***THIS IS FASCISM***
In lieu of the latest developments regarding media control over what reporters can and can't report, I would like to officially report that we now live in a fascist state.

See below.

3. Let me be the first...
...to wholeheartedly agree with you. We've lived in one for four years now.

Please tell me what I can do to rekindle the flame of democracy in America. I love my country, and it literally causes me physical harm every day that we aren't a democracy. I'm tired of the torture.

5. If any reporters really care about the truth, they ought to at least try
and get the world out about this. For starters, they could post some threads here and tell us their stories about being gagged and muzzled by their superiors.

I'd love to hear from them. It would certainly help the momentum against other people telling us to give up the fight on voter fraud.

6. G-DAMN!
I couldn't agree more, Johnny! This info from Bev explains soooo well WHY we haven't been hearing anything about this, and why the talking heads are all smiling their fake smiles and bobbing their heads and telling the public how WELL it all went (not that I've been watching them--my TV has been off since Wednesday afternoon). :mad: Oh, and not to mention WHY they saved bombing the hell out of Fallujah til NOW. :grr: OMG... I simply cannot find the words to express how farking MAD I am. Of course, I am NOT surprised. I KNEW this was coming. I just didn't expect them to actually do it just YET.

12. They are, but my terminology is more descriptive.
Americans hear "fascist" and they have specific images of Mussolini and (maybe) Hitler. Long ago, far away.

Americans hear "military dictatorship" and they have much more recent and current examples to consider.

I bring this up because a couple months ago, when the Shit Boaters had their long knives out, I actually had a bit of an epiphany. I was driving to work and I started asking myself--are we living in a military dictatorship? Where if you challenge the military in any way you'll be hounded and destroyed?

I love my country, and I still believe in it, but on too many days I truly think that we are more of a military dictatorship than a republic based on representative government. All I can do for now is to try to change that, and hope I have the strength to make a difference.

14. Do you remember the State Department official, unnamed of course,
who said before the invasion of Iraq: "I just tell myself there's been a military coup, and it all makes sense"?

11. A Kleptocracy enabled by a fascist media
and that fascist media is going on 18 years old.
Is history that big a mystery?

13. Internet vulnerable?
The only media that is reporting the truth is on the Internet. Is it possible we could lose this?
