Yesterday was a big and unique day for No Force, No Fraud. It was named Website of the Day by Counterpunch online magazine, which caused a flood of readers to NFNF... over 1,000 before the day was done. Quite a leap from my previous high of 214. NFNF actually got more readers than the front page of Babelogue. Hopefully, some of those readers will come back and become regular readers. Tuesday, July 15, 2003

Actually, there is good news every day, but it gets overshadowed by bad news. 1. No Force, No Fraud has been rising in readership. Yesterday, 224 readers drove it into 6th place among 20+ blogs on Babelogue. I've found that previous blogs have been quoted from on other blogs, and at least 2 sites have made my 4-part Education series available to their readers, such as Freedom of Education has. 2. Liberty-oriented websites are continuing to increase in popularity, as you can see from my Alexa ratings page, where I track a couple dozen sites' ratings. 3. Yesterday, Dave Undis, creator of the LifeSharers organ donor program (a free-market alternative) appeared on Fox News cable several times, which should drive our membership up. 4. Free-State Project has attracted many new signers, and has set a deadline for joining in order to be part of the voting that will choose which STATE to move to when membership reaches 20,000.

We are a nation that acts as if freedom of the press were a sacred item. It should be, but, for whatever reason, it is NOT. In our past, the media considered itself a watchdog of government... adversaries of government, in the name of truth. NO LONGER. Quite the opposite is now true; our major media outlets are nothing less than government puppets. Our government is the perpetrator of one of the most unjustified, propagandized, and brutal wars in history... but most Americans don't know it. What they see on TV and read in major newspapers is not the SHOCKING TRUTH of this war, but the sanitized, deliberately deceptive crap from the Bush administration. The truth... the ugly gut-wrenching, scandalous truth... is available to anyone able to read foreign news reports, and those reports reveal a completely different war than most Americans view... and are able to ignore. I would like to still believe that Americans would DAMN this war IF they knew the truth about it, but our media sources are not presenting the war to them. Instead they're presenting some sort of "game" being played out in a desert somewhere, with nameless Muslims terrorists on one side, and brave, wholesome American GI's risking their lives to bring democracy to the world. If all Americans were required to read just the two parts of Iraq: the Human Toll this national deception might begin to change to the outrage it should be. Iraq: the Human Toll (part 1) Iraq; the Human Toll (part 1)
