12/26/2002 Entry: "TIME FOR A TRUTH WAR"



TIME FOR A TRUTH WAR
Propagate truth everywhere and anywhere you can
by voxfux


“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State
can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus
becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its
powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal
enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the TRUTH
becomes the greatest ENEMY OF THE STATE.”
— Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels - Hitler's propaganda minister


The criminal, religious, industrialist crusaders who have seized control of the US government have one task above all - The suppression of truth. For only if truth can be successfully obliterated can all their other atrocities proceed. The only force that can get in their way is the multitudinous independent investigative reporting found on the Internet. The only reliable sources for news left in the world today are found on the Internet alone. Nearly all other media has been crushed, infiltrated, bought off or compromised. And without exception, all forms of television based media are total lies - all of them.
And that is why they are attacking the Internet with everything they have - To silence the last hope of untainted truth. So we must buttress and defend the Internet with everything we have and not let them destroy the last vestige of truth about what's really happening. We must amplify the truth, plant the truth in every nook and corner of the universe we can find, present it in every forum and scream it from every rooftop in every city.

We must activate - now.

We must attack them with everything we have. Their principal communications mode is lies and disinformation. Unless we master the art of propaganda and counter their lies, we are dead.

The number one thing that the pigs of the New World Order understand is that only through the isolation, segmentation and division of human beings, all human beings, can they keep their grip on power - their fingers around our necks.


And so we must unite.


Many have contacted me with offers of support and technical assistance. It is very encouraging. I have been in contact with the Electronic Frontier Foundation and will propose to set up a defense fund administered by them.


Our site has been growing rapidly and has a large core group of regular visitors. This must be expanded.


I believe the best way is to get the articles here into as many forums as possible - conservative and liberal, Christian and Muslim, peaceniks and militia, everyone must be exposed to the truth. So propagate.


Furthermore we NEED the help of the hackers. For security and sheer technical knowledge of networked systems there is no other group who has as much knowledge as hackers.


We need liaisons to independently communicate and propagate the ideas from this site to the following groups.
ACLU
NYCLU
EFF
all student groups
all youth groups
All Indymedia sites
the Cypherpunks
all print media
massive letters to the editor campaign
any and all hacker organizations
any and all liberal forums
any and all conservative forums
any and all religious forums
any and all forums period!


But you must be prepared. The pigs are on the attack. They have thousands of low level intelligence agency staffers who scan the Internet with one purpose, to find truths and disrupt and discredit them. So you must be your own propaganda minister. When you publish or post a truth you must expect and pre-empt the inevitable barrage of lies by these paid staffers. Don’t let happen what happened to Indymedia happen to your effort. Indymedia was simply the most exciting and best news source ever. But that was before they were completely infiltrated and neutered by a massive and coordinated effort by US intelligence, to debase and discredit every sensible and intelligent news article on those forums. US intelligence has assigned assets to mount a 24 hour surveillance, disruption and discrediting campaign against all open democratic and liberal forums. Therefore we must do the same. If we do not disrupt them they will win and we will lose. Period.


It’s dirty folks, revolutions and crusades always are. We must learn to act independently and autonomously. We must propagate the truth or humankind will be obliterated. We must cast doubt and discredit EVERY one of their forums the same way they do to our forums. We must infiltrate and pose as hyperconservative jerks and create dissent among their community of hyperconservative jerks just the same way as they do when they infiltrate liberal and decent forums and work to disrupt and discredit us. Join their forums, gain their confidence by appearing to be a like-minded conservative jerk like them, and then when you’ve gained their confidence and they believe that you are one of them, start attacking them.


Here’s an exaggerated example, “I’ve been a loyal conservative for years and I voted for Reagan and Bush Sr. but I am telling you that his kid is the biggest idiot I have ever seen. Just look at this article over at this site www.voxnyc.com” You get the picture. Be creative, be cunning, use every strain of intelligence you have to help fight this historic fight for the safety and well-being of the human race. Get them to fight among themselves. Cause dissent among their ranks. This right now may be the most expedient and important thing we can do to. It’s time to take off the gloves and go bare knuckled with these scumbags. It is a scientific FACT that the more conservative a person is, the less intelligent they are - That is a fact. And so it should be like taking candy from a retarded child.


Keep a record and share some of your victories. I will keep a thread specifically for people to post their victories with these pigs so that we may all share and learn specific techniques to disrupt and discredit their fragile lies. Once people get a taste for the truth they never go back. Let’s give them a taste.

