press pens do not exist in free societies, they exist in fascist ones

[reggie the dog]

press pens????

cops beating non violent, unarmed people???? and keeping journalists out?????

if non violent protest is stamped out with violence what are we left with? violent revolt like in Libya?

1. The press should sue in that case because our right to a free press

has been violated.

2. Yep, we are headed (and have been headed) to a very dark place

Dog help us all...

3. If the press gets kicked around enough they might eventually turn on the dogs biting them. Too

many in the press have been note takers than a constructive role in a supposed democracy. And a significant other part of the press, IMO, are part of the corruption.

4. I hope so. nt

5. Road to press pens were paved by "free speech zones" and the press stood by then

and didn't make a whimper, much less a protest. They will say nothing now either. Campaign dollars will begin to flow in soon.

6. "Badges? We don' need no stinkin' badges."

7. And pens are just one step away from no pens at all.

Which is where we really are right now.

8. It's not Freedom, it's not Fascism. It's FREESCISM.

Fascism by definition proudly declares its intent to remove freedom and to concentrate all decision making and expressive power to the Party, the Movement, the Authorities and the Leader. Our "Free" Press and our "Free" Market would explicitly deny that they intend to do this - even as they do it. I call it Freescism - because Free Market Totalitarianism takes too long to pronounce.

10. they do want power in the movement

the movements are the war on terror and the war on drugs, the party and the banks are the keepers of these movements and not to be fucked with

i like free market totalitarianism, but i call it 21st century fascism, they learned last time, the anti fascists won last time aside from spain and greece

then they went into exile, regrouped and figured out how to put in fascism without too much resistance because the illusion of freedom remained. brilliant, in an evil way yes, but fucking brilliant none the less.
