Oh, Now I see....that makes perfect sense. Why didn't you say that in the first place?

To the owner who must remain anonymous:

An unidentified reader, whose name has been changed to protect the innocent and whose whereabouts are unknown, extends a particularly joyful sentiment, the degree of which cannot be disclosed, after reading a certain work of clarification, the object of which is not public domain. The tenacity of the owner, clearly expressed through non-specific verbiage, is unparallelled and is very much appreciated by a loyal reader of an unidentified publication.

Let me get this straight. A federal attorney whose identity must be kept secret and concealed wanted a news story pulled, which also must be kept secret because its publication violates a legal statute that also must be kept secret.

If all of the above is true, either the blow back against the current administration will be huge, in the order of impeachment or this will make McCarthyism seem like small beer and the press will most certainly terrorized into a form of self-censorship that is practiced in countries with totalitarian regimes.

That is the greatest piece of Literature since Roger Zelazny's deconstruction of the Lord's Prayer in "Creatures of Light and Darkness"

Doug, please. I laughed until I cried. Then I cried some more because I realized this might be funny if it weren't true.

Oh my God...Brilliant!

I'm in my 50s and I have some experience kicking the government in the knees in the interest of justice. I have more than 100 publications, some of which are quite formidable. I have edited thousands of legal documents and articles.

The above is the most brilliant piece of writing I have ever seen. I am in awe!

Like I said in the post below, if you need help, it will arrive.

Hey Doug, see if they can just book us all at once - I sure don't want to waste the tax payers money.

Where's the sign up sheet? I just hate to see you alone in this dance. I'll bring a deck of cards.

I'm sure we can get a bridge tourment going in the holding rooms.

I'm assuming that they are sniffing your site so perhaps you can ask them for the a pre-filled sign up sheet. People can then select their choice of yes/no/maybe/thinking/....

Oh Gosh! I guess they finally tried to pick off Herb Greenberg. That's what happens to journalists who upset the Street.

Congratulations to all the bapathetic sheelpe on a job well done! As long as we have the warm comforting glow of boobervision, to carry us through our darkest hours, all is not lost.

Hip Hip Hoorah. As, we all fall happily into our ignorantly blissful slumbers.

Nighty night America.

Doug,
Thanks for the great belly jiggle!
This is the funniest thing I've read in a long while.
... And scary, very, very scary.

I'm thinking this hilarious but ultimately sad rant was written in "clarification" of a security letter your "company" received earlier.
Wasn't the Patriot Act "approved" by Congress to fight terrorists, not journalists? Isn't there a a way to charge them in court for misuse of governmental powers? If all journalists who received such nonesense wrote about it as openly as you have, the public would respect and trust them much more. Start a revolution, please.

Wow, this makes me sad. Knowing you have nothing at all to do with terrorism, how could this ever be justified?

It's now or never. Don't back down Doug.

Some one needs to remind the Bush Admin that when we lose freedoms, the terrorists win.

can I quote you on that?

so it has come down to this, eh? as a canadian that wished he was american for the first 50 years of my life, i can only say, o canada, i'm glad to be a hoser! my father enlisted in ww2 to defeat a facist regime and defend freedom of speech. what in the name of pete has become of my proud, free southern neighbor??

Is there a defense fund?

hi doug only one post today , sorry if i caused anymore trouble for you yesterday , my intentions were to share some for you, that they were giving you, i aint skeered, you dont have any reason to be either the evidence is clear. these men are murdering thieves who have seized the American peoples white house and they have no intention of returning it in any salveable shape, well i will keep this short and say that my truck is warmed up and i have signs painted tear down this wall of secrecy mr bush or we will make a citizens arrest, i hope everyone will drop what they are doing and come stand with me. i have a thought i would like to share with you , and i am sure most of you probably realize this too but here it is.whats so secret about a terror investigation unless you dont want them caught think damn it, if you want to stop something you lay all the facts out on the table so some simple dumbass can tell the experts what to think

one more thought i would like to repeat .Terrorism according to websters mass organized ruthlessness: torture as defined malicious ruthlessness patriot act says you cannot help fund groups that practice this, so whats that going to do to the treasury of the usa? look people the usa will be broke in a few weeks anyway , you know worthless, like needin welfare, like screaming help ,lets stop them now so reasonable minds can save this mess bush and his psycho felons from iran contra nitemare have created.

Doug;
Is it too soon to start counting the days until an unidentifiable leader of an undisclosed country has served out the remainder of his or her term of an unidentifiable office and an undisclosed country might finally be able to assess what needs to be done to clean up an unimaginable mess that may or may not have been created by unknown individuals?

Does anyone have the number for the A.C.L.U.? Sic em.

Well done, Doug. The sooner America wakes up and smells the furnace the better.

Could we find out more through the freedom of information act?

Brilliant.

Hey Dick Cheney. Go F&ck yourself.

A piece that revisits Walt Kelly and Pogo...without picture-panels that could not be printed as part of this story for reasons that cannot, obviously, be disclosed.

We have indeed met the enemy.

Doug,
Your article is brilliant.
My prayers are with you and yours.

Doug,
Your article is brilliant.
My prayers are with you and yours.

As always, well done Doug. I think you have illustrated our current situation, with the present administration BRILLIANTLY. Terrifying ain't it??

Damn.
This type of politcally motivated crap (read as blackmail) is stunning.

I'm wondering, even if the lying, cheating, law breaking, foresworn, SOB and his puppetmaster were both impeached today, I'm not sure that this mind boggling level of damage could be totally undone.

SO! Let's all go down to the drugstore, and flash gestapo issued photo I.D of an approved format so that we can buy some over the counter allergy medicatation, shall we?

Please tell that "employee of a federal agency that cannot be revealed" that I agree completely with you and if that is a crime, tell him or her also that I may be found every Saturday at the corner of Third and Market Streets between noon and 1:00 PM in Lewisburg, PA standing vigil in opposition to the Bush administration and its various wars.

Dear Owner of the undisclosed website required by law to remain anonymous under penalties as yet undisclosed and protected under the non-+provisions of the act which heretofore must also remain secret.

B R I L L I A N T !!

