outrageous decision to force Carol to undergo a
state
psychological exam as part of her pre-sentencing investigation. From
the
very start of Carol's case, the judge has openly said that she must
have
mental problems for resisting an unlawful and brutal encounter with
Cleveland Heights police. He went even further in yesterday's hearing,
saying that her opposition to the Bush regime makes her "delusional."

The small courtroom on the 21st floor of the Justice Center
was
ringed with 5 armed court bailiffs. McGinty started off the hearing by
making Carol stand up and had one of her attorneys read her t-shirt,
which
said:

"Wanted for Illegally Crossing Borders: The Bush Regime

"If you are going to insist that crossing borders illegally
is a
crime which cannot be tolerated, how about George Bush, Dick Cheney,
Donald
Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice (and yes, Colin Powell) and the rest of that
gang, with their highly illegal, and violent, 'crossing of the
border'-into
Iraq, among other places?!"

McGinty then said this was proof of her delusion! He also
kept
saying Carol "wants" to go to jail, and that she has a "martyr
complex."
When Carol tried to explain why she wouldn't take this test, the
judge's
only response was, "I do not negotiate with felons."

Does Carol really want to go to jail? No! But she is not
willing to comply with a vindictive court ordered test to "prove" her
sanity. And more than that, she is taking a stand for everyone who is
angry
and fearful of a government that, under the rubric of "national
security and
the war on terror," willfully and unapologetically tramples on the most
basic rights of privacy. Think about this in light of the NSA spying
scandal, and now Bush wants to install the head of the notorious NSA to
be
CIA chief! As Carol said before she went to jail, "I'd be crazy to go
along
with this shit! That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop,
you
will learn--or be forced--to accept."

Just look at this whole case: a woman posts a "Bush Step
Down"
poster on a telephone pole, being brutalized by the police in the
process,
and now not only faces 3 years in prison but also a mandatory psych
exam.
As Terry Gilbert, one of Carol's attorneys said, "This is Gulag
stuff--saying that people who are dissidents are crazy." He further
added
that in his 33 years of practicing law, he has never seen anything like
this.

Is this the kind of country you want to live in?

On the phone this morning, Carol Fisher stated that, in
addition
to sending her to the psych unit, McGinty has also put her on "suicide
watch"! They have taken away her eyeglasses. And if she refuses the
psych
exam, she will be forcibly sent to North Coast Mental Institute for a
20 day
evaluation.

Legal challenges are continuing, including seeking a writ
of
habeas corpus.

When the transcripts are available to the public, they will
show
how outrageous this hearing was.

Kevin Barrett: Media hide truth:
9/11 was inside job
By Kevin Barrett

Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew
an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society
auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history
that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at
the beginning of final exams.

Reynolds, the former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the
National Center for Policy Analysis, and the ex-top economist for
George W. Bush's Labor Department, charged the Bush administration with
gross malfeasance, and proposed the prosecution of top administration
officials.

Normally, if a prestigious UW alumnus and ex-Bush administration
official were to come to the Wisconsin Historical Society to spill the
beans about a Bush administration scandal, it would make the news. The
local TV stations would cover it, and it would merit front page
headlines in The Capital Times and Wisconsin State Journal.

Reynolds' indictment of the administration he worked for was a
stunning, life-changing event for many of those who witnessed it. As
the event's organizer, I have received dozens of e-mails about it from
people who were deeply affected.

Despite the prestigious speaker and venue, and the gravity of the
charges aired, for most Americans indeed most Madisonians the event
never happened. Why? Because it was censored, subjected to a total
media blackout. Not a word in the State Journal. Not a word in The
Capital Times. Not a word on the local TV news. Not a word on local
radio news. And, of course, not a word in the national media.

Why the blackout? Because Reynolds violated the ultimate U.S. media
taboo. He charges the Bush administration with orchestrating the 9/11
attacks as a pretext for launching a preplanned "long war" in the
Middle East, rolling back our civil liberties, and massively increasing
military spending.

When a former Bush administration insider makes such charges, how can
the media ignore them? Is Reynolds a lone crank? Hardly. A long list of
prominent Americans have spoken out for 9/11 truth: Rev. William Sloane
Coffin, Sen. Barbara Boxer, former head of the Star Wars program Col.
Robert Bowman, ex-Reagan administration economics guru Paul Craig
Roberts, progressive Jewish author-activist Rabbi Michael Lerner,
former CIA official Ray McGovern, author-essayist Gore Vidal, and many
other respected names from across the political spectrum have gone on
the record for 9/11 truth.

Are the media ignoring all these people, and dozens more like them,
because there is no evidence to support their charges? Hardly.
Overwhelming evidence, from the obvious air defense stand-down, to the
nonprotection of the president in Florida, to the blatant controlled
demolition of World Trade Center building 7, proves that 9/11 was an
inside job. As noted philosopher-theologian and 9/11 revisionist
historian David Griffin writes: "It is already possible to know, beyond
a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the
World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within
our own government."

