is using a bogus email address. His malignant mindset is not, unfortunately,
peculiar to himself. We are more than grateful for your wonderful notes
of encouragement which send a loud and clear message to other brown shirts
that free thinking Americans and people of good heart and goodwill everywhere
will fight those who threaten them with the loss of their inalienable rights

Note - There are people in this country who are committed to ruthless dictatorial,
authoritarian control and will stop at nothing to achieve it. To these
kinds of anti-American terrorists and thugs, freedom of the press, freedom
of inquiry, free speech, your right to know, our Constitution and our Bill
of Rights are viewed as impediments to enforcing their will upon all of
us. We resolutely believe that our commitment to presenting news, information
and commentary from a multitude of sources, serves the greatest good of
an informed and intelligent American and world citizenry. If threats and
oppression like this are not rejected emphatically, the cancer which is
creeping over our country will destroy it forever. -- Jeff Rense

- Once again I am emailing you people. This will probably
be the last time, however, as I have contacted Homeland Security and turned
your site and all of you into them for being traitors to this country and
for aiding and abetting our enemies. If you think there were people trying
to have your website shut down before...you ain't seen nothin' yet. So
be prepared for a harsh and lengthy investigation, if one hasn't already
began. I've had several other people do the same. Multiple complaints get
more attention, you know. It was nice while it lasted, guys. Too bad you
blew it.

 Somewhere along the line these
people have lost, or have never understood, what Constitutional liberty
is... what free speech and free press is all about. They prove by their
actions that darker forces are at work to stifle and squelch any and all
voices contrary to a set party line. There is one word for this, people.
Fascism. And it is a dangerous and evil thing.
Some take the route of economic strangulation, contacting our advertisers
and making bogus claims about racist material in order to frighten and
intimidate them. Others go one step further, and seek to make us actual
enemies of the state for simply offering alternative viewpoints, news and
information in a free society, preying upon and abusing the current situation
in our nation which has the authorities and citizenry at heightened sense
of alarm. This kind of gross mischaracterization and character assassination
represents the death of liberty, the slow demise of Constitutional rights
and liberties and is a symptom of mass mind control.
The warnings have gone out many times before, from many voices, and not
from this website alone. Those who forget history or are ignorant of it
are doomed to repeat it. It's awful lessons are rarely ever learned.
Above is just such an example of an attempt of abuse of the system in order
to silence legal, constitutional and legitimate dissent. Just like those
who would bring the wheels of justice to a grinding halt by littering the
court systems with meaningless cases, who attempt to weaken the powers
of legitimate government investigative organizations by overloading them
with ridiculous, unconstitutional claims, taking their time away from real
threats and dangers to the people, it is easy to see who the enemies of
liberty truly are.

- Sir/Madame,
-
- On entering the U.S. Navy, I took an oath to defend the
Constitution of the United States from its enemies both foreign and domestic
(An oath that did not expire on the day of my discharge).
-
- I never fully understood the definition of a domestic
threat to the U.S. Constitution until I read your email to Jeff Rense explaining
how you "informed" the Department of Homeland Security of this
web sites existence (As if they didn't know it already existed). It dawned
on me that you are an example of a "domestic" threat.
-
- Therefore, since you are clearly an enemy of the U.S.
Constitution, the document on which this Great Country was founded and
by the power given to me by the sacred oath that I took; I now declare
you an enemy of the U.S. of America!
-
- I think I will forward this email and report you to the
FBI. Hopefully, you will be rounded up and placed in one of FEMA's camps
and then us freedom loving Americans will be able to sleep a little more
soundly at night because there will be one less enemy of my country freely
roaming about and causing havoc.

- Dear Jeff,
-
- I have been visiting your web site for several years
now and it is my first stop for Independent News. My awareness and understanding
of world events has been greatly expanded by the guests you interview and
by the news articles you post. I have also become increasingly concerned
about the attacks on your web site and for the valuable information you
provide to the world citizenry for our consideration and evaluation.
-
- To "Naugas" U.S. Navy, et al, I would say...
-
- I also took an oath with the Canadian Armed Forces (Land)
to defend freedom and my oath does not expire. Although a foreign national
to the USA I hold, in my heart and in my mind, a spiritual connection to
the U.S. Constitution and to the Bill of Rights. The United States is a
Constitutional Republic, unique among nations, that is the template for
the future of humanity, of humankind. If the USA should falter and lose
its Constitution then all democratic nations, who are now precipitously
poised, would likewise falter and capitulate to the dominance of totalitarianism
in a domino effect. I do not believe this will happen - in fact, I know
it will not happen - but it will take some effort by each of us individually
and then collectively to preserve it, each in our own way.
-
- I stand with you "Naugas", shoulder to shoulder,
"I by land - you by sea", and defend the Constitution - the Law
of the Land. I also stand with Jeff, his guests, his advertisers, with
all those who defend the U.S. Constitution. Our only enemy is fear and
it is within each of us to release such fear, move forward and secure the
Constitution and preserve freedom and liberty for all.

