“The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwCNYkdUNE&feature=related added by: eduardoquezada

Sen. Al Franken: We Have a Free Speech Problem By Tim Karr, August 20, 2010 Sen. Al Franken (D.-Minn.) warned a packed house Thursday night in Minneapolis that the corporate takeover of our media, and the government's failure to stop it, is one of the most important issues of our time. Franken said our media system is at risk everywhere we turn — from our free speech online to the growing power of companies who own a massive number of media outlets. Franken was speaking during a hearing featuring Federal Communications Commission Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Michael Copps. He spoke about recent efforts by Verizon and Google to push a “policy framework” on Washington that transfers control over Internet content from the people who go online into the hands of a few powerful corporations. added by: BRAVATRAVELS