A growing list of scientists has lined up behind BYU physicist Steven
Jones and MIT engineer Jeff King in support of Griffin's position, as
evidenced by the growth of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (st911.org) and
Scientific Professionals Investigating 9/11 (physics911.net).

As a Watergate-era graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of
Journalism, I was taught that exposing government lies and corruption
is the supreme duty of the Fourth Estate. I simply cannot fathom the
current situation. I do not understand the 9/11 truth blackout. I wish
someone would explain it to me.

It is time to break the 9/11 truth blackout. Please put pressure on
your local media through letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio,
and phone calls to local and national journalists.

And come see Peter Phillips, director of the media watchdog group

Subject: Restoring Constitutional government in America

I am writing to introduce myself to the group. I am glad to see that
there are so many likeminded American willing to not be deceived and
do there part to take America back from the federal government. I
thought you might be interested in reading The Rise of America.

America is in a colossal struggle for its very soul. If we are going
to win the battle for our civil rights and our religious liberties,
we would be wise to learn from the successful movements of the past.
The American people have always resisted tyranny. The Revolutionary
War, the abolition of slavery and the civil rights movement of the
1960s all show this to be true.
History teaches us that preceding every one these events, where
common everyday citizens felt the need to throw off the chains of
bondage, there were two factors at work. They are:

1. Powerful writings that educated and motivated the people to
throw off the chains of bondage.
2. A groundswell of activism from the grassroots Judeo-Christian
community.

The American colonists were motivated to end the tyranny of Britain
when Thomas Paine published his famous revolutionary pamphlet Common
Sense. Paine's passion for the issue of freedom coupled with a direct
appeal to the colonists did more to motivate the people than anything
else. He is quotes as saying:

"Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its
best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable
one."

Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin created such a
controversy on the issue of slavery that when she was introduced to
President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, he is said to have greeted her
with the words: "So you are the little woman who wrote the book that
started this great war!"

Dr. King's 1963 "Letter from Birmingham Jail" inspired a growing
national civil rights movement.

All three of these writings played essential roles in the granting of
basic God-given civil rights by creating a groundswell of activism
from the Christian community.
I have written the book series The Rise of America to serve as a
teaching guide in order to instruct Americans about the type of
government that we are guaranteed under the Constitution and how that
government has been ripped from the hand of the people and put under
the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
If these are the fundamental truths that our Founding Fathers held to
be true when forming this country, who then is going to teach
Americans that this was the opinion of our Founding Fathers? The High
schools and colleges are not allowed to teach it because of the
fictitious lie of separation of church and state, and the liberal
media refuses to report on it because it conflicts with their anti-
Christian worldview.
If the church in America does not assume the responsibility to teach
these truths to this generation of Americans, then the ideals of our
Founding Fathers may be lost and forgotten forever by the next
generation.
I believe that when the American people find out how the
Constitutional and their civil rights are being violated by a federal
judiciary that never had the legal or constitution right to rule on
these issues to begin with, the outrage will motivate those at the
grassroots level to take action. Again, The key I believe is
Education!
The church takes books like The Purpose Driven Life and we teach them
in our small groups, bible studies and our Sunday schools; but if we
do not teach these truths with just as much dedication and
commitment, our society is going to collapse around the church. The
church cannot fulfill Christ's mandate to be the salt and the light
to a dying society if it only stays within the four wall of the
church.
The time for inaction is over. We must adopt the attitude of William
Jennings Bryan who once said:

"We do not come as aggressors. Our war is not a war of conquest; we
are fighting for the defense of our homes, our families, and
posterity. We have petitioned, and our petitions have been scorned;
we have entreated, and our entreaties have been disregarded; we have
begged, and they have mocked.... We beg no longer; we entreat no
more; we petition no more. We defy them!"

Thank you for your time and God bless!