I have now become more convinced than ever that unamed individuals who have received no official guidance to not officially scan or look into the undisclosed website and the non-existant writings of individuals therein which cannot be protected under the first amendment of the constitution, the oft refferred to as "just a GD piece of paper" trashed under secret executive order in the dark of night at a meeting in an undisclosed location that never officially happened. ...could now face anything from harrassment to prosecution as determined by un-named individuals at locations that cannot be identified under new Justice department and NSA guidelines.

Translation: Someone's bringing the cards, who wants to bring the sandwiches and the soft drinks.

Possibly, members of the undisclosed website, now under scrutiniy from un-named individuals scanning from undisclosed locations could get the first choice of rooms at the new camps currently under construction at other undisclosed locations by unnamed companies who were let no-bid contracts for these non-existant facilities at undiscloed bid.

Yippie!!

And, now they've all retired to "spend more time with their family." ;o}

Indeed, brilliant writing.

If fiction, it is the best of the best.

If factual, then we should all be in fear, nay, but rather enraged, at the injustice in our country.

The last line of Frances Scott Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner," our national anthem, is:

"O'er the land of the FREE and the home of the brave!"

Perhaps, "we the people," have forgotten that, what "free" means.

Never were we perfect, as a nation, but "free" is much more of what we once were, than what we now are, and are fast becoming.

Doug, hand my name over. I would love to meet one of these dawn of the dead types. And I love you Keyser Soze......"Hey Dick...f&ck yourself".
Deserves repeating.

No empire stands forever and ours is crumpling. You are a brave man Doug. Tail gunner Joe terrorized people for years and ruin lives before people realized what an ass he was...

Doug,

If your site is finally shut out, we need to have a team -in place- of your supporters organized to help spread the word.
It might be advantageous for you to preannounce and post your messages on other sites supporting the constitution - ahead of time.

They might try, but I doubt they can or would put us all in jail.
Of course, I might be wrong.
But it is worth a try..

Makes you wonder who they are investigating. Remember, Rule By Fear.

Doug,

Just a note to let you know we'll be sharing this tonight (Tues., 7 March) on "Head-On With Bob Kincaid."

Whatever the status of the piece is, it describes(clearly?) the onion-like layers of secrecy and cyncism that conceal the tumor at the heart of our government.

Well done!

Doug, you do indeed know how to turn a phrase. You are a beacon of light in a dark tunnel of madness. Thank you.

Print it on vellum with the title 'Epitaph?' and include A.R. Yue's translation on the bottom. Charge $10 a pop. I'll take 10.

And who thought only the Brits had serious, tongue in cheek, humor. This is just like Harry Potter [(r) etc.] with "He who must not be named." Doug could have also done a redacted version with the whole page black.

Now, who from the Ministry of Truth (1984) will be modifying the electrons for Monday 6 March 2006 to say "The government delivered a lovely bouquet of flowers" instead of something from the manure lagoon.

Excellent! This piece should be studied in literature classes side-by-side with the works of Jonathan Swift. The Bush Administration has great potential for immortality in the literary world of satire. Future generations will think it all just as far-fetched as so many today consider "Gulliver's Travels" and "A Modest Proposal". But even for them it will continue to have great entertainment value.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Sooooooo ... these things of which you allude to ... they would be properly catagorized as known knowns, known unknowns, or unknown unknowns?

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know" -- guess who

Summary:

So for people who haven't read your site before, you were issued a FBI nation security letter requiring you to divulge a bunch of information and you reported that you were given the letter which violates some unconstitutional law this gestapo passed.

And now they threatened to arrest you for doing so which apparently sufficiently scared you into writing that prose above.

When are we gonna kick out the pack of terrorists running this country?

Moreover, when are we gonna kick out all the senators and representatives whose yellow spines have allowed this B.S. to take place?

This reminds me of the clever librarian who reported to her board every week that "There have been no requests for information from the government this week."

Until one week when she did not include the statement in her report.

Of course the law prevents her from reporting on any requests.

So, is this like "Double Secret Probation"? The Bush Administration has only itself to blame for giving Doug the fodder to make it look mean and ridiculous. Kind of like Col Klink of "Hogan's Heroes".

Thanks, Doug. Give 'em hell.

lol
Thought it was Judy Miller for NYT.

In December 2005, CNN reported that Library Connection of CT was the plaintiff in an ACLU case against Ashcroft et al on the Constitutionality of the NSL.

Did the government shut down CNN for revealing this national security secret?

It's time for all true patriots to step forward in the name of true national security and reveal the receipt of these letters.

If they've sent out 1,000 letters, let's see them try to prosecute 1,000 cases. Let's see if the public will stand for such Gestapo-like tactics. It's time for us all to call the Bush administration's bluff, before it's too late.

COUNT ME IN!

Doug -

Hopefully, your style of exposing the moronic NSL gestapo will become the new battle cry of latter day Paul Reveres. Everyone who receives such an assinine letter should copy your style and then publicize it.

Hey it sure would be nice if those keystone cops at the unidentified federal agency would spend more time figuring out who it is out there who attacked the US with weapons-grade anthrax and less time worrying about the political viewpoints of someone who happens to disagree with the idiotic ignorant despotic Bush.

I have never posted a comment on your site before but I have been a faithful daily reader for a very long time. This particular piece is brilliant and so very frightening. I am the mother of a marine deploying on a second tour in Iraq and I have lived in abject terror for seven months and will have the same experience for the next seven months. Not a day passes that this administration doesn't knock the collective wind out of this country. Keep up the good fight. If they ask, by all means give them my name!

COUNT ME IN TOO:

AS I say, I will be very interested to see if somehow I hit the jackpot when I travel to the USA in the next weeks to see how many questions, dirty looks, searches etc I am subject too. I know that one is probably the luck of the draw but since I will be flying alot we shall see.

I will report back on my return...unless of course I am not allowed to return but given a suite of cells at the newest facility that isn't being built and doesn't exist....or perhaps they take away all sharp objects like pens and pencils and laptops, heretofore declared WMD as they have the real power to end this farce.

What is remembered, lives.

I remember.

