Attacked by American Censorship

Commentary

by Housewife4Palestine

Recently I firmly believe and other’s have expressed the same conclusion, that I was being put under attack towards the growing problem of American censorship.

While I do not fall under the guidelines of such censorship, I found it appalling that anyone would attempt to advice me what I can or can not write towards this blog page.

I have never believed in any form of censorship nor yellow journalism but to the contrary, I have always been a stanch advocate of freedom of speech .

The article that was attacked was called, Their Greatest Fear," which is in regards to the NewWorld order alliance between the Zionist and the American’s for global domination.

While this article was hailed as one of the finest editorials to come about towards the true issue facing the world, the woman from Anne’s letter’s and Right to Return Ring of blogs spoke differently. She not only insulted me but appeared to be dictating what I may write about. Like I must have the American media approval to what I write, if she is correct in her association with the American media.

“Anne ,” claims to be Pro-Palestine and have some understanding of Islam, which from the manner she wrote me I not only question her loyalty to the Palestinian cause, but her lack of etiquette within Islam. She came across as more of a Patriotic American sheep then anything else.

I did set out to publish her comments under the article she attacked but better judgment and advice I came to the observation that this kind of derogatory attack did not need to appear unless it was not to discredit me, but show the foolish nature the censorship has taken.

When I asked questions to what this woman had slandered towards me numerous others, beside’s those who are true Pro-Palestinian blogger’s agreed with my assumption.

I came across the following information on the pressured censorship in America since the falsified “War on Terror” is occurring.

Following is some very interesting entries towards the new American censorship:

Introduction

Censorship exists to some extent in all modern countries, including the U.S.A., the U.K., Germany, France, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. However, it is worse in some countries than in others. A government which censors the information available to its people, other than in a state of national emergency (e.g., a sudden attack by a hostile military force) is a government which seeks to keep the people in a state of ignorance, and should not complain if the people have no loyalty to it.

Censorship and the "War on Terrorism"

In response to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon President George W. Bush announced a "war on terrorism" and told the American people that they have to sacrifice their civil liberties in support of his "war", which most people seem willing, sheep-like, to do. A tidal wave of jingoism has engulfed the U.S., and any criticism of the President or the U.S. is deemed "unpatriotic" and is often punished by loss of employment.

But a war requires an identifiable enemy. A war is a war between two or more opposing sides. A "war" in which one side is invisible, such as this "war on terrorism", is a fantasy — a pretext to restrict civil liberties, to impose censorship and to engage in other activities not acceptable in a democratic society in peacetime.

America no longer has a "free press" in the true meaning of the term, for in America one is not free to express criticism of the war or of the Bush regime.

Mary Louise: Operation Mockingbird: CIA Media Manipulation

Personally, I have come to the conclusion that the media is not only influenced by the CIA ..... the media is the CIA. Many Americans think of their supposedly free press as a watchdog on government, mainly because the press itself shamelessly promotes that myth. One of the first tenets for the control of a population is to control all sources of information the population receives and mostly because of the pervasive CIA and Operation Mockingbird, the mainstream American Press is a controlled multi-national corporate/government megaphone. They are up to their eyeballs in dirty deeds and there will never be an end to the corruption that prevails unless the CIA is abolished.
