Why Freedom of Speech in the USA will be determined by the status of a French Cartoon.
First
of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the French
satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Their
decision to publish the Islamic Prophet Mohammed was a profile in
courage, an act of bravery
and integrity.
So,
why is it so important that it was published and should be allowed to
be published in the USA and the world? In the US, we have freedom of
speech, even if that speech offends or is even considered hate
speech. While we cannot yell "fire!" in a movie theater,
anything short of this is legal and free. If an intolerant group are
allowed to determine what we say by simply becoming violent then we
have no free speech. The intolerent group can then effectively
legislate what we are allowed to say, for instance: If I said, "I
think that the practice of forced female circumcism is a violation of
human rights" and a particular group stormed a US embassy in
say, an Islamic country, because they believed that this showed
hatred towards their religion and expressing that belief then became
illegal, groups
everywhere would learn that all they had to do to suppress free
speech would be to become violent.
One of the founders of our great nation, George Washington once said: "If
the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be
led, like sheep to the slaughter."
And here is my quote: "When
you allow others to determine the definition of evil; hear no evil,
speak no evil, have no freedom of speech".
Elements
of the islamic world are calling for the banning of this cartoon and
the unfinished poorly done video "The innocence of Muslims",
however we may or may not dislike them, we must protect them as if
our lives depended upon it.
I
call on free newspapers throughout the world to print images of the
so called "Prophet" every day until we have 1 day without
Muslim violence.

AARP throws senior citizens to the wolves in the name of profits.
AARP makes only about 20% of its
revenue from membership dues, while it makes 34% of its profits from
its healthcare insurance business. AARP's percentage of healthcare
insurance profits is about to increase dramatically under Obamacare
due to it's lobbying against its own memberships interests.
The AARP has carved out some nice
loopholes for itself in order to increase profits from seniors. By
suppressing reforms that would have lowered seniors premiums by
$415.00 per year, AARP gets to increase its profits. AARP also
lobbied to keep its own administrative costs exempt from new rules to
lower them. This increases profits to AARP and increases costs to
seniors.
Because the majority of AARP's revenue
depends on insurance profits from senior citizens, it cannot function
as an advocacy group for senior citizens. This conflict of interest
does not serve senior citizens, AARP lobbies in the name of senior
citizens against the interests of senior citizens. AARP stands to
make billions of dollars in profits on the backs of senior citizens.
What Can You Do?
Switch any insurance you may have away
from AARP. Do not renew your membership with AARP. There are many
other senior advocacy groups that are actual advocates for seniors,
find one that suits your needs. The fastest growing senior advocacy
group is American Seniors Association at:

A Sinister Pact
In mid
December 2011 while Americans were innocently shopping for Christmas
presents, the Obama Administration was signing a sinister pact. This
pact will eventually lead to the criminalization of any criticism of
Islam. The sinister pact that the Obama administration signed is
called UN Resolution 16/18. The evil document is archived here:
http://www.article19.org/data/files/medialibrary/2845/11-11-14-un---att1.pdf
The Evil pact has been pushed by the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation). One of the key provisions is: the criminalization of religious incitement to imminent violence. So essentially if you, an American says something and Muslims decide to get violent over it, you are now a criminal and should be prosecuted. So hypothetically, if I produced a film and stated that I thought it was wrong for Mohammed to marry a 5 year old girl, and this incited Muslims to violence, the feds could come to my house and perp walk me into an interrogation room? This is completely implausible. (tongue in cheek).

The
Egyptian Prime Minister has already called for the arrest of the
Filmmaker of "Innocence of Muslims" based on "International
Charters" which clearly refers to the sinister pact UN
Resolution 16/18. The Secretary General of the Organization of
Islamic Cooperation, Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu called the film "a
deplorable act of incitement" clearly referring the UN
Resolution section (f) "Adopting measures to criminalize
incitement to imminent violence based on religion or belief".
The
UN Resolution 16/18 is in direct conflict with the US Constitution
Bill of Rights, 1st Amendment which prohibits abridging the freedom of speech.
We need
to repeal this sinister pact. Don't allow it to go unnoticed, spread
the word!
