Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hi All, (THIS WAS SENT FROM A FRIEND WHO'S GROUP I BELONG TO. LYNN) It is with anger and chagrin that I have to report yet another who has faced the unjust thugs of the FBI because they dared to exercise their so-called freedom of speech. How many web sites have been shut down this week? How many more have been censored that we don't know about? We recently saw what they did to the 53 year old woman for merely putting up a sign that said, " Step Down Bush " and the woman who was a lawyer who tried to show her community where some major school funds went (to Bush's political campaign). What happened to her when she also went to the authorities to try and tell them that biowarfare germs were missing from a lab? Both women were sent to a mental ward for forced evaluation and the lawyer now has more trumped up charges on her since she went public with a web site to tell what they did to her the first time around! Now we see below that the FBI didn't like the " text " of this article from this web site and they told the writer to either change the text or go to jail. How do you give the " appearance " in your country that you have no dissenters to your dictatorial rule? You lock them all up and destroy their lives. Welcome to Amerika. I do not know this web site, nor do I care what, or who, they are. This is about a much larger picture here. Once they affectively remove our voice they dismantle our power to reach others who still don't have a clue as to what is going on. Divided we fall. If the mainstream SELL OUT media continues the media black out on these travesties soon none of us will be able to speak, regardless if we have anything to say or not, unless of course our thoughts are first approved through the White House! I have nothing else to say here. Really I don't.... because the whole thing makes me sick. Please edit my commentary out of this and pass it along. People need to wake up and speak out now. While you're at it pass along the tragedy of the lawyers story too because Lord knows she's going to need a lot of people in the public to know what is happening to her. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ Feds Squelch Capitol Hill Blue Originally published Mar 09, 2006 Willysnout tells you what Doug Thompson can't - Thompson and his crew were under surveillance through his site (the aforementioned Capitol Hill Blue), and forced him to change a column they didn't like. Thompson is best known for " The Rant " - a regular online column which has lately been highly critical of the current White House. (He's also been critical of the Clinton White House - Thompson just has it out for authority.) Well, the current authority doesn't like that. The offending article reported that Thompson, who also owns the web hosting company that puts Capitol Hill Blue online, had received a request under the USA Patriot Act from the FBI for information about the publication, its contributors, its personnel and its readers. It was only through his ownership of the hosting company that Thompson was aware of the government's surveillance. The FBI's request instructed Thompson not to reveal who had made the information request or what law had authorized it. Thompson refused to provide the information and revealed the letter and its contents in Capitol Hill Blue. At that point, a U.S. attorney threatened Thompson with jail unless he not only removed the information, but revised the article discussing it. To avoid going to jail, Thompson complied. Think about it, folks. A publication has been not only censored, but forced to submit new content acceptable to the government. And now that the Patriot Act has just been signed to another contract extension, we have more of this to look forward to. Whoops. There's someone at the door. I'll be righ..... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++ Here's the link to the original site in question called Capitol Hill Blue's to see the " edited version " that now appears on their site to avoid going to JAIL. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/blog/2006/03/telling_the_approved_story ..html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
