Freedom sign in
I've been involved in this movement for only 3 years, which is a pale comparison to many others but the more I get involved, the newer the faces are that I see around me. I really don't think that Alex is far off when he says that more and more people are waking up every day. I've reached out to a lot of people, and I've spent a lot of time on specific issues - both studying them and defending my views on them. Of course, experience really is the best teacher. I give out activist CD's to friends and associates which contain documentaries to educate and wake others up. However, often after waking up, people are often left confused or even frightened. So, I created this to try to reach out to those who wanted to do more but weren't sure where or how to take the first step.
[b]Educate[/b]
Study the issues indepthly. If you don't know enough about something, but trust the source, then don't talk about it - you'll make an ass of yourself (I have!).
[b]Debate[/b]
Bring this issue up to people and debate it. Not only will you see different aspects of things, but it will encourage you to do more research. I've learned a lot through this.
[b]Weigh it in[/b]
Can you prove yourself wrong?
[b]Reach out[/b]
Spread the word! Distribute books, pamphlets, cd's, dvd's, urls, and words! I recently bought George Humphrey's booklet 9/11: The Great Illusion (http://tinyurl.com/dryqa($15 for 5, not bad!)) and have been distributing it to people. Also, I burn activist cd's that contain the best documentaries I've seen so far, and hand it out (contact me (phracktivist@gmail.com) if you would like to request one, or would like a list of contents).
Blogging, articles, etc
[b]Emphasize[/b]
People need to understand that all this isn't just about exposing Bush. It goes so much deeper and that's why it's important for everyone to get involved (Constitution (http://tinyurl.com/2vuk6), Martial Law (http://tinyurl.com/87cz7), Freedom (http://tinyurl.com/drfbj)). If people do not understand the urgency, they will not join this cause.
[b]Utilize free tools[/b]
Make full use of free resources on the net! Link everyone to sites that contain streaming media of 9/11 documentaries (or hell, link to any site that offers these for free to download).
[i]Tinyurl.com[/i] allows you to turn a huge url into something very small. This is a great tool for saving space. Sprawl it on the back of a book you are giving someone, write it anywhere that that extra bit of space is needed.
[b]GoogleVideo, Yousendit, etc.[/b]
When I began my venture through this, there was no such thing as GoogleVideo, and YouTube wasn't around either (or was just starting out). The world of massive streaming media on the web was just starting to gain in popularity. Now days, you can find most any documentary on GoogleVideo, and there's a plethora of short clips on YouTube. The fact that you can embed these videos almost anywhere, is fantastic because this has allowed a lot of people to be able to reach out to many others without making anyone feel pressured to watch something (or, giving them a DVD and watching it collect dust).