Subject: Media hide truth: 9/11 was inside job

Kevin Barrett: Media hide truth: 9/11 was inside job

By Kevin Barrett
Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of final exams.
Reynolds, the former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, and the ex-top economist for George W. Bush's Labor Department, charged the Bush administration with gross malfeasance, and proposed the prosecution of top administration officials.
Normally, if a prestigious UW alumnus and ex-Bush administration official were to come to the Wisconsin Historical Society to spill the beans about a Bush administration scandal, it would make the news. The local TV stations would cover it, and it would merit front page headlines in The Capital Times and Wisconsin State Journal.
Reynolds' indictment of the administration he worked for was a stunning, life-changing event for many of those who witnessed it. As the event's organizer, I have received dozens of e-mails about it from people who were deeply affected.
Despite the prestigious speaker and venue, and the gravity of the charges aired, for most Americans indeed most Madisonians the event never happened. Why? Because it was censored, subjected to a total media blackout. Not a word in the State Journal. Not a word in The Capital Times. Not a word on the local TV news. Not a word on local radio news. And, of course, not a word in the national media.
Why the blackout? Because Reynolds violated the ultimate U.S. media taboo. He charges the Bush administration with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks as a pretext for launching a preplanned "long war" in the Middle East, rolling back our civil liberties, and massively increasing military spending.
When a former Bush administration insider makes such charges, how can the media ignore them? Is Reynolds a lone crank? Hardly. A long list of prominent Americans have spoken out for 9/11 truth: Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Sen. Barbara Boxer, former head of the Star Wars program Col. Robert Bowman, ex-Reagan administration economics guru Paul Craig Roberts, progressive Jewish author-activist Rabbi Michael Lerner, former CIA official Ray McGovern, author-essayist Gore Vidal, and many other respected names from across the political spectrum have gone on the record for 9/11 truth.
Are the media ignoring all these people, and dozens more like them, because there is no evidence to support their charges? Hardly. Overwhelming evidence, from the obvious air defense stand-down, to the nonprotection of the president in Florida, to the blatant controlled demolition of World Trade Center building 7, proves that 9/11 was an inside job. As noted philosopher-theologian and 9/11 revisionist historian David Griffin writes: "It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."
A growing list of scientists has lined up behind BYU physicist Steven Jones and MIT engineer Jeff King in support of Griffin's position, as evidenced by the growth of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (st911.org) and Scientific Professionals Investigating 9/11 (physics911.net).
As a Watergate-era graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism, I was taught that exposing government lies and corruption is the supreme duty of the Fourth Estate. I simply cannot fathom the current situation. I do not understand the 9/11 truth blackout. I wish someone would explain it to me.
It is time to break the 9/11 truth blackout. Please put pressure on your local media through letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio, and phone calls to local and national journalists.
And come see Peter Phillips, director of the media watchdog group Project Censored, who will lead a strategy session on breaking the blackout at the upcoming international 9/11 truth conference in Chicago: 9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future, to be held June 2-4 at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Chicago-O'Hare Rosemont. Go to http://911revealingthetruth.org for more information.

Be there, or resign yourself to a future of endless war, lost liberty, and a craven media that cannot bring itself to breathe a single word of truth.

Riba Rambles: Musings of a Mental Magpie
Elisabeth "Lis" Riba is an infovore with an MLS. This is her place to share whatever's on her mind, on topics both personal and political.

Can you hear me now?

By Lis Riba

I've been meaning to write about the latest NSA eavesdropping revelations since I heard about them Thursday morning, but the words just wouldn't come.

I rather like security guru Bruce Schneier's comment:

"The NSA would like to remind everyone to call their mothers this Sunday. They need to calibrate their system."

At any rate, kudos to Gary Farber, who gets major "I told you so" rights for predicting this about five months ago. Peter Daou's essay is also worth reading. And (as usual) Glenn Greenwald is on top of the legal aspects.

Of course, this wasn't the only NSA abuse of power in the week's news. It may have gotten buried by the story of everybody's phone records, but did you hear about this?

The government has abruptly ended its inquiry into the warrantless eavesdropping program because the National Security Agency refused to grant Justice Department lawyers the necessary security clearance to probe the matter.

According to NPR's Morning Edition, a 24-year veteran of the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility calls this unprecedented -- both investigators and subjects are part of the executive branch, meaning this could only have been shut down by someone above.

It all adds up. And I keep seeing more signs of trouble.

Read the story of HUD Secretary Alphonso Jackson's little anecdote, and all kinds of troubling implications emerge. You heard about the OSHA director cracking jokes that workers do the darndest things, totally ignoring any responsibility of employers to provide proper safety equipment. And did you know FEMA is closing its New Orleans office, blaming delays that it caused?

Things overseas look even worse. Put the pieces together:

Think Progress:
Both the House and Senate have separately passed amendments ordering the Bush administration not to use any appropriated funds for the construction of permanent bases in Iraq. Congress's intentions have been crystal clear on this matter.
Via Susie Madrak:
[T]he 104-acre complex, known locally as 'George W's palace', is supposed to be secret, but it is impossible to disguise the cranes dominating the Baghdad skyline
Left I:
The U.S. government/military has been illegally squatting on Cuban soil for more than a century. ...
Iraq's interim government transferred the land to U.S. ownership in October 2004, under an agreement whose terms were not disclosed.
The interim government referred to was, as readers will remember, appointed by the United States, and while it was recognized by the United Nations as being the "sovereign government" of a "sovereign country," that can't really be taken seriously, any more than the Platt Amendment, signed at the point of a gun, by which the U.S. gained control of Guantanamo. Can we expect the U.S. to be occupying this fortress in the heart of Baghdad indefinitely in the future, even in the face of a future hostile Iraqi government? My money's on "yes," which is why they've already designed it for the security and self-sufficiency they had to build into Guantanamo years later.

And scariest of all, two US aircraft carriers are on their way to the coast off Iran, pre-positioning for a June attack. I've read articles that the executive branch theorizes they won't need any declaration of war from Congress if they just bomb from the air and don't actually send new troops. [via The Left Coaster]

How do we stop this? How can we get our country back before more people die?

[This is why I haven't been writing much about politics lately; it's all too depressing.]


Non sequitur to close the week, two other books I discovered today -- one in print, one forthcoming -- to add to my to read list:
