 I was determined to overcome all forms of social injustice and actively involved in the civil liberties movement. An hour in the ring twice a week gave me a release valve for the pressure and helped me keep things in perspective.
Exercise not only provides a means for cathartic release of emotion, it has the added benefits of improving physical health and increasing endorphin production, which boosts mental wellbeing. It also improves brain functioning by increasing blood and oxygen flow to the brain, helping to create new nerve cells and increasing chemicals in the brain that help cognition. |

 In the United States and elsewhere, the government will try to limit civil liberties; restrict the flow of money, trade, and ideas internally and across borders; and even impose full-fledged martial law.
After many years of crisis and despair, it will seem as though the world has well and truly come to an end.

 Civil liberties and community standards were given short shrift; suspected Indian plague victims (Europeans were exempt) were forcibly examined, and if found to be infected, they were quarantined or hospitalized and their personal property destroyed. These actions violated caste practices, and infringed dearly held social and religious principles—especially where women were concerned. |

 The internet could be the single most important tool in the regaining of freedom and civil liberties in America and other countries.
So keep those cell phone videos rolling. Keep a compact video camera handy for all occasions. When the authorities step out of line, press the record button and try not to get your ass arrested. Book it back home, upload it to YouTube, and send me the link. We'll spread the word. (You can reach me through our feedback form, see the Contact Us link on our home page. |

 Our approach is non-violent, education-oriented and based on a fundamental respect for personal freedoms and civil liberties. You can help us win this information war by picking up a video camera, hitting record, and capturing these health authority tyrants on video. Your actions can reach tens of millions of people. Think about that: One person can still change the world for the better. Thank God for the internet! |

 Image a new United States:
Where our civil liberties are restored, the Bill of Rights is respected, and the government no longer spies on its own citizens.
Where disease rates plummet as the FDA's monopoly over medicine is broken, unleashing free market economics, free speech and free trade of both pharmaceuticals and natural remedies.
Where the IRS is put out of business, and the terror of the IRS is lifted from the shoulders of all Americans. Imagine never having to pay income taxes again (and never having to file a dizzying array of confusing tax papers every April 15th...). |

 Personally, I think Santos should sue the hospital and local law enforcement authorities for violating his civil liberties. What, exactly, is his crime anyway? If being sick is a crime, then practically this entire nation should be locked up, because we're the most diseased population in the modern world.
Update:
The mainstream media is reporting today that Santos has finally agreed to start taking synthetic chemical medications while sitting in jail. Gee, what a choice, huh? "Here, take these medications or rot in your jail cell." That's the choice Santos has been given. |

 Individual citizens will also be required to engage in Wishful Thinking to stop global warming, and those Americans who refuse to participate will be branded "eco terrorists" under a little-known provision in the Patriot Act that grants FBI agents the legal right to give atomic wedgies to anyone demanding civil liberties.
Not everyone is convinced that Wishful Thinking will actually result in greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Lawmakers were quick to leap on the obvious weakness in President Bush's ambitious plan. Rep. |

 The United States is on the fast track to fascism, and the Congress is working right alongside this nation's traitorous leaders to criminalize any thoughts, words or speeches that disagree with current government policies regarding war, terrorism, domestic surveillance and civil liberties. Simply speaking out against the war on Iraq could soon be labeled a crime. Merely thinking thoughts against the war on Iraq could be considered a criminal act.

 In this country, we have all types of fear at work in order to convince you to do something the people in charge want you to do, like giving up your civil liberties or paying ridiculous prices for prescription drugs in the monopoly market in the United States.
Profiteering and social engineering
Some prescription drugs, by the way, are marked up as much as 55,000 percent over the cost of the raw materials. In most industries, that would be called criminal profiteering. In the prescription drug industry, I guess it's just called a return on investment. Shareholders are happy. |

 REPPED: I have made a decision to stop writing feature articles about the Bush Administration, civil liberties and other similar political topics (most of which have been published on the CounterThink website). Although many readers have enjoyed these articles, I've decided to stop putting energy into these topics for two important reasons:
1) It distracts from my primary purpose of writing and sharing information about how people can improve their health and quality of life through nutrition, superfoods, exercise, natural health therapies, etc. |

 Even with what was lost in the last four years, in terms of civil liberties, it's still a good place to live. It was also Winston Churchill who said (paraphrasing), "America always does the right thing, after first exhausting all other alternatives."
Needed improvements are especially obvious in the pharmaceutical industry today. Over the last 15 years, Big Pharma has over-exaggerated and over-marketed its drugs, and now we're seeing the backlash of the harm caused to Americans and the harm caused by direct-to-consumer advertising. |

