Jen's angry! Plus, someone you've never heard of has got a big backside!

Extraordinary Rendition, Torture and Disappearances in the "War on Terror" Human rights groups and several public inquiries in Europe have found the U.S. government, with the complicity of numerous   more...governments worldwide, to be engaged in the illegal practice of extraordinary rendition, secret detention, and torture. The U.S. government-sponsored program of renditions is an unlawful practice in which numerous persons have been illegally detained and secretly flown to third countries, where they have suffered additional human rights abuses including torture and enforced disappearance. No one knows the exact number of persons affected, due to the secrecy under which the operations are carried out. For more information visit

Stop the Clash of civilizations - demand real Middle East peace talks now! Talk is rising of a 'clash of civilizations'. But the problem isn't culture, it's politics -- from 9/11 to Guantanamo, Iraq to   more...Iran. This clash is not inevitable, and we don't want it.

So where to start? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the key symbol of the rift between Islam & the West. It's time to step up and take the initiative.

Petition to Israeli, Palestinian & international leaders: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies at the heart of a global clash threatening to divide us all. People from every corner of the world want a just and lasting peace in the Middle East - and the international community can and must help bring all sides to the table. Start Real Middle East Talks Now, and stay at the negotiating table until we have peace...

I had a dream the other night, I didn't understand.
A figure walking through the mist, with a flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by my bed.
He took off his three-cornered   more...hat, and speaking low, he said:
"We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty.
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave.
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
"The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep.
But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep.
Your freedom gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave.
In this, the land of the free and home of the brave.
"You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent.
Although you have no voice in choosing, how the money's spent.
"Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate.
Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the state.
You read about the current news, in a regulated press.
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S.
"Your money is no longer made of Silver or of Gold.
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled.
You pay for crimes that make our Nation, turn from God in shame.
You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name.
"You've given government control, to those who do you harm,
So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm,
And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail.
"Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn.
Your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born.
Your leaders ship artillery, and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars.
"Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died?
Or don't you have the courage, or the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children, to live in fear and be a slave?
"People of the Republic, arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our Great Republic, and God-Given Right!
And pray to God, to keep the torch of Freedom burning bright!"
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came.
His words were true, we are not Free, we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants, trample each God-Given Right.
We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside, in a dream, while you're asleep,
And wonders what remains of our Rights he fought to keep,
What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave?

Despotism, 1946
This 10-minute film from Encyclopedia Britannica Films features Dr. Harold D. Lasswell of Yale, who was a professor of law and of political science at the school while both our current   more...and our most recent presidents were students there.

The film, produced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, presents a spectrum from democracy to despotism. And it begins with this cautionary note:

Avoid the comfortable idea that the mere form of government can of itself safeguard a nation against despotism. ... When a competent observer looks for signs of despotism in a community, he looks beyond fine words and noble phrases.

That last is shown against a backdrop of patriotic Americans reciting the (original) Pledge of Allegiance, which fades into the silhouette of a lynching. That's the implicit message of this film, It Can Happen Here.

We are introduced to a man "who makes it his business to study these things" -- presumably Dr. Lasswell. The professor offers two "yardsticks" for measuring the existence of despotism or democracy in a given community or nation.

The Respect Scale ranges from shared to restricted, and measures "how many citizens get an even break." The Power Scale ranges from shared to concentrated. "The test of despotic power is that it can disregard the will of the people," the professor says. It's notable that in this 1946 film, both racism and anti-Semitism are offered as examples of despotic tendencies.

But here's where the film really gets interesting. The professor then offers two more scales by which, he says, an observer can determine whether a nation is headed toward democracy or toward despotism. These scales are Economic Distribution and Information.

Here's what the professor has to say about economic distribution, which he measures on a scale from "balanced" to "slanted":

If a community's economic distribution becomes slanted, its middle-income groups grow smaller and despotism stands a better chance to gain a foothold. ...

If this condition exists over the nation as a whole, so that the control of jobs and business opportunities is in a few hands, despotism stands a good chance. ...

