Protect Your Freedom of Speech

Been quiet as of late, appologies to those wondering what we were up to. This recent news came to our attention a few days ago and deserves a mention. It may not affect us directly, but picture a near future where corporations and communication companies control what you can see and hear, filtering content to support their agendas. ... wait, are we already there? Take the Power back, read on for details.


ROCK CONCERT WEBCAST: SPONSORED/CENSORED BY AT&T?
A live Internet broadcast of Pearl Jam's performance at Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival Sunday went off without a hitch -- until singer Eddie Vedder criticized President Bush.

Lyrics critical of the president didn't make it past editors of the show's Webcast, the band complained Wednesday on its Web site.

When asked about the missing performance, AT&T informed Lollapalooza that portions of the show were in fact missing from the webcast, and that their content monitor had made a mistake in cutting them.

During the performance of "Daughter" the following lyrics were sung to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" but were cut from the webcast:

- "George Bush, leave this world alone." (the second time it was sung); and
- "George Bush find yourself another home."

This, of course, troubles us as artists but also as citizens concerned with the issue of censorship and the increasingly consolidated control of the media.

AT&T's actions strike at the heart of the public's concerns over the power that corporations have when it comes to determining what the public sees and hears through communications media. Aspects of censorship, consolidation, and preferential treatment of the internet are now being debated under the umbrella of "NetNeutrality."

Even the ex-head of AT&T, CEO Edward Whitacre, has stated just last March that fears his company and other big network providers would block traffic on their networks are overblown. "Any provider that blocks access to content is inviting customers to find another provider." (Marguerite Reardon, Staff Writer, CNET News.com Published: March 21, 2006, 2:23 PM PST).

But what if there is only one provider from which to choose? If a company that is controlling a webcast is cutting out bits of our performance -not based on laws, but on their own preferences and interpretations - fans have little choice but to watch the censored version.

What happened to Pearl Jam this weekend should be viewed as a wake up call, and it's about something much bigger than the censorship of a rock band. Wake up people. Inform yourself, and fight for your rights.

West Memphis Three: Worldwide Awareness Day 2007

The West Memphis 3 are three men tried and convicted for the murders of three children in the Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas, United States during 1993. Damien Echols - the alleged ringleader - was sentenced to death. Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin were sentenced to life in prison. The case has received considerable attention. Many believe the arrests and convictions were a miscarriage of justice and that the defendants were wrongfully convicted during a period of intense media scrutiny and so-called "Satanic panic".

June 3, 2007 marked the 14-year anniversary of the arrests of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin. These men have been locked up for almost a decade and a half for a crime that was never accuratly proved to be committed by them. The many efforts to expose what happened to them in those Arkansas courtrooms is even more powerful and committed than ever before. Time hasn't diminished the outrage or the frustration over verdicts that grow even more absurd as the years have passed and more is exposed about what really happened to the murder victims, and the failings of the justice system. read up and learn abit, and thank your lucky stars this never happens to your family.

Where Do We Start?

Many have asked us, where do we begin?
Where do we go to start looking for the truth? or at least the "other side of the story". The stories news and facts that will never be published through main stream media outlets. The answer isn't black and white, and like all things in this truth movement age, we have to source our "grey" material from many people using various sources.

Todays aim is to shine the light on just a small, small fraction of the dedicated men, women and organisations leading the way in exposing the "real facts and news". The forerunners in digging for the facts, asking the hard questions, and exposing what we all need to know. These are but a small sample, but they are a perfect way to start digging... but as always this rabbit hole is deep, once you start to find the information, it becomes clear you are never at the end.

PEOPLE:

Alex fights on many fronts, exposing truths, facts and agendas on many subjects, both political and economic. he is also an accomplished film maker, and his DVD documentary releases such as Terrorstorm and 911: Martial Law, are second to none.

Robert Greenwald:
Robert is an independent film maker and journalist who focuses on world and US political stories, and global threats.

The film presents a 9/11 conspiracy theory, setting forth the claim that elements within the United States government planned and executed the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. To this day Loose Change represents an easy to understand and well researched piece of the expanding puzzle.

DAY 01 : Hello and Welcome

Welcome All...

As we stride forward in baby steps, Guerilla Truth begins today as an organisation bringing the alternative Truth and News to the forefront. Allowing the public to see the other side of the arguments on many social and political issues we face in this 21st century.

We will endeavor to sift through the black and white information that polarizes our media outlets and bring to the surface the grey puzzle pieces, allowing you the public, to become more informed and hopefully more aware of the decisions you make.

This project begins with two members, yet as we step into the rabbit hole of truth discovery I hope many more will join us, support us, and change the way we live for a better future. This is the time to get active. As a mass we have been fooled too many times, with 911 being the most recent rabbit from the hat. Lets take back the power we as a majority own, and pull back the blindfolds that our 9-5 lives and media impose on us.

All we ask is that you have an open mind to all the information we present, and when more informed on an issue, go away and reassess your standings and future decisions. Support or Criticism is welcomed with open arms. We aim to generate discussion and thought, something which is lacking all too much in our modern society.

Day one we begin. What better place than here? What better time than now!
GT.
