Color Revolution's Mystery Gunmen


Tony Cartalucci, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Bangkok, Thailand April 24, 2011 - Imagine you are an embattled regime fighting against a rising tide of foreign-funded protesters. The entire world is watching, one nation is already under creeping foreign invasion for "waging war against his own people," your nation has been warned that it is next and has been on a 20 year waiting list for regime change, and your opposition is gathering to bury dead protesters from a recent clash with security forces. What do you do?

Stage concealed snipers in multiple buildings and randomly shoot at mourners ensuring a very public, internationally sensationalized bloodbath that will unequivocally escalate both the protests and international pressure? Bashar al-Assad's regime hasn't ruled Syria for so long because they were careless or foolish. And while regimes could stay in power decades ago through unyielding brutality, often sanctioned by tacitly complicit western partners, regimes today realize the value of finesse and accountability in a new age of humanitarian-justified imperialism.

AlJazeera's article, "'Nine killed' at Syria funeral processions," once again relies solely on eyewitness accounts, many of which are claimed to be "anonymous," to tell the story of a brutal Syrian government crackdown. After AlJazeera's blatant lies and exaggerations during the Egyptian protests, rivaled only by BBC's intellectual dishonesty, these reports must be taken with a grain of salt. However, as with the recent massacres in Yemen and previous funeral processions in Syria, protesters cited mysterious snipers, assumed to be government forces, on rooftops randomly shooting at mourners gathered around the country. The government maintains that "an unknown "armed group" on rooftops shot at protesters and security forces."

AlJazeera also included in the article a report from one of their correspondents on the ground who stated, "[People marching on an overpass] were met with a hail of gunfire, many people certainly wounded directly in front of us, cars turned around, and I can tell you it was an incredibly chaotic scene, and it seems as though pretty much everyone down here in the southern part of the country is now carrying weapons. It is unclear who was firing at whom, that's part of the confusion ... but clearly a very violent incident now being carried out here in the south of the country." Though cryptic, it seems to corroborate the government's assertion that they are not the only ones with guns.

Conclusion

Quite clearly, through this vivid example complete with brazen admissions, we can see how "mystery gunmen" fit into the overall mechanics of a color revolution. Their violence serves two purposes; to create enough chaos and bloodshed to force a government to step down, or to justify escalating anger and violence amongst the unsuspecting regular rank and file protesters. In Syria, we see these mystery gunmen fulfilling just this role. In Thailand, red shirt leaders have warned often that should the government fail to yield to their demands, a guerrilla war might begin. As we have seen in Libya and the Ivory Coast that is the next logical step, with foreign intervention not far behind.

Color revolutions are like micro-nations unto themselves. They have their own leadership, support base, ideology, and finances. Just as a nation's leadership exploits its soldiers as pawns toward personal gain, so too do color revolutions. Just as the soldier is unwittingly sent into harms way, so too are these protesters. Would they suspect their leadership of drawing them into a trap for personal gain? Could these "rights activists" who are on record being funded and directed by foreign interests in Syria be leading their followers into trap after trap to increase the cycle of violence to a crescendo capable of ousting Assad from power? It certainly appears that way. As Bangkok's mystery gunmen have proven, it is certainly not without precedence.

Understanding the components of the globalists' color revolution makes it more difficult for them to foist it upon local populations as well as pass it off throughout international media. At the very least, by understanding how they work, we ensure we never fall prey to this deadly, nefarious gambit. Real solutions don't spring forth from a ballot box, the destruction of our cities, or a protest placard. They are derived through education, self-sufficiency, and pragmatic, technical solutions. People should resist the urge to be politicized and divided and instead focus on building up their local communities on a foundation of economic and political independence. Ultimately by doing this, we can prevent entirely the grotesque spectcles now unfolding from Tunisia to Thailand.

First Crop Circle of April 2011 : Bosschenhoofd, Holland 24th April

After the first 3 crop circles of 2011 appearing in Indonesia earlier this year, the season continues with this one reported shortly after midnight on Easter Sunday, April 24th 2011 near Bosschenhoofd (the "Woodenhead" area), Holland in grass. It's a 24m-long 18-circle formation, the largest circles measuring 3m in diameter, the smallest 0.7m in diameter.





Here's Nancy Talbott's report ...

As has occurred often in the past, the first crop circles of the year in The Netherlands have occurred around Easter. This year Robbert v/d Broeke began having strong intuitions that a formation would soon appear and on Thursday, April 21st, he went out on his motor-bike looking in fields where circles have appeared in the past. He reports that he was thinking about Jesus and the Biblical stories about His resurrection and feeling "very strong" sensations of a loving presence. But he found no circle that night.

On Good Friday he was again sensing a very clear presence, this time of the Catholic friar Saint Francis of Assisi, known by many as the Patron Saint of Animals (and also of the environment). That night Robbert and his mother (who is also highly intuitive) both felt an urgent need to go to the fields together, and Mrs. v/d Broeke decided to bring Robbert's camera with them as they drove to Robbert's "special" field. They found no new crop circle, but Robbert decided to take some photos anyway. At first the photos were all completely normal, but then images of a monk and many images of different small animals began to appear. Robbert is certain that the "energy" he felt while taking these photos was that of St. Francis.

Then on Saturday night, April 23rd, the strong "nervous" energy Robbert has learned to recognize indicates the imminent appearance of a new crop circle began building, becoming so intense that by 11:30pm or so he was forced to call a neighbor, Mrs. Ellen Gomis, to ask if she would drive him to a field near Bosschenhoofd. Arriving shortly after 12:00 midnight with Ellen, Robbert immediately saw a "white energy" (like a white/yellow "aura") over one of the fields and knew that was where the formation would be. As Robbert walked into it he said he immediately felt the "presence" of Saint Francis and got a strong, clear message that "people are not greater than the animals," that we are wrong to think animals do not have feelings similar to our own.

A more detailed report, with additional photos of the crop circle, as well as Robbert's photos of the monk and animals, will be posted on Robbert's BLT "Home" page (http://www.bltresearch.com/robbert.php) as soon as possible.

Medical Marijuana Becoming Blockbuster Drug

Medical marijuana is now a $1.7-billion market in the U.S. This means that sales of medical marijuana rival the annual revenue generated by Viagra, a $1.9-billion business.

