New Yorker arrested for broadcasting Hizbollah TV
Bush Inc. doesn't even pretend to respect the constitution. Anyone, at any time, can be designated a terrorist entity under the new Amerikkkan monarchy.
And anyone can have their rights taken away by King George's decree, including the right to free speech described in the link at the top of this post or the right of a citizen to move freely across our borders as described in the story in this embedded link.
I grew up in an America which tolerated dissent. Okay. Not really. There were the shootings of students at Kent and Jackson State, the beatings and fire hosing and phone tapping, the illegal search nd seizure. But compared to Bush and the current jackasses in congress the sixties and seventies seem quite liberal.
After 26 year of right wing, neoliberal abuse, I feel like I've always lived in a totalitarian state run by corporate interests who grant just enough freedom to keep the dazed cow-citizens rumbling toward bloody death in the corporative slaughterhouse.
The so called war on terrorism, a terrorist endeavor in and of itself, is used to justify removal of our civil rights, squash populations around the world who won't cooperate with American colonization of their economies and make us much less safe. The war on terrorism increases the likelihood of a terrorist attack so the fear becomes justified and the public remains complacent while the scum in Washington destroy any semblance of democracy.
The very same war on terrorism used to terrify the general public has enriched those who own the Halliburton, Bechtel, Lockheed, Exxon, Pfizer, etc., by clearing the way for them to operate with out regulation or any kind of accountability while filling their coffers with the dollars of working people who are getting less and less in return for their labor.
These corporations are breaking unions, denying health care, refusing to meet their pension obligations, decimating the environment, outsourcing to India, Taiwan, Honduras etc., while the government they control takes less from them and proportionately more from the middle class in income and property taxes, surcharges, escalating costs for everything and young people as cannon fodder.

We are all slaves to the masters, whether we acknowledge it or not. Freedom is an illusion.
I miss America. But we are a declining civilization; this is our last hoo-haa before China trounces the world. Things will not get better in my life time.
Thanks for the good job you're doing to bring this to the attention of anyone with the sense to read.