Right on my Brother! Give me liberty or give me death.
Voxfux = victory

Not a bad idea at all. I do have a minor victory i'd like to add aswell. Perhaps its not my victory but...

(please allow me to apologize for mistakes regarding the events for 2 reasons. First, I lack faith in and am at an overabundance of disdain for public school systems. Second, my story of the events comes from my Grandfather who:

was 13 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked. His father was stationed there and so the rest the family lived nearby. (I forgot the name of the area and island he lived at.) According to him, it was the first area to get attacked as it was also on the way to the main Harbor. He even remembers the second bomb that was dropped on a nearby hangar (that may have been on the opposite shore of where he lived). He remembers watching the Japanese planes fly over bombing the two outside hangars, ignoring the center of the three which was empty. He also remembers a Japanese bean sprout farm on the island. After he visited PH a few years ago, he was not suprised to notice the farm directly across from the Hangars had a clear enough view to determine if one would have been empty or not. Also he can remember the planes flying so low he was able to see the pilots.

There is much more that could be added. Currently am in the process of helping him get his story on paper and http.

Anyhow.. On the day of the attacks, all of the machineguns for the planes had been taken down for cleaning. This was inspite the fact that his family was made aware that an attack may be coming. His parents had prepared him and his sisters (one older one younger) for the incoming attack.

He claims they had warnings atleast a week before the event took place. (i've gone to get a general drift of the attack as I had never thought there had been a warning. (problem is, tv, movies, and people on the street all think, act, and play along as if it were a suprise attack.) so far all I can find are debates and ominous articles claiming such but not many that are as certain as my grandfather is. There was atleast enough time for his family to have a plan for when the event took place.

From what he's told me i've got a good idea that PH was a military area that was very aware of what was to come yet no steps were taken to prevent or defend. On top of that, during the week it was made aware, any possible defense against the attacks were disabled.

Alas, there is much that has cropped up in recent years shedding much light on Pearl Harbor and prior warnings. Perhaps in 40 years the dark side of 911 will be revealed but will it be too late?

...now for the victory perhaps.

My Grandfather fears for the future he is not going to live to witness. He no longer owns stock and is being very carefull with his finances now. Not long from now he is going to be getting his prescriptions filled in Canada. I know he does not grasp the big picture and I doubt many if any will. In that regards, he does pay much attention to politics and history. He does not recieve a direct dissected conclusion like the ones Vox delivers. (btw vox, much props) But what I find most uncanney is that he has drawn very like conclusions. That I think is a victory as perhaps in time people will wake up. Unfortunatly, when were pissing through a hole drilled in our colon there isn't going to be much we can do about it.

A warning from a wise man:

-In 30 years you will be flipping burgers for Japanese tourist.-

It's funny you should mention this now. I had a conversation with my brother in law yesterday. He's basically a decent guy, but, over the years has been well in undated to the lies spoonfed by the mainstream media. Still, from time to time things have come up that have gotten him looking, at least to some degree. He still refuses to accept the truth, but some interesting things came out.

The people who own the media are well aware of the doubts being cast upon what they say, to the point where they're airing specials and (supposed) documentaries which attempt to answer the more presssing questions – in other words to gloss the truth over and hope that the questions stop. As I don't watch TV I hadn't been aware of the extent they've been going to to quiet what has to be a most unwelcome (for them) wave of questions. Like most of their "answers" however, these presentations have their fill of holes and gaps, some of which were pointed out (if inadvertently) by my brother in law. And he's spotted some of these gaps for himself. He wasn't about to acknowledge it but it was obvious by the times little light bulbs went off in his eyes that some of the points and questions put his way were hitting home in ways which made too much sense. In this particular instance the biggest obstacles are to get the man to look past the mainstream media and to accept just how cheaply our leaders regard the lives of both himself and the people around him: that will be the hardest part as he's unwilling to believe that they could have so little regard for life.

But, he's looking. The sheer amount of information (however inaccurate and diluted) he let out proves that. He's just looking at the wrong source, but, having known the man for twenty years it's safe to say that'll change. His situation is not much different than with most people. They are looking but right now are looking to mediums they think they know and can trust. That'll change because there are too many conradictions in the official stories, and, at different times people spot them and start asking why. One thing my brother in law refused to believe (at first) was that Pearl Harbour was set up to be attacked, until he heard the strategic data and reasoning listed in the document. Then, despite the need to believe that no American President would ever do that to the people of his Nation one could see his mind doing the proverbial "wait a minute" whether he liked it or not. That happened several times over the course of the evening, as it happens whenever you talk to people who don't want to believe what's going on.

