Way Better than TV: Internet Video/Radio News

Since I just lambasted FauxNews (a.k.a. FoxNews) in my previous post, in the interest of fairness I'll give them a tiny bit of credit for their new (Internet-only) program:

Freedom Watch with the Judge:
http://freedomwatchonfox.com/

The "Judge" in this case is Judge Andrew Napolitano, and his guests regularly include Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, & Peter Schiff - among other less-distinguished commentators that you'll have to try hard to endure at times. While I have reservations about anything FauxNews does, at least now that Emperor George II is gone, they've returned to being the so-called "opposition" MSM (the role formally held by CNN during W's reign of terror). And it is telling that they DON'T dare air these patriots' opinions on their TV network - and practically hide it on their website - and from what I've seen I'm guessing the show's budget is less than $100/per episode (bad audio and amatuer-quality production abound - just see for yourself what I mean). So don't get too excited that Faux has come around all of a sudden, but tune in (or catch the replays on YouTube)... This week's simulcast with the Alex Jones show was interesting so be sure to watch it here.

For the new shows, you can watch them live Wednesdays at 1 PM Central Time... Which, by the way, fortunately doesn't conflict with our own William Roberts' new weekday lunch-hour broadcasts of Become Vocal Local!

MIAC / Missouri Police Report UPDATE

The outrage is spreading beyond Missouri and has quickly gone nationwide.

(As well it should! If the garbage in this report is being spoon-fed to Missouri's Officially-Costumed Jack-Booted Thugs, then it is likely reaching every state.)

Here is a link to the PDF of that despicable MIAC report:

A liberty-loving 1st amendment supporter from the Benton County, Arkansas Ron Paul Meetup group created some bumper stickers and t-shirts to help us all express our displeasure...
http://www.zazzle.com/verkmastare



I found this article by Patrick Wood to be exceptionally informative, especially for those who don't understand what "MIAC" is and how dangerous their reports could be...
http://www.rightsidenews.com/200903184047/homeland-security/the-radical-polarization-of-law-enforcement.html

Here's a quote:

"A February 20 report entitled "The Modern Militia Movement" was issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) that paints mainstream patriotic Americans as dangerous threats to law enforcement and to the country.

Operating under the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the MIAC is listed as a Fusion Center that was established in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

Because authenticity of the report was questioned by some, this writer contacted Missouri state Representative Jim Guest (R-King City) who had personally verified that the report had indeed been issued. Rep. Guest is chairman of the Personal Privacy Committee and is a prominent leader in the national blowback against the Real ID Act of 2005 that requires states to issue uniform driver's licenses containing personal biometric data. (See Guest warns against Big Brother, Real ID)

Rep. Guest stated that he was "shocked and outraged" at the report, which clearly paints him and many other elected state leaders, as a potential threats to law enforcement."

...

"According to the National Criminal Intelligence Resource Center (NCIRC), a Fusion Center is "a collaborative effort of two or more agencies that provide resources, expertise, and/or information to the center with the goal of maximizing the ability to detect, prevent, apprehend, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity."

As of 2006, the NCIRC listed 50 Fusion Centers in various states.

Most importantly, the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security are the driving forces behind Fusion Centers..."

I also recommend checking out this discussion:
http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=150491

Which includes...

"I was also repeatedly assured that no officer would profile vehicles with political information on the vehicles or because of profiling; he commented that the officers take the Constitution very seriously and would never encroach on our civil rights. If we ever felt that our rights were encroached upon, to contact the police department in question and let them know and an investigation will be launched.

With all that being said, he wanted me to inform EVERYONE that they have set-up an email account specifically for the MIAC concerns. He asked me to direct everyone to that email and they will look into everyone’s concerns. That email is:
MIACINFO@mshp.dps.mp.gov

(Editor's note: Of course, they may have configured this email inbox to just send form-letter auto-replies, and then promptly direct your email to the Trash... )


And in this article by Paul Joseph Watson:
http://www.infowars.com/missouri-governor-stands-behind-miac-smear-report/

"Both Governor Nixon and the Missouri Information Analysis Center may have acted foolishly in refusing to denounce the report for what it is - a completely inaccurate smear which if anything makes America less safe from terrorists because it identifies as terrorists some of the most patriotic groups one can imagine.

The fact that the document clearly constitutes libel and defamation has not gone unnoticed by Chuck Baldwin, Ron Paul and Bob Barr, who have agreed to pursue legal action if the report is not withdrawn.