Just guessing, but the way email and the Internet works, I imagine a whole lot of people will. ;)

With undisclosed numbers of persons being put on the no-fly list, maybe it is time to buy stock in Greyhound. . . hummmm??? Thanks Doug, we are all with you.

Perhaps you missed it, but in a secret hearing, our president was impeached, tried, and removed from office. He was then pardoned by the acting president, and reinstated by congress. The Republicans felt he was the only one capable of running a war on terror and the Democrats figured he offers them the best opportunity to regain control of the government.

This conversation did not take place.

We sincerely hope that our news contributes to understanding your delightful interaction with the minions of our government, hwo know what is right and good for you.

Have a nice day.

Hi Doug,
As one who has experienced a home visit by the feds I just wanted to thank you for giving us all such a brilliant heads up. Having experienced said (unnamed) contact I have found the most difficult part is when you have to call all of your friends, family, business contacts, etc. to inform them that they too may soon be sharing in such (unnamed)attention: The love that cannot be spoken by name.
For those of you who have not had this
enlightening experience, it is rather like having to call everyone you have slept with to tell them that you have exposed them to a sexually transmitted disease, and a viral one at that, for it is possible that it might "revisit" you throughout your lifetime. You can't take a shot of penicillin and make the federal government go away.
Thanks for letting us know, to quote Laurie Anderson, that "we are all going down together."
I salute you "Oh Captain! My Captain!"
(From "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman)
When all is said and done, from our homes or from our graves, we will wear this experience as a badge of honor.
Most Sincerely,

Dear Doug,

Laughing and crying; that's where you're leaving us.

I just hope you're not the canary for us coal miners.

I wonder how long it will be before they start coming after folks like myself, who are political cartoonists?

Another question: Does that Homeland Security Department letter come with a nifty frame? or is the Frame the one you get when they toss you in the slammer for nothing?

Oh wait is that a national secret that I just revealed? oh darn.

Just a comment from an unknown reader at an unknown location:
It is rumored (or not) that I may (or may not) have read the unknown story on the unknown web-site at an unknown date and time. Fortunately for me (or not) I have an unknown medical condition (or not)diagnosed by an unknown doctor at an unknown time which causes me to unknowingly forget what I thought I unknowingly may or may not have read. Fortunately (or not) this condition may (or may not) be called "Karl Rovitist" and that unknowingly doing anything (or not) has already been declared (or not)as a legal defense for anything I may (or may not) have done. So see Doug don't worry, be happy, or not. If you need clarification (or not) you can let me know (or not)and I'll get back with you (or not).----Easy

McCarthy was right about everything and the Venona transcripts, among other pieces of intelligence released long afterwards, prove such.

The Commies are still all around the circles of power, except now that they have a tighter grip on the levers of power, they have elected to go on the offensive everywhere, and are neo-cons.

Well said Doug. As an outsider,(non-American)I must say I am appalled at the happenings in your once proud land. Not saying that we are not sliding into the same type of abyss, but the veracity of your goon sqaud and its captain redefines the word 'uncalculating'.Kudos to you for your stance and I echo the replies of many when I say I stand with you and support you in your fight against this evil enemy within.

Doug,
Excellent success! We should all adopt what one of the people that commented to you said and make bumper stickers with that on it. below.

The Constitution is NOT a piece of paper, it is America, and it is what we Americans must hold in the highest regard, above any form of Government, with Pride and Determination, till death do we part.

I feel much the same as Porter Gross. It is my aim and it is my hope that we will witness a grand jury investigation with grand jurors being tortured until they return a true bill of indictment on everyone we tell them to indict. I believe the safety of this nation and the people of this country deserve nothing less.

The 40% that are giving Bush a good rating are the sheeple that get their news from Fox and other corporate owned media and who have been brainwashed into thinking that Bush is right and is a good president (which his not). My sister is like that. She agrees with Bush trying to prosecute reporters who are writing the truth that have not been bought out by corporate Amerika. She and her husband who is an engineer own several homes. They have not been affected by the loss of jobs in this country and that is why I believe they still support Bush. A lot of people in this country have a very selfish attitude, if it does not affect their lives they don’t care about it. Every night I pray that someday they will the truth before it’s too late. Never stop fitting Dough. You help keep my faith that there are still reporters out there who have not sold out.

Makes perfectly good sense to me. After all I am the puppet master.

If this is what America has come to, and it is under the Bush administration, count me in as a contributer to the defense fund.

After reading your post for the second time, I am not laughing. This is no joke. Doug, when you said in a post a month or so ago that you were shutting down The Rant, I feared that they had gotten to you. I'm glad that you are back. But I am fearful that one day you will disappear into your beautiful Virginia mountains. How can this have come to pass?

I wonder when they're coming after the rest of us. After all, if we read the undisclosed story about the unidentified document, we surely are guilty of some unnamed crime.

p.s. I too, am wondering about an alternate website (just in case).

Everyone must now engage in the time-honored act of civil disobedience of laws that make Kafka look like Blackstone or Paine.
Get me copies of any of these General Warrants, and I will publically present them to anyone, and let the Gestapo/Brownshits come get me. I have no importance, and some stir time will give me some rest. I'll try to let you all know where the star chamber proceedings are to be held. I prefer the rack to the fingernail pullers, as I've lost height with age. As Braveheart said to an ealier royal tyrant, Freedom!

Doug, I've never posted here before but consider my comments "civil disobedience" against this outrageous attack on your site and freedom of speech. Keep up the good work!

I GET IT!! Tuesday at the National Vaudeville Theater, or otherwise known as another day at Disneyland On The Potomac.

If the jackasses make push come to shove, you might want to move the physical location of your web server to Toronto. Also get a Canadian email so you can "name names" if you must.

HI YALL, Gary called and said that,"if they want parades and flowers lets build 3333 8x7 cages and rent some flat bed trailers and give em one, all across America in every city.We will throw them flowers!!!! Come to D.C. now and be heard, plan on staying.

