Writers Express Surveillance Concerns On A Global Scale In New Survey
Source: CBS San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)— Writers around the globe are so concerned with government surveillance they say they are now avoiding, or have considered avoiding, writing about controversial topics.
According to a survey done by the PEN American Center at least 75 percent of those surveyed consider the freedom of expression under attack. And it’s not just certain countries. According to the center’s Executive Director, Suzanne Nossel, writers everywhere have expressed their fears.
“In parts of the world where we thought of writers as perfectly secure—some of the freest counties. Places like Canada, The United Kingdom, and Australia. Writers feel like somebody’s looking over their shoulder,” she said.
Nossel said while some of it may be unnecessary paranoia, there are programs that are shrouded in such secrecy that it’s hard to say who’s being monitored and for what.
The recent Sony hack has kicked things up a notch, according to Nossel.
“Everything we’re doing online and the idea that if somebody were going to intrude or snoop the scope of what they could uncover and the damage they could do is pretty boundless,” she said.
The PEN American Center is advocating for comprehensive reform of the NSA surveillance program and an oversight mechanism so when the government does want to collect information they would have to go through court proceedings.
The journalist need a third party involve again this and the need to pay the jounalist very well to sacrifice is career by denouncing what happening
It should be a crimnal offence . They get paid to report news not ignore it
Journalists make great outhouse filler!
I have a compilation set of photos from yesterday of a purple cloud actually rising from the tree line to above the tree line, then spreading out and turning black after the plane flew right over. Then disappearing. Pretty interesting. Is that normal? Is it just from the Jet pulling it in its draft upward? Any ideas?
I printed posters I display in my rear car windows stating: Cant you see we’re cut off from sun? You going to say nothing like news & police in choppers? Spray is killing. The flyers I put on windshields every night all over Los Angeles currently state: LA doesn’t have clouds unless it rains
Raytheon now runs the National Weather Service, (NWS), collecting data for forecasts, none of which are reporting the now constant artificial clouds plane sprayed or generated off-shore of nano sized aluminum, barium, strontium, silver iodide, viruses & nanobots to steer, change temperature and polarity. http://inhabitat.com/bill-gates-announces-funding-for-seawater-spraying-cloud-machines. These cumulus look-a-like artificial clouds do not block the sun & create shade like real clouds. They trap and reflect radiation back down & are heating, not cooling.

It almost looks like fog but real fog hugs the ground and has been blocked from rolling in since July 30, 2013. Monsanto owns Climate Corporation & seeds that grow without sun in the now aluminum saturated soil causing the trees to lose their outer bark, leaves and fruit. We are inhaling these nano metal particulates and nanobots which can self replicate, monitor, transmit & more when extremely low frequencies (ELF), are pulsed at us. All life resonates harmoniously at 6-8 Hz but weather radar, GWEN ER towers, all wifi gadgets, cellphones, towers & antennas are ELF and can spread or clump up artificial clouds or cause skin to expand and heat or bones to ache. It throws birds flight off and underwater, fish’s vascular organs explode. ELFs speed up the growth of cancer, mold & bacteria. Wifi is a known mind control frequency-look up CIA’s Project Bluebeam.

Go barefoot 10 mins to get grounded. We can’t make water, we can only move it. To get at earth’s largest oil deposit, lasers have been cutting arctic ice to speed melting to ice-nucleate it up where it has been moved and triggered precipitation, even flooding, elsewhere. Eat raw brocolli, ginger, cilantro, parsley, apple, chorella, garlic 2 remove metals. Don’t eat seedless – save seeds.

Netflix has “Toxic Skies” Trees. Fourth straight day killing off all rain-snow clouds today Southern New Mexico 1-8-15, really messed up folks. They repent not of evil and will die in their own wallow. What good does it a pig to wash it, put a nice diamond on its nose if it goes back to filth. It’s still a pig either way as these lowlifes, just as the dog goes back to its vomit. No difference with the exception of 2 legs…
When words fail me, I rely on a song I’ve sung since the 1970’s. Here’s the verses to a song from Vern and Ray, first northern California bluegrass band back in the late 60’s. The song is called “To Hell with the Land”:
Listen my brother, this world’s gonna fall
it’s hard to believe no one cares at all
We just make a dollar anyway that we can
To hell with the people to hell with the land
Chorus/refrain:
Can this whole world be saved
have we gone too far or is it too late
have we reached the point of no return
Lord, what will it take, will we ever learn
Our cities are bigger than ever before
and there’s not enough air to go round anymore
what are we doin’ to help ease the pain
we’re building more cars, and bigger airplanes
chorus
A sawmill stops burnin’, and the smoke clears away
but the big trees keep fallin’, day after day
help me my brother, why can’t they see
they’re destroyin’ the source of the air that we breathe
Can this whole world be saved
have we gone too far, or is it too late
have we reached the point of no return
Lord, what will it take, will we ever learn.
Though this was written in the 1960’s, it’s as relevant today as it was then. I find I can barely contain my emotion sometimes when I sing it, for it’s message breaks my heart even more today than it did 40 years ago.
This is easy, everyone in the media now is a bought off whore. Celente is correct in calling them presstitutes.
They’re going to suffer ugly deaths like the rest of us, but they’ll KNOW they had an opportunity to broadcast and FAILED. Monsterous.
Even though the media does not report on any geoengineering activity, the US congress had a hearing, discussing geoengineering in nov 2009 and feb/mar 2010. If the US Congress discusses geoengineering as a extreme measure to combat climate change(referred to as global warming in the report, I believe) then the media is indeed covering up something as to not even report Congressional hearings. The report on this House of Reps hearing is avaialble from the US printing office and here:

