<strong>(Quest 4 Reality) </strong>The United States is quickly becoming devious for censorship. You would think a country that was founded on the basis of freedom would allow the free flow of information but unfortunately it is censoring information it does not want you to see. <strong> </strong>The US has not only banned certain commercials but now has also banned an episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. I record this show via DVR and it would say it was recording the Police State episode but it would actually record other episodes. After a few different times trying to record it I got frustrated and did what any one would do... I looked it up on youtube! I watched the episode and was blown away! I had heard and seen most of this information before but it was all laid out perfectly and they managed to fit it all into 45 minutes! Apparently though they aired it once or twice and then pulled it right off the air.

They show modern concentration camps, which they call "residential centers" surrounded by 20 ft chain link fences topped off with barbed wire just like you would see on prisons. Ventura went to the sign out front which says they are operated by FEMA. These camps are complete with playgrounds and they even saw children playing on them when they were outside checking it out. Jesse Ventura proceeds to go to the front door, which is locked and knocks on the door. Of course when they come out they refuse to answer any of his questions and even call the police on them! Alex Jones then leads Jesse to a field of hundreds of thousands of plastic coffins. They are stacked up like Rubbermaid totes on pallets. Apparently these coffins are capable of holding up to 4 bodies. Jesse then decides to go to Washington to ask the Congressman some questions about these camps. This man co-sponsored the bill that allowed these FEMA camps to be built and he knew nothing about them or the bill he helped passed that allowed their creation! Unfortunately this is typical of what happens in politics. Lobbyists and special interest groups pay Senators and Congressman and other political figureheads to sponsor bills or vote for bills that will help them get what they want. That is how a good majority of these laws that protect big corporations are passed.

This is only part of the censorship that I think they are planning to implement. The FCC among others want to censor and control the information on the Internet. Their latest stride in that direction is based upon the Wikileaks ordeal. I found an article on NaturalNews.com that lays it out pretty well on what they plan to do and why. This is written by Mike Adams and I have included the full article below.

(NaturalNews) Regardless of what you think about the Wikileaks release of state secrets, there's no debating the astonishing fact that the internet made these leaks possible. Without the Internet, no single organization such as Wikileaks would have been able to so widely propagate secret government information and make it public. In the old model of information distribution -- centralized mainstream media newspapers and news broadcasts -- such information would have been tightly controlled thanks to government pressure.

But <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/the_internet.html">the Internet</a> allows individual <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/information.html">information</a> publishers to bypass the censorship of <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/government.html">government</a>. In the case of Wikileaks, it allowed an Australian citizen to embarrass the U.S. government while sitting at a laptop computer in the United Kingdom.

Governments don't like to be embarrassed. They don't like their secrets aired on the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/internet.html">Internet</a>. Sure, it's okay for governments to tap all of <em>your </em>secrets by monitoring your phone calls, emails and web browsing habits, but every government seeks to protect its own secrets at practically any cost. That's why the upshot of this Wikileaks release may be that <strong>governments will now start to look for new ways to censor and control the Internet</strong> in order to prevent such information leaks from happening in the future.

What governments around the world are suddenly beginning to realize is that <strong>a free Internet is ultimately incompatible with government secrets</strong>, and secrets are essential to any government that wants to remain in <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/power.html">power</a>. That's because, as even Noam Chomsky stated in this Democracy Now <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/video.html">video</a> interview (<a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2010/11/30/noam_chomsky_wikileaks_cables_reveal_profound" target="_blank">http://www.democracynow.org/2010/11...</a>), most government secrets are based on information governments wouldn't want their people to discover -- secrets that might threaten the legitimacy of government if the people found out the truth.
<h1>How the FCC plans to seize <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/authority.html">authority</a> over the Internet</h1>
As part of a long-term plan to control content on the Internet, <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/the_FCC.html">the FCC</a> is now attempting to assert authority over the internet in the same way it has long exercised content <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/censorship.html">censorship</a> authority over broadcast <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/television.html">television</a> and radio.

The reason you can't say those seven dirty words on broadcast television, in other words, is because <strong>the FCC controls broadcast television content </strong>and can simply revoke the broadcast licenses of any television station that refuses to comply. This is the same tactic, in the internet world, of yanking a web site's domain name, which the Department of Homeland Security has already begun doing over the last several weeks (<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/030542_censorship_internet.html" target="_blank">http://www.naturalnews.com/030542_c...</a>).