He also said DickCheney would APPROVE of this last post.LOL

How long will it be 'til Red Dawn comes? If I haven't got this right, it's been coming for many years. Did not Nixon work under/with McCarthy when labeling people sent some our best overseas? They had tried to avoid being Amerikkanzed into the sort of wimps who now govern us!
In the times during which I have been gainfully employed in this place, which asked "Give me your tired and your poor...your huddled masses yearning to be free," I have done so well that the bureaucrats over me publicly applauded my good work, and sought to/succeeded in defaming
me.
There is no applause for doing a bangup job anymore. Ergo: The results of a half-century of elections that have proven that mediocrity and phoney charisma qualify one for leadership.
It has been going this way, and becoming more productively successful for every deteriorating generation...accellerating the demise of substance and promoting a deepening mediocrity into which we as a nation sink deeper and deeper.
GWB et al, as scions of the 5%, have been aided by their patriarchial mentors to become our leaders, but, alas, their later generations have also become involved in the excesses promoted upon humanity. Drugs and sex are not new to our nation, but when the 5% savor their own mischevious SOMA, they need [as the one now there] to have a D.C. in D.C. manipulate them correctly. When that fails, 'a shot in the dark' becomes a shot not to mention.
I fear for the country into which I was born, and now see passing into the mindless preoccupation with mediocrity, mindlessness, power and depravity that ruined Greek culture in their classical, democratic period. The bottom line is that when the values of the majority are those of the GWB sort...skimming off the top... we are in trouble. If the majority are not moral, where are we?
I HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT TO BECOME AS ANONYMOUS AS ME! We need more plain-talking statesmen as you would not consider yourself to be, and are on the way to becoming. I wish I had more than my words to help. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but the pen may be quashed by misbegotten power. And art may become debauched as was the Bauhaus with Klee and others when a rejected watercolorist...who was good in his own way...came to power. His name was Adolph Hitler.

hi doug dontpub, but if you like this idea run with it please.write op ed using some of the best comments and make political comparisons to founding fathers , make up a right wing slanted title, by the named ones that will agree to put it on the line, use a ghost writer and ap ed and see if you can slip one through. thanks gary

when the ussr dissolved where do you think all the ex KGB AGENTS went,thats right they are now consultants at dhs on the USSA USSA USSA USSA. DO YOUR RESEARCH , THEY ARE THERE AND AT HERITAGE THINK TANK

Doug,

I'm fairly new to your site but I think you're just the man to give the scumbags running this country the hell-on-earth they deserve.
If this Republic survives to see 2008, would you consider running for president? I'm not kidding...WE NEED YOU!

there is only One who can give them hell on earth, and it is coming soon, take a look at prophecies.org book 12, and get scared.

Thus far, since I happened upon this CHB article last evening, there would appear two ways to consider the first and second articles, followed by the rather large number of comments in response. (I don't know if the 24+hr response here is normal, but I've looked at a disturbingly large amount of internet, and haven't really seen anything quite like this to-date. At least not in such a site further removed from the other large choices in the A'x Jones'en web smorgasbord, to say little about the reciprocal world of psycho O'Really Land).

At first glance, the 'story' laid out in yesterdays Rant, would hardly seem implausible in light of the last 5 years. Yet a number of respondents have wisely challenged the authenticity of the reported event. Some have requested proof (even if redacted, 'in-kind'), while still others have even challenged Doug for outright fraud.

I'll first consider "fraud", or in such a case as this, I would sooner suspect "artistic license illustrating a point". If completely fraudulent, then Doug is simply a fool for playing around with any reliability or respectability he might hope to lean upon for his near and long future. At least in any career outside of US Government. He probably knows that.

However, if only so fraudulent in time and place, it's hardly deceptive should he be illustrating a most real and plausible scenario happening right now to other people (if only according to Bush himself, and his repressed AG (it's about the honesty, not about the sex)). Thus in the worst, as fraud is concerned, artistic license is still quite plausible, and hardly inappropriate. Quite acceptable I might add, considering the "artistic license" currently employed by the Powers That Be when they're queried for the truth.

So to the persons calling such material "fraud" and/or "fantasy".... I say, with a booming voice, "fuck you, TOO". Where the hell have you been all these damned years? Now you demand proof? Now you call out, "Cassandra"? Now you demand the heads of charlatans and rabble-rousers? You're probably the same kind of scum-shits that have been apologizing for kleptocracy and electoral shenanigans all along. You too then, deserve to have a bold middle finger shoved in your face, right now.

So then to consider "plausible", "likely" or, "it actually happened".... I say, "Big surprise" and "Whoopee!" with all the sarcasm I can muster. For those of us who've been cutting our teeth for YEARS, beginning with fiat currency, individual sovereignty vs. State Sovereignty, constitutional republics in order to limit government overstep, and the hypnotic and highly addictive substance known as "Power".... this purported NSL is completely REAL. The kind of "real" that people like Mr. Bush and his brand of Power Sycophants dream of day and night. The kind of "real" they wish for, where We The People should just sit the fuck down and trust them to do what's best for us.

I stupidly wore a uniform under Bush 1 before I came to any real sense. I wretched during Clinton as I really opened my eyes to government waist and stupendous malfeasance. I boldly told people they were absolute fools if they couldn't see Little Bushy manipulating The Faithful to gain a power base. I was completely dumb struck at the hypocrisy, and "popularity", of using terrorism to fight terrorism. The slippery slope has been icy smooth under our "Democracy" toboggan waxed for speed. Didn't you know?

Yes, I checked my lead shooter last night. Yes, I took a quick glance at my canned goods supply. Yes, I know how silly I look to many of my dear friends.... at least to those still brain-dead on TeeVee and Shopping Malls. But even if I'm still just out-right wrong, or "insane", that a new dark age is short on the horizon for my country, so what? At least I'm not living in the complete fantasy world where eternal War could ever equal everlasting Peace.

Prudence and History are absolutely screaming at me. If your ears aren't ringing too... you're just an "F" student. A "Fuck You" is all you'll ever get, all you'll ever earn.

Sincerely, Erin S. Myers (an Intelligence Community "reject" for his "delusional thinking". Most likely for thinking that authority is questionable, and for reading tin-foil websites like this, and probably because I said we were heading for Civil War and/or Revolution on these very same grounds long before "9/11" ever became such a popular catch-phrase). Really, it sucks to have been so spot-on all those years ago. Shouldn't I be pining for some TeeVee right now? Fuck you!