As frustrating as it is to work at getting through thick and hard heads it's worth pushing the truth because people do listen.

One other thing to note is the degree to which the mainstream is trying to discredit the information posted on the internet. They wouldn't be doing that unless they were afraid of it.

I live in NYC, and every day I take the L train as part of my trip to work. At Union Square, almost every day, is a fresh anti-war sticker. I see them and I wonder how effective they are. Nobody else seems to be looking at them, and they're usually gone within a day or two, only to be replaced with a totally different one. I've been tempted to start replacing those small stickers placed by someone else with full on 8.5 by 11 stickers just to get people's attention.

I think you're right, Vox. The groups do need liasons between them. What they also need to do, in my opinion, is set aside whatever minor differences in ideology they have and commit to their common goals. I've seen a lot of sites for groups that say thay "maintain total autonomy" from other groups. It's one thing to work as a series of independent cells, it's another to let your different views keep you from working together. There's so much we can do if we all worked towards the same goal together.

I think there's a lot that needs to be done, and it looks to me that you have very similar ideas to the ones that pop into my head all day.

Unfortunately, I'd like to write a lot more, but I have to go to work. I'll post later.

Keep up the good fight,
Rey.

I feel I have to reiterate this fact:

We Live in a Digital Age. We have Computers with printers and CD burners.

Each one of us has the capacity to print pages of FACTUAL TRUTH to counter the propaganda. This could be done in a coordinated manner. If each one of us were to distribute (or leave around) a daily target of hard-hitting fact sheets (with URLs to relevant websites) then we would ensure that there is no stone unturned in reaching out with the truth.

This should be co-ordinated by the availability of collections of downloadable word documents or HTML pages formatted for printing on a single sheet. These would provide quality layouts and eye-catching formatting, idealy cutting edge layout designs (I'm sure there are designers out there - Even good copy writers).

In short, we live in a time where WE THE PEOPLE have the tools to product very high quality, serious, 'mini' publications that rival the quality of slick propaganda media that we are bombarded with every day. It takes little effort.

TOGETHER, as an active, organic, MASS 'Printing Press' WE have the capacity to provide THOUGHT-PROVOKING facts in a PROFESSIONAL manner AS WELL AS point others to the Truth online, with each Web Address included on the information sheet.

We Should each be dropping such home-printed leaflets on a daily basis, on store shelves, cafe tables, ATMs, Under Car Wiper Arms, Through the cracks of open windows on parked cars, On the seats of busses, in changing rooms of clothes stores, in Supermarket Carts.....Leave an info sheet anywhere you go. Each Day.

Buy Yourself a Sheet Cutter and Print Out 'Micro Sheets' of condensed information that will fit in your back pockets. If you print on two sides of a page, you can probably fit 10 or even 20 double sided 'micro-sheets' with an Eye Catching heading and thought provoking facts, as well as a whole bunch of URLS.

INFORM THE MASSES OF:

-How the Media uses Half-Truths to perpetrate believable Lies.
-How a Free Press is not really 'Free'.
-Various Unreported FACTS of 9-11
-Questionable (in)Actions by the administration or military (stand-downs) on 9-11
-Who controls the government.
-The Federal Reserve IS NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY but a private corporation belonging to international interests with influential control over the US government.
- The MASS FRAUD of the government 'Budget' SCAM that NO ONE TALKS ABOUT known as Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR). Why do NO POLITICIANS EVEN DARE UTTER A WORD ABOUT THIS MASSIVE FRAUD ON THE TAXPAYING PUBLIC. By allowing such FINANCIAL RAPE, both major parties of politics are not serious about serving the interests of the people.
- and loads more THOUGHT PROVOKING FACTS that will make ANY SANE PERSON QUESTION the DECEPTION.

We MUST BE ACTIVE B O T H ONLINE and OFF!

first of all, know THEIR techniques. this is how they do it (use the same on them):

17 techniques of truth suppression
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thought you guys might recognize some of these...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

by DCDave
Strong, credible allegations of high-level criminal activity can bring down a government. When the government lacks an effective, fact-based defense, other techniques must be employed. The success of these techniques depends heavily upon a cooperative, compliant press and a mere token opposition party.

Dummy up. If it's not reported, if it's not news, it didn't happen.

