"The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

Frank Zappa would have made a damn good addition to the roster of Freedom4um.

Zappa was of course vehemently opposed to the anti-communist sweeps of the 1940s and 1950s. This doesn't make him a communist. He was a hard-working innovator in his field and never stopped composing and playing music. He worked his musicians very hard, but they often found their own solo careers from experience they got working with him. The irony here is that the state apparatus to "defend" America from communism became the tools used to oppress everyone with an alternative viewpoint. Europe has far greater freedom of expression (aside from Jewish issues) than the US does, and we can thank the culture police (both religious and secular e.g. Marxist) for this. Zappa was most actively opposed to musical censorship run by political lackluster personalities as Tipper Gore. So he was pitted against WASP sensibilities. But those same censors are the ones who tried to limit our educational system to material found int he Bible, much like Islamic fundamentalists. Zappa was a major force for freedom during his life. It just goes to show that anti-fascists can be on the right track even if the anti-communists around them think they're out of touch. Tipper, what good did you ever do for America? And weren't you just posing as a family-values activist to get your nutty husband elected?

When "2 Live Crew" first made waves I found myself on the opposite side of conservatives. I was wrong.
A rainbow coalition against Jews doesn't require Whites or Pro-Whites. It can be just as brown or anti-white as you like.

He says nothing about the Illuminati, that I know. Not to quibble, but he wasn't likely to get wrapped up in that diversion.

What tipper did was go to Paris and party at sex-clubs with ms.harriman and plant the cuckolds' horns on algore. And then she got fat. Don't know if she's down to dating-weight, or not...

I disagree, but it's too late now. Censorship in the US is all about clamping down the revision of history. But if freedom of speech stops mattering in the USA it will be due to an excess of information such that it doesn't matter anymore. I was wrong.

She's on a 'permanent vacation', her brain is fried. I'm guessing that she's 'asylum' height/weight/proportionate at this point.
