Type of Content: Article Nearly half of Americans (49%) believe that the federal government should regulate the Internet the same way it does radio and television, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national survey. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree, and 16% are undecided. Americans also believe overwhelmingly -- 73% yes to 13% no -- that it should be a crime to harass someone on the Internet. Read »

I'm going to call bullshit propaganda. No way any more than maybe 4% think that. after all how many Americans watch porn on their computer? That's my proof. The percentage of people who watch porn on their computers is the percentage who don't want the Internet regulated. This is another propaganda poll that is trying tell Joe Stupid to jump on the bandwagon because almost everyone thinks so.
First we need to rid America of these bogus polls once and for all!
Don't forget that your perspective on most things is vastly different than that of most people - or we wouldn't be in this mess! Those same people who love internet porn will jump right in line to regulate the internet to "save the children." Don't you know that 1 in 3 million children are kidnapped by child molestors every day because of the internet? If that's not a reason to take away the rights of 200 million adults, I don't know what is.
The horrible reality that we must wake up to here at BTM, if we are to accomplish our goals, is that most Americans WANT more government. Watch an Obama speech - do you think any of those people wildly screaming are going to vote against a bill to "save the children" from the Internet? Watch Lou Dobbs. He's held up on this site as a hero because he's against the NAU (which is great). However, every one of his other positions are for more regulation, more government looting, etc. If he's the dissenting opinion, then that poll may be understated.
I can't know for sure that you are wrong, but my experience talking to average Americans every day is that, for the most part, they love Big Brother. If we're going to win, we are going to have to wake up the American people.

Watching Century of Self is a really challenge to people's perception of reality. I don't believe the claim that Bill Clinton didn't know the techniques he used to get elected were meant to manipulate people, but it's still a good documentary.

Has anyone read any of the Patriot Acts? Has anyone read House Bill #1955? IT passed! I'm sure I'm older than many on this site BUT the current "We the People" is not what the people who wrote the constitution had in mind. (That is my belief).
God, I forgot about this one. Thought crimes. Great. I wrote my congressmen asking them to vote no. Now I'll have to check up on them. THey've been disappointing me pretty consistently.

This is the Senate's version of the thoughtcrime bill. It hasn't come to a vote
yet (as of Friday) so we need to keep the pressure up. Otherwise we'll all be
meeting eachother in the FEMA camps. Go to Congress.org and send 'em an email.
If 90% of the people wanted to ditch the FED it would still never happen. They run
everything. Look at what happened to the Demoncratic mandate to leave Iraq that
got them elected in 2006. That wasn't the Bilderberg policy. Who's stopping
impeachment, not the figureheads Pelosi and Conyers alone. JFK wanted to ditch the
FED and made the fatal mistake of announcing his intentions. Just the worst choice
of an example of a dumb electorate (not) running policy. The electorate determines the
candy coating on the planned NWO policy. What'll it be: fascism and legal firearms
or mandatory health insurance from the big Pharma dominated AMA, codex, and no
alternative health care? The controllers determine the choices: strychnine or arsenic?

It really gives me the creeps how they won't talk about it.
Get some flyers from http://mrxfromplanetx.com/naomi-wolf or come up with your own.
I have handed out flyers to local news papers, people at radio stations, the local branch of the ACLU, and the John Birch Society. Anyone I can find basically, but specifically people who have a large audience.
I also set out flyers in any coffee shop I get close too, and hand the flyers out at public events.
These are still political hacks. The Dem's didn't listen to the people because the people didn't really tell them anything other than "we don't like the Bush administration." If they were all getting 100 letters per day saying "vote this way or you're out," they'd do whatever they had to, even though they didn't like it. I'm sure they'd come up with another scheme, but vigilance can eventually bend them to our will.
I maintain that our government, for the most part, gives us exactly what we ask for. We demand universal healthcare right now - never mind that it's immoral and will make us broke. An article on another thread showed that over 70% of Americans favor regulating the internet - probably because of some "save the children" movement that will end up enslaving us all. The bottom line is, we not only support this stuff (the majority of us), we DEMAND it. And they are happy to give it to us.

Remember him? He stayed in power for so long because he
"had something" on a lot of very important people.
With our numerous alphabet soup spy agencies, it seems
reasonable that someone seeking to have permanent power,
like maybe a former head of the CIA, might have followed
similar strategies. Being able to operate in the kind of secrecy
that characterizes that agency, where everything is on a 'need to
know' basis, as its leader, is a kind of absolute power, which has
that (cliche`) well known corrupting effect. We're getting to the
real purpose of those orgies at Bohemian Grove.
that it is We the People that is the problem? Our government doesn't oppress us, it gives us exactly what we demand. We oppress ourselves.

people are made to think a certain way that is largely dictated by what they're taught through school and media, so you can't really push all the blame on 'ourselves' for this self-imposed oppression. a lot of time and effort goes into keeping people scared and when they're scared (and uninformed) they make silly decisions.
I don't dispute that at all, awesomo. I'm not assigning blame. Whosever fault it is, the problem is still We the People. This website is aptly named. It really is like The Matrix, where people have no idea they are being deceived - or like 1984 (what can you do when you've been taught "Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, etc.?)
My point is that we don't have to worry so much about the government itself as what THe People are asking the government for. If 51% of the people wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve, it would be gone. Politicians will ultimately do whatever we want, if their jobs are on the line.
The problem is they've got us begging for heavier chains.

Through opression we have opressed ourselves. ;)