Wax indignant. This is also known as the "How dare you?" gambit.

Characterize the charges as "rumors" or, better yet, "wild rumors." If, in spite of the news blackout, the public is still able to learn about the suspicious facts, it can only be through "rumors." (If they tend to believe the "rumors" it must be because they are simply "paranoid" or "hysterical.")

Knock down straw men. Deal only with the weakest aspects of the weakest charges. Even better, create your own straw men. Make up wild rumors (or plant false stories) and give them lead play when you appear to debunk all the charges, real and fanciful alike.

Call the skeptics names like "conspiracy theorist," "nutcase," "ranter," "kook," "crackpot," and, of course, "rumor monger." Be sure, too, to use heavily loaded verbs and adjectives when characterizing their charges and defending the "more reasonable" government and its defenders. You must then carefully avoid fair and open debate with any of the people you have thus maligned. For insurance, set up your own "skeptics" to shoot down.

Impugn motives. Attempt to marginalize the critics by suggesting strongly that they are not really interested in the truth but are simply pursuing a partisan political agenda or are out to make money (compared to over-compensated adherents to the government line who, presumably, are not).

Invoke authority. Here the controlled press and the sham opposition can be very useful.

Dismiss the charges as "old news."

Come half-clean. This is also known as "confession and avoidance" or "taking the limited hangout route." This way, you create the impression of candor and honesty while you admit only to relatively harmless, less-than-criminal "mistakes." This stratagem often requires the embrace of a fall-back position quite different from the one originally taken. With effective damage control, the fall-back position need only be peddled by stooge skeptics to carefully limited markets.

Characterize the crimes as impossibly complex and the truth as ultimately unknowable.

Reason backward, using the deductive method with a vengeance. With thoroughly rigorous deduction, troublesome evidence is irrelevant. E.g. We have a completely free press. If evidence exists that the Vince Foster "suicide" note was forged, they would have reported it. They haven't reported it so there is no such evidence. Another variation on this theme involves the likelihood of a conspiracy leaker and a press who would report the leak.

Require the skeptics to solve the crime completely. E.g. If Foster was murdered, who did it and why?

Change the subject. This technique includes creating and/or publicizing distractions.

Lightly report incriminating facts, and then make nothing of them. This is sometimes referred to as "bump and run" reporting.

Baldly and brazenly lie. A favorite way of doing this is to attribute the "facts" furnished the public to a plausible-sounding, but anonymous, source.

Expanding further on numbers 4 and 5, have your own stooges "expose" scandals and champion popular causes. Their job is to pre-empt real opponents and to play 99-yard football. A variation is to pay rich people for the job who will pretend to spend their own money.

Flood the Internet with agents. This is the answer to the question, "What could possibly motivate a person to spend hour upon hour on Internet news groups defending the government and/or the press and harassing genuine critics?" Don t the authorities have defenders enough in all the newspapers, magazines, radio, and television? One would think refusing to print critical letters and screening out serious callers or dumping them from radio talk shows would be control enough, but, obviously, it is not.

Lets get busy!Start at the beginning.Raise questions about Sept 11th.Print out leaflets with the facts about the Twin Towers collapse.Hard facts. NORAD failures.The hijackers who are still alive.Steel does not melt at 600°c.The collapse of building 7.Bush read a story about Goats for 20min.Odigo 2hr warning.Mossad spies.etc etc etc.Get this stuff printed and distributed throughout New York for starters.Someone should make a page that can be printed by anyone with a computer and printer and get the ball rolling.Reach a wider audiance with this stuff.
You have to make a co-ordinated effort or it will not work.Get other sites like whatreallyhappened involved or Serendipity or APFN.Get as many people involved as possible.
One could pack a lot of info onto a two page leaflet with all the anomalies and lies and facts about Sept 11th,,even a pic of the Pentagon just after it was struck with caption "spot the Boeing"I do not have the tech to make such a page but I am not short of ideas.

How many average Americans have seen a pic of the Pentagon just after it was supposedly struck by the 757?That would raise questions right away.