- Best wishes, Jeff...
-
- Keep up the good work! You are providing an incredibly
valuable service - in the time I have been obtaining my news and information
from your website, I have been distressed, heartened, inspired, sickened
- but clearly better informed than I would be listening to the treasonous
wannabes on television.
-
- More than 20 years ago, as a journalism student, I spoke
out on numerous occasions (and incurred a lot of unpopularity among both
students and professors alike) that I thought the mainstream US press was
a pathetic, government-controlled joke, no more honest than the Soviet
Pravda (since then, I've come to view Pravda as considerably more reliable
than the U.S. press!). I was scolded once by a fellow student for being
too "negative." Well, multiply my view then times 1000 now; American
journalism is a hideous insult to the traditions of a free press that this
nation once honored.
-
- And the type of people currently sending you threats
are the worst cowards in the world. Totally brainwashed, brain-dead, heart-dead
sheep who wouldn't flinch at an American police state - they'd be first
in line to kiss the tail ends of those in power. They make me sick, and
when they invoke the name of America and democracy and liberty to justify
their slave-like attitudes - I grow enraged.
-
- You have done a powerful service for your readers in
exposing the utterly corrupt political and economic machinations of this
world - the murderous, lying and bloody underside of Zionism, the corrupt
dealings of the Skull and Bones Society and others - spies, embezzlers,
thieves, liars, murderers. You have presented the most in-depth exposes
of what really happened on 9-11. You have consistently sought to be fair
and cultivated many voices and many viewpoints.
-
- This is what the free press is all about. I wish you
the very best. For those sorry, pathetic peons who have sold their souls
to the Masters of War (and poverty, and deceit, and death), those who live
for the praise of their bourgeois masters and have had their eyes buried
in a television set for the better part of their lives: you know what your
fate is. Karma is irrefutable. Better that you crawl under a rock and hide
till the day of reckoning, for surely you will get all that you deserve.You
are, quite simply, afraid of truth.
-
- I am proud to be an American when I see people of all
ages, all colors, all backgrounds, speaking up loudly and proudly for Peace
and Justice! Yes, then I am very very proud to be a citizen of the Earth!
-
- Thanks, Jeff, for helping to provide real news and a
real voice for people everywhere. You are not in this fight alone, but
I salute you! In my opinion, you are a true American patriot.
-
- Sincerely,
-

- Someone recently sent an email saying we are just
whining, making a fuss over nothing, that '' so what, so an internet site
goes down or is silenced, it doesn't mean anything.'' On the contrary!
Facism starts small and grows into a bonfire; first one book is burned
and then people are burned. It always begins as a trickle and then turns
into a torrential wave that overtakes -- newspapers, radio, television,
and eventually the right to speak, to protest, to dissent, to have address
of grievance, to be heard. This is no small matter. - webmaster

- Dear Jeff Rense,
-
- In regard to what the individual, email address Asteroid170@aol.com
in your article Enemies of free press and liberty wrote about all involved
at your show, it really doesn't surprise me at all. Just such shallow minds
with no depth or perception of what is right and wrong, real and dellusional,
is really what all this madness is about right now.
-
- As John Hogue would call it, having no consciousness
and being guided by unconciousness and robotic behaviors is just what one
deals with out here when that individual tries to have just a simple and
intellegent conversation with the mass public. I am appalled, maybe even
a little shocked, but never surprised at how dumbed-down people around
my own community are.
-
- I am not a watcher of the channel 2, 6, or 8 "what
they call news" casts, but I was visiting a neighbor the other night
and he was avidly watching what I defined to him as "not so sophisticated
propaganda". I was waiting for the chearleaders to start cheering
a chant at that horrible "newscast" if you can call it that...for
it was so one-sided.
-
- Peter Jennings was giving almost no informed information
at all that I could tell. It appeared to me as though he was reading from
a script and even he was a little disgruntled you could tell...maybe even
confused. You heard nothing but a mass of ideologic bullshit propaganda
being broadcast. You heard nothing at all about all the atrocities happening
to innocent lives that are being taken by the coalition forces, as they
have so named themselves. I would call this mass of propaganda I saw being
sold as news to the public a lot like Orwell's 'Animal Farm' to a tee.
-
- The individual who wrote you that bizzare letter really
sounds like he or she is just another victim of unconciousness and idiocy,
to put it mildly. I'm sure there is a whole country of confused and lifeless
deadheads out there, just like those you see who are supporting this mass
geonocide that the real axis of evil (son George Bush, Tony Blair, Sharon,
and company) are perpetrating on that old 3rd world country over there.
-
- But, there again, they don't yet realize they are accomplices
to the the crime as well. Whatever happens to myself and Jeff Rense will
happen to them, too as a result of individual actions by such mind melds
as those in power right now - and those writing such condeming emails.
-
- I'm sure such people as Asteroid170@aol.com would vote
for - and follow - Hitler if he were alive and running. But there again,
isn't that the situation we have in the White House right now, more or
less? I personally reserve all judgement and pity for people right now.
The world at-large is how each individual makes it. If we make it a bad
place to live, it becomes a bad place to live. But it all shows you the
human mind has 2 sides: good and evil. When one sees those protesting the
wrongness of this war and utilizing their God-given rights to do so as
'good ones', and then those who support geonocide and are antagonising
others - and trying to start fights with the protesters who are against
the war, calling them "devildoers or bad ones" - it is clearly,
truly a mad, mad, mad world we live in.