P.S. To all the Federal ICs and not-so-federal ICs who waste any time looking at any of my electronic dialogue, I say; Get to work, you lazy good for nothings. The Enemy of the World, using terror at every turn, is now hold-up in all three branches of this here United States Federal Government. While the money tap is still flowing, I suggest you use our zillion-dollar Mega-Super-System to OUT the traitors you took an oath to do. Otherwise at least, if the comments above are ANY indication of the wind's direction.... a most bloody and unfortunate turn of events will unfold, carrying us all away with it. If you can get, and/or are holding The Knowledge to expose this cabal, I'd suggest that you earn your wage. Sooner than later would be nice, thank you. You'll be permanently out of a job otherwise.

IF I WERE A POLITICAL CARTOONIST LOOKING FOR AN IDEA , WHICH I DOUBT YOU NEED ANY, LOL!! BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THE GILLIGAN EPISODE WITH LARRY STORK? WHY NOT DRAW ONE WITH BUSH GIVING CANNED SPEECH ABOUT HOW THE NATION IS GREAT PEOPLE ALL ARE WITH HIM AND WE ARE WINNING, YOU KNOW THE SAME SPECH WE HAVE HEARD FOR 5.5 EXCRUCUATING YEARS. THEN SHOW THE BACKSIDE OF THE WHITE HOUSE WITH MILLIONS OF PROTESTORS AROUND THE WHOLE CITY. IF I COULD DRAW I WOULD

SECRECY .Why would a country that for the next projected 10 years and over the last 10 years will have spent more on national defense than all other countries combined in our entire history.Secrecy and chaos are two of the things that the prince of darkness covets. Maybe Mr. Bush really is royalty?

Oy!! It's giving me an aneurysm! Thinking about it is giving the aneurysm a migraine...

BTW, Mr Bush is royal: a royal PITA.

Good Piece Doug,

Hey Dick Cheney ! You shot your friend because you drank to much alllllllcohol! Ya Big dipstick!Be a MAn an face up to it. OOPS! That's right. You have to take responsibility for your wrong doings to become a Man.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

The Rev. Martin Niemoller wrote those words in Germany in 1945. An early supporter of Adolph Hitler, he realized, too late, his terrible error.

Doug,
Curiosity is killing me. How do I say this? If an unnamed attorney was to respond to an NSL letter, would you be able to publish excerpts of said letter provided it did not violate attorney/client
priviledge and of course not reveal to whom the letter is addressed. In other words, just the good stuff.

You are a man after my own heart Doug! What an absolute fine presentation. "You said what, to who for how many pesos"? LOL
What I'm wondering...if you have a kennel full of pups and you feed them well and make them feel secure and cared for and then give them a piece of steak one day and yank it away, what happens?

I know such things as goodness and love still exist when I see the courage I see here on this web site. Thank you for all that you do for us.

I would love for Mr. Thompson to one day be on the Ed Norris show on WHFS radio in Baltimore. I know that he would be able to educate hundreds of thousands of listeners.

If interested, please e-mail me back. The entire world needs to know the truth about what is going on and I've never read a more accurate portrayal of the pure evil of this administration than in articles originally published at this wonderful site. Thank you...

So sad, cause it's so true. Thanks for putting it that way.

There are independent thinking people, former Republicans, former Democrats, Libertarians, Constitution party members, and others who have totally given up on the process of voting at all because of the plainly evident fraud involved.
There are those on the left who believe that they have a lock on the truth and are the sole watchmen for this messed up world, yet there are others who have been warning of this corruption for much longer, the prophets of old and their successors today.
Chuck Baldwin's article pulls no punches and indicts the corruption in the churches which has permitted this insanity, yet history shows that the mainstream religious leadership is just as corrupt as the secular leadership. God has not changed His standard, but those who claim to follow God have consistently corrupted and perverted their private interpretation of His message to support and promote their positions and power.
God's message has been consistent, Love one another, even to the point of sacrificing your own life for others. That pretty much eliminates the antisocial behaviour which permeates this lawless world today. Problem is that some would eliminate God and His rules claiming that the only law is the Survival of the Fittest which only encourages bullies. The evil in this world is manifested in selfishness, whether it be greed, abuse of power, abuse of others sexually, or any other perversion.
As some have mentioned, our forefathers got rid of one King George, yet everyone serves some master, and those same forefathers rallying cry was "No king but King Jesus"
He will have no more use for the hypocrite "Christians" than for any other evildoers, for He warned in Matthew:
7:22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

This is the rat that shot the lawyer that lied to the grand jury that tried to indict that caught someone else who told on someone else when the box of e-mails that nobody wrote turned up in the White House that protects the liars and hunts down the Whistleblowers who would reveal the traitors who call themselves patriots and who wrap themselves in flags and bibles and are too stupid to comprehend science like half of America that lives in the country that still thinks it's a democracy but is really the fascist state that Bush built. Okay. Clear now.

I was an Infantry Officer, then an Intelligence
Officer, and finished 35 years service to our
Republic as an Attorney in a Federal law enforcement agency.. I'd resign my office before
getting involved in this jack-booted thug coercion scheme..
The current group of federal attorneys seems to have forgotten that they swore allegiance to the Constitution (and the People). Rather, they act as though they swore an oath of personal loyalty unto death to their Fuhrer, Dubya Bush..

I heard this read on Air America while driving and amost laughed myself into a ditch.
An instant classic. May the force be with you and beware of things that go bump in the night.

I heard this on Tom Hartman's show today and came to your site. As soon as I could I copied the article and sent to my Senators. Which both of them voted against the renewal of the Patriot Act. How scary. I'm sure we'll all be investigated now.

Thank you for being a real american.

Dear Doug,

I am a lawyer in Australia and your article has been received by us with wry amusement. But we have similar legislation here.

So please, may I have permission to do 'further' copies of your articles: the unknown but suspected one and the latter known one of 7.3.06. If you know what I mean?

