"Television is the most powerful communication
medium on the planet. As with people who are elected, there are responsibilities
that go with the trust bestowed on such people and organizations"
I took it upon myself to begin this site just in a personal effort to organize
the daily news in a manner that allowed me to see the actual chronological progression of
events and remarks by leaders, and compare them to the actions that were actually being
taken.
At this point, thousands of people around the country have pledged to work with us on
our current projects, and we will work with them on theirs, to make sure that freedom of
speech and freedom of the press, civil rights, elections... to make certain that we are
not stripped of these, and any voice in our own country that may remain. This is in
less than 2 weeks of sending out the word publicly, with little exposure and no search
engine listings.
Why? Because they understand why this is so important. Soon, there will be
many thousands, and as we move to form a legal Global Democratic Citizens Union (or
whatever name we all decide it should be) to act as a "voice" to the government
and corporations, as well as organize people for ecological and food supply projects
(after demanding our money back from the government)... there are many issues we can solve
legally without governmental permission or cooperation.
The name of this site was based on 2 things: 1) A desire to see a true,
functioning democratic system (has nothing to do with the democratic party) 2) A reaction
to the war mongering and divisive tactics to spread hate and lies about what
fundamentalism means. Americans have been shamefully lied to on this topic to
fulfill political goals... and PROPAGANDA in general is the biggest tool and culprit,
because it is so dishonest and destructive.
I am a registered democrat, solely because I understand the need to be sure that no
single party has a federal tri-fecta, where one party has control of the House and Senate
and Presidency at the same time (that would allow them to pass any legislation they want,
without discussion, AKA, no checks or balances.) I want neither the democrats or
republicans in control. I want an open discussion on the facts, and rational
decisions made for the good of the country, not political expediency. Checks and balances.
Mr. Bush's recent speech to the Corporate leaders merely reaffirmed my concerns at the
lack of concern of this administration for the people.
That said, there are two things I request you read.
They're not too long. But consider them warnings and
inspiration. And make up your own mind. Both are listed at the bottom of
this page.
 How to Generate Public Acceptance of War by Hermann Goering, Hitler's #2
man.
Notice how MSNBC is playing story after story after story about the threat the
United States is under. Let's see if it stops 7/10/2002 The News with Brian
Williams. Read this story, and find out why that's significant.
An
excerpt of the Declaration of Independence, describing reasons for
denouncing King George. There are many similarities to their complaints and the
current administration of George Bush..it's uncanny.
Television is the most powerful communication medium on the planet. As with
people who are elected, there are responsibilities that go with the trust bestowed on such
people and organizations. Think about the implications, the power it gives them to sway
public opinion.
So, that trust has been violated. Time and time again. I think it's
criminal. In many cases, some political activities were illegal, but covered over by
a sympathetic, if not an intimidated, manipulated press. Not hard to understand when you
understand who owns most major media outlets in the U.S..
I do not say these things lightly. And it sounds extreme, but the tactics being
used are straight out of Hitler's playbooks. Read. You'll understand I"m
telling the truth. I truly wish I was wrong, but I'm not.
Propaganda at this level of influence is dangerous and irresponsible, and
should be illegal, just as is subliminal advertising. Propaganda is nothing more than the
overt form of subliminalization. It is on this basis that we will seek to revoke
their broadcast licenses.
So, make up your own mind. Are you one of the thousands of people walking around
saying "Everyone knows Bush stole the election " and then shrugging your
shoulders as if it doesn't matter? Or, are you one of the angry people saying
"Why doesn't somebody do something about it?" We're
doing something about it.
Either way, make up your own mind and do what you think you should do as a
good citizen to empower Americans by empowering America. That's what made this
country great. That's the only thing that will keep it great. The
people. You and me.
Finally, there are times when materials on this site may seem extreme or stuff you wish
you didn't have to think about... I ask that you only understand that when you are
spending most of your time following the events of the entire world, and trying to
understand the patterns, it can be a little daunting... makes ya wanna
scream.. I apologize for the extremes. All I ask is that you understand that I
am doing this to make a contribution... to empower Americans with information so that we
may make informed observations and choices, and not simply acquiesce to the government out
of fear and hopelessness.
Thanks, AND TAKE ACTION!

The Articles I Mentioned Above.
A quote form Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's 2nd in
command, regarding How to Generate Public Acceptance &
Enthusiasm for War
"Why, of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob
on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to
come back to his farm in one piece?"
"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in
England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood."
"But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the
policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a
democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship."
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy."
"All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the
same in any country."
2) excerpt form the Declaration of
Independence - Uncanny similarities between
complaints about King George... and current events. How many of these do you
recognize? (not all of them are similar, of course) Here is
the excerpt..
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and
usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over
these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public
good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so
suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people,
unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a
right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant
from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into
compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his
invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at
large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers
of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose
obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to
encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of
Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for
establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and
the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass
our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our
legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended
Legislation:
