As of February 4, IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling received 21,547 comments.  The IRS will take comments until February 27, 2014.
 
Twenty-one thousand comments is a pitiful showing.  Evidently most Americans don't know what this ruling proposes.
 
The IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling forbids non-profits to hold voter registration drives, advertise, promote and engage in activities regarding any political incumbent or candidate.  It forbids political fund-raisers, prohibits any kind of political activity including rallies, political mailings, teas, Meet & Greets, forums and gatherings that deal with political issues. It forbids a non-profit to support or oppose, discuss or question those seeking political office.  It forbids the gathering of signatures on petitions with political content of any kind, including nominating petitions and any comment pro or con on House and Senate bills.
 
By extension, it would be applicable at every level of government and to support or opposition to any kind of legislation whatsoever. 
 
There is little to no difference between a 501c(3) and a 501c(4). Applied to one, you can bet the ruling will soon be applied to the other.
 
But make no mistake, no matter what your political point of view this ruling is not about non-profits.  It's about the freedom to state and communicate publicly your ideas and preferences -- i.e., your values.
 
This ruling constitutes a danger to far more of us than the membership of non-profits.  It is not a simple violation of the First Amendment.  It is a proposal to do away with the First Amendment entirely and in effect institutionalize censorship.
 
No issue is as threatening to freedom as censorship.  The muzzling of the electorate is the means of forbidding government participation.
 
You say, "But the ruling is aimed only at non-profits!"  Is it?
 
Currently, churches are prohibited from discussing politics from the pulpit. Businesses and banks refuse to allow any material on their premises that involves a political issue.  Many members of business and military organizations are frightened to speak out on political matters for fear of reprisal.  The IRS has already deliberately delayed applications for non-profit status to those organizations that politicians and bureaucrats look upon with a jaundiced eye.  Scores of charitable organizations will also be muzzled by this ruling.
 
Much of our information about political activities and events is word of mouth.  What happens when talking about politics is illegal?
 
The IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling is an unconscionable attack on our right to discuss, agree or disagree about political matters.
 
If you doubt the scope and fundamental danger of this IRS ruling, consider the following: A government that has the legal authority to forbid what citizens may or may not talk about, is a government that has the legal authority to shackle your mind, which means your ideas.   That kind of shackling is a thousand times more paralyzing than chains on your body.  It stops thought, ambition, happiness, love, caring. 
 
Every Americans should comment opposing the IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling. Access http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=IRS-2013-0038-0001  Then contact everyone one knows inside and outside the state and ask them to comment as well.

As of February 3, an IRS proposal to further restrict non-profit organizations -- Reg-134417-13 -- received 21,330 comments.  The IRS will take comments until February 27, 2014.
 
Our population is a little over three hundred and ten million.  In view of that, twenty-one thousand comments is a pitiful showing.  It most certainly is not enough to demand thorough rejection of this extraordinary ruling.  I can only conclude that most Americans are unaware of the ruling, let alone know what it actually proposes.   So let us be clear.
 
The IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling proposes to forbid non-profits to hold voter registration drives, advertise, promote and engage in activities regarding any political incumbent or candidate.  It forbids fund-raisers for political incumbents and candidates, prohibits any kind of political activity including rallies, political mailings, teas, Meet & Greets, forums and gatherings of any kind that deal with political issues.  It forbids a non-profit to support or oppose, discuss or question those seeking political office.  It forbids the gathering of signatures on petitions with political content of any kind, including nominating petitions and the advice, suggestion or request that the electorate support or oppose House and Senate bills.
 
By extension, such drastic restrictions would be applicable at every level of government -- federal, state and local -- and to all political offices, agencies and departments that involves any kind of support or opposition to any kind of legislation whatsoever.  There is little to no difference between a 501c(3) and a 501c(4).  Applied to one, you can bet the ruling will soon be applied to the other.
 
No issue is as threatening to our freedom and well being as this ruling.  Even gun laws are of less importance.   For instance, if the IRS can dictate to us who we can talk to and about what, we've no legal way to talk to any candidate or incumbent, nor anyone else about supporting or opposing gun laws -- or any other "political" issue.
 
It is a certainty that once made into law, politicians and bureaucrats will rush to interpret "political" to mean anything they want it to mean.  That means any subject they choose will be included in "political issues."
 
Make no mistake, this ruling is not about non-profits.  It's about the freedom to communicate ideas and preferences -- i.e., your values -- to anyone about anything. What happens when under the cover of "political issues" we are forbidden to talk to those who propose such laws?   You know the answer.
 
This ruling constitutes a danger to far more of us than the membership of non-profits. It is not a simple violation of the First Amendment.  It is a proposal to do away with the First Amendment entirely and in effect institutionalize censorship.
 
Censorship is the most basically sweeping means of tyranny.  Once imposed, your rights are obliterated, your life is no longer yours.
 
You say, "But it's aimed only at non-profits!"  Is it?
 
We all know that churches are presently prohibited from discussing politics from the pulpit.  We know that many business and military organizations are presently frightened to speak out on political matters for fear of reprisal, the least of which is losing their non-profit status.  We all know that the IRS deliberately delayed applications for non-profit status to certain organizations that the federal government  -- i.e., politicians and bureaucrats -- looks upon with a jaundiced eye.
 
Certainly, we all know that Harry Reid has repeatedly condemned "Tea Party Republicans," and that many in Congress and the media have joined the chorus. We all know that Tea Parties are non-profits.  And some of us know individuals who are so fearful of being associated with Tea Parties that they seem mentally paralyzed, unable to grasp facts.  Such paralysis is the result of accepting bureaucrats' edicts as if they were an unavoidable, inevitable part of reality -- like gravity -- not to be argued about, criticized, rejected or opposed.
 
All of this has escalated into a generalized, widespread feeling so that now the IRS feels no concern in proposing such a ruling as IRS Reg-134417-13.  Does anyone think the IRS will stop there? 
 
Americans should speak out against this unconscionable attack on our right to discuss, agree or disagree about political matters.  They should access http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=IRS-2013-0038-0001 and comment opposing the IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling.  They should contact everyone they know inside and outside their state, asking them to comment as well.
 
If you doubt the scope and fundamental danger of this IRS ruling, consider the following: A government that has the legal authority to forbid what citizens may or may not talk about, is a government that has the legal authority to shackle your mind, your ideas.  Shackling thought and discussion means the full "transformation" of our Republic into a totalitarian dictatorship.
 
It can't happen here?  Think again.  I'm asking every American to access  http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=IRS-2013-0038-0001
and make a comment opposing the IRS Reg-134417-13 ruling.  I'm asking every American to then write their Congressional Representative about this attack on our right to freedom of speech.
 
Thank you,
Sincerely,

CENSORSHIP BY ANY NAME IS STILL CENSORSHIP

I have a buggy blog called “Things That Bug Me” (http://www.insectman.us/articles/karls/what-bugs-me.htm) where I use street smarts, country common sense, and a biblical basis to say what Hannity, Limbaugh et al. won’t say.  For example:

We can win everything and lose it all! If we do not win the hearts and minds of the next generation—it is all a waste!! We must rescue our children!!!

Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGZLSVph3Ahttp://insectman.us/exodus-mandate-wv/index.htmand https://www.youtube.com/user/IndoctriNationMovie

That makes some people mad, but it is not just liberals.  I have been banned from both the (sick) loony left Huffington Post and the (self-) righteous right Tea Party Nation and Teabook.

Since my posts were clean and reasonably respectful (but tough with loon-lefty liberals), it had to be because the points stung the HuffPost censors. 

The Tea Party Nation dictator banned me for proclaiming that today’s conservatives seriously need to see what happened in 1974 when this culture war was launched.  That single censor caused lots of conservatives to miss important information.  Liberal censors are loathsome, but conservative censors stink.

Facebook Purges Pro-Gun Accounts

Massive act of censorship sees alternative media pages disappeared

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
December 27, 2012

Facebook is purging accounts that carry pro-second amendment and pro-liberty information in a censorship purge that has accelerated over the past few hours, with innumerable pages being disappeared merely for posting legitimate political content.