What's more, the medical marijuana market is expected to nearly double in the next five years, and that's just in the 15 U.S. states where the drug is legal. If another 20 states pass medical marijuana laws, which projections show is possible, the market could grow to $8.9 billion by 2016.

According to MSNBC:

"The cannabis industry as a whole -- including the underground black market and medical gray market -- generates anywhere from $18 billion to $35.8 billion a year."

In the video "Run From the Cure – the Rick Simpson Story," it's suggested that pharmaceutical companies and big business may be withholding a potential cancer cure -- hemp oil -- from the public in the interest of personal profit.

Sources:

MSNBC March 24, 2011

Cannabis, or as it's more commonly known marijuana, has been used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. It's been heralded as a "cure-all," revered for its healing properties that not only help relieve pain but also have been highlighted as a potential cancer cure.

This natural herb is said to be among the safest medicinal substances known, and there are nearly 25 million Americans who have health conditions that medical marijuana could reportedly treat (and this figure only includes those living in states where its use is currently legal), according to The State of the Medical Marijuana Markets 2011 -- yet fewer than 800,000 are taking part.

If marijuana is, in fact, capable of helping heal millions with very few, to no, side effects, why is this not being shouted from the rooftops?

Political Agendas and Red Tape Make Medical Marijuana a Nightmare

Marijuana was a popular botanical medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries, common in U.S. pharmacies of the time. Yet, in 1970, the herb was declared a Schedule 1 controlled substance, labeling it a drug with a "high potential for abuse" and "no accepted medical use."

Three years later the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was formed to enforce the newly created drug schedules, and the fight against marijuana use began.

The battle that has raged since is a long one, and you can read a brief history of marijuana prohibition in the Huffington Post -- but suffice to say that movements to legalize marijuana have persisted ever since. The most successful to date, and the one that is set to produce the first legal marijuana market in decades, is the medical marijuana movement.

As the State of the Medical Marijuana Markets' executive summary states:

"Since 1996, marijuana proponents have pushed for individual states to recognize marijuana as a treatment for a range of illnesses. New medical research and changing public opinion have propelled these efforts.

Over the past 15 years, led by California, 15 states plus the District of Columbia have adopted laws permitting some form of marijuana consumption or distribution for medical use. These laws have been adopted by public referendums as well as legislation."

Despite its legal status, it was common for the DEA to raid medical marijuana suppliers and even arrest patients, up until 2009 when the U.S. Justice Department essentially told federal prosecutors to lay off Americans producing and using medical marijuana in accordance with state laws.

Now in 2011, the report notes that a national market for medical marijuana is worth $1.7 billion -- and could grow to nearly $9 billion in the next five years. Investors are sitting on the sidelines, just waiting for the regulatory smoke to clear.

Many patients, too, are eager to get their hands on what some are calling the "cancer answer."

Are You Being Kept in the Dark About a Potential Cancer Cure?

If you ask Canadian Rick Simpson, absolutely.

Modern British Royalty: Eugenicists, Nazis and Neo-Feudalists

The upcoming royal Wedding of William Mountbatten-Windsor, heir in waiting to the British throne has the UK media in a frenzy of vomit inducing worship and stomach churning sycophantic fawning. Even the US media is pouring over the royals to such an extent that commentators have pointed out that had the modern day corporate media covered the Revolutionary War, it would have firmly supported the British.

The US fought a bloody war of independence against British control of its government and economy, yet the American media has fast become fascinated with an institution that represents everything America is not. This despite the fact that in a recent poll only 6% of Americans said they were at all interested in the event.

Two billion people are estimated to watch this weekend’s royal wedding. Despite the three war fronts, radioactive meltdown in Japan, the evolving 2012 presidential field and any number of other stories, the media’s collective lens will be turned exclusively on a snobbish pompous ceremony that is costing already extremely strained British taxpayers tens of billions to stage.

While the British government balks at the unfolding events in Syria and elsewhere where protests and demonstrations are being brutally curbed, those wishing to protest the antiquated old world elitist values Britain is still forced to accept as “cultural” under the monarchy will be met with stern resistance and a gargantuan police presence this weekend on the streets of London.

Meanwhile, over 40 monarchs from around the world will take their seats at the wedding, among them the dictators and ambassadors from countries with appalling human rights records such as Swaziland, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe. Though he was invited, the Crown Prince of Bahrain, whose Gulf state has violently suppressed democracy protests in recent months, has respectfully declined, in order to avoid a public relations scandal. The leaders of Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, whose military forces have aided the vicious crackdown will all be there, however. The Libyan Ambassador to Britain had his invitation rescinded when it was recently decided that Libya should be bombed back into the stone age.

In addition, a gaggle of “celebrities” have been invited, blatantly in an attempt to whip up more media hype and place a 21st century context on what is essentially a medieval ceremonial show of power.

As London Independent writer and noted Republican Johann Hari has highlighted, the frenzy surrounding the royal family has “a subtly deforming effect on Britain’s character that the ultimate symbol of our country.”

“Our sovereign, is picked on the most snobbish criteria of all: darling, do you know who his father was? Kids in Britain grow up knowing that we all bow and curtsy in front of a person simply because of their unearned, uninteresting bloodline. This snobbery subtly soaks out through the society, tweaking us to be deferential to unearned and talentless wealth, simply because it’s there.”

The pomp and hype of this occasion is part of a deliberate ongoing social engineering campaign to rebuild celebrity and importance around a parasitic and tyrannical elite that still pulls all the strings on the world stage.

First  Black President Grovels To Virulently Racist Royal Family 020409Queen

This was also emphatically emphasized during the first state visit to London by president Obama in 2009.

Prior to meeting the Queen and her notoriously racist husband, Prince Philip, Obama announced that he “loves” her and that “in the imagination of people throughout America” the queen stands for “decency” and “civility”.

How repugnantly ironic that the first black president of the so called “free world” should refer to the most entrenched prejudiced and elitist institution in Europe as an icon of “civility”!

How disgustingly deplorable that the president should call “decent” a bloodline that has for centuries declared itself as God’s appointed rulers over half of the planet, killing, torturing and maiming anyone who crosses it in order to hold on to that mantle.