The 'dissapearing' legislation here is for a minimun of 14 days. So when we return we will have to try and convince our colleagues that we were not away at all, that we were here and they are therefore mad for missing us.

Best of luck.

BA.

Brave, brilliant, frightening piece of journalism, sir. Would it scare you if I said I'm thisclose to falling down on my knees and worshipping you?

After reading of a few concerns here about someone being "disappeared" I agree with some who say we need some alternatives or other ways to stick together or help each other. If we don't, it might be too late. They are hoping we are taken off guard and they are going to FIRST go for not only the ones most read but also the ones that get closer to the truth. They know Doug gets information from the inside and it is driving them crazy.

I wish I knew how to do this but I don't. You realize how important Freedom of Assembly has become to us on line. It's the only way we have of getting information. I have no doubt that they are going to go after the ones like Doug to cut off our "supply."

Someone needs to come up with something because I think we're in some big trouble. We are going to need each other and continue getting the truth out some way.

Doug, if you are reading and have some ideas, let's hear them. Do you have all of our email addresses? and do you give them to someone else so that someone has a list of all of us?

Someone mentioned Harry Potter and He Who Shall Not be Named. Perhaps we could get our own owls so we can send messages to each other, and some wicked broomsticks. We might need some magic in order to figure out how we can stick together. And of course continue to get the truth.

Scary doesn't even begin to cover this.

Sharin in California

heres a post on an aol chat board that i couldnt pass up

THERE ARENT 1400 PEOPLE IN TEXAS THAT WOULD HAVE VOTED DELAY MUSH LESS 10000 AFTER 14 % NO WAY/ THE ONLY WAY TO GET THESE FASCISTS OUT SHORT OF A REVOLUTION IS TO GO DOOR TO DOOR OBTAINING NOTARIZED PETITIONS OF REGISTERED VOTERS CONCENTRATE ON UNAFFILIATED WHO WILL PLEDGE TO VOTE NEITHER DEM OR REPUB . THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. BENFRANK.NET WHO I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH , OTHER THAN READING SOME ARTICLES , HAS SOME GOOD PEOPLE FROM THE MILITARY WHO ARE FOR THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTIONS AND DOING TO DESPOTS AND USURPISTS WHAT WE DID TO SADDAMS SONS. DONT DEPEND ON EVERYONE ELSE , FIND A NOTARY AND GO DOOR TO DOOR , WE WILL HAVE 200 MILLION PEOPLE SAYING NO INCUMBENTS AT ALL NO DEMS NO REPUBS THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF GRASSROOTS CANDIDATES TO PICK ONE OUT AND SOLIDIFY WITH .

DID YOU HEAR WHERE THE EMAILS WERE ?NEXT TO COCKEYESVILLE MD. MAKES SENSE NOW HUH!! LOL OLNEY

Is this the land of the free?

Thanks everyone for the support and kind words. I've been overwhelmed by the email response as well.

At the moment we're in a holding pattern. I appreciate the many offers for help but I think we've got this covered. I don't believe in using this web site to plead for money or support and I wouldn't be doing this if I couldn't afford it. It's our job to put the news out there and let readers decide for themselves. That's what Capitol Hill Blue has been doing since 1994 and I plan to keep doing it as long as I can.

Doug

Wow, as a practiced master of weasel-words and governmental babble-gab I learned valuable points from your tretise. Keep up the good words.

Doug,

I have read your March 6th and March 7th articles with great interest. It is obvious that our new gestapo government is planning to crack down on anyone and everyone who disagrees with its illegal policies. Several of your readers have commented that it would be impossible for them to arrest every person who disagrees with its policies. I say, "Bu!!sh!t!" The FEMA already has internment camps in place, with additional locations rapidly being prepared, to hold "terrorists." Unfortunately, the definition of "terrorists" has been redefined to include any person in the above category.

My advice to you is similar to that given to Forrest Gump: "Run, Doug, Run!" Do it quietly, do it completely, and do it NOW! Take yourself to an "undisclosed location" outside the territorial limits of Bush&Co. I ask you this in my own self-interest, as well as the interest of the entire nation. We NEED you, Doug, and others like you, so that we can continue to get accurate, truthful information about the obscenities the United States Government is perpetrating on its own people. And, you can take my word for it, it is NOT possible to report on these activities from within the four cinderblock walls that they obviously have planned for you. Yes, Anonymous but still Truth 101, they DO take your pens and pencils away from you; and they have complete control over what leaves the premises; if it doesn't fit their exact specifications, it doesn't make it out.

I know this from experience. Once I discovered that they were investigating me, my friends advised me to do the same thing. I thought, "They can't do that to me," but I was wrong. I delayed leaving, and it ended up costing me over a year of incarceration, followed by several years of "psychological counseling" (read this is overt brainwashing) before I was finally able to arrange my untimely departure from the web that had been woven around me.

Get out now. Find a hole to hide in, one which can't be breached by the minions of Bush&Co, and most of all, KEEP PRINTING THE TRUTH. We need you, we thank you for what you have done, but above all, we'll miss you when that black day arrives that Capital Hill Blues just suddenly responds with a "404, page not found" error.

my name is G.W.Bush and I approve this message
Signed: Thugs for NWO.Gov

yeah, yeah, yeah...Been hearing about your trouble and whining for so long now, i could`nt care less anymore...sorry about that...
Just put that f###er Bush out of his misery, why don`t you!

Doug, Thank you for giving 'em hell and giving me a reason to live. I just had to post something so that if the SOB's come after us, I'll be there too.

Doug: Un-Said with clarity and pointed articulation. Rumsfeld would understand you perfectly.

As long as we still have a sense of humor about the fascists who've taken control of our Republic, all is not lost. Keep up your efforts for truth and justice, We the People will ultimately prevail!

I want my name on this list which I bet is being looked at. I love this country. She is not perfect but she is good and when she opens her eyes and sees what is being done to our liberties there is going to be a lot of fall out. I just hope she opens her eyes sooner rather than later.

Read your bill of rights people. This administration is walking all over them!!!

