Blogs, The last frontier in freedom of speech

Sun Jan 22, 2006 at 09:13:46 AM PDT

As I write this there is a powerful force in America. I wouldn't hesitate to say it is more powerful than this corrupt administration. It is the most powerful force in America and it is the blogs! The blogs now run a good portion of the news, CNN, MSNBC and the rest look to the blogs for information. If it weren't for the blogs Bush's corrupt mission would be accomplished by now. We have held them back on many issues!

In the early part of last year I wrote and recorded a song called "Bitten" the lyrics were

"Is it possible that right now our government

and corporations are poised to watch everything we do on the internet?

In the name of terrorism"? I had edited out "child porn" which was the line before "terrorism", because it seemed a little strong. Like so many of you I had seen it coming.

Remember the big scare tactic that came from the right about the U.N wanting control of the internet? We have Murdock buying chunks of the internet starting with myspace.com where he already had a backlash for filtering people.

Recently I read this

News Corp., the fourth-largest media company, is in talks to buy a controlling interest in an Internet search engine as the company seeks to build advertising sales on the Web.

The investment would be in "what we think is a wonderful search engine," News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch, 74, said yesterday on a conference call with analysts after the company announced earnings. Murdoch said the price will be "insignificant'" and declined to identify the business.

As it stands now liberal blogs appear to be light years ahead of the right blogs but it now looks like a chess game and the biggest player is the Bush administration who will stack the courts and attack the internet. The internet is the last frontier of freedom of speech in America. It's a grave threat to Bush, just think about all the facts that have come from the blogs. They hate facts and they will do whatever they can to stop it.

They already have search records from Aol, Yahoo and MSM no surprise there! If you think about it why don't they do their own search and find these sites?  By the time this drags through the courts and bigger news comes along they will have already made several assaults on the net.

I did a search and found this..

Governments of developing nations rely on Western countries to supply them with the necessary technologies of surveillance and control, such as digital wiretapping equipment, deciphering equipment, scanners, bugs, tracking equipment and computer intercept systems. The transfer of surveillance technology from first to third world is now a lucrative sideline for the arms industry. Without the aid of this technology transfer, it is unlikely that non-democratic regimes could impose the current levels of control over Internet activity.

And this

One of the most important trends in recent years is the growth of multinational corporate censors whose agendas are very different from those of governments. It is arguable that in the first decade of the 21st century, corporations will rival governments in threatening Internet freedoms. Some American cable companies seek to turn the Internet into a controlled distribution medium like TV and radio, and are putting in place the necessary technological changes to the Internet's infrastructure to do so. Aggressive protection of corporate intellectual property has result in substantial legal action against users, and a corresponding deterioration in trust across the Internet.

Who are the enemies of freedom?

The blogs are powerful because it is the people! We must fight this issue as hard as we can and give it our all. All ideas are important and should be discussed.

We must fight as hard as we can and them some.
 
In other words, this is a fight for our Bill of Rights; our Constitution!
 
Can we do less than our founders?
 
It is a fight to the political death; either theirs our ours and our country's.
 
If the fascists attack the Web, they will rue the day that they did.
 
That is a promise, not a threat. First amendment and fourth amendment rights have been under attack for a very long time.
 
This had damned well better be where we draw the line and take up the fight in earnest, or there is no doubt that all will be lost and it will take bloodshed to regain it.