This is What a Police State Looks Like...


Philip Brennan | PhilipBrennan.net | 29 April 2011:

Charlie Veitch was arrested on the morning of the 28th of April by Cambridge police, upon the orders of the Metropolitan Police, for the pre-crime of possibly protesting peacefully at the Royal Wedding.

Yesterday morning, Silkie, Charlie Veitch's partner, sent an urgent email to Infowars and other Alternative News web sites / activists:

Hi guys,

My apologies for sending this to multiple emails – this news is important and needs to get out quick, and these are the only Infowars addresses I have.

My boyfriend, Charlie Veitch of the Love Police (UK) was arrested today from our own home on suspicion of a ‘conspiracy to cause a public nuisance’ tomorrow at the Royal Wedding. By nuisance, they mean speaking freely in a public space, which is what Charlie does. He went to the police recently, on his own accord, to discuss how he is entirely non-aggressive and not a threat to them but a friend to them.

If you were wondering if the UK is still a democracy – the answer is evidently no. I have never known so many democratic activists be arrested, not only on suspicion of thought-crime, speech-crime, or political assembly crimes – but now actually these ‘offenses’ as PRE-crime?!

My name is Silkie – I am Charlie’s partner and a student of politics and psychology at The University of Cambridge. I would very much like to get the word out to your listeners/readers.

I’d particularly ask anyone who is similarly outraged by this to call (+44) 845 456 456 4 and ask for the custody block, who will be quite aggresive and rude (as they have been to me), in order to maintain the pressure and demand his release.

A Facebook page has already been created to work towards Charlie Veitch's freedom, and a Twitter hash tag, #freecveitch, is now in use.

As I said in my article yesterday, concerning the dawn raids of several squats around London, those who still refuse to acknowledge that we're now living in a Communitarian Police State are in for a very rude awakening indeed.

Needless to say, as we go further into this Police State tyranny, we shall see more such arrests for pre-crime and the use of FTAC to silence political dissidents, along with even more underhand and tyrannical methods.

The only option left open to us now is to peacefully and lawfully overthrow the entire political system of the United kingdom, before we find ourselves living in a country that resembles the former DDR under the tyranny of the Stasi. The threats to our civil liberties have really become that severe, and the only way to stop our tyrannical government dead in its tracks is its complete overthrow through Lawful Rebellion under Article 61 of the 1215 Magna Carta.

Therefore, I now declare absolute Lawful Rebellion against the tyrannies of the British Government, and will use every power afforded to me under the 1215 Magna Carta, the 1689 Bill of Rights, and the 1700 Act of Settlement to seek its complete and utter overthrow.

Philip of the Family of Brennan. A Free Man on the Land in Lawful Rebellion under Article 61 of the Magna Carta.

...UPDATE! - More Pre-Crime Arrests...

Over a dozen British police officers engaged in a "pre-crime" arrest of a university professor and a street theater group yesterday, in what activists called a "Minority Report"-style crackdown ahead of the royal wedding.

Professor Chris Knight, 68, a former anthropology lecturer at the University of East London, had planned to engage in a bit of street theater with a group of activists that were dressed in medieval garb. According to reports, the group had constructed a fake guillotine and planned to stage a mock execution of Prince Andrew Edward, the queen's second oldest son.

A member of the group who was not arrested told The Guardian that the other two activists police roped in were Camilla Power and Patrick Macroidan.

The police apparently learned of the activists' plans through surveillance methods, then staged the arrest outside Knight's home in south east London last night, before the wedding got underway.

A police spokesman told The Guardian they were arrested on the charge of "suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance and breach of the peace."

The group, Meltdown UK, had been planning a "Zombie Wedding" to mark the royals' festivities.

"RIGHT ROYAL ORGY – RUMPY PUMPY AND GUILLOTINES," their website declared. "[We'll] have a spanking new working guillotine, which shall be surrounded by all manner of rumpy pumpy on the duvet day of all duvet days, by order of the Government of the Dead... Some Cuts Are Necessary! May Royal Heads Roll!"

The group added that their street theater would be a "non-terrorist event."

In video published to YouTube, Professor Knight, who now lectures at the University of Comenius in Slovakia, is seen laying down on the pavement, forcing officers to carry him into their vehicle.

Knight lost his tenure at the University of East London in 2009, after he made statements ahead of the G20 meeting in London that management objected to.

He reportedly told a BBC radio station: "We are going to be hanging a lot of people like Fred the Shred from lampposts on April Fool’s Day and I can only say let’s hope they are just effigies. To be honest, if he winds us up any more I’m afraid there will be real bankers hanging from lampposts and let’s hope that that doesn’t actually have to happen."

Iraq Invasion Revelations: Fueled Again, UK Style


Tell me again—why the invasion of Iraq?

As WhoWhatWhy readers know, we don’t consider this a quaint item of obscure historical interest. We’ve reported on several different angles, including a curious angle involving Bush, Blair, oil in Iraq, and oil in India.

And then there was George W. Bush’s own personal obsession with finding a reason to invade.

Now comes more on the oil angle. The revelations are contained in a new book out next week, Fuel on the Fire, and reported by the UK paper, The Independent.

Plans to exploit Iraq’s oil reserves were discussed by government ministers and the world’s largest oil companies the year before Britain took a leading role in invading Iraq, government documents show.

Graphic: Iraq’s burgeoning oil industry

The papers, revealed here for the first time, raise new questions over Britain’s involvement in the war, which had divided Tony Blair’s cabinet and was voted through only after his claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

The minutes of a series of meetings between ministers and senior oil executives are at odds with the public denials of self-interest from oil companies and Western governments at the time.

…In March 2003, just before Britain went to war, Shell denounced reports that it had held talks with Downing Street about Iraqi oil as “highly inaccurate”. BP denied that it had any “strategic interest” in Iraq, while Tony Blair described “the oil conspiracy theory” as “the most absurd”.

But documents from October and November the previous year paint a very different picture.

Five months before the March 2003 invasion, Baroness Symons, then the Trade Minister, told BP that the Government believed British energy firms should be given a share of Iraq’s enormous oil and gas reserves as a reward for Tony Blair’s military commitment to US plans for regime change.