War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength

A few years back, some douchebag asked me "who is the best future predictor now, Ann Rand or George Orwell?" I thought it was a pretty stupid question at the time, Rand being barely more than an ideological romance novelist. After reading your article, I recommend that Orwell be elevated to the status of "mindboggelingly accurate predictor of the godawful future."

Doug you are a freaking genuis. A true test of character is not backing down AND keeping a sense of humor under fire. Kudos to you. They will have to build a gulag the size of the State of Texas (I understand they have already started) to hold all of us. Respectfully, Agent Scully

Doug you are a freaking genuis. A true test of character is not backing down AND keeping a sense of humor under fire. Kudos to you. They will have to build a gulag the size of the State of Texas (I understand they have already started) to hold all of us. Respectfully, Agent Scully

Doug! Thanks for telling it like it is.

I'm more afraid of being dragged out of bed and held captive by OUR government, than I am of some terrorist blowing me up!

i now know iam not alone.

Doug,

After viewing many comments in both Rant stories, it seems a misconception has evolved.
Let me begin with a few simple realistic scenarios, encircling the discussions of Martial Law. The objective of Martial Law,
is too implement aggressive Law and Order in its entirety.
Now, What many feel may turn into a Gestapo type control over America under the heading of Martial Law, may not be that far off.
This would entail maximum impact in order to be cost effective, with a result of profit gains in the very near future.
How would it unfold? Initially, a very large population would be the target, i.e. large cities. We must have an understanding when dealing with this Administration and the Corporate backers when we speak of Martial Law. Nothing is done, unless
expectations of massive profits are the result.

When a Country falls under Martial Law for control and profits, it must never be done to allow for failure by impacting a nation via smaller towns etc...

Therefore, the initial confrontation with Martial Law that people in America will face, will be those within bigger cities.
The profits are gained by having a numerous amount of manpower available to the corporate structure via work camps etc...

Allowing small wage employment will fall under the privileged worker program, whereas a member of society (in the specific city) in good standings will be allowed to move somewhat freely and be employed at a minimal wage. Smaller businesses and
other unconnected corporations, will pay (tax) the government a fee for the right to stay in business and utilize the Governments worker program.

Declaring a successful implementation of Martial Law requires a public need for protection. This covert disguise of protection will most likely come as a result of the current bird flu, as it makes its way into the population of America.

This sort of public protection allows the Government to conduct Martial Law without red flags popping up everywhere, signaling to America that it is actually a Government takeover and that the citizens should be running for the hills, so to speak.

As you should know, no matter what the reason, once Martial Law becomes a reality in a specific city, it will become permanent and will not be meant to protect anyone. The fear that Martial Law will envelope this entire nation is simply unrealistic and will never happen. It must remain a profitable endeavor, and this entails utilizing the Governments resources for maximum results.
This is not to say that attempts to spread Martial Law throughout the land will not occur, but simply that it will take time before the smaller populated areas experience the Governmental authority.

I'm simply trying to state that we, as Americans, must be a bit more focused to the realities of Martial Law. Pay close attention to what is currently going on within your cities that you reside. Schools will be the first to alert attention to outbreaks of viruses, by announcing to parents that an outbreak has occurred at your local school. The virus mentioned will not be bird flu, but rather another unusual occurrence of common or not so common virus etc...

A deliberate attempt by our Government to allow the spread of the bird flu virus will be made. This is a must. I doubt I would be wrong in stating the virus is already in America, and spreading.

We must take advantage of the Internet and your viewers, by spreading the message that America is under attack. The Governments actions with the Patriot Act is proof of this. We need to get the message to the Major Media that America is heading for Martial Law by the many viewers posting on as many web sites as possible, how Martial Law is about to impact America.
Your readers will also need to create their own Web sites making these statements.
In order too not be ignored by the Major Networks, a massive bombardment on the net, making statements of the inevitable approaching Martial Law is about to impact America in 2006. This discussion will need to be everywhere throughout the Internet, in order to bring awareness to America, that the Media can no longer ignore.

We can Rant all we want, and accomplish absolutely nothing, or we can take action and help control our future.
We all know America will not escape the impact of the bird flu virus, it will be publicly announced within months that it is in America, due to the bird migration.
The best message is always the simplest to understand. I ask you and all your readers to have stickers/bumper stickers made up saying this >> (Bird Flu = Martial Law).
We must bring the message to America of the impending Martial Law that this Country is headed for.
The American public must be able to relate the connection between the two, in order to become aware. If we wait until it happens, it will be too late.
The Networks will not and cannot ignore a massive exposure of such a saying (Bird Flu = Martial Law).
Our only hope is to inform the public ahead of the Governments plans and by doing so, we have a chance of blocking a Tyrannical Government controlled future.
I ask you the reader, the American Patriot, to unite and show initiative by going out and have window stickers etc... made up with this saying >> (Bird Flu = Martial Law). You all want to join together to take a stand and bring awareness to
America, let this be your first step in Uniting together for a cause. Lets make sure America does NOT experience Martial Law because of this virus, the Bird Flu!

You go, Doug! Thank you for standing up for the courage of your convictions! We'll all stand together or we'll fall separately. I've written two op-eds for my local paper pleading for people to come forward and demand impeachment. I've got hundreds of signatures going to DC on the 20th to my Congressman (on the third anniversary of my arrest for protesting the war), and we're asking our state legislature to also call for impeachment. We may be cellmates yet!

Well, now, the Criminally Insane Anonymous is busy "reclassifying" 55,000 "unclassified" documents at the National Archives Records Administration and the Fucking Big Indian is getting ready to gulag Doug Thompson for farting on the Enabling Act, er, Patriot Act. Sort of like you can't let Scooter Libby look at the classified Presidents Daily Brief because his security clearance has been revolked but his Jury will have access, won't they?
Here's how they handled the top secret crap at my trial. First, they cleared everybody for "rediculous". All the Jury members, who were already cleared, the judge, the attorneys and the armed guards.

Then they (CIA) scared the shit out of everybody by testifying that information disclosed in testimony before an open court, including members of the press, would affect National Security and seriously affect the prosecution of the war in Vietnam! Can you imagine? Testimony stopping a war?

And this was at the beginning of the trial before the first witness opened his mouth!

