It recently happened... a person is barred from the United States because they might be discussing civil disobedience as part of there presentation. This speaker is John Stewart, a man considered to be the most effective environmental advocate in the United Kingdom. He had his visa revoked, mid flight, while traveling to the United States to speak at a series of environmental symposiums around the country. It seems that when corporate amerika thinks someone may speak truth to their lies, it is in the best interests of our corrupt system to keep that truth from the American people.

Thus is but one more example of how we have lost our freedom and are now but meer pawns of our corporate masters.  This type of oppression will continue till we rise up and destroy those who bind us in chains, be they chains of slavery. oppression, or ignorance. Free thought and the free expression of ideas are the foundation of democracy and when these are taken away, we are just prisoners in this place called the United States..

This article in the New York Times gives a hint as to what the FBI is asking... another case of the government wanting our freedom and using fear as an excuse.  They are planning to push a bill through Congress next year when with a Republican majority in the House, it will probably pass. Most civil liberties groups oppose it because of the potential abuse by hackers and regimes that will crack down on dissidents. Oh, well... 1984 is going to become a reality series....watch for it, because your government will be watching you.