The papers show that Lady Symons agreed to lobby the Bush administration on BP’s behalf because the oil giant feared it was being “locked out” of deals that Washington was quietly striking with US, French and Russian governments and their energy firms.

Minutes of a meeting with BP, Shell and BG (formerly British Gas) on 31 October 2002 read: “Baroness Symons agreed that it would be difficult to justify British companies losing out in Iraq in that way if the UK had itself been a conspicuous supporter of the US government throughout the crisis.”

Hot Sauce LEAKED!?!


...LISTEN TO FULL EXPLICIT ALBUM HERE...
...DOWNLOAD CLEAN VERSION HERE...

Ch-check it out: Due to some unauthorized rhymin’ and stealin’ (or more accurately, a canny marketing ploy*), the Beastie Boys’ long-awaited Hot Sauce Committee Part Two is now streaming in full here.

The stream is accompanied by a note from the band explaining its appearance a full week in advance of Sauce‘s May 3 street date:

Good people, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, the “clean” version of our new album, The Hot Sauce Committee pt 2 has leaked. So as a hostile and retaliatory measure with great hubris we are making the full explicit aka filthy dirty nasty version available for streaming on our site. We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony. Enjoy Kikoos for life!

Thank you, The Management

And without further ado, EW’s review–also to be found in this Friday’s print edition:

Beastie Boys
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

(Capitol)

In the ’80s and ’90s, hip-hop’s premier party advocates built a cache of seemingly infinite cool. But for the past 10 years, the Beastie Boys have been in limbo, turning out sleepy albums like 2004′s To the 5 Boroughs and dealing with Adam “MCA” Yauch’s cancer diagnosis. The spark of classic joints like 1992′s Check Your Head seemed like it might be gone forever.

Thankfully, Yauch is now in remission, and the group’s eighth album gets back to the business of being, to paraphrase their ’98 classic “Body Movin’,” sweet like a nice bonbon. Although the trio is now collectively 135 years old, the Boys don’t spend Sauce pondering their own mortality. They’re too busy laying down noisy, minimalist funk (the glitchy “OK”), rhyming former NBA star John Salley with Vogue editor André Leon Talley (“Here’s a Little Something for Ya”), and crafting a perfect reggae-kissed summer jam (the Santigold collab “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win”). And in case you forgot, the Boys are happy to remind you that there is a considerable amount of lyrical diesel left in their tank (“I’m running wild like rats in the Taco Bell,” declares Ad-Rock on “Long Burn the Fire”).

The Beasties get a lot out of a little, as most of these tracks are built around little more than 808 drum loops, some guitars, a couple of keyboard effects and a ton of reverb wrapping their voices in a sea of static. First single “Make Some Noise” forces a skronking organ groove to tap dance on some snare drums to groin-friendly effect, while “Say It” is the soundtrack to a robot dance battle.

There are nods to hardcore (the driving “Lee Majors Come Again”) and their sample-heavy work with the Dust Brothers (the chaotic, punchline-heavy “Crazy Ass S—”). Even the usually album-killing lounge-lizard instrumental (which took up the entirety of 2007′s The Mix-Up) sounds fresh and sharp: “Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament” packs a surprisingly potent rhythmic undertow. And whatever the Boys are feeling, it’s apparently contagious; they manage to make Nas sound as engaged as he’s been in years on “Too Many Rappers.”

Hot Sauce is a lot like Daniel Craig’s übercool James Bond—another stripped-down return to a franchise’s best virtues after a decade or so of wandering the desert. It took a little time, but the Boys are back with a license to ill. A–

Assassinate Qaddafi?

Tyrants beware. What goes around might come around.

No one will miss these people: The elite should think carefully
before raising the stakes. Nation-states may retaliate in kind
to threats of assassination and growing, naked aggression.
Tony Cartalucci, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Bangkok, Thailand, April 25, 2011 - Peddling a policy that includes assassinating the leader of a sovereign nation, besieged under blatantly false pretenses, sets a dangerous precedent that may backfire in the faces of the arrogant men calling for it. Lindsey Graham and John McCain, both of the meddling International Republican Institute implicated in funding and fueling the "Arab Spring" to begin with, have called for the assassination of Libya's Qaddafi and members of his inner circle. The London Telegraph also reported that Foreign Secretary William Hague refused to rule out using US drones to assassinate Qaddafi.

With the US now openly admitting to recruiting, training, funding, and equipping armies of "activists" to go back and subvert their nations' governments, and with China and a growing list of other nations pointing the finger for fueling subversion directly at Washington, the global scope of this operation and the meddling hands behind are exposed for the whole world to see. What comes next will be a series of proxy conflicts of increasing violence. It is quite clear that humanitarian concerns are entirely contrived excuses propelling this global campaign along. As this facade of legitimacy crumbles, the imperialist nature of the aggression becomes more overt and we now see what looks more like the opening salvos of World War III than a "wave of democracy" sweeping the world.

Should Syria fall to Western-funded and fueled subversion, Iran will undoubtedly be next. The stakes for Russia and China will be raised still higher, and Iran itself will be backed into a corner it hasn't been in since the brutal and protracted Iran-Iraq War of the 80s. Should the West succeed in assassinating Qaddafi after this regional campaign of naked aggression, they will open the door for similar calls to be made against them by a world awake to their reckless, gluttonous tyranny.

Nation-states could repay the threat in kind

When the violence escalates, do these leaders in America feel confident enough that the people they supposedly lead will come to their aid when calls are made in turn for their heads? Do they really believe the people of America will be galvanized by foreign nations surgically retaliating against these increasingly unpopular figures? Would the world miss or mourn the loss of the bankers, industrialists, geopolitical power brokers or the myriad of other jackals, rats, and cockroaches that hide in the dark of elitist power? Would the average American, many of whom have never heard their names, even make a whimper in protest?

The global elite should tread lightly indeed, for they have created a public who does not see them and will not miss them once they are gone. A skillful nation may decide to leave the feckless buffer of pandering politicians intact, and instead target the corporate-financier oligarchs themselves. These oligarchs may be under the delusion they have nothing to lose, for it is the people that bleed and go bankrupt in their contrived wars, but the reality is that the world has nothing to lose by looking past the battlefields and politics that are bleeding them dry, and into the eyes of the true tormentors of humanity. Russia has already thrown degenerate global elitist Mikhail Khodorkovsky into a Siberian prison, proving that the globalists do have much to lose and are entirely powerless when finally confronted by those who know their game.