So, you can just imagine what undisclosed information at Doug Thompson's trial will be used to compel the court to go into closed session for a "fair" trial.

George Orwell would be proud.

Bests,
John

All I have to say is FCUK BSUH!!

Joseph Heller would be delighted/appalled. Nohing so pure since Catch-22, and from the same line of Milos.

Doug,

So if I read between the lines, they threatened to throw you in an unidentified can until whenever?

Dubya gets angry when people talk smack about him that they can back up...I pray every night the goons who have looted our country are held accountable in front of the whole world. It is the only way America will ever regain a shred of respectibility again.

I HATE them for what they have done to my country-may GOD forgive them, as I cannot...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, OR OF THE PRESS;or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Did I miss something while I napped?

Right now, in an upholstered hole deep beneath Virginia, a half-dozen government clowns are desperately poring over your prose in an effort to figure out how to charge you with something for writing it. They will fail. Keep at it, Brother, and the truth will set us all free!

There was never any doubt in my mind that it would come to this. In April 2001, George's storm troopers turned up at my door on a Saturday afternoon because of an email that I had written to a Florida legislator & sent copies to Jeb & George. They pretended that they wanted to talk to me about threatening the pRes when all I had done was tell off the Florida hate mongering legislator. What they were really questioning me about was what they called "your terrorist activities, your terrorist training camps, your arsenal, etc....."

I was and am a disabled grandmother who was practicing my freedom of speech.....period.

Please note that the SS had seized my email & were questioning me about terrorism FIVE months before 9-11 and before Chicken George claims to have known anything about it. They started checking our email & probably our phone calls & heaven knows what else, as soon as the village idiot seized office. The only thing that was news recently was when George confessed to breaking the law and said he would continue to do so.

The only thing that I wonder about now is what will it take to wake this country up. I saw a glimmer of light last week when the Dubai Port deal was in the news but now we have been assured that it's all hunky-dory and I see people dozing off again. One can only wonder what they did while everyone was screaming about our ports.

This is your America.

ooopsss... another 2.4 trillion just went missing again and we don't know where it is. Don't worry, we'll do better next time.

Date 2001-09-10

If they further harass Doug, we should make them pay for it. It's time to REVOLT, friends. Even that bitch Sandra Day O'Connor, who helped
(S)elect "president" Bush, recently said that it's easier to stop Dictatorships in their early stages. So when even a politico-mucky-muck like HER says THAT, then you KNOW things are getting BAD and will grow even WORSE.

What's the point of living a safe little law-abiding life in America these days? We're losing more and more jobs, which are being replaced with shitty little "want fries with that?" excuses for work. They're outlawing more and more free speech and civil liberties. I personally would rather rot in a jail cell than rot in the stultifying suburbs of mainstream America, where you have to be a braindead sheep just to fit in and be a "respectable" member of 'society.' Let's stand up and show these fascist pigs that we know what's going on, and we won't be deterred by any jackbooted, programmed thugs with their Gestapo tactics.

After reading this, I'm off to stock up on something unmentionable and to clean and oil a number of implements whose names I dare not speak.

It's indeed a good article, everybody was happy to know what happend there with the owner and his information
:)

Hey Doug,

As a Canadian, I am more than happy to offer you a place to stay if you find yourself looking for temporary "vacation" spot.

Keep up the great work.

The same day I heard your unspecified this and that letter -- which assures your place in history -- on Air America, I heard a song sung in the WLRN studio (M. Stock's fine folk music show)by Anne Feeney which included words like "they'll send you off to you know where . . .and "Don't let anyone hear you singing this song." Before I heard it was an old song by someone whose name sounded like Calen Sands I thought it was about you! Can you find it somewhere and musically attach it to this page?

We know you tell the truth Doug. Don't fret over little men with little minds.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." ~ Justice William O. Douglas

"If we are ready to violate the Constitution, will the people submit to our unauthorized acts? Sir, they ought not to submit; they would deserve the chains that our measures are forging for them, if they did not resist." - Edward Livingston

US policies formulated by the high-ranking officials are a kind of retrogression, which has damaged the principles of democracy and rule of law and lacked respect for fundamental human rights. - President Jimmy Carter

"Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution...This is why they revolted in the first place...They revolted against much more mild oppression." -Texas' District 14 Representative in Congress, Ron Paul.

"We didn't enact martial law on September 11. We still have a constitutional form of government, and if the Congress of the United States does not stand up for that authority at this point, it will be an historic failure of our system of government." - Sen. Russ Feingold

Urge your US Senators and Congressmen to repeal the USA Patriot Act, call and e-mail them daily.

The government has been gaining power as each year passes since 1913 when the federal reserve took control of the currency. Yet the members of congress and senate either are too dumb or become part of the problem and join the ranks of the crooks which in turn helps the crooks gain more power. Now since the bush crooks have been in office and stolen more than 1 trillion dollars from the the federal reserve with the approval of alan greenspan has the bush family the richest family on this planet. 99.999 % of the people have no idea as to the corruption that has taken place in the past 30 years. Then you have old george shultz in the back stage pulling the puppet strings of one of the dumbest presidents in history, but never mind that, he is about to start a nuclear war in Iran, Korea and south america. By the time the american people wake and realize the type of tyrant we have here, it will be too late to say, we had no idea he was so mean. It's still not too late to impeach this SOB, but no one wants to get involved. The congress and senate have all been bought, screw blued and tatooed, so don't conut on them to react in a positive manner, it would have a negative impact on their fat bank accounts. Our only hope is to pray that God will remove this very very evil gw bush from office and maybe our children and grand children will have some type of chance to grow up and enjoy the life as intended by our Lord Jesus Christ. gw bush claims to be a Christian, but he is just the opposite of a Christian along with all the other right wing groups that are the children of satan.

25 years ago I would have said this is some sort of joke. And even then we had lost much of our liberty.

But, Doug, I believe every word of it now. I am an anti-Bush blogger too. And, have questioned authority ever since I was a kid.

This censorship is indeed something to worry about.

I will be back here to the Rant, no two ways about that. Please see my blog and read the essay that is there; the Bush segment is about 2/3 of the way down. A new essay is about to be posted.