I discovered this website recently and though initially I was taken aback by voxfux's "intensity" I went through the material he's provided and linked to.
I had missed the Hinckley/Bush connection so kudos on that one voxfux.
One thing we all agree on is the value of the internet. This is one area where we must be ever vigilant. They will try and shut it down if it suits them. Mirroring is imperative. Backing up data is also a wise plan since some things have a habit of disappearing down the memory hole.
Even if you think a site will be there forever it still pays to save pages in at least a raw html format. I might also suggest that people make their own web sites with a focus on one or more related issues. It's also a good way to save and distribute links to the "good" sites.
One other thing...since the feds are working outside of our constitution and common law heritage it is extremely important to review our history (not just the American branch, but the whole tree that makes up anglo-saxon history. This is not to imply a racist angle, quite the contrary. All of us in North America, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India have as our heritage a legal system built on natural law...NOT grants of privilege by some man-made heirarchy. Knowing our common-law past is essential to legally counter the admiralty/equity/civil process the feds presume to steer you into by assuming a contractual jurisdiction and thereby entirely subverting common-law due process.
I strongly recommend readers to this site for a primer on what I mean;

Well folks, I was in Harvard Square this past weekend and spent some time sitting talking with "peace" proesters. I asked how many passers by yelled insults or threw things and all of them agreed that "everyone" was very supportive, offering thumbs-up, hugs and handshakes all around. The men I spoke with were almost all veterans; Nam, Desert Storm. Being a vet myself we talked aobut how we really do love this country, and most were saddened by how far off course we've come.

I agree with a couple of comments others mentioned about the mainstream press slamming the net and indy press. In my own experiences, opponents scream the loudest when they're confronted by the truth.

Many people I have talked to who are not online, don't own PC's or have access to the internet truly believe that the internet is full of child molesters, drug dealers, scam artists, kiddie porn, commies, satanists and terrorists.

I keep telling them, that this is not the case. yes some of these vermin are online, but there is an unthinkably large volume of really well written and thought provoking writing out there, plus equally mind boggling access to any subject they can think of. I've been on the net since 82 where i was active in a number of newsgroups. I was hooked from the beginning as I saw this huge pool of free information and personal interchange.

I am still waiting for the hammer to come down on the net, and hope it never happens.

On 99% of this site, I find it thought provoking....ohh that's right thinking is a high crime today.

VOX,HELL FUCKIN'YEAH!! Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.Fox news et.all are always asking for input so let us oblige them. They may ignore us but we can put a press on their system.Hell sometimes they screw up and voice a sane persons thought . I know it is hard to watch, but the major national news services(propaganda)are a limited source of reprisal. VOX/Penn in 04!

Whats this? Doing something? No more siting around pinning for a world full of peace and happy thoughts? You cazy hippies are actually going to do something? I think its a good idea. You cats should realy get more oranized. You know set up a "base" like that guy in that cave over in that place. Al something or other, I forget. You should get a list of everyone who reads this site , and break it down into location, and then hook all those people up who are in a hundred miles of each other. Vox mabye you can ask the FBI for their list and get one of your fans with the time and computer savy to do that for you. And then link that list to all the other hippie sites.

And then if you can get all those people to put up or shut up. You might get a small enough army to scare the government enuff to actually have them start aressting enuff people in large numbers that a few people in the suburbs might take notice. Mabye when their "crazy" but otherwise peacful family members get tossed in jail for being "terriosts" they will have to take notice!

VOX COMMENT ANNOTATION: What's the point? The more you keep labeling the thoughtful and intelligent people in this forum "Hippies" the more you sound like a fuckin' out of touch OLD GEEZER. Now I tried to throw some props in your direction when others were less kind to your views so why keep up with the useless and frankly embarrassing "hippy" comments. I have not gotten the impression that anyone here is a, "hippy." That is just way out in left field. Is it because people aren't charging around with their guns locked and loaded that you assume that they must be hippies? I mean really, come off the hippy shit. Hippies ended 30 years ago. Get over it already.

Dear VOX and ALL,

You are forgetting one MOST important asset - that is STUDENT DISSENT.
Students are now bringing down the oppression of Iran's mullahs. Ans students have just the capacity to do it in America - if only we weren't all such CNN-believing sheep...

VOX COMMENT ANNOTATION: Thank you for reminding me of probably the MOST IMPORTANT force - Students. Without a doubt, young people are the KEY to bringing about a decent world.

I have been thinking. I know It is a bad thing.
But this is our problem we do not think now.
We just work like slaves or are broke.
We act like robots or lemmings to the sea.
We as a group seldom question or see the truth.
But this is the program, yes it is. One designed
to destroy us and make us slaves.
When will they pansy ass males see what is going on.
When will people see the government and lawyers just
want to take our money.
When will we find out our Fait money system is made
to enslave us. That the IRS and the Federal Reserve Bank
is just private Bank entities not owed or run by the US Gov.
When will we see our Government as evil and not run by the people.
The crash is now to happen in our economy it has been but off
for years by credit.
Now they say the national debt is 6.5 trillion but not so it
is 17 trillion if you count Medicare and social security.
Plus we have personal Debt add another few trillion more.

