Don't want to scare anyone
I was at work today so it has taken me sometime to find out what was going on with DU and Air America and all so long story short--If the media is being forced to be "closed mouthed" like they are. Can the Bush Administration shut down air America. (My worse nightmare come true?)


Now also you should realize by now my mind can go on crazy lines of thoughts...

What else can the administration do before Jan 20th? When it is basically proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that voter fraud did happen Again what will happen?

I know I know Marshal Law...Civil War

BUT what I'm wondering is will the Administration try to suppress the truth little by little or will it be full force in your face?

7. Funny you should say that...
A friend of mind is often fond of saying "A country needs a revolution every 200 or so years just to shake things up and America is about due for one.

5. They might be able to control a station based in the U.S., but they can't
control a station that operates on XM or across the border with internet broadcast capability. What AAR should do is take a page out of some highly successful corporations here.. (don't want to mention any names) and register in or put a fake office in the Cayman Islands. It works for tax evasion... why not cencorship evasion??

10. This administration will be working toward controlling the internet ....
just a matter of time till, like China, internet offerings in the USA are limited to the GOP's liking.

12. Uh..... that would come under despotic dictatorship and 99% of Americans
would rather die than put up with any crap of the sort.

14. despotic -- yes
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 11:50 PM by Amigust
"99% rather die that put up with it" - this sheeple population? I doubt they'd really do much about it if they would let two stolen elections in a row actually remain unreversed

imo

6. it's affected me as well
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 07:32 PM by m berst
On another thread someone apologized for correcting people's spelling and grammar, but she said she needed a sense of being able to control something.

In that spirit, it is "martial" not "marshal." Although... federal marshals will no doubt be enforcing martial law, so you may want to marshal your resources and brush up on your martial arts. :-)

on edit - now this is funny.... to correct spelling errors... :-)

8. Hell, they can shut down the Internet whenever they want...
...which is why I bring up the question every few months: Is anybody working on anything like the old FIDONet hop-to-hop network?

If not, perhaps it's time to look into ham radio.

11. Scary but true
Corporate media is still hoping the FCC will allow them to exert more influence over the net ... If "THEY" can't control it, they'll probably find some way to shut it down.