The FCC also controls content on the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/radio.html">radio</a> and can yank the broadcast licenses of any radio stations that refuse to comply with its content censorship. This is why operators of "pirate radio stations" are dealt with so harshly: For the government to allow any radio station to operate outside its censorship and control is to invite dissent.

The Internet, of course, has been operating freely and without any real government censorship for roughly two decades. In that time, it has grown to be what is arguably the most influential medium in the world for information distribution. Most importantly, <strong>the Internet is the medium of information <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/freedom.html">freedom</a></strong> that is not controlled by any government.

The U.S. government wants to change all that, and they've dispatched the FCC to reign in the "freedoms" of the Internet.
<h1>How to crush Internet Free Speech</h1>
The first step to the FCC's crushing of Internet freedom is to <strong>assert authority over the Internet </strong>by claiming to run the show. The FCC, of course, has no legal authority over the Internet. It was only granted authority in 1934 over <em>broadcast</em> communications in the electromagnetic spectrum -- you know, radio waves and antennas, that kind of thing.

There is nothing in the Communications Act of 1934 that grants the FCC any authority over the internet because obviously the Internet didn't exist then, and it would have been impossible for lawmakers in the 1930's to imagine the Internet as it operates today.

So instead of following the law, <strong>the FCC is trying to "fake" its way into false authority over the Internet</strong> by claiming authority in the current "net neutrality" debate. By asserting its authority with net neutrality, the FCC will establish a beachhead of <em>implied authority </em>from which it can begin to control and censor the Internet.

This is why "net neutrality" is a threat to Internet freedom. It's not because of anything to do with net neutrality itself, but rather with the FCC's big power grab in its assertion that it has authority over <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/websites.html">websites</a> just like it has authority over broadcast radio.
<h1>The FCC may soon tell you what you can post on the Internet</h1>
Where is this all heading? Once the FCC establishes a foothold on the 'net, it can then assert that it has <strong>the power to tell you what to post on the Internet</strong>. Here's how it might unfold:

First, the FCC will simply <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/ban.html">ban</a> what it calls "information traitors," which will include people like Julian Assange (Wikileaks) who publish state secrets. (Technically Julian Assange can't be a traitor since he's not even American in the first place, but don't expect the FCC to care about this distinction.)

Once the public is comfortable with that, the FCC will advance its agenda to include "information terrorists" which will include anything posted about Ron Paul, the federal reserve and the counterfeit money supply, G. Edward Griffin, or anything from true U.S. patriots who defend the Constitution. The anti-state website <a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/" target="_blank">www.LewRockwell.com</a> (where some of my own articles have appeared from time to time) would also be immediately banned because its information is so dangerous to government control.

After that censorship is in place, <strong>the FCC will likely begin to push the corporate agenda</strong> by banning websites that harm the profits of large <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/corporations.html">corporations</a>. This will include, of course, websites like NaturalNews.com which teach people about <em><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/health_freedom.html">health freedom</a></em>, nutritional cures, <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/natural.html">natural</a> remedies and alternatives to Big Pharma's high-profit pharmaceuticals.

The way this will come about is that <strong>the FCC may require a license to publish <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/health_information.html">health information</a> on the web</strong>, in much the same way that states currently license <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/doctors.html">doctors</a> to practice medicine. This is how conventional medicine has operated its <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/monopoly.html">monopoly</a> for so long, by the way: By controlling the licensing of doctors at the state level. Any doctor who dares prescribe nutritional supplements or suggest that medication might be harmful to a patient immediately gets stripped of his license to practice medicine (and thereby put out of <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/business.html">business</a>). The FCC will likely do the same thing across the internet. Sites that publish <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/health.html">health</a> information without a license will be deemed "a threat to <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/public_health.html">public health</a>" and be seized by the government.

The first target? Anti-vaccine websites. Vaccines are so crucial to the continuation of disease and medical enslavement in <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/America.html">America</a> that any site questioning the current <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/vaccine.html">vaccine</a> mythology will be deemed a threat to public health -- or perhaps even a "terrorism" organization.

Essentially, once the FCC has gained power and authority over the Internet, it will use that power to <strong>push a Big Government / Big Business agenda </strong>that censors the truth, keeps people trapped in a system of disinformation, and silences anyone who challenges the status quo.

<strong>The FCC is poised to become the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/FDA.html">FDA</a> of Internet information</strong>, banning alternative speech and enforcing an information monopoly engineered by powerful corporations.

