God bless america...eh

Sherman Austin, webmaster of RaisetheFist.com was sentenced to one
year in federal prison, with three years of probation, for creating
an anarchist web site with links to sites on how to build bombs. On
top of his year inside, the stipulations of his probation read more
like a facist regime. Check this:


1. He cannot possess or access a computer of any kind without prior
approval. (Whoa... don't point that mouse at me!!)

2. Any equipment he owns is subject to monitoring, search and seizure
without notice.

3. He must surrender his phone, DSL, electric, and satellite bills.

4. He cannot associate with any person or group that seeks to change
the government in any way (be that environmental, social justice,
political, economic, etc.)

5. He must pay over $2,000 in fines.

All this, mind you, for simply publishing some information that is
probably available at your public library, and without otherwise
committing any kind of violence.

Austin is in effect bindfolded and gagged while the US military are
free to use explosives as they see fit, as they have done for years.

Judge Wilson also ruled that Austin can't associate with anyone from
a group that "espouses physical force as a means of change"...as if
Austin wanted to hang out with the US government anyway...
