Putin isn't trying to make Americans more leftist. Putin is trying to convince leftist Americans to use ineffective tactics and fail to organize.

Don't be fooled.

Your help is needed to protect free speech in Virginia

The ACLU of Virginia opposes House Bill 1791, sponsored by Del. Scott Lingamfelter (R-Woodbridge), because it is a blatant attempt to chill the exercise of free speech.

HB 1791 would make it a felony — punishable by up to 20 years in prison — to encourage people to engage in peaceful protest, if the resulting demonstration erupts into "riotous" acts against a police officer, firefighter or emergency medical technician. The penalty for actually committing those acts would be no more than a year in jail.

Approved by both the Senate of Virginia and the House of Delegates, HB 1791 is a clear attempt to curb the exercise of free speech by frightening people out of even talking about organizing a protest. Please tell Gov. Terry McAuliffe to veto this bill.

In my letter, I noted this incident, in the District a few years ago:

If this bill passes, then opponents of protests could use similar tactics to shut down protests and imprison organizers - because of liability for opponents’ agents-provocateur.

I guess this must be Obama's file from the CCCC (Cosmic Coincidence Control Center)...

CONUS has become a counter-intelligence nightmare. We are compromised by widespread political, educational, corporate, medical, and media infiltration by enemy agents. Oathbreakers will fall like lightning from their lofty places.

Left agents of the 1%

By Frank Scott

As the Occupy Wall Street movement spread across the nation, mistakes and setbacks occurred which are minimal when compared to its success in calling attention to the private domination of America’s wealth by the upper 1% as a major cause of our social problems. Agents of that minority are feverishly at work, whether directly on the payroll or simply acting according to anti-social programming that teaches individualism, selfish egoism and the divisive identity politics that reduce the 99% to splintered minorities and assure continued domination by the richest 1%.
