Right now in the U.S. senate are bills S.773 and S. 778, both a part of the so-called cyber security act of 2009. Under the guise of protecting us from terrorists and combating copyright laws, these bills are juse some of many that give sweeping power to the government to, at will and at anytime do things like check the contents of your hard drive and shut down the internet in the event of an (false-flag no doubt) terrorist attack. Be aware of that.

Quite sad... that America, the symbol of the freedom of speech passes such laws. The sad thing here is not the law by itself, but the need for such a law. This is a world where fanatics are aiming to harm innocent people, and the government does its best to protect its citizens.
All we can hope for is, that those who enforce this law, would not use it for some not worthy gain.

my only disagreement with you on this matter, is that you house way too much faith in the benevolence of the government, and you're too trusting apparently of their "terrorist" indoctrination. BTW, "Al Quaida" is not a real organization--it's an Arabic phrase meaning the "(data)base" and is a reference to a database put together by the U.S. state department and CIA in the 1980's while recruiting mujahadeen against the Soviet Union.
Most of the Patriot Act was in existence, sitting on the shelves since long before 2001.
To build a "New World Order" which is now a phrase common in the media (Time's recent article on "Obama's New World Order" should light some fires--but it won't I'm sure), will require the absolute destruction of national sovereignty around the globe...this will take time and it'll require a lot of shadowy and seedy legislative manipulation.

What you say is SAD! Do we all live in a conspiracy? Are the governments all corrupt or have some malevolent agenda? I do not wish to believe so, because if I do, my life would become a struggle of survival against forces I cannot see.
From there, the distance is not so far from the nearest mad house... where is all that info about "Al-Qaeda"?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda
This is what I had the time to read... it does mention some of the theories you raised here, but... from here to say it is all true - too many "if"s for me...

If you do a little googling you can find 1980-ish era pics of Bin Laden and Brzezinski (One of Obama's chief advisors/handlers) shaking hands. Sadly, I've researched all of this stuff--I don't deal in conspiracy theory "fluff"--I can find the research for anything I've mentioned in this thread--ANYTHING I've mentioned. Replace your usage of the word "conspiracy" with that of "strategy" and you can begin to see that actual big picture that most people are hiding from.
DR...

With the internet you have to be very careful of who is working behind the scenes. The government is not the only fear that we need to confront, when the freedom to speak and expose corruption is curtailed in any way by any one, such as a rogue moderator, a person with a holier than thou personification that would prevent a modest expression short of vulgar speech. I agree that expletives should be deleted as there are many ways we can say things without being obscene. We also have to consider the line between art and abuse. The facts should always be in the benefit of exposing the truth.
Beyond that I don't know what else should I add?

Of all the matters that you bring up, incrimination is the trickiest of all as I see it part of exposing the truth is to reveal what is less likely to be known. On the fifth protection from self incrimination the burden is then to prove with facts providing substantial evidence to sustain an accusation. Losing our right to a defense or being blind sided by accusations not included in the original complaint are certainly issues worth being exposed as crimes against humanity.
While the United States doesn't often have to uphold to international law, there may just come a day when we have to be accountable for the actions of those people who sit in places of authority in the government of our land.