 The American people have, in essence, given the Bush Administration two thumbs up on its policy of invading foreign countries with no justification, spending more on war and destruction than on education, and lying to the American people while simultaneously stripping away their civil liberties. Yet, astoundingly, half the country just can't get enough of this treatment. They want more wars, fewer civil liberties, more spending on missiles and bombs, and practically no focus on the issues that really matter day to day such as health care, education and the national debt. |

 Were terrorist acts to resume in France, that country's established anti-Semitism might be redirected against its Muslim population, leading to deportations, restrictions of civil liberties, or worse. Germany has not flexed its military muscles in half a century. We might be surprised by what it brings to the battle—perhaps a desire by Germany to have a larger say in the Middle East specifically and in an increasingly competitive international arena generally. It has been a long time since we had to contend with Germany as a world power. |

 Can you see how the Federal Trade Commission is suppressing my rights and violating my civil liberties? Can you see how the FTC is going beyond any legitimate interest in protecting consumers and is now into the realm of suppressing the expression of opinions from a U.S. citizen?
In a letter dated October 12, 2004, the Federal Trade Commission states very specifically that I cannot, through letters, e-mails, telephone calls, books, websites, etc., "promote specific branded products." The insanity here is that the FTC's definition of "promote" is simply naming a specific brand name product. |

| Although our civil liberties are clearly under attack by our own government, we still apparently have the right to exercise Free Speech, because I know of no reports of Internet "freedom" writers being threatened, arrested or disappeared. As long as guys like Alex Jones (www.PrisonPlanet.com), Jeff Rense (www.Rense.com), G. Edward Griffin (www.RealityZone.com) and Paul Craig Roberts (www.vdare.com/roberts/index.htm) can exercise their free speech, we are apparently still enjoying the sacred protections of the First Amendment.

 Each month, we'll be shown images of a horrendous attack that COULD have happened, if we as Americans hadn't been willing to give up all our civil liberties in the name of security. And then every once in a while, they'll let an actual attack slip through (just like Bush knew the levies in New Orleans were going to fail, yet did nothing) just to remind people how much they need to live in constant fear.
That people continue to fall for this simplistic terrormongering is perhaps more shocking than the fact that a U.S. president would rely on it as his primary source of political support. |

Thoughtcrimes are about to become a reality in the United States of America, and Congress is pushing this through as quickly as possible so that each individual member of Congress can claim that he or she is "against terrorism." But this bill doesn't merely target terrorism: It targets anyone who speaks or even thinks thoughts against the U.S. federal government.
With this bill, the U.S. government is officially labeling the People of the United States as criminals. It is drawing a line in the sand and stating that from now on, it's the Government vs. the People. |

| They believe in the same destruction of their own civil liberties as part of the process for creating freedom. And they rest their arguments on similar distortions in logic: "War is peace. We can only defend our country by invading foreign nations before they attack us first."
Intelligent, educated people don't subscribe to these beliefs. An educated population would only choose war as a last resort. An educated population would recognize that Bush himself flatly does not have the mental capacity to lead a nation. |

 Reagan's Attacks on Civil Liberties
1984 SYNOPSIS: Under the rubric of fighting terrorism, President Ronald Reagan proposed serious threats to our civil liberties in 1984 which were ignored by the media.
The little-known threats were contained in four anti-terrorist bills sponsored by the President under the guise of fighting sabotage and assassination; the bills would criminalize domestic opposition to U.S. intervention in the Third World and authorize FBI investigations of legal political activity. |

 The way to protect civil liberties, of course, was to fight off any action that would curtail smoking.
The groups probably helped stall early efforts to curb smoking, but then became a liability to the tobacco industry. When their funding became evident, these groups lost credibility with government leaders, and when exposed by the media, made the tobacco industry look even more manipulative and deceitful.
The same phenomenon is occurring with food. The most vocal and perhaps well-funded group is the Center for Consumer Freedom (formerly known as the Guest Choice Network). |

I have no explanation for this other than the realization that half my fellow American citizens have been utterly hoodwinked. Or, to be more precise, fifty-one percent. The minds of Americans are easily shaped by policies of fear, it seems. If you scare the people enough, they'll vote for anybody. Even for Bush. And even if the rationale for war makes no sense whatsoever. |
