Issue 101 Sopa, NDAA, Enemy Expatriation & loud free speech

(1/25/2012)
This week (after an emergency equipment upgrade) I review a little more about NDAA and it’s companion bill, the Enemy Expatriation Act, the bill that would strip Americans of their citizenship and allow them to be held forever without trial under the NDAA.  Of course the government wouldn’t admit one bill helps the other one give them unprecedented power to remove people they don’t like without a trial.
And a little about SOPA and how The Gut Reaction Journal went dark 1/18 along with Reddit, Wikipedia and possibly tens of thousands of other Internet Websites to protest SOPA.
And we look at ACTA, an even more onerous bill that spans half the world and goes even further than SOPA and because it’s a treaty, trumps all conflicting US law.
We also look at “money as speech” and how it may not remove the free speech of everyone else, it just drowns out everyone else’s voice.
And this week’s look at the Occupy Movement goes closer to home.  There is a very thoughtful article on the Occupy Delaware website that puts Occupy’s goals in a slightly different light.  Also, Occupy Delaware has a new show on Blog Talk Radio and one of their guests was featured here on the Journal back in Issue 93.
And finally, this week’s Good Guy begins a new series on, of all people, the 1%.  It’s not what you might think.

Issue 93 Occupy Delaware and 1 in 7 Americans are critically poor

 

(11/6/2011)
This week I go to Occupy Delaware for the first day of the occupation of Wilmington, Delaware.  It’s cold out there but these people are committed and ready.  I ask some participants a simple question; Why are you here?  The answers of many of the people there are as varied as they are and I include the reasons of three of them.
Also, we start off with a shocking report that says 1 in 7 Americans are now in extreme poverty.  There is no excuse for this and something must be done about it.

The Good Guy will be back next week.

Issue 91 Republicans, OWS and Occupy Delaware

 

(10/13/2011)
This week I’m talking about the Republicans.  The group that loves to call everyone who doesn’t agree with them “elitists” yet are the biggest elitists of all.  The quote from Pizzaman Herman Cain says it all.  I also look at the GOPs total obsession with President Obama as an indicator that, just like anybody else who has an obsession, can’t think of much of anything else except beating this guy, and that includes doing their jobs and working FOR the American People instead of against them.
Also in this issue; More about Occupy Wall Street and my introduction to Occupy Delaware.  You can tell how impressed I was and how I went as a reporter and came out a member.
