As you read this, our government is escalating a campaign of oppression against America’s heartland. Directly targeting the right to freedom of expression, Operation Cyber ​​​​Storm is ready to be deployed against all of us.

Bloggers are thus recognized as Americans’ last hope for freedom.

Bloggers have for years flexed their collective muscle of mind and heart, turning the tide of government action in many cases and exposing the corruption that is now endemic throughout the institutions Americans pay so dearly for.

Now the government has decided that they must be silenced. It’s time to fight back. We can return America to government by the people. In this battle, bloggers are our first line of resistance.

The existence of those cantankerous bloggers whose online speech, tirades, and views annoy so many has become the last and best line of defense for the much-tattooed First Amendment. The speed with which bloggers change their minds has made them a force to be reckoned with. Therefore, this government, under the deceptively constructed argument of ‘terrorist threat’, is going after the Blogosphere.

It is time for those who truly care about America and our freedoms as Americans to abandon the futile activities that were endlessly repeated by the activist organization of the 1960s. They no longer work.

Alito was confirmed. Congress is packed; the Supreme Court is frozen by the forces of big government and tyranny. Right now we can’t count on electing replacements because the voting process has been hijacked. It’s time to get out of the area and take the offensive.

Bloggers are under attack. They need to be protected. Therefore, the ACLU needs to organize working groups and an action network so that any blogger who is targeted for free speech issues gets all the support they need to help them as they use each case to wake up the public to what is going on.

Think of it like the medical support we owe our military when, to protect us, they put themselves in harm’s way.

We have been divided, right and left, greens and libertarians. These chasms are largely fiction, constructed to prevent effective communication and a unified front to protect people’s rights against the depredations of the unholy alliance between megacorporations and government.

Decent people may disagree on how to get there, but everyone understands where we want to go. The rights of the people as enunciated by Jefferson remain America’s Mission Statement today, deeper and more compelling of our allegiance than any government or political party. How we live, as long as we do not harm others, is our decision.

Political parties are tools that we created to help us achieve goals that were left incomplete at the time of the founding of the United States. Political parties were immediately used to oppose the full participation of each individual in that vision. Blacks remained in slavery; women stripped of their rights to their property and their bodies. Slavery, as Americans are beginning to see, comes in many types.

When political parties fail because they have proven incapable of advancing the work of human emancipation, they must be discarded. One of their deepest flaws is in the divisions they made possible. The redefinition of meanings, tying allegiance to words like ‘conservative’ instead of the deep principles underlying the US Mission Statement, worked to turn our rights, inherent and pre-government, into government-granted privileges. government.

The shift in definition that has helped create these divisions is beautifully spelled out by RJ Eskow in his article appearing on Huffington.com today.

The solution is a working coalition and the way to make it work is to start working together to protect our first line of defense, a common problem, the next persecution of bloggers.

Our unifying agenda must include the protection of bloggers as the last bastion of freedom of expression and the Internet as the common place of the people where opinions are aired, judged and adopted through the process of persuasion and consent.

Left, Right, Libertarian and Green; we have a common cause and a common need. That need is urgent and pressing. We can’t guarantee an honest vote yet, but we can support the word warriors in the trenches.

Blog Power: Celebrate the heroes among us.

Blogs have become the true voice of the people, the only one that the neoconservatives have not yet been able to stifle. The American Patriots will keep talking. In silence freedom would truly die.
