This the fourth time in about two years ever-fascist Comcast has imposed its jack-booted censorship; I am protesting of course, but past experience indicates it will take Comcast at least a week to lift their embargo, though given the Robber Court's ruling U.S. Internet servers are beyond all governmental authority (and thus exempt from the requirements of the Constitution), the outcome remains unknown. Once again we see the Big Lie of Internet freedom: the fact we can be silenced -- forever -- by the mere flick of a switch. <br /><br />Loren BlissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937817.post-16136171973516256382011-05-01T22:54:02.181-04:002011-05-01T22:54:02.181-04:00Just found my way here through Common Dreams, my f...Just found my way here through Common Dreams, my favorite (and continually depressing)source for fairly trustworthy news. I second all that has been said here in the comments, no need to repeat. Clear, unique and tragically very true - thank you! Nowe lets find a way OUT and FORWARD. Keep up the good work!PETERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892107520714790998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937817.post-2570548746411861702011-05-01T19:48:41.936-04:002011-05-01T19:48:41.936-04:00Great post.

Above all else, guard against being silenced. The Ruling Class is far more powerful -- and far more diabolically cunning -- than most of us dare admit. Remember too the dictum of a certain Lev Bronstein: "In every gathering of three (self-proclaimed) revolutionaries, there is at least one agent of the Okhrana." <br /><br />--Loren BlissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937817.post-34273861724626068822011-05-01T14:36:56.648-04:002011-05-01T14:36:56.648-04:00I saw your post through Common Dreams.

We should all be working less in societies that are so rich. But indeed, we are wage slaves for the corporations that employ us and benefit disproportionately (compared to us) from our labour. Even as a nurse, I see everyday how the hospital I work for (non-profit though it is) is mired in an anti-worker, corporate mentality where the only thing that matters is the bottom line. Very little attention is paid to evidence-based staffing levels, patient safety, etc... Great article. Looking forward to part 2...epiongonoreply@blogger.com
