What to do??

 

What do we do to keep this propaganda from blinding us now and in the future?

 

            1.     Follow the web. There are numerous sites out there with very good info. The blogosphere and independent media on the web is growing daily, and they are all feeding on each other to connect the many dots left by government. If you can, start your own site and encourage others to post their results there. A simple repository of information, links to other sites of information, can be useful.

 

             2.    When you see a mistake in government activity, report it. Hey, maybe you’re wrong. Maybe it ain’t what you think. Let the investigation bear that out. Don’t sit there and let the government ride willy-nilly over our rights. You can report it on message boards, forums, comment sections on blogs, and any of a million other methods. Always give as much detail as possible. Time and place are important. The name of the federal agency is also important.

 

Now on to preventative measures:

 

3.      The most important thing that Americans can do in the future is to NOT VOTE for ..Republicans nor Democrats. I say, throw the bums out. The whole lot of them. They are the scourge of our country, and have been for the past two centuries.

 

4.      Encourage free thinkers. Make space available for people to express their viewpoints. Even if we disagree, we get the word out for others to seize upon.

 

5.      Encourage listening of articles from other countries. The internet is home to nearly every country on Earth. The more Americans familiarize themselves with the news print from those countries as well as our own, the easier it will be for Americans to separate the wheat from the chaff.

 

6.      Reduce the Constitution to its fundamental core, then revise it to meet the requirements of the new millennium. For example, there was no such thing as radio in 1776. But we can still use the First Amendment to identify the need for free speech on radio. Now I’m not talking about corporate controlled, and CIA sanitized free speech, but real free speech. One where I have a right to express my opinion, and have it known as my opinion. The CIA will have a right to say their piece, just as long as they announce it as a CIA-sponsored piece.

 

By initiating the above, we can help prevent future generations from being as blind as we have been, and we can provide them with the tools necessary for the US to commingle with its global partners in the coming years. We don’t need to be ignorant, and if we tell our government that we are tired of it, they will eventually listen. It takes many attempts, and many aborts, but it can happen. And as far as I’m concerned, it is the only way that America can be saved.