Full-spectrum resistance

While it is up to nation-states to decide the execution of force against this now apparent global menace, we as individuals must concentrate on removing and replacing their tentacles in our local communities. From developing our own forms of private currency, to trading and bartering, to growing a simple garden or learning a trade, we can begin eroding the power from which such arrogance is expressed. And while nation-states can use force to swat down these parasites, we the people can begin draining the swamps of ignorance and needy dependence amongst us that have allowed them to flourish for so long.

For decades the global corporate-financier oligarchs have waged full-spectrum war against humanity, the nation-state, the community, the family, and the individual. It is time to face them with full-spectrum resistance.

Schmoogle This! - the Anti-Google Search Engine Index

"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"I believe that all entities, whether government or free-market, need to protect the sanctity of free speech. This is a basic civic responsibility. Those who do not are cowards. Sadly, we live in an era where civic responsibility is disposable, considered a burden instead of a privilege."
-- Frank Salvato, publisher of The New Media Journal

They banned The New Media Journal. They banned MichNews.com. They banned The Jawa Report. Google is on a political and ideological campaign of political correctness that sees them denying access to their service to any website - be it news, opinion or a hybrid of both - that dares to address the subject of radical Islam.

Click here to see the original email from "The Google News Team."

Interesting that the same three articles that got NMJ banned from Google News are still accessible: Article 1, Article 2, Article 3

This sets a dangerous precedent. What will the next subject be that serves as a catalyst for Google to promote their unique brand of corporate censorship? Which website will be the next to have it's Internet presence diminished at the hands of Google's "progressive" ideological agenda? WorldNetDaily? JihadWatch? NewsMax?

It is because of this - and our dedication to American Free Enterprise and the free market - that we have established The Anti-Google Search Engine Index. This index offers an ever-expanding list of search engines, many more comprehensive and many who do not manipulate content based on the ideology of political correctness.

We urge you to switch from using Google as your search engine and try the ones listed below. If you would like to suggest a search engine for inclusion on the list click here.

We may not be able to force Google to stop censoring free speech, but we can affect their bottom line.

Note: Of the above mentioned websites The Jawa Report has been re-instated. The New Media Journal and MichNews have been re-instated in Google's general search index but remain banned from Google News. Attempts to contact Google for a clarification on this matter have been unsuccessful.

Anonymous has therefore decided that your organization should be destroyed. For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind and for our own enjoyment we shall precede to expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Zeitgeist movement and the Venus project in its present form. We recognize you as a serious opponents, and do not expect our campaign to be completed in a short time frame. However, you will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your choice of methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.

You have nowhere to hide because we are everywhere.

you will find no recourse in attack because for each of us that falls, 10 more will take this place. we are cognizant of the many who would decry our methods as parallel to Zeitgeist movement and Venus project. Those who espouse the obvious truth that your organization will use the action of anonymous as a example of persecution of which have so long warned your followers. This is acceptable to anonymous. In fact it is encouraged. we are your SPs


Overtime as we begin to merge our pulse with that of your "Cult", the suppression of your followers will become increasingly difficult to maintain. Believers will become aware, that salvation needn't come at the expense of their lively hood. They will become aware that the stress and the frustration they feel is not do to us but a source much closer to them. yes, we are SPs, But the sum of suppression we could ever muster is eclipsed by that of the RTC.


Knowledge is free.

We are Anonymous.

We are Legion.

We do not forgive.

We do not forget.

Expect us.

A Freeman Gives Notice


Freeman watched. Guelph singer/songwriter Keith Thompson doesn't like being linked with the Freeman on the Land movement. But as a 'free man,' he doesn't believe bylaws, acts and statutes apply to him and other living people. Darren Calabrese/Mercury file photo Source: Mercury file photo

The 46-year-old Guelph singer/songwriter is a free man. He has been since birth. But he said he only “woke up” to that truth — as he and a growing group of like-minded individuals interpret it — about five years ago.

The truth, he said, is that bylaws, acts and statutes don’t apply to living people. It’s why he has written to the City of Guelph, the Guelph Police Service, Guelph MP Frank Valeriote, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the office of the Attorney General and the Governor General of Canada among many other officials and agencies to notify them of this aspect of ‘the truth.’

As a sovereign, he said he is an autonomous being, not controlled by others.

Thompson said he’s among thousands in North America who have realized the ‘truth.’ This is that when their birth was registered, a legal corporation called a ‘person’ was created and they are not this ‘person’ on their birth certificate. So, they are pursuing a remedy, he said. It’s one of the reasons Thompson said he doesn’t want his given and family name joined together.

He insists he only wants to be known publicly as Keith.

Law enforcement agencies assert that Thompson and others of this mindset are part of a global movement called Freeman on the Land. There are no confirmed statistics on how many people are part of it locally or otherwise.

Guelph Police Chief Rob Davis said the movement entered southern Ontario just a few years ago. His police service became aware of it last year, he said, after about 16 people sent it letters notifying them they were Freeman persons and to treat them accordingly.

I recently met Thompson to gain an understanding of what he asserted as the ‘truth.’ We met at the counter of a Tim Hortons in the north end of Guelph. Thompson, his brown hair tied back in a half-ponytail, wearing a blue sweatshirt and jeans, insisted on paying for my tea. He said later that was because he wanted to save me from committing fraud by paying tax on the purchase.

We moved to a table near the eatery’s window and sat down for a nearly three-hour interview. He spoke passionately and quickly — offering long, sweeping and detailed answers to many questions.

The Guelph musician made headlines last September. They came after his appearance in Guelph’s provincial offences court ended up on YouTube. One of his supporters video-recorded the proceedings and posted the video online the same day as the court session. The clip has since been viewed about 78,000 times.

Thompson was in court because of a summons issued over a car parked on his front lawn. The clip showed the justice of the peace calling for a recess in Thompson’s case — and Thompson leaving the courtroom.

“I wanted to clarify a mistake … made by the court,” he said.

He didn’t need to be present, he said.

He said the summons carried the name Keith Thompson — not him, just the legal corporation called a ‘person,’ given that name, he said.

