So much for free speech in the nation’s capital and capitol. On July, 11, 2006 I was arrested for offering a citizen’s voice in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing against the nomination of one of the Bush administration’s architects of torture, William Haynes, former Department of Defense General Counsel (chief civilian lawyer) for a life-time appointment to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Can you name the one country on earth where the government can steal elections, strip away basic rights, spy on citizens, and launch wars based on lies, but where the people do not take over the nation’s capital in protest?

29 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsToday will governments talk of democracy, freedom, jobs, and future hope IT IS not these things that are the foundations of our system but the desire to self pleasure and to ignore as much of the issues and problems of others as possible. That is why drug usage and the culture of self absorbtion was planned and executed by the New World Order starting with the advent of advertising (public mind control) combined with the works of psycho-analysis and understanding how to scientifically PUSH (…)

Supporters say, look at the strains of Islam that have adopted to democracy, or at how well the Ottoman Empire treated aliens. Is that the empirical proof democracy stands a snowball’s chance in hell in (…) -
Blair laid bare: the article that may get you arrested
7 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