The White House spokesperson Ari Fleisher says "one person with a bullet could save us a lot of trouble" . He's a hypocrite. He's always close to Bush, why doesn't he do it?

Posted by charlie @ 12/26/2002 03:24 PM EST


Vox?

I retract the word hippie from my post. I dont understand why you would get hung up on a word. How do you all wished to be referred to? Give me a PC term and Ill use it.

My last post was serious, not a jab at anyone. Hippies are people who sit around and dicuss the ills of society and then do nothing. Your article suggests actually doing somthing serious. I was just suggesting a little more oganization as you seem to have the eyes and ears of a large group of likeminded individuals. So do it . THATS THE POINT.

Im sorry hippies was the only thing you got out of my post.

I was answering the question first asked the people of this form. What to do other than post long and thoughtful articles. And I think having large enough numbers of people getting thrown in jail for having a view that doesnt coincide with what we are told to think, might jolt some people out of thier slumber. THATS THE POINT!. When sombodys aunt, uncle , cousin, brother etc. gets tossed in jail for being a "threat to homeland security". I would think it would have a profound effect on people.

"oh my God, Ithought he was full of shit with his endless rantings about 9/11 and the patriot act, and now hes in jail; for what?"

THATS THE POINT!

Im in my late twenties, I wasnt even around for the flower power. So I really have nothing to get over. Gun ownership is the right of every American. Just because I keep mine cocked and locked doesnt mean i am an advocate of runningaround shooting at people. How silly. Ive looked at the militia sites, and the stero type is true, fat guys in their 40s running around in camo playing war. So ill get over the hippie thing if you get over the gun thing.

If you want to reply to this,try to stick to the point of what i am writing, Not like the last time where you focused on a SINGLE word "hippie" instead of adressing what i was actually writing about. Doing SOMTHING! other then writing about doing somthing,

Respectfully,

Monkeyus

VOX COMMENT ANNOTATION: Go back and read your original post. One single word??? Instead of addressing what you were actually writing about???? Well tell me then, if what you were actually writing was about "DOING SOMETHING" then could you please explain to all of the readers here, why you used the MAJORITY of your words on the "hippy" and useless and not very clever first part of your missive and only delivered to us your precious MAIN POINT as an afterthought at the end with only a few words. Seems to me that if you really want to stress a point and contribute to a dialogue, you would at lease assign more words to your POINT than to your non productive and frankly not very clever scarcasm. Read your post again and see for yourself how important your precious POINT is and where its located and how many words you assigned to it.

Secondly, would you please point out ANYWHERE in my website where I advocate the disarmament of the citizens. you cannot, because I do not advocate that. So would you please stop beating me over the head with this false idea that I am against gun ownership.

And finally I am spending a lot of time answering your posts and I am starting to feel that there might not be any benifit for my effort. I hope I am wrong.

Hi vox--Great idea! Shall juggle bills and get a printer and start putting Truth out in places such as stinky old goat suggested--not sure that focussing on 9/11 most effective unless we make it clear that all those people in the towers and planes died at hands of govt--i think sleepers need to know that their comfort can and will, sooner or later, be affected as most effective way to wake them up.

Also will start accepting invitations to "comment on this article" on massmedia news sites--and start participating in the fine old American tradition of Letters to the Editor.

If we all do this--and Have No Fear, since most genuine posters to this site are probably all on the red list already--then we have a good chance of stopping them. Am meeting more and more people who do not like what is going on, but most have no connection to sources of real news--we can be that connection.

Thanks, vox.

Peace and Freedom, kathleen

PS: I think my defining myself as aging hippie may have contributed to monkeyus' calling this a hippie site (which it obviously is not)--but am not embarrassed at being a hippie--we were naive, true, but i've met others from those days who shared my feeling (remember, no internet then) that something really bad and dark happened to our country when JFK was killed--we were trying to make the world a better place w/what little we knew--i'm just glad i've lived long enough to see this amazing worldwide exchange of the Truth on the internet (though i do wish we could have changed the world, especially for the sake of the children of these times).

