Default Why the US airwaves are not free

The ruling democrat and republican parties proclaim that the airwaves
"belong to the people." But if the people ever try to get access to
any mass media that uses the airwaves, they would find these same
parties tightly control them. The statement that the airwaves belong
to the people is a hollow phrase that makes people feel good, as long
as they never test it.

The American airwaves are almost completely dominated by large and
wealthy private groups that broadcast their own opinions, not
necessarily those of the people.

The democrat and republican parties want to control the airwaves for
the same reason that totalitarian governments shut down any opposition
media organizations. They want to censor the information that the
mass of the people are allowed to know, in case the population gets
too much negative information and wishes to throw the ruling parties
out.

Secondly, when a political party is in power, it gets to dole out
government contracts and licenses to private groups that petition it.
What you don't see is that the halls of Congress and the regulatory
agencies and the White House are crowded with lobbyists whose job is
to distribute bribes to government officials for these privileges. In
America, these bribes are promises of high-paying, do-nothing jobs
like seats on Boards of Directors of corporations, and other nice
jobs. Former senator Bill Bradley now sits on the board of Starbucks.
These bribes are also called campaign contributions.

Now you know why the ruling parties, the democrat and republican,
fought so hard to end freedom on the internet. Freedom of speech
requires privacy and privacy requires anonymity. So to end freedom on
the internet, these parties had to destroy any anonymity of speech you
have on the internet.

Tyrannical parties, the Chinese communists and the American democrats
and republicans, must be able to know who is spreading threatening
political speech in any form of mass media because this threatens
their control over the gravy train of government taxes and contract
awards.

Since only 39% of the electorate vote in an American election, and the
two parties are roughly even, this means that either party represents
less than 20% of the eligible voters. But it costs nothing, only a
signature to say you belong to one party or another, so the real
percentage that either ruling political party in America represents is
much smaller than 20%. So neither the democrats nor republicans, even
combined, represent a majority of even the electorate which is not
even the the population itself.

The American ruling parties had a special problem. They had to shut
down freedom of internet speech without appearing to be against free
speech. They needed an excuse. They found the excuse in two ways.
Terrorism and Pedophilia.

In order to take freedom and rights away from the people, a political
party in power must first convince the people to give up their
freedoms willingly. The democrate and republican parties used an old
political trick. They had to convince the people there was a monster
among them, and that they had to give up their privacy to the the
ruling parties so the parties could protect them. What was this
monster?

It was pedophilia. They could not do through the terrorism argument
because the terrorist are really just a foreign group. The ruling
parties chose pedophilia as an excuse to control the internet because
pedophiles are normal people from the general population. They cannot
be differentiated from the population, so they are invisible. An
invisible is so much more frightening. The ruling parties made sure
that their friends in the mass media like yahoo and the news agencies
only broadcast stories depicting pedophiles as evil, and never
allowing news stories in which pedophilia is depicted as good or
neutral.

The ruling parties and other ambitious political groups, like lesbian-
feminists and the christian right, were also competing with each
other. Any group that could say that the invisible army of drooling
pedophiles was more dangerous, and that it could protect the people
even better, would gain political advantage.

Now you know how the ruling parties in the US took away the latest
form of mass media that gave you freedom of speech. You also know why
they did it.

If you ever make political speech that might be a threat to the
ruling parties, these parties will know right where to find you and
they will pick you off one by one. No will know that you are being
picked off because they ruling parties will neve admit that that their
reason was political speech.

Instead they will send a low-level agent around to your house when you
are asleep or not at home. She will pick through your garbage and peek
in your window. They will keep looking for some slight infraction or
law they can charge you with. Even if the charge is thrown out of
court, just fighting the case will bankrupt you and waste months of
your life.

They won't be any more, if HD/IBOC conditional -access takes-hold, but
it won't because there is ZERO consumer interest!

Is that where the bar is now set. *It's OK because the Chinese are worse?


At least they're aware that they're oppressed.

America is getting more and more like a repressive totalitarian
government. They have now made it impossible for you to post
anomymously.

This means that if you post political material that threatens a party
in power, they will write your name down on a list and harrass you.

The type of harassment the government uses in America are not the same
as in other countries, but in my post above, I gave you an example of
how they work.

They can also stage crimes, like having police plant evidence.

Even if cases are thrown out of court, they can tie you up in court
for years with phoney charges and "investigations."

The possibility of Low Power FM in America is still a scam because big
media have been able to pressure the government not to allow it in
major urban areas. What difference does it make if your LPFM
broadcasts in a desert where you only reach five people?