- You crack me up, boy! Those "government officials"
you're reporting to are probably Rense readers themselves, or guests on
his radio shows. Aerospace and military researchers love the guy. Take
a look at his archives sometime. For example, look up Colonel John Alexander
and see what kind of "non lethal" (torture) weapons he's been
involved in developing... I don't think anyone in the government is going
to mess with Rense, sorry. Some of his friends are pretty scary.

- Dear Jeff,
-
- The US should take pride in your webside, it's intelligent,
it's idealistic, and it has that quality that we Europeans so much admire
in Americans: the dynamic courage to speak-up. I don't always agree with
your contributors, but where else do I find a webside so complex, voicing
such a variety of opinions?
-
- Letters like Mr. Shiff's, and his likes, expose a tragedy
of individuals. What are they so scared of, in the first place? Unfortunately,
(but much to my divertimento) they are also a farce. Who would, in fact,
believe that these characters still exists and were not just a joke?
-
- May your webside have a long life for the good of all
of us! I've visited it for more than a year now, and I've discovered that
many of the predictions and findings of your contributers later popped
up in very respected US newspapers. Be sure, you are being read! I've recommended
you to a lot of people around here (Italy) and in my homeland, Denmark.

-
- Forgive me, but I'm confused.
-
- Someone identified as, "Asteroid 170" states,
"I have contacted Homeland Security and turned your site and all of
you into them for being traitors to this country and for aiding and abetting
our enemies."
-
- Since I, too, have contributed a few comments and essays
to the Rense site, I guess I'm among the "all of you" that Asteroid
is identifying as "traitors . . . aiding and abetting our enemies,"
and therefore, among those on whom Asteroid 170 is informing. I think I'd
like to ask a question of The Asteroid.
-
- I'd like to know who, exactly, "our enemies"
are, and how Asteroid 170 was able to successfully identify them. Perhaps
The Asteroid should take a moment from his/her busy schedule of informing
on, and attempting to terrorize American journalists and essayists - and
instead RUSH this critical information about the identities of our enemies
to the White House. I suggest this because it appears that those in charge
of the US Weapons of Mass Destruction are having some difficulty, themselves,
in determining precisely who "our enemies" are.
- Apparently high on the list of "our enemies"
is the little girl photographed as she was being lifted from the bombed
rubble in Basra. No more running and jumping for her (if she even survives),
no more playing little-girl games because now she no longer has her right
leg. She must have ranked highly on the list of "our enemies,"
because look at what we did to her and her dead family with "Shock
and Awe."
- Also high on the list of "our enemies" was
that little boy whose final photograph will haunt me for a very long time.
No more little-boy smiles for him; no more innocent dreams, no more simple
childhood delights made up mostly of games and perhaps a treat or two of
candy or cake. He appeared to have been about five or six years old when
the bombing began, although it was difficult for me to determine his young
years with certainty because most of his head was missing when his final
photograph was taken. "Shock and Awe" again.
-
- I have to say that as a mother of two children - a boy
and a girl - I have shed some tears over the photos. My tears were in addition
to the tears my kids and I already shed over this "war," itself.
Please know, Asteroid 170, that I also said prayers for the children, and
prayers for any surviving parents who might have had to look upon their
children in this state of unspeakable suffering, or unspeakable death.
The images of their children will be burned into their minds, forever and
forever and forever.
-
- Perhaps that does make me a "traitor" to your
ideals, beliefs and political agendas, Asteroid 170, but if it does, then
I would like to ask you this: I am wondering when this terrible shift happened.
When did America lose its compassion and its wisdom?
-
- I have not ever been a traitor to compassion, nor have
I been a traitor to wisdom, to human rights or to civil liberties. These
are ideals that are necessary in a republic based upon democratic principles,
and frankly, Asteroid, I thought that these ideals were what we were all
about here in America. I thought these ideals described America.
-
- I really don't know what else to say to you, Asteroid,
other than ask you to please notice that I am being allowed to present
my opinions here - same as you - because Jeff Rense is willing to endure
the threats against him, and is willing to present opposing sides of all
issues. A responsible and respected journalist will never do anything less
than this.