We don't need no stinking anonymity. Check out John Hancock's signature on the Declaration of Independence. The Dec is the Supreme Law of the Land. The Constitution and Bill of Rights merely flesh out the Dec. Read it -- it's short. It says it's our DUTY to change the government if it becomes abusive. How hard is that?

We do need to organize, create resistace groups and find out ways to spread the truth to more then just the online community.

I do think that "acting" normal is an extreamly good thing to do. That way if something "happens" then you are "normal".

This is my first post I have really only had my eyes open for the last couple of months now but I can't believe how inorgorant I was. I have been trying to let my friends in on it but they just don't care. I have not given up on them yet. I am also relitively young (17) living at home up here in Canada, and am glad I am not in the states right now, BUT I am still not safe.

What I have changed in my life is that I no longer whatch TV. I do sometimes to keep up aperances. I am now working out, and am going to learn other skills such at lockpicking, shooting, archery ect.Better have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

I am thinking about starting up a group that would help me resist "they", so far I have 2 others but it is still rather shaky.

Anyway I got a little off track, but that is my story and it is only just the begining.

After I have known some of the truth I don't find this stuff that surprising, what I find surpising is that literaly NOBODY is trying to stop it. Keep up your site and I will keep coming back.

Open letter to visitors of this site.

Regarding the replies to my previous posts. In my attempt to help you help yourselves after there was another post for the type of help you needed I was attacked by Mr Vox. Since I had contacted others who post to this site (not Mr. Vox) and recieved no response I made the post assumption you did not reply because of your fear of the system. I apologize if I offended you. But look at the arguments and tactics of the system. I (not being offended) posted an alternative that is viable to helping your cause knowing those alternatives to be effective because of the degree of damage done to the system by organizations to whom I reffered you. I did not post names of organizations that are obscure or not easilly verified. These organizations use the very tactics I was suggesting to you and they are still free meaning not sitting in prison. That's my proof. The ones who did get busted and ended up residence of the fed were done so because of their own lack of discretion in discussing what they had or were planning to do. I didn't suggest you do anything with me for me or exclusive to me. You are the master of your own mind or actions. That was my position. Now lets look at Mr. Vox's. He cast doubt about the effectiveness of the measures I suggested without any basis in fact. Furthermore his proof of the ineffectiveness of the alternatives I suggested to you was to do nothing more than offer speculative attacks against resources such as anonimous servers (which anyone with half a techinical mind can learn to establish)being prtals of the fed and otherwise spew slander and profanity at me and those willing to act against tyranny in this system. His claim that anonomous servers was backed up with zero substancial proof other than slander and profanity. Put up or shut up. My proof can be verified in many manners. His can only be verified in the local bars and flop houses if you use his language as an indicator of his authenticity.

Furthermore it has always been the goal of the gov. to bring in to doubt methods that are effective against them which is exactly what Mr. Vox tried to do with his response to me. Instead of letting every man investigate the validity of my claims he instantly attacked them and me in his thirst for being the center of attention. I care for none of your attention. I only care for this country. So above all I would like to apoligize for any feelings I may have hurt and implore everyone here who wants to do something and not be ruined by the system to check out these things for yourself. Don't take either of our words for it.

To Mr. Cook,

I have read the declaration of independance as well as the bill of rights, the constitution, the federalist papers and many, many other documents concerning our country. You stated The signatures of the parties on the declaration of independance as proof you don't need to have discretion when opposing the system. I say to you that immediatly after sending the delegates to the thirteen colonies out with the declaration to their respective territories the framers immediatly went into hiding. Is that to say they stopped working towards independence. No. They worked behind the scenes attacking the then British systems from within a network set up on the run during a very trying time for our country.

Their are people now with the foresight to see that those times are soon to return and are establishing a way for dissidents to escape an oppressive system and still be effective. Sitting in a jail cell in perpetuity or waitng on the death sentance handed down to you by an oppresive regime is not being effective. And will change nothing. Hard hard can it be. Ask any of the political activist who sit in a cell somewhere still waiting on their chance to act again. Ask those enemy combatiants in guantonamoe. They could tell you how hard it is. You only get one chance.

Please. I meant no harm but I won't be pushed around by a loud mouth like Vox when I put my life and the future lives and welfare of my wife and eight children on the line daily.

Peace

Vox,

Your absoluty right, this excange has not been benifical.

We are back to dicussing my post(s); nuber of words used to express my point; not so clever sarcasm? (there was none intended); how to contribute to a dialouge. None of these things are what I was asking about. If you want to try it again, and I suggest you do. People can see your tatic of avoiding the thrust of my comments by bickering non issuses. (vox the lawyer??)

