Why are Congress and corporations and security and police agencies so obsessed with censorship...?
When the corporate media do such a good job on their own?



You can't make this stuff up! Satire is superfluous, even if censorship isn't quite yet. (Still need to get many corners of that damned Internet under control, with all its leaks and freaks!)

1. Fear.
We've reached a point to where it is all fear based...and why would that be? Why would rich, greedy assholes fear The People? If you ain't done nothing wrong, why so scared?

The M$M wants to program Americans into being working slaves that have no critical thinking skills.

3. They are just trying to "help us". Heaven to think of what might happen
if Americans see what a real Revolution looks like.

YOu see, they are only looking out for us.

5. Wasn't there another example of this, semi-recently?
I can't remember the topic, or even the month, but there was definitely another cover-thing like this one.

7. If we are allowed to read everything and think for ourselves...
...their control is greatly diminished. Exactly why the Catholic Church lost control of everyone. You can only control stuff for so long. Then a king decides he wants a divorce because a better piece of ass comes along...