Thompson said people have been trained to act as agents for the corporation. It’s why, he said, people can’t be subjected to fines, be expected to pay taxes, insurance or need driver’s licences.

Last Sept. 30, Thompson didn’t return for a second court appearance. In absentia, Keith Thompson was ordered to pay a $260 parking fine after being found guilty of two offences of illegally parking a car outside a driveway or a legal off-street parking area. The fine remains unpaid.

The court case came to the attention of the Ontario Provincial Police. Last November, Guelph Police Det. Const. Kevin King attended a Hate Crime/Extremism conference hosted by the OPP, where there was a brief discussion on Freeman on the Land, and Thompson was mentioned.

Sgt. Andrew Yorke, team leader with the OPP’s Hate Crimes/Extremism unit, said the provincial police wanted to make law enforcement officials aware of the philosophies of the Freeman on the Land.

“We have to enforce the law consistently,” Yorke said, adding the OPP wanted to ensure officers weren’t caught off guard by the Freeman’s philosophies and would proceed appropriately if they encountered such an individual.

“There have been enough incidents that (officers) have run into people with this philosophy that it warranted discussion,” he said.

Meanwhile, Thompson said he finds it disturbing that he’s being defined as part of a movement — though he’s often a guest on Freeman on the Air at http://freemanontheair.com(external link), broadcasting from Cowichan Valley, B.C.

“There is no movement, just like-minded individuals that have realized the truth,” he said.

Nevertheless, he said, because police have associated him with a movement that concerns them, they have paid special attention to him.

Thompson said on March 24, he picked up his daughter from school and noticed a Guelph Police car following close to his vehicle. He said he has been followed by police at least half a dozen times.

On that day, Thompson said he didn’t think it was safe to stop, so he proceeded through an amber light and was pulled over.

Police Chief Davis said Thompson wasn’t charged, but was given a notice of suspension since his driver’s licence had been suspended.

“He is now officially notified and can’t drive on the roadways,” Davis said.

Davis said his officers are to treat Thompson and any individuals who identifies themselves as Freeman on the Land as they do any citizen. Davis said police have had few interactions with the individuals who sent in notifications.

However, within the notification, Davis said there is a claim of right to possess unregistered, unlicensed firearms, which concerns police. The notice stated the right to possess weapons is for protection of those under the individual’s care and an oath is given not to open fire on another human except as a last resort.

“Who has the right to tell you that you can’t defend your family by any means necessary?” Thompson asked, although he said that by nature he is a peaceful man.

He said he doesn’t carry a gun, but didn’t acknowledge whether he owned or possessed one or more.

“If there are any guns, they would know about it,” he said, when asked to clarify whether he owned or possessed firearms.

Although, Thompson is against the concept of bylaws and statutes, he said people should follow the common law — natural laws we can all agree upon to live together in harmony.

Fining individuals doesn’t always lead to deterrence, he said.

Yorke isn’t aware of violent incidents associated with Freeman persons within Ontario, however he said the police are keeping an eye on the group.

“Time will tell how the Freemen will evolve in Ontario,” he said.

It’s a sort of subject Thompson himself pays attention to, on his weekly radio show Outside the Box, on www.erinradio.ca.(external link)

SOUTH WEST ONE!

ibm d and c pol? (What follows does not pretend to any depth or completeness, but is merely a ‘finger pointing’ at a collection of remarkable facts. These are mere skeletal observations on a topic that is deep, far-reaching and requiring of some study to be understood. It is up to the Reader to make the connections for him or her self – the compiler merely presents the material.)

Selling England by the Pound – The new fascism does not strut into town in jackboots, but rather arrives in a company car and expensive suit. The thatcherite homogenization of officialdom and business is fruiting into a new kind of Britain. It is fascism by stealth and it’s all about the corporations swallowing up the institutions of Democratic society. This gives grave cause for concern. The traditional ‘Separation of Powers’ of Church & State now needs recasting as a separation of powers between State and Corporate Business.

"..we've made it very clear that the merger of State and Corporate powers, by definition, is called Fascism. And what we are seeing is the merger of State and Corporate powers like never before". Gerald Celente, June 2010.

TUBE+ the Future of (File)Sharing

In recent years the file-sharing world has become more diverse than ever before. Torrents, streaming and cyberlockers have all entered the mainstream with millions of users. Tube+ is a newly launched website that brings most of these sharing platforms together. Backed by The Pirate Bay, there is little doubt that this file-sharing platform will not only pique the interest of many Internet users, but that of Hollywood too.

tubeplusHalf a decade ago BitTorrent was the absolute king of media distribution, but this has changed in recent years. Cyberlockers such as Megaupload and Hotfile have become as popular as BitTorrent, and movie streaming services have also gained large audiences.

Tube+ is a newly launched service that combines all the above, and more. In what can be described as a file-sharing hybrid, the site offers the latest movies and TV-shows streamed directly to user’s browser. In addition, Tube+ also offers links to the files on BitTorrent, cyberlockers and eMule.

As far as we know this kind of hybrid approach has never been tried before. Although the site is still quite buggy and doesn’t always suggest the correct links, the fact that it’s being promoted by The Pirate Bay means that it will quickly gather a significant audience.

tubeplus

As users may have noticed, Tube+ is being promoted on The Pirate Bay next to their torrent and magnet links. There appears to be some geographical restrictions, meaning that the Tube+ link is not shown globally, but it is available to the majority.

The Tube+ site itself is not a project of The Pirate Bay people but nonetheless, the prominent ‘plug’ will pique the interest of many curious users. In just a few days the Tube+ Facebook page has quickly swollen to over 10,000 users, who all appear to ‘like’ the site.

tubeplus

Aside from linking to a variety of file-sharing and streaming sources, Tube+ also lists the IMDb ratings for movies and films. In addition, users can search for content based on genre or the year that it was released. According to the reviews on Facebook, these features are liked by many.

With backing from The Pirate Bay, Tube+ is destined to become a big player, that is, if the promotion lasts long enough. The downside from a user perspective is that one has to navigate though a minefield of ads. Aside from a few authorized releases, the site also appears to list unauthorized content. The latter means that Tube+ will not receive a very warm welcome in Hollywood circles.