First of all vox is busy. Second of all don't tell him what to do or ask him to start hanging labels on this or that comment of yours.

non issue? I never said this site or any post or articles herein advocated the diarmament of the American people, I only mentioned it as you were making reference to my previous post where I used the word "locked and loaded". This is a non issue, doesnt matter, I dont care about it. But obvioulsy one setence is "beating you over the head with it" Take your time and read out loud what I said.

Lets try bullet points, I make a statement, you respond

Who's making the statement here and who's responding. Looks like vox is making the statements here, and you my friend are the one responding, (Unless you'd loike to point me to a url of some of your writings on civil liberties or revolution) YOU ought to take YOUR time and read out loud what vox wrote.

1)You have a lot of readers, fans, why dont you organize them, or connect them to each other. If you really want a "truth war". Do somthing. Action, not ideas.

You wrote, "Do something. Action not ideas"... Is that your motto? "I'm Monkey Man - Action NOT Ideas"
We're working on it there, monkey man... did you mention something about sending in cash?

2) Why dont you find a way to organize your readers, the ones that actually care, the ones that post all the time and say "hell yeah lets go" Why not use this resource you have to fight a "truth war" ,instead of talking about what could be done

Like I said, We're working on it.

We'll that's all for now, hope ya enjoyed, see ya soon...

Truth? People in this country (the majority) ignore the truth. They could find it any time that they want. It is out on the Internet, in books, magazines, and video tape. Never before has it been so easy to be your own "editor". You can pull in all of the different opinions and form your own conclusion. No longer do you need an editor at a "major news source" to do it for you.

The problem in this country is our schooling. From day one we have been told that we are free and our government is looking out for us. That because we are free and we have a free press, we can trust what they say. No one needs to lie here. We are the greatest country on Earth... and on... and on...

The amazing part is that this is the same Nationalist stuff that the totalitarian states tell their people. Read "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". Hitler used practically every tactic presnetly being used by our government. I saw all the flags after 9/11 and all I could think of was Nuremburg.

Nothing will change here until we become less comfortable. This means a real fear of death whenever we go outside the door (like in DC a few months back -- like in Sarajevo a few years ago -- like in so many Middle Eastern countries today.) Not until freedom for the average person is taken will any action arise. In the times of Vietnam, teenagers went over and came back in body bags. Talk about surrender of freedom. No one could explain why. The war was “lost” because of it.
I was in Poland in the 1980’s. Things were tough. People didn’t have the promised “good life” they were told about every day by propaganda. What was on the screen didn’t match what was out their window. A simple shipbuilder, Lech Wa³esa rallied workers to ask for more. The result was clampdown. People had no food (a train full of food headed north to the USSR was welded to the rails when workers found about it’s contents.) They shut off the light because of “lack of energy” (Poland is a major coal producer.) The goal was to make the people miserable. Make them spend more time looking for food and they will spend less time “organizing”. We know how that turned out. It only made the people organize more.
On the tram window in Warsaw there was a piece of scotch tape with a piece of paper on it that said Solidarnosz (Solidarity – the workers movement). It was tiny. But it was in your face as you got off the back of the tram. That was all it took. Tiny reminders to “struggle on” – but only *because there was* a struggle.
There is no struggle here. If Bush and his rich oil friends secure the Middle East and get us a guaranteed supply of oil, there will be no struggle. The “ultra rich and connected” will have won. The majority of the world will live in ignorant bliss, wondering where “our stuff” is. The amount of “our stuff” will get smaller and smaller.

Don’t believe me? It is already happening. Here it will take a bit longer.

The industrialized countries, which accounted for 40 percent of the world’s population after World War II now account for only 20 percent, though they earn 85 percent of the world’s income. In coming decades, the industrialized world is expected to make up only 12 to 15 percent of the planetary population[1], as 90 to 95 percent of all births take place in the poorest countries. The fact that this is happening at a time when income and life expectancy rates are moving up illustrates just how uneven this material growth has been, and how what is really growing is the disparity between rich and poor[2].

Never before – not at the time of various democratic revolutions in Central Europe in 1848 or at the conclusion of World War I – has wealth disparity been so great as after the Cold War. And never before, because of the global communications revolution, has this disparity been so visible. The human race is like an awkward adolescent whose political and social mechanisms are not keeping up with his physical growth.
