Internet Thought Control Bill Under Fire

Internet Thought Control Bill - H.R. 1995

Part 2 (Part 1)

On Monday, Dec. 17, the House Committee on Homeland Security posted this document in response to the many criticisms of House Resolution 1955, The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. Part 1 of this series examined the dangers that this bill posed to citizens and political groups using the Internet.

Based on the bill contents and the witnesses called to elaborate on the supposed problem of "homegrown terrorism," it appears that House bill and the Senate look alike (S.1959) pose a significant threat to political expression and free speech, particularly on the Internet (see Thought Control on the Internet and this collection for more detail).

Thought Control on the Internet

Cracking the Code – Who's to Blame for "Violent Radicalization"?

The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 404 to 6 vote on Oct. 23. Not since the Iraq War Resolution have Democrats and Republicans found such a unifying cause. We're told that House Resolution 1955 (H.R. 1955) will be an essential tool enabling law enforcement to peg the sources of "homegrown terrorism" on the Internet.

Get Used To It

Snip:

Candidates use the Internet to generate buzz, draw grass-roots support and raise record amounts of money. But in the intense, round-the-clock world of online presidential campaigning, the good comes with the bad. Still, Clinton has been the biggest target by far, attacked by the left because of her centrist positions and by the right for her association with President Bill Clinton. Her campaign doesn't directly address the online hostility and points to the $8 million she raised online last quarter.

Peter Daou, her Internet director, wrote in an e-mail: "Our campaign welcomes the diversity of views and vigorous debate that takes place online." But maybe not what Stephen DeMaura, then a senior at American University and now head of the New Hampshire Republican Party, started a month before the anti-Clinton "1984" video. DeMaura, 22, called it "Stop Hillary Clinton: (One Million Strong AGAINST Hillary)," a play on the Facebook group "Barack Obama: (One Million Strong for Barack)," which has 392,000 members.

Since I begun to post in this blogg I remember post this question to every single democratic candidate, not only right here in this PB blogg, I post this question in his / her own web site or blogg, in another’s web sites or blogg, I send an email to every democratic candidate and.......

NO ONE RESPOND THIS INCONVENIENT QUESTION.....!
Why?

Let's write the question!

"In the event you become the party nominee and after this you become the President of the United State of America, are you ready to use your executive privilege to exonerate George W Bush if he get any condemn from any federal court or the International Court for the facts about Iraq or other transgression of the Constitution of the United State of America or the International Law."

No “Barack Obama” answers this question
No “Hillary Clinton” answers this question
No “John Edwards” answers this question
No “Bill Richardson” answers this question
No “Joe Biden” answers this question
No “Christopher Dodd” answers this question
No “Mike Gravel” answers this question
No “Dennis Kucinich” answers this question

I just am wondering if any of these candidates are going to exonerate George W Bush.

What did you think about it Democrats?

This is my second attempt. This is too important to let nit pickies disrupt.

As I was SAYING.......

No wonder Hillaries Democraphics consist of Much OLDER, Low Info Voters or a combination of both. Not only that , how much do you want to bet these are the same folks answering their "land line" ONLY phones taking these polls? It's all making so much sense to me now. So much sense to me now. I knew something was up. I just knew it. It's all coming together. I can see clearly now...dat dat da dat. LOL.

It is our responsibility to make PartyBuilder live up to the potential that Al Gore sees in the Internet as a whole. Ask ourselves, with each blog post, with each interaction, with each group, are we acting to "revitalize the role played by the people in our constitutional framework [by using PartyBuilder for] connecting individuals to one another and to a universe of knowledge [through] the decentralized creation and distribution of ideas."