NaturalNews.com’s Mike Adams contacted us to alert us to the fact that “Facebook banned our account for posting this,” with an attached image of a Gandhi quote about how the British disarmed the citizenry during their rule in India.

undefined

The following is a list of Facebook accounts operated by individuals in the alternative media that have been shut down by Facebook staff over the past 24 hours. Infowars writer Aaron Dykes and political dissident Brandon J. Raub have also had their accounts deleted. Raub was snatched by police and forcibly imprisoned in a psychiatric ward earlier this year for posting political content on Facebook. Infowars editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended this morning.

Kurt Nimmo (account suspended)
Aaron Dykes (account inactive)
Amber Lyon (account suspended)
Brandon J. Raub (account inactive)
Michael F Rivero (account inactive)
Anthony J Hilder (account inactive)
William Lewis (account inactive)
Richard Gage (account inactive)
William Rodriguez (account inactive)
Infowar Artist (account inactive)
We are Change (account inactive)
Wacboston At Twitter (account inactive)
Michael Murphy Tmp (account inactive)
Robert M Bowman (account inactive)
Peter Dale Scott (account inactive)
Jason Infowars (account inactive)
Mike Skuthan (account inactive)
Packy Savvenas (account inactive)
Sean Wright (account inactive)
Katherine Albrect (account inactive)

It is important to stress that most of these accounts have not simply been temporarily suspended, they have been shut down completely. Some are now being reinstated after complaints. Accounts that have been suspended can still be seen but posting rights have been revoked.

A 24 hour suspension was also placed on the Alex Jones Facebook account due to an image that another user had posted in which Alex Jones was tagged.

One of the messages being received by users having their accounts suspended is displayed below. In most cases, users are not even being informed of why their page was suspended or deleted, with Facebook merely referring them to the company’s guidelines.

Last week, we reported on how Facebook was suspending user accounts that questioned the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre.

As we have previously highlighted, Facebook occasionally deletes images and posts that it claims violate “Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” yet constitute little more than political conjecture or a healthy skepticism of official narratives on current events.

In September 2011, Infowars reporter Darrin McBreen was told by Facebook staff not to voice his political opinion on the social networking website.

Responding to comments McBreen had made about off-grid preppers being treated as criminals, the “Facebook Team” wrote, “Be careful making about making political statements on facebook,” adding, “Facebook is about building relationships not a platform for your political viewpoint. Don’t antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of what you are preaching.”

Google EVIL?

If this is the way they are going to be, I am going to have to start boycotting them.

That means no clicking on Google ads (they get paid for that)

and no more searches with their engine.

I will use this instead.

http://www.ixquick.com/

I dont put much stock in Huffington Post most of the time, but read this article:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-green/breaking-google-goes-evil_b_676021.html

You may or may not agree with Alex Jones, and if you dont, you probably dont know him very well or listen to his program. I know Alex, I met him personally years ago and have followed his work - whether you agree with him or not, you have to agree that censoring his opinion IS evil. It is anti - first amendment, though in this case it isnt the Government playing big brother, its the new technorati, the globally oriented info-corporations.

This is the new face of the NWO. Corporate NGO's who will assist the government to suppress the opinions they do not like or threaten their power. Wake Up.

I wrote this in response to a young man who was fired for writing a patriotic song. He was a public school football coach and made the mistake of having a politcally incorrect viewpoint. Links to the song are below.

To:

Priniciple Curtis, Williamson County School District, Franklin TN

chrish (at) wcs.edu

Way to go, Principle Curtis!

"Mmm, Mmm, Mmm! Barack Hussein Obama!!!" Wouldn't it have been nice if that was what Mr. Glover chose to record? He could have had the whole school sing along then, no doubt. (You cant help but notice that the teacher involved with THAT musical masterpiece received no disciplinary action whatsoever...hmmm.)

