Freedom Ride

from Dune: Chaperhouse by Frank Herbert

It’s claiming that if you actively seek out freedom of thought, you’ll end up following every whim about what you want to do and think. But if you discipline your mind, you’ll find paradoxically it more powerful to explore its possibilities.

(It has to be remembered that a) this is a made-up quotation in a novel, so it isn’t necessarily true and wise; and b) within Herbert’s Dune mythos it’s in the Bene Gesserit Coda, the sayings of an order devoted to psychological/political gaming with powers developed by intense mental discipline, so they’re bound to stress the importance of such discipline).

Hello!

Operation MOCKINGBIRD — The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA assets.

CIA= Government Agency
Mocking Bird= Government Agents in Press
Would you think the same way if I said KGB? What about the DISIP (Ven.)? No, you would say they were controlling the press. Wouldn’t you?

Operation Mockingbird reveals nothing about the USA’s commitment to freedom of the press. It does however reveal that you can’t believe everything that you read in the papers with the CIA disseminating disinformation.

there’s this company that advertise in craiglist for lease to own program. I just want to know if anyone have heard or deal with this company.

No never heard of them be careful check them out first

This country was built on freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Whether its right or wrong a person should not be fired or suspended for making a racist remark.

You shouldn’t really have sent it

But they have the right to suspend you, because it was racist

Ive noticed how racism works both ways, yet only one way is punished, If a black/coloured/etc.. made a racist remark to someone who was white, then nothing would really happen, however, if it happened the other way, then it would be taken seriously,

Countries are so worried about being seen as racist that they will bend over backwards for people of other nationalities for fear of gaining a racist label

However, Racist or not, its considered abuse and bullying, in any respectable company, they will not tolerate it, so they had the right to punish you,

Your lucky that you haven’t lost your job all together, i know people who’ve been fired for smaller things than what happened with you

Try not to do it again-otherwise id be expecting to lose my job if i were you, once is a mistake, you were caught, its now in the past, doing it again is just plain idiocy

All the best xxx

…but what does it matter what the state constitutions say on free speech, freedom of religion, etc.? Doesn’t the U.S. Constituion supercede the state constitutions anyway?

The states can offer more protection than the US constitution…it cannot offer less. So as long as the state in question does not attempt to weaken your rights they will hold stronger than US but if a state were to attempt to remove a right that the US constitution protects, the US constitution rules

He was the first person to finance the American Revolution, because he was against "Taxation without Representation" that pretty much started the revolution. And because of the revolution, which woulodn’thave been possible without him, we got a new country that gave us the rights that we have today.

How free are you? You have the freedom that you chose for yourself or the freedom that society allows you to have?

Thanks for your answer.

Life is still worth living even without freedom. But one can live with a better life if they are free.

for your question: Society only allows me so much/so few freedom, I choose my freedom as much as I’m capable of in my own terms.

‘Freedom’ doesn’t mean anything to me anymore. I’ve pretty well eliminated the word from my vocabulary. I think the ‘freedom’ most Americans talk about (social, political & economic) means selfishness and no responsibility. When I hear Americans talk about ‘freedom’ today and listen carefully to their context, I hear them say, "I want to contribute nothing and benefit disproportionately without effort and I refuse responsibility for the consequences of my actions." That’s what I think ‘freedom’ means to private enterprise, investors and shareholders… It’s a grandiose expectation of entitlement without basis in reality. ‘Freedom’ without responsibility? That’s tyranny, and that’s what freedom means. Freedom means tyranny.
