George Clooney Arrested for Free Speech
If you pay for a building filled with foreigners calling themselves “the embassy,” who owns it?
Actor George Clooney recently decided to test the limits of Free Speech in the District of Criminals this Friday when he knowingly remained on a piece of earth despite threats of kidnapping by agents of the state. Those agents were given orders to kidnap and cage anyone who crossed a line which exists only in their imaginations. Clooney was totally peaceful and even aided in his own kidnapping because he wanted to bring attention to his cause: helping some oppressed people in Africa live free. In his act of civil disobedience, he brought attention to an arguably bigger issue: the caging of political activists who courageously speak truth to power and use as their soapbox public property for which they are forced to pay.
With the recent passage of what’s being called “the Indefinite Detention bill,” which permits agents of the state to secretly cage, torture, and kill any person for any reason, it is likely that stars such as Clooney are among the privileged few who have little to risk when doing this type of activism. Were he to make this controversial statement in a speech, he would be putting his life and freedom at much greater risk, but fortunately actions speak louder than words.
I cheer Clooney’s goal of peace and freedom for people in Africa, but I hope he will have the same courage to speak in support of complete freedom for all individuals.
Airport Workers, Afraid to Speak Out Against TSA
This is the second part of the Kelly Derrick TSA (Airport Security) outreach event. The second video is coming out a little late to say the least. At this point it may be like beating the dead horse, which is why I stalled on the release of it, but it’s a good video nonetheless, so I decided to release it. This video focuses more on the airport workers (I put a few public interactions in there as well) and documents several of the workers being afraid to speak out against the TSA in the fear of losing their jobs.
Victim of Police Aggression Goes Limp, Calls State “Imaginary”
A policewoman in Hollis, New Hampshire thought it was the right thing to do to take out her pepper spray and launch it unannounced into the eyes of peaceful 21-year-old Eric Geller, who was visiting his alma mater to have discussions with his former professors.
In my recent interview with Eric, he says that he can’t imagine how an imaginary entity, “The State of New Hampshire” is able to be a victim of his peaceful actions. He also says that he feels he has the right to stand on public property so long as he’s not hurting anyone or getting in the way, which he says he wasn’t. Eric seems to be pretty liberty-minded in every matter which I discussed with him, so I look forward to hearing more as this story develops. He is new to all this legal business, and I would like to offer my support in any way I can, even if it’s just attending his trial. Eric is facing 3 misdemeanor A charges: Criminal Trespass (being on school property), Disorderly Conduct (being on school property), and Resisting Arrest (going limp), and faces up to 3 years in jail plus $3,000 in fines. He hasn’t decided whether or not he will take the issue to court or accept a plea offer, so maybe if others reach out to him, he will know he will not be fighting alone.
Syrian Actress Speaks Out Against Bashar Al Assad
The Washington Post writes on Monday that women are being impacted heavily in the massacres taking place in Syria, and in return they are making an even bigger impact on the dialogue of peaceful protest. A crowd of men and women gathered Monday in mass protest against the massacre that took place the day before. Many women did not wear hijabs, a facial covering traditionally worn by women in that area.
Here’s a video of them protesting this week chanting anti-government slogans:
Here’s actress-turned activist Fadwa Sulayman, also seen without a hijab, talking about a hunger strike in which she is participating in order to draw attention to the violent repression by state agents in Syria:
In the video, the Fadwa calls for more protests outside of the embassies and hunger strikes to support the freedom of speech by the people against state agents.
Rick Santorum’s Family Votes Ron Paul
In a story by the Daily Caller, the nephew of Rick Santorum explains in his own words why he is voting for Ron Paul:
If you want another big-government politician who supports the status quo to run our country, you should vote for my uncle, Rick Santorum. America is based on a strong belief in individual liberty. My uncle’s interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working.
It is not the government’s job to dictate to individuals how they must live. The Constitution was designed to protect individual liberty. My Uncle Rick cannot fathom a society in which people cooperate and work with each other freely. When Republicans were spending so much money under President Bush, my uncle was right there along with them as a senator. The reason we have so much debt is not only because of Democrats, but also because of big-spending Republicans like my Uncle Rick.
It is because of this inability of status quo politicians to recognize the importance of our individual liberties that I have been drawn to Ron Paul. Unlike my uncle, he does not believe that the American people are incapable of forming decisions. He believes that an individual is more powerful than any group (a notion our founding fathers also believed in).
Another important reason I support Ron Paul is his position on foreign policy. He is the only candidate willing to bring our troops home, not only from the Middle East, but from around the world.
Ron Paul seems to be the only candidate trying to win the election for a reason other than simply winning the election.
This year, I’ll vote for an honest change in our government. I’ll vote for real hope. I’ll vote for a real leader. This year, I will vote for Ron Paul.
