from assassinating the Commander in Chief, the Head Decider. FOX News would have an all day love fest with BushCo. and be railing on about how he's keepin us safe, and turrrists hate us for our freedom, and that's why this plot was hatched etc...ad nauseum.


"This case is an example of how our youth can be radicalized by misinformation and propaganda they see on the Internet," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Whisonant said during a sentencing hearing in Birmingham.


Ok, this is the scarey part. You see folks, its the Internet's fault. Because this one radicalized Muslim took things too far off of information he researched on the Internet, we've got to squash Net Neutrality laws and allow the Internet to be overseen and rationed out by our patriotic Corporate Overlords.

They use ANY story they can to slowly, drip by drip, use fear to wear away the public's resistance to harnessing the Internet and dividing it up for 3 or 4 corps.....who will make it very difficult for any of us to get onto DU and sites like it.
