VYZYGOTH ON HIS BLOGTALK CENSORSHIP

The question remains: though the “network” has other 911 shows on their site, why was mine singled out?

BTR’s lackey/flak catcher also mentioned a problem with “previous content.” Well, what was the problem there?

I don’t mind at all that I was bounced—I’d only done about 10 shows with them—but my point in this whole affair is that, in a supposedly free society that adheres to English common law, doesn’t someone who is accused have the extended privilege to be confronted with the accusers and/or the charges despite the fact that judgment has already been passed?

Because if we don’t—and I really believe we don’t have privileges or rights—then we live in a nation no different than any fascist/snitch state.

And I contend that we most certainly do live in a nation going malevolently nationalistic by the day.

There is no such thing as free speech.

There is only free speech when it is purchased by corporate money.

But, earlier this year, there was another matter in which I was given a very stark object lesson.

Supposedly “good” people very often, when presented with speech that challenges their belief system, can become “bad” people, mob-mentality people in the blink of an eye.

And, when that happens, they have a tendency—though they run their little piggy mouths about freedoms—to want to cut the legs off of the messenger to silence him.

In the very near future, most certainly before 2009 is long in the tooth, we all will witness behavior we never thought we’d ever see.

For some of us, we will be the ones exhibiting that behavior.

For others, we will be the targets of such.

Despite the pernicious, destructive nature of nationalism, people, when confronted with the most important decisions of their lives, will do anything to survive.

Even if it means giving up their relatives and friends.

That’s just the way it is, baby.
