Part 2
Silencing dissenters is nothing new. During the "Red Scare" our authoritarian rulers used the label of "communist sympathizer" to coerce and intimidate the nation to into uniform silence. Like good children, we are to be seen and not heard. The House Un-American Activities Committee and McCarthyism have been pulled back out of the closet to fight a new enemy, "Homegrown Extremists". Are H.R. 1955 and S. 1959 the greatest dangers to the freedom of speech, press, and assembly since the HUAC and Sen. Joseph McCarthy? Let's have a look...

the HOMEGROWN TERRORISM ACT is passed!
Your internet activities may be deemed as 'terrorism.'
The US House of Representatives has already voted on the HS 1955 bill (Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007).
- from the San Diego 9/11 Truth Meet-up Group:
A colleague has just posted a very important video on a very
important topic. There is pending legislation in the US that would
criminalize speech on topics the government deems "threatening." The law is called H.R. 1955. It goes by the Orwellian name: "The violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention act."

It quietly passed the House by a 404 to 6 vote and at least one
Congressman admits voting for it without reading it.

Language in this bill makes it theoretically possible for government
agents to shut down sites like Brasscheck TV by claiming that
the information we share *may* incite violence.

Here's how I need your help...

Few Americans even know of the existence of this legislation let
alone know what's in it. The Internet can change that - and your help is needed. Please go to the site, view the video, and if you are a YouTube member (it's easy to join) rate it, favorite it, and post a comment. Frequent viewings and frequent posts help.

With enough activity in the next 24 hours, we may be able to make
this one of the most popular news videos of the day and raise the
profile on this very important subject.

Thanks.

Freedom of Speech and H.R. 1955 pt. 1

http://www.brasschecktv.com
Though the authors of H.R. 1955 would likely deny that the bill could be used to crack down on free speech and legitimate political opposition, the talking heads on the main stream networks have made it very clear that they would like this kind of legislation to do just that.
Can H.R. 1955 be used to silence the voices of dissent? Let's have a look.
