Canada vows to keep lying on the news illegal. Reason # 1223 to emigrate.

The scariest thing about this Huffington Post article is realizing that, in America, we don't have this law. Up until 1987 we had the Fairness Doctrine, which Reagan abolished that year....WTF? This means American news corporations can legally lie to you and distort the truth to fit their views. Fair and balanced indeed.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Mubarak Resigns!!! Wooooo! Way To Go Egypt!!!!

According to the Associated Press, Mubarak has stepped down and has handed control over to the military after 18 days of protests. His Vice President, Omar Suleiman made the following announcement to the Egyptian people:

The Invisible Hand?

The strings are showing! Rigging elections and deporting people to diseased countries are all in a day's work for the US Government.

*Investigators Failing to Link Manning to Assang! - This is so fantastic. Despite their bluster the US government cannot find any evidence supporting their accusation that Julian Assange induced Private Manning to leak classified docs. 

Give anybody any ideas?

Egypt’s pro-democracy uprising is surging with the addition of striking workers nationwide

 

I look forward to the day when the American people can make a similar statement to our own government. How effective! "We will not go to work! We will not earn money! We will not need money! We will take care of each other! When you are ready to take care of our country with the understanding we expect and demand you act as responsible stewards of our lives and our planet, we will help you and we will do great things!" Does this excite anyone else?

Egyptian People Still Holding Out...

The protests are entering their 3rd week in Egypt, as the people refuse to disband until Mubarak leaves. Rumor has it a hospital in Germany is being considered as a possible exile location.

I call BS!

There is no way you can convince me the US State Dept doesn't know who started the violence in Cairo. Ooo, ooo, ooo, me, me, me, I know! If you need further proof that the US is not only behind Mubarak's government but really nervous right now, just watch them squirm on the television. Everybody looks like they have to take an emergency poo. Walk.Away.

I love this old man!

Viva la Resistance!!!!

Attention World! This is how you help the people in Egypt, you tell the truth! Vodafone has come out to say that the pro-government tweets and texts coming out of Egypt are fake and the company was forced to cooperate and send them out.

"I do find myself getting pretty excited when somebody leans down anywhere near the middle of their car, like they're going for money. That's weird -- you get excited about that."

Grayson Kamm, of 10News in Tampa, FL, goes undercover as a pan handler. He offers a different perspective than the one so often offered here in Denver. I heard about a similar experiment someone did a while back where it was reported that pan handlers made up to $18 an hour in some areas of the city. I have even heard of people seeing someone get dropped of in a car to take over for a pan handler (same sign and all)...like changing shifts.

"No, Mubarak!"

Here is the truth about the motivation of the uprising in Egypt. We must support the Egyptian people, especially today, with thoughts of protection as Mubarak backed thugs have already resorted to violence. Please help to spread the word that the violence is not stemming from those protesting the Mubarak regime, but government oil workers and Mubarak paid thugs.

Don't Believe the Hype

Democracy Now!

Don't believe what MSBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, etc are telling you about the situation in Egypt. This uprising has been  overwhelmingly peaceful on the part of the people, the looting and other violence has been tied back to supporters of Mubarak. There is no worry of "radicals" taking hold of the government, the people have already made it clear they are not on board for that. This is positive change our country must support as a "Leader in Democracy".
