Free speech - unless you ask the wrong questions

I have had a hard time posting anything on Blogger lately. Seems to take longer and longer for each page to load. Today it was a good 20 minutes between pages. This will get old real fast. But here's some Monday morning entertainment, courtesy of Brasscheck TV.



Brasscheck

A student in the US was dragged out of a
public meeting, tasered and arrested for asking
questions of John Kerry who ran against
Bush in 2004.

Notice how the new media's approach
to the story immediately distracted
viewers from the actual questions the young
man asked.

The AP (Associated Press) went so far
as to report on the comedy routines
this young man had on his personal
web site - but never even mentioned
what it was he asked about at the Kerry
speech...

In case you missed it:

He was asking about election fraud in
Ohio in the 2004 election.

The evidence is clear: Bush lost Ohio
and was given it using fraud, thus he did not
really win the 2004 presidential election.

So why did Kerry let himself be robbed?

Good question - and one you apparently
get tasered, and then ignored, for asking.

Bush's Private Army

No one knows for sure, but it's believed that as much as 40% of the military budget goes to private contractors including private armies.

There are thousands of private mercenaries operating on behalf of the US in Iraq and elsewhere around the world. Nearly 1,000 have been killed in Iraq alone, but their casualties are not counted. Nor has Congress been able to discover exactly how many mercenaries the US employs there.

One of these firms, Blackwater USA, a big supporter of George Bush, is now deploying in the US. They were present in New Orleans after the levee collapses.

I honestly cannot think of anything to say about this wonderful voice, that has not and will not be said over the next few days. I just know that I will be ever thankful that we have all the recordings he made over a long, and fabulous career. I will miss him terribly.