Think of the FCC as the new <strong>the Ministry of Truth</strong> from George Orwell's novel <em>1984</em> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Truth" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist...</a>).
<h1>This is not about net neutrality, it's about the FCC power grab</h1>
Remember, I am not arguing here <em>for</em> or <em>against </em>the principle of net neutrality itself, but rather warning about the FCC's imposition of false authority over the internet in the first place. The idea of net neutrality has merits, but granting the FCC the power to control the internet is a disastrously bad idea that will only end in censorship and "information tyranny" -- especially now that governments around the world are witnessing the "dangers" of information freedom via the Wikileaks fiasco.

If there's one thing governments hate, it's real freedom. Sure, they all talk about freedom and publicly claim their allegiance to it, but behind the scenes what they really want is <strong>total information control</strong>. That's because freedom gives people the ability to say what they want, to whomever they want, and even to oppose the doctrine of the government.

Just look at China and how it has censored the internet to the point where you can't even log in to Facebook from that country.

<strong>Governments hate freedom because freedom threatens centralized power and control over the People</strong>. And because governments hate freedom, they also hate the internet as long as it's free. This is why bloggers and Internet journalists are right now imprisoned all over the world for merely posting the truth (<a href="http://www.cpj.org/imprisoned/cpjs-2008-census-online-journalists-now-jailed-mor.php" target="_blank">http://www.cpj.org/imprisoned/cpjs-...</a>).

As Noam Chomsky said in his DemocracyNow interview (link above), what the recent Wikileaks releases really show is that the U.S. government has "a profound hatred for <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/democracy.html">democracy</a>."

It also happens to have a profound hatred for actual freedom, because people who are free to think for themselves and write whatever they want are always going to be a threat to a government that wants people to conform, obey and acquiesce.
<h1>All government agencies seek to expand their power</h1>
What do the FCC, FDA, TSA, <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/DEA.html">DEA</a>, FTC and USDA all have in common?

<strong>They all want more power.</strong> They want more authority, bigger budgets and more control over the world around them. They are like <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer_tumors.html">cancer tumors</a>, growing in size and toxicity while they consume more and more by stealing resources from a healthy host. The bigger these cancer <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/tumors.html">tumors</a> become, the more dangerous they become to the health of the host body, and the more urgently they need to be held in check or excised from the body entirely.

There is no such thing as a government agency that wants to be smaller, with shrinking budgets and fewer employees on the taxpayer payroll. Government departments -- just like people -- incessantly seek more power even at the expense of freedom among those they claim to serve. And this move by the FCC to assume control over the internet is one of the most dangerous power grabs yet witnessed in the short history of the information age.

By the way, one of the reasons we created and launched <a href="http://www.naturalnews.tv/" target="_blank">www.NaturalNews.TV</a> was because <strong>we wanted a video site that could not be turned off by YouTube</strong>. You've probably heard the horror stories of famous content producers like Alex Jones having their YouTube accounts suddenly terminated. <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/NaturalNews.html">NaturalNews</a>.TV is <strong>a safe haven for alternative health content</strong> that cannot be turned off by a large corporation that doesn't recognize the value of health freedom.

By the way, I recommend reading another outstanding <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/article.html">article</a> on this topic written by John Naughton at The Guardian (<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/dec/06/western-democracies-must-live-with-leaks" target="_blank">http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...</a>). Here's a taste of what he writes:

<em></em>

She went on to relate how, during his visit to China in November 2009, Barack Obama had "defended the right of people to freely access information, and said that the more freely information flows the stronger societies become. He spoke about how access to information helps citizens to hold their governments accountable, generates new ideas, and encourages creativity." Given what we now know, that Clinton speech reads like a satirical masterpiece. "Information has never been so free," declared Clinton. "Even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable."Consider, for instance, how the views of the US administration have changed in just a year. On 21 January, secretary of state Hillary Clinton made a landmark speech about Internet freedom, in Washington DC, which many people welcomed and most interpreted as a rebuke to China for its alleged  cyber attack on Google.

 I hope you enjoyed reading this information and that it is beginning to open your eyes to what is really going on in this world. If we all start making small changes now we can stop history from repeating itself and move towards a more harmonic and peaceful world, where we can all coexist and help one another get everything we want via cooperation rather than competition. That is the dream that I intend to manifest in my life. Thanks again for visiting <strong>Quest 4 Reality! </strong>Please visit my video page here which was just updated with new videos...