Way to show your students and your community what vicious liberal censorship looks like. Believe me when I tell you that what you have done is going to end up costing the district - you just gave yourself and your school a self-inflicted black eye in the PR department and a lot of people will be looking at making some changes in Williamson County SD as a result. To top it off, you single handedly gave a bunch of bright young athletes a slap to the face for their hopes for this football season...again, GREAT JOB!! I am sure Mr. Looney is proud of you and your actions... Hmmm?...

So, Bravo! All of you so-called "progressives" love squashing any opinion you don't agree with - Brian Glover and Juan Williams in the same week!! Stalin and Mao would be so proud of you.

Apparently, you don't understand that the 1st Amendment of the Constitution exists to protect the speech you DON'T like and not the speech that YOU approve of. You used your power like a tyrant - and tyrants deserve nothing but overthrow and rebellion.

CENSORSHIP is one of the MOST UN-AMERICAN actions you could have taken. NPR is going to suffer and you and your district will too. You couldn't destroy this man's music, or his message, so you destroyed his career. You should be ashamed, but you're not - and that makes your particular (politically motivated) retaliation even more beneath contempt.

Freedom of Speech...FOREVER.
Good luck with the public scorn.... enjoy it! The story is now so fully viral that the song has now reached MILLIONS. Probably didnt see that coming, did you?

Signed,
Sick and Tired of Politically Correct, Social "Progressives"! (AKA The New Face of Fascism.)

Obamanation of Desolation

Right now he is desolating our Constitution, our country, and all political opposition.

Resistanceis F.U.T.I.L.E

Political and Obamanation Censorship is running rampant at this very moment in time. First of all after theSenate approved the Cyber Security bill that will give Obama the powerto shut down any parts of the Internet at his will, Facebooktook down the Real Alex Jones profile only because he had theDon't tread on me flag (Gadsden flag), FederalJackhas been hacked again so that people can't add any kind of trutharticles, The ObamaDeception and other vital truth (Anti-Establishment) documentarieshave been taken down aka censored by hackers right after it was the topkeyword on Google/Yahoo Trends, and all 73,671blogs hosted at Blogetery were instantly shut down including oneof my multiple USWGO Syndication centers with no Mysql backup sent tothe innocent bloggers including myself just simply because theauthorities demanded the entire server was shut down instead of goingafter the elite of illegal blogs.

This is a total of 4 censorship and Whitewash attacks all at one time and all four isdetrimental to our Constitution, War on Blogs, End of The ObamaDeceptions massive popularity and supreme search rank, Hack hassabotaged FederalJack's truth syndication center, and Facebook will nolonger tolerate Don't tread on me flag supporters.

This means that this had nothing to do with the War on Piracy but this is a Waron Blogs and Piracy was the perfect excuse to shut down tens ofthousands of Independent and even domain name blogs. This definitelyproves this has nothing to do with Piracy because if it did the Innocentones would have never been targeted and the guilty ones would have togo through Due Process.

Anytime Police shut down websites without a court trial this not only violates Due process but also theFirst Amendment of the Constitution which protects Freedom ofExpression AND the Freedom of the Press (Freedom of Speech). So inother words these Police induced server shut downs without Due processare violating two to three amendments of the U.S. Constitution plusdestroys the very thing our American Republic stands for.

So right now the Government has started flexing their muscles against thetruthers right after they shut down 9piracy (Unlicensed Movie Streaming) sites as a warning to truthersthat after he gets rid of all viral filesharing networks he will comeafter the truthers and punish them the same way as movie pirates usingthe Hate Crimes law. It's the same tactic as the CIA using paidpedophiles to seek out and molest kids in order to create an excuse topersuade the public to approve of more strict rules to control theInternet.

This is the future of Military Police Action against bloggers:

This won't end good after these four well thought of attacks it will definitely stifle theFreedom, Liberty, and Truth Movements and that is exactly why I amgoing to backup my site a lot more to prevent being one of thosevictims and store backup DVDs of my websites in undisclosed locations Iwon't tell even if I am detained. They can threaten me, they can talkdirty, they can even call me racial terms but I won't crack, I won'tlet the Government desolate the truth because it's our ConstitutionalRight, it's our God forsaken Right. Obama can kiss my donkey and eventhen I won't give in to that jackdonkey.

