Incase Anyone does read this thing...
What can we do in the face of disaster? What can we do when the bearers of information are really only harbingers of lies???? Whatever we can to combat the apathy, and misinformation around us! We are on the edge of a turning point... we are at the moment in time when the future is decided? Do we step into a nightmare where we relive dictatorships and fear is our only guiding principle, or do we rebel and overthrow those who wish to stupify and subdue our rights to peace, safety and security??? I was led to an article on digg.com where I read something very disturbing... alone, it would be dismissed! But this isn't the only article I've seen. There have been too many, and the possibilities that come with ignoring it are far more hazarous than what happens if I worry, if I react. So I am blogging in hopes that my post will inform others, and they will then inform others, and eyes will begin to open. Hitler didn't HAVE TO COME TO POWER!!! But nobody stopped him, and for that- countless died or were made to suffer. I don't want to be one who would have let HITLER HAVE that power- I would like to think that I'd have been shot fighting for justice, for what matters!!! SO I hope someone, everyone will start fighting, in whatever way they can. We don't have to sit silently by, while we are abused and ignored. That's only what they want you to believe so you will think that you need them, so they will think you are weaker than them and that fighting will be of no use.
As much as I despise Bush I will refer to something he said after 9/11
"If you stop, the terrorists will win" and he was right. If we stop demanding that our voices be heard, the terrorists, including Bush himself, will win!

Yeah, someone does read this thing. :)
You know - This issue is never far from my mind. I struggle with similar questions also, such as how to get people mobilized or how to get the word out. There is a very fine line in today's America between publicly criticizing our government/politicians and being branded an enemy combatant (and then thrown in prison without stated cause, due process, or legal representation).
Here's my current working philosophy: Be vocal in your own social sphere. Know the details(!!!) and discuss them with anyone who will listen. I can't even begin to count the number of times I have discussed these issues with people, and in nearly every case all parties came away with new information and new understanding. This is essential to counteract the line of BS we are fed constantly by the media machine.
Be careful when it comes to large-scale communication (broadcasts, rallies, political organizations, internet posts, etc.), though, because this can leave you open to retribution if/when this country reaches a point of total, open fascism. One of the most-used tricks in a dictator's bag is the "disappearing" of everyone and anyone identified as a potential threat, once their power base has solidified to a point where they can get away with anything without fear of retribution.
In the end, though - I wonder if anything we do or say right now will even make a difference. The forces of power currently in play have been scheming for decades (if not more than a century), and the structures they already have in place may end up being too entrenched for something as "silly" as a revolution or impeachment to succeed. I know it's not a popular stance, but I think we might have better luck at this point just moving out of the country. Just a thought.
