Civil Liberty Under Attack

I'd like to suggest that we compile a list of sourced news articles dealing with every reference to civil liberties being reduced in the wake of this global situation.

I think it's very important to draw peoples attention to any and all attempts to use this situation to reduce peoples freedom and rights. The more information that is circulated regarding this matter, the more chance we have of averting an Orwellian culture being slyly imposed upon us.

I think disinfo can help with that.

Indication of America's swift tilt towards fascism:

I'm no fan of Bill Maher, host of a comedy/political debate show called Politically Incorrect on late night on one of the networks. But he made a comment about how brave a kamikaze pilot needs to be to carry out his mission.

And if you think about it, it's true. Of course, there's that thin line between bravery and stupidity . . .

But anyway, as soon as the words are out of his mouth, the network instantly pulls him off the air. When they come back on, he has to make this big apology for one off-the-cuff comment.

Also making the talk show rounds yesterday: The list of banned songs. Everybody seems to be for it, at least among the Boomers (this is the generation that fought against the Vietnam War, BTW; I guess since it's no longer their collective ass, they don't give a damn anymore).

Funny, when I went to work on 9/11, I was in America. When I came home, I don't know where the fuck I am now.