It is of course needless to say that Tube+, though its ‘partnership’ with The Pirate Bay, already has big target on its back. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the people who run the site either as they recently changed their domain from .com to .me in anticipation of a possible domain seizure. For now at least, the hybrid file-sharing platform is still open to the public.

Don't Turn Your Back on Her! She's Broken the Oath!


Photo: November 2007 – THE spectacle of the queen in a long evening dress and diamond-laden crown holding forth in a plummy monotone about “unclaimed money in dormant bank accounts” and other supposedly urgent legislative topics is unsettling enough. But anyone watching the queen unveil the government’s legislative agenda at the State Opening of Parliament here in Britain last week, where that very scene took place, would have noticed something even more jarring. There was the lord chancellor, Jack Straw — former socialist, former head of the radical National Union of Students — reverting to the old obsequious tradition of walking down the steps of the throne backward away from the queen, so as not to turn his back on her.

By Ron Logan
April 2011

The following is taken from The official website of The British Monarchy:

“Coronation Oath, 2 June 1953

In the Coronation ceremony of 2 June 1953, one of the highlights was when The Queen made her Coronation Oath (taken from the Order of Service for the Coronation).

The Queen having returned to her Chair, (her Majesty having already on Tuesday, the 4th day of November, 1952, in the presence of the two Houses of Parliament, made and signed the Declaration prescribed by Act of Parliament), the Archbishop standing before her shall administer the Coronation Oath, first asking the Queen,

Madam, is your Majesty willing to take the Oath?

And the Queen answering,

I am willing.

The Archbishop shall minister these questions; and The Queen, having a book in her hands, shall answer each question severally as follows:

Archbishop. Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon, and of your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?

Queen. I solemnly promise so to do.

Archbishop. Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?

Queen. I will.

Archbishop. Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?

Queen. All this I promise to do.

Then the Queen arising out of her Chair, supported as before, the Sword of State being carried before her, shall go to the Altar, and make her solemn Oath in the sight of all the people to observe the premisses: laying her right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible (which was before carried in the procession and is now brought from the Altar by the Arch-bishop, and tendered to her as she kneels upon the steps), and saying these words:

The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God.

Then the Queen shall kiss the Book and sign the Oath.

The Queen having thus taken her Oath shall return again to her Chair, and the Bible shall be delivered to the Dean of Westminster.”

[Taken from The official website of The British Monarchy]

http://www.royal.gov.uk/ImagesandBroadcasts/Historic%20speeches%20and%20broadcasts/CoronationOath2June1953.aspx

The ‘British Constitution Group’ makes the following observation concerning the oath taken by Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation ceremony:

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, whose position has been usurped by a corrupt House of Commons and who has been forced into the destruction of her Kingdom and the breaking of her coronation oath, no longer governs us in accordance with our laws and customs, as was the situation when she was elected by the people as our Sovereign and our Head of State.”

http://www.thebcgroup.org.uk/

Above all, Britain’s accession to the European Union Treaty of Lisbon that was signed by the EU member states on 13 December 2007, and entered into force on 1 December 2009, effectively ended Britain’s long history as a sovereign kingdom. The treaty was therefore the largest constitutional change since the signing of Magna Carta and was undertaken without the British people being formally consulted on the matter as had previously been promised by Westminster politicians prior to their election.

Additionally, there is evidence that such politicians misled the British people about the real nature and consequences of The Treaty of Lisbon yet, in spite of pro-treaty propaganda and even without formal consultation, there was widespread misgivings amongst the people who did not freely and openly give their assent to the matter or mandate the body politic to do it on their behalf. The solemn case can be made therefore that the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, was constitutionally and morally bound to withhold her Royal Assent from the treaty and in not withholding that Assent was in breech of her coronation oath. Whether, as alleged by the BCG, she was “forced” to break her oath or not is irrelevant. Given such a serious breech it is therefore the lawful constitutional right of British people to remedy this matter. I believe that remedy is not only the people’s lawful right, it is a DUTY of every self-respecting British national of whatever ethnic or religious background. In such circumstances the British Constitution Group make the following further observations:

“Six British Monarchs have been deposed in one form or another, having been deselected for their failure to maintain the rights and liberties of the People. They were Ethelred, Richard II, Henry VI, Charles I (executed), James II and Edward VIII.

We have a tri-partite government in this country. Parliament, the Judiciary and the Monarchy are intended to provide protections and limits upon each other. One of those limiting powers is Royal Assent. Since Queen Anne. no British Monarch has withheld Royal Assent from an Act of Parliament. Nevertheless it remains there as the exclusive authority of the Monarch, to be used when necessary on behalf of the People. As such, several of our Sovereigns since Anne, especially the present Queen, have broken their Coronation Oath by refusing to withhold Royal Assent from unconstitutional statute. While Government is tri-partite, we the People must recognise our role in demanding our good governance. Remember what John Adams said?

… whether the crown and the people in such a case will not see the necessity of uniting in a remedy.

If we are unhappy with the manner in which we are governed, we have no right to a remedy until we are willing to act in our own defence. We must demand that our Monarch lives by the oath she took. If she does not, we must seek redress elsewhere.”

http://www.thebcgroup.org.uk/content/coronation-oath

The British people, of all ethnic or religious backgrounds have been gravely misled and betrayed, our accumulated constitutional heritage has been abused and our country is increasingly subjected to a diabolical conspiracy by tyrannical “New World Order” international plutocrats intent upon enslaving our children and grandchildren[1]. It is in the overwhelming interest of all of us, including those ‘useful idiots’ duped into assisting this conspiracy, to urgently research matters and take lawful remedy as soon as practicably possible. This is not a matter of the political right or political left, it is a matter of lawful right and wrong. The stakes could not possibly be higher for all of us and for all of our children…

“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” [Edmund Burke, 1770, in 'Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents.'].

BBC, Libya, and Cluster Bombs


Tony Cartalucci, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

Bangkok, Thailand April 16, 2011 - The ink was not even dry on the joint op-ed in New York Times written under the names of Obama, Sarkozy, and Cameron, when justification for their proposed expansion of the conflict was conveniently rolled out for public consumption. Reports by the corporate-financier funded Human Rights Watch immediately followed up calls to expand the mandate in Libya, claiming "cluster bombs" were being used in the city of Misrata.