The three former presidential candidates have sent a letter to Missouri officials protesting the MIAC report. Appearing on The Alex Jones Show yesterday, Baldwin said that he and his fellow letter signatories will consider legal action if the letter does not result in a repudiation of the MIAC report and its absurd allegations."

Missouri's Campaign For Liberty posted this response, which includes an invitation...

"We would like to invite all law enforcement officials to our Freedom Celebration featuring Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News and Congressman Ron Paul on Friday, March 27th, at 8:00 p.m. at the Millennium Hotel in St. Louis. This event is free and open to the public and will allow officers to experience just how wrong the MIAC report is in its irresponsible profiling of Campaign for Liberty Members."

Even Glenn "controlled opposition" Beck (the Judas Goat) on the corrupt FauxNews has "reported" on it...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,509929,00.html
(Of course, he simply made light of it, joking with far-left-liberal-libertarian Penn Jillette. It was so badly "reported" by Beck that a friend told me he heard Beck's report, and thought it was SATIRE. He was shocked to learn that it was actually true!)


Finally, to sum all this up:

We all need to learn to clearly distinguish our friends from our enemies,
and those that might become our friends from those who never will be.

Missouri State Police Think You and I Are Terrorists

Dammit, they're trying to push us too far...

MISSOURI STATE POLICE THINK YOU AND I ARE TERRORISTS

EXCERPTS:

Thanks to a concerned Missouri state policeman, a nationally syndicated radio talk show host stated that he was alerted last week to a secret Missouri state police report that categorized supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself as "'militia' influenced terrorists." The report, he said, "instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties."

In the meantime, I encourage everyone who believes in the freedom of speech and who believes that the MIAC report is an egregious miscarriage of justice to contact the appropriate Missouri police officials. Here is the contact information:

Very seriously - you need to read the full article. This shows how the enemies of freedom & liberty see us - and it shows how they want the ignorant masses to eventually see us. And whatever you do, do NOT let this intimidate you. That is part of what they want, and we dare not let them succeed.

"...that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
(Can be interpreted two ways: Our way and the wrong way.)

Imagine

Imagine -
By Congressman Ron Paul
March 9, 2009

Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large foreign military base, say Chinese or Russian. Imagine that thousands of armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of “keeping us safe” or “promoting democracy” or “protecting their strategic interests.”

Imagine that they operated outside of US law, and that the Constitution did not apply to them. Imagine that every now and then they made mistakes or acted on bad information and accidentally killed or terrorized innocent Americans, including women and children, most of the time with little to no repercussions or consequences. Imagine that they set up check points on our soil and routinely searched and ransacked entire neighborhoods of homes. Imagine if Americans were fearful of these foreign troops, and overwhelmingly thought America would be better off without their presence.

Imagine if some Americans were so angry about them being in Texas that they actually joined together to fight them off, in defense of our soil and sovereignty, because leadership in government refused or were unable to do so. Imagine that those Americans were labeled terrorists or insurgents for their defensive actions, and routinely killed, or captured and tortured by the foreign troops on our land. Imagine that the occupiers’ attitude was that if they just killed enough Americans, the resistance would stop, but instead, for every American killed, ten more would take up arms against them, resulting in perpetual bloodshed. Imagine if most of the citizens of the foreign land also wanted these troops to return home. Imagine if they elected a leader who promised to bring them home and put an end to this horror.

Imagine if that leader changed his mind once he took office.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment towards us.

According to our own CIA, our meddling in the Middle East was the prime motivation for the horrific attacks on 9/11. But instead of re-evaluating our foreign policy, we have simply escalated it. We had a right to go after those responsible for 9/11, to be sure, but why do so many Americans feel as if we have a right to a military presence in some 160 countries when we wouldn’t stand for even one foreign base on our soil, for any reason? These are not embassies, mind you, these are military installations. The new administration is not materially changing anything about this. Shuffling troops around and playing with semantics does not accomplish the goals of the American people, who simply want our men and women to come home. 50,000 troops left behind in Iraq is not conducive to peace any more than 50,000 Russian soldiers would be in the United States.

Shutting down military bases and ceasing to deal with other nations with threats and violence is not isolationism. It is the opposite. Opening ourselves up to friendship, honest trade and diplomacy is the foreign policy of peace and prosperity. It is the only foreign policy that will not bankrupt us in short order, as our current actions most definitely will. I share the disappointment of the American people in the foreign policy rhetoric coming from the administration. The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome’s did, when all budgetary and monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.

Citizens gathered at Lake Springfield to express their disappointment with a Federal Government that has drifted far from our Founding Father's Principles for Freedom and Liberty.