I will keep monitoring the Internet for more Pentagon and Air Force Cyber Command basedattacks and report on them as I see them. If this thing gets real ugly Imay dispatch truth DVDs with archives of all of my articles on thefile sharing networks before they are all shut down. Also I may ask mytown mayor if I can host a truth speech and give out DVDs to all of thetowns people.

Author: Brian D. Hill

Notice: Now I can be less fearful and finally have more peace of mindusing my own video system instead of YouTube. Thanks YouTube forletting me not be dependent on you :-P Youtube Sorry I'll start usingmy own or alternatives! Also for others that are reading my article forany of those that want to do the same I hope you will to send themessage to YouTube that they need to stop censoring history, and letthe truth freely flow even if some complain about the truth.

So Please other people start leaving YouTube as well and start usingyour own embed videos in fact if you run your own wordpress site youcan use free plugins such as Stream FLV Player. For hosts that acceptsmall versions of youtube you should start promoting your streamingvideos on your own site to show YouTube that it's the Peoples Tube andnot their tube.

If you've already seen the new video embeddable players USWGO has ontheir new latest articles it is because Brian D. Hill keeps beingparanoid and fearful everyday that YouTube will censor his videosbecause of the fact that they now require SMS Verification and may oneday require Social Security Numbers just to register accounts, Paypalhas also destroyed USWGOs account and may force them to pay to registerwith the US Government as an official non profit and give out hispersonal home address to the world even though USWGO is a non profitand not run on a physical location but on the internet and only wantsto fight against the NWO, and now YouTube keeps taking videos down andmaking them disappear forever.

Because of all these methods of control against USWGO and otheranti-nwo activists, now Brian D. Hill has decided hes starting todistance himself from YouTube, also trying to use his own embededvideos stored on his own websites to serve instead of using youtube forvideo embeds, and will find a way to pay for extension or work with hisweb hosting provider to allow him to run his own YouTube style site(HyipoTube).

Brian D. Hill has had it with YouTube trying to censor history and makeit whatever the establishment wants it to be. He is also scared thateven the days before Obama where almost every American hated Bush willbecome a thing in the past that because of Obamas control methods theneventually even George W. Bush may be worshiped just like Obama becauseof the distortion of real history, political censorship, and thebrainwashing of the lost sheeple.

"I've had it with YouTubes censorship so for now on I will ONLY useYouTube to promote my cause while I'll slowly start getting my videostransffered with keepvid to my own site to stream from there and startending my dependence on YouTube. I may end up starting up HyipoTube asa private site for now until I negotiate with my web host to allow meto host a future YouTube and host advertisements to pay for it. I don'twant any kind of money online because then I have to deal with SocialSecurity wanting my information so I just want to get money to pay forall of my services to the people, I don't want to make any kind ofprofits so I won't have to give out any SS#'s or EIN Numbers becauseagain I don't make money anything I get is for my cause and giving upmy life to fight Satan and the establishment and if I goto prison forfighting the establishment I will gladly fight this regime to the death.

I am going to remain vigilant as Patrick henry Jolly states and I willbe brave like my founding fathers before me. I will gladly state thiseven if the secret service puts me up on the threat list because Iwon't submit to tyranny and I will do it allPEACEFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I repeat I will peacefullyresist and not comply. I will resist the new form of tyranny BarackObama and George W. Bush has started.

-----------------------------

Since more and more truther sites use wordpress, why not they useStream FLV Player because it is very flexible, can be embeddedanywhere, and also allows HD Videos, MP4 Videos, and other kinds ofstuff including logo branding. For those getting sick and tired ofyoutube videos disappearing start using Stream FLV Player plugin fromwordpress.

Lets start biting youtube where it hurts, their advertisers, and theirwallets. I will only use youtube to promote anti-NWO Videos from me and my truth buddies. No more using embeds from youtube on my site.

Since youtube is a private entity that thinks they can do what they want they can see me start to use them less.