The Libyan government has denied these allegations stating that, "To use these bombs, the evidence would remain for days and weeks, and we know the international community is coming en masse to our country soon. So we can't do this, we can't do anything that would incriminate us even if we were criminals." With the globalists signaling the desire to expand the war and now overtly stating the operation will not end until Qaddafi is removed, the Libyan government would be foolish indeed to employ "cluster bombs," especially after a series of victories over the rebels without using such weapons.

The BBC, and other corporate-owned media fronts, still maintain that Qaddafi is brutalizing his "own people," even as video and pictures clearly show these "people" are armed rebels, who themselves admit ties to Al Qaeda and a desire to seize the nation by force. And despite wide ethical berths being given to NATO bombings that both the Libyan government and the rebels accuse of killing people on both sides, the same argument of "collateral damage" is purposefully and subjectively used against Libyan military forces.

Of course, the BBC shares responsibility for the unfolding bloodbath taking place in Libya and the ever expanding Western military intervention, having bombarded the public with a deluge of admittedly unverified reports - the very reports used to justify UNSC r.1973 in the first place. When the BBC isn't participating in a propaganda campaign to justify foreign wars of aggression, they are taking money from the US State Department to assist in subversion around the globe. BBC's membership in the Chatham House, a think-tank that represents the collective interests and ambitions of some of the largest corporations and banks on earth, might explain why it lacks any semblance of journalistic integrity and instead doggedly promotes the corporate-financier oligarchy's agenda.

It should come to no one's surprise then that the BBC, in tandem with the corporate-financier front Human Rights Watch, would come up with such convenient stories just in time to bolster the debate over expanded operations in Libya, including the possibility of using ground troops we were told would never set foot on Libyan soil. Additionally, the BBC is warning of a "Massacre in Misrata," with a narrative so over-the-top it leaves impressionable readers almost begging for a NATO troop landing at Misrata's port.

Once again, the global corporate-financier oligarchy has duped the people into another war. Once again petty prejudices and ignorance has been preyed upon, using party lines to manipulate and corral public opinion. Concurrently on the ground in Libya, the West has created a conflict observing the ancient maxim of Sun Tzu, "Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight," ensuring both Qaddafi and the rebels are thrust into a do-or-die scenario guaranteeing the chaos continues until the globalists achieve their goal - nation re-building, seizing oil, central banks, etc.

Finally, we are made to believe our "leadership" is reacting to a fluid situation unfolding on the ground, when in reality they are executing an agenda that has been on the drawing board since at least 1991. Apparently voting for what we were told was the polar-opposite of George Bush and his Neo-Conservative agenda has not worked. We must then look past the puppet politicians and their superficial differences and see the corporate-financier oligarchy behind them, whose agenda transcends and dominates petty politics. We must see them as the problem, and replacing them entirely as the solution.

MAFIAAFire Melts ICE!


David Makarewicz, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

A group of anonymous developers have concocted a clever antidote to Government domain seizures. MAFIAA Fire is a Firefox add-on that automatically redirects a user to a website's alternative domain name if the original domain was seized.

MAFIAA Fire exploits the fact that when a domain is seized, although it appears that the Government has taken control of the entire website, they have really only gained control over the domain name. The Government redirects the domain name to a Government IP address and website rather than the IP address containing the original website. When a user types in a seized domain name, such as rapgodfathers.com (seized last November), their browser is not directed to the original website, it is directed to a site containing the famous DHS/ICE seal.

If a user types in the IP address or an alternative domain name for the site, the website content would still be accessible. The problem is that users don't know the IP address or alternative domain name, they only know the original domain name.

MAFIAA Fire solves that problem by maintaining a list of original domain names, as well as alternative domain names, so users will be directed to the alternative site if the original is seized by the Government. There is virtually nothing the Government can do to stop this because it all happens independent of the Domain Name Server it uses to seize domains. The FAQ for MAFIAA Fire explains:
While it's true that you need DNS to get to the sites, what everyone seems to have forgotten that there is one common piece of software that EVERYONE uses to get to sites (ok, leaving out the maga geeks) : a browser.
We control the redirection _before_ (and this is important) the browser tries to connect to the DNS server. Whatever blocks, notices, threats, etc ICE or anyone else puts up at the DNS level is as worthless as the IFPI/RIAA/MPAA to mankind.

With such acidic language, it is probably wise that the developers of MAFIAA Fire remain anonymous because. They explain that they "would rather not (presently) give out our real names as the RIAA and MPAA have a history of directly intimidating people and their families as well as corrupting law enforcement, judges, politicians etc."

A spokesperson told Torrentfreak that the developers' primary interest is to "reverse governments attempts to censor the Internet." He explained, “Governments around the world are either censoring for the entertainment companies never ending woes, or using that as an excuse to slowly get more control over the internet for their own agendas – and trampling over our rights in the process.”

There has been widespread debate about the Constitutional rights implicated by the seizures. We have concluded that significant First and Fifth Amendment issues arise because by seizing the domain names, the Government is taking private property, and arguably suppressed speech, without prior notice and a hearing. However, if seizure workarounds such as this become widespread, it could slightly impact our analysis of the Constitutionality of future seizures.

Part of the reason we have concluded that the seizures violate the Fifth Amendment is the fact that not only were the website operators not afforded due process through a prior notice and hearing, they were not ensured a meaningful hearing immediately after the seizure. Worse, a post-seizure hearing would have been useless in many cases because the Government had taken an audience from these website operators that it could never give back. Once users were disconnected from these sites because their browser was displaying an intimidating Government seal instead of the websites, those users were unlikely to ever return. However, if enough users begin using software such as MAFIAA Fire, those users will not be permanently driven away and a post-seizure hearing could be more effective.

Although this would slightly color our due process analysis, it is not enough to change the conclusion. There would still be no justification for this private property to be taken by the Government without a prior notice and a hearing. In fact, if most users were able to continue to access the infringing content, there might be even less justification for an immediate seizure.

On the other hand, one of the main reasons that we concluded that the domain name seizures violate the First Amendment was the fact that the seizures place a wedge between the audience and the speech on the websites. If the vast majority of users were still able to access the speech after the seizure, there would be significantly less of a First Amendment problem.