Another sign of a poorly balanced economy is a taxation system that presses heaviest on those least able to pay.

In 1946, the unjust or inequitable distribution of wealth was perceived as a dangerous tendency and a threat to democracy. The Cold War hadn't yet begun in earnest.

Over the following decades, Soviet despotism rose as a challenge to democracy in the world. And because Soviet despotism was nominally about the redistribution of wealth, talk about equitable economic distribution as a necessary prerequisite for healthy democracy became suspect. And not just suspect, but condemned as anti-democratic and anti-American.

The professor's final scale, which measures information on a range from "uncontrolled" to "controlled" seems eerily prescient, forecasting the McCarthyism to come. He wasn't really forecasting, of course, he was simply describing the past two decades in Europe.

A community rates low on an information scale when the press, radio and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people, and when citizens have to accept what they are told. In communities of this kind, despotism stands a good chance. ...

If books, newspapers and the radio are efficiently controlled, the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to.  less

Note to YouTube
------------------------------
All that Nick Ginsburn'es video does is copy quotes from the Qur'an.
If YouTube thinks that his video is offensive, then they think that the Qur'an is offensive.
  more...
It seems that YouTube is suspending accounts that have videos that quote from the Qur'an.
I am not a Muslim but I think Islam shouldn't be censored on YouTube.

Therefore here is copy of the video that was censored.

Things have changed with Google. Google is just another big corporate media giant that cares about their bottom line and avoiding waves an any sniff of lawsuit.

Other popular channels recently have been deleted without notice. just liked they backed down on the Chinese censorship issue, Google/YouTube won't defend anyone here. it's not in their corporate culture.

These passages are from the Qur'an, the translations for which are found on this well-respected web site:

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/cruelty/long.html

If they are offensive, then the Qur'an is offensive. If they are 'unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense' (YouTube terms of service) then you should delete ALL videos on YouTube which quote ANY passage from the Qur'an (and Judeo-Christianity too). That includes videos made by Muslims for a Muslim audience.

I have not changed these passages in any way. I have not sought to distort their meaning.

THIS VIDEO SHOULD NOT BE CENSORED.

If it is censored, please provide a FULL description as to why this video breaks your terms of service. In addition, please explain why ALL the videos you leave untouched, and in which Muslims and Christians condemn atheists (and each other) to hell are allowed to remain.

This video is offered for debate with Muslims. If they wish to explain each of these verses, they have the opportunity to do so. If the video is removed, they will not have such an opportunity.

If you are censoring merely because Muslims object to the content of their own Qur'an, please also remove ALL Islamic, Christian and Jewish videos, of all kinds, because as an atheist I consider them obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, and racially/ethnically offensive.

CENSORSHIP IS WRONG.

Look at the masses, and I do mean MASSES of copyright and soft porn material you leave untouched on YouTube, then explain why you leave it all there and yet deleted this video, closed NickGisburne and Gisburne2000 accounts, my MikeNobody account and all other of my videos as MikeDamnNobody,

YouTube, please learn the difference between removal of hate speech and censorship of free speech. The difference between copyright protection and using copyright law to censor free speech.
Do not delete this video.

And PLEASE, restore NickGisburne and Gisburne2000 accounts. Hundreds of people will thank you for it - far more than those who complained about this one video, for which you banned him.

------------------------------
Note to YouTubers
------------------------------
This video can be downloaded from Nick Gisburne's web site:
http://www.gisburne.com

This censorship has to stop! Please copy/paste the following letter and send it to YouTube.

Dear YouTube,

It has come to my knowledge that the user NickGisburne has been suspended for a ludicrous violation without any substantial warning or urging of his cooperation to rectify on mentioned accusation. He is a good man that simply pleads for critical thinking on the subject of religion. Part of critical thinking has the sad consequence of offending people at times, but the irony here is that he simply used quotes from the Qur'an. I beg you to reconsider your action against NickGisburne. Please bring back his account(s).
