The United States government has been directing main stream news outlets to promote it's version of "real news" for many, many years now. It is no secret to be sure, but since an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act was passed in 2012, there is no longer any doubt that most news reported may very well be propaganda created and endorsed by our very own government. Since it has been put forth that our latest election was influenced by Russian hackers circulating "fake news" stories to help Donald Trump get elected, there is government pressure to censor the "fake news" reported by alternative news sources, discussed on social media, and found through search engine results. As I stated on the MCBRN website that citizens should use all means still available to communicate important news and events including online social networking, it seems that although such forms of communication are still available, they are now going to be censored and blocked. Very soon, we will no longer will we be able to circulate information online that has not been approved by our government, leaving us only with what the new Ministry of Truth will allow in order to protect the U.S. government interests and their supporters. Right now, no email, messaging service, landline or cell phone communications goes without scrutiny by our government. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Google and others (over 30 news and technology companies to date) will soon be filtering and blocking anything deemed "fake news" by the U.S. government, allowing them full control over our online freedom of speech. Outside of face to face communications, even letters sent by U.S. Postal Services are at risk. TOR is no real alternative either as it has been infiltrated by the government. What can be done to preserve our right to free speech over electronic media? Considering meshnet networks can be encrypted and kept local and private, that can be utilized at least until it is discovered by the feds who can break the encryption if need be. Layers of encryption could be used on sensitive information, like a Vigenère Table, in addition to digital encryption. Still, this form of layered encryption can be broken if the government is really interested in what you have to say. Two-way licensed communications by Ham radio operators are monitored, but unlicensed two-way communications are not, at least at the moment. Stealth methods for two-way coms are useful esp. for unlicensed frequencies, but mobile monitoring by the F.C.C can be used to listen in if you are snitched on. So it seems that now is the time to start your own communication network system that is not being controlled by the government. In my opinion the unlicensed frequencies are the way to go to keep your communications private while circulating important censored news stories, at least until the Ministry of Truth finds out and sets up the infrastructure to monitor and infiltrate your network. Ultimately it may become necessary to go completely underground to keep free speech alive in the United States. All forms of communications, from signal lights to smoke signals, may be needed to keep the free flow of information going. Although freedom of speech is in our Bill of Rights, remember what George Bush had said, "The constitution is just a piece of paper." Edited by Michigan Swampbuck, Dec 20 2016, 09:33 AM.

Still not convinced that this censorship and blocking of the internet is happening? Perhaps, you may think, it has been going on in some backwards third world nations or in some hard ass communist countries, but certainly not so in the civilized western nations. While true this sort of thing has been on going in less developed nations, it is well on its way in the developed western countries.
Governments Shut Down the Internet More Than 50 Times in 2016 So, this is happening in Ethiopia, Uganda and Gambia, that hardly sounds like that will threaten our internet freedom of speech here in the States you might think. But Europe is following suit and mark my words, if successful, it will soon happen here as well.