Hello Freedom Ranger,
I am just getting over the flu and had a lot of down time watching movies.
Might I recommend a couple.
After The Dark:
The concept was great, the movie could have been much better! It does get you thinking about who these bunker people are and who will be chosen.
The Conspiracy: Like others stated, it looked like a real documentary, until it obviously turned towards the Fake direction… Which is exactly why they allowed it in Netflix. Is that called Reverse psychology? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oVWcT6mVYQ

Health to All!
We are the awakened ones.
I agree SkywatcherGrandma~ it is very sad… we had about 5 inches of powdery snow here in N. Maine…then it switched to freezing rain and we got about a half inch of that crap on top… but it was only 18 degrees out so it should have been all snow!
Journalists are not journalists anymore. They’re pawns in a game that no one can win. My grandfather was perhaps the last of a dying breed, and was editor of his own newspaper for many years. Like Dane, his views were unflinching and honest, and often put him at odds with major media opinions. Six corporations now control over 80% of the news media in the world…
This is a poem that nails the situation to a tee:
It’s 3:23 in the morning,
and I’m awake because my great, great, grandchildren won’t let me sleep.
My great, great, grandchildren ask me in dreams
What did you do, while the planet was plundered?
What did you do, when the earth was unraveling?
Surely you did something when the seasons started failing,
as the mammals, reptiles and birds were all dying?
Did you fill the streets with protest when democracy was stolen?
What did you do once you knew?
– Drew Dillinger –
Watch this ! The biggest spraying plane i ever seen over europe !!

Hello All; Here in Southwest, New Mexico. The lowlifes have been super spraying their crud (SAG) along the Mexico border over Juarez, Mexico into El Paso, Texas east to west today marking 3rd day straight-1/7/15. From South of this area they are building their cover sprayings to North which would be towards Las Cruces, New Mexico. What has the light that is in us to do with the darkness that surrounds us? Absolutely nothing I say, so expose them the word tells us….This will be their demise, they come not to the light or have anything to do with it…..
Here’s a perfect example of a sellout journalist. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/why_was_2014_hottest_year_on_record_the_humans_did_it_20150107
Hello Steven, yes, all the “journalists” are too spineless to admit to the climate engineering elephant in the room, they are aware that to do so would be a bad career decision. This being said, the conclusions of the article you posted fall far short of just how dire the climate situation really is. Global geoengineering is making the scenario worse with each passing day.
Today my comment will be more informative and less abrasive. I’ll even give a weather update for Nikiski, Alaska. But first I want Howard to know that if he worked for me he would be encouraged to spread the word as much as possible everyday. All of my employees are involved in waking our community to this black-op war against humanity while on the clock. From gluing flyers to pizza boxes to directing people with questions to credible information. Everyone who eats at Charlie’s Pizza gets an introduction to Climate Engineering whether they like it or not.
As for the ones that won’t investigate or accept the reality of the situation, I say this. The fear and anxiety you live with is much worse when in denial then it is when you accept it and commit to exposing it. Educating yourself and informing others turns fear into optimism and hope. Every time I see someone reading a flyer or checking out a DVD of Danes presentation my fear retracts and my optimism grows.
We finally hit the 0 degree mark for the first time in over a year. The bad thing is that we don’t have any snow. We should have several feet by now. I am fearful that the roots of our already stressed forest vegetation will be even more damaged without the normal insulating snow cover.
The “scheduled’ weather for Alaska is for warm, moist, heavily aerosolized systems pushing north out of the Pacific. THEY say we’ll be back in the upper 30’s by Thursday. Which usually means we’ll reach the mid 40’s or higher. This last cold spell didn’t last long, about three days. Just long enough to build some cold air to send to the lower 48 via Jetstream manipulation.
Freedom Ranger, I empathize with your “impotent rage.” I am afflicted myself and unintentionally release it through my comments from time to time. I agree, when the evil bastards scurry underground we will seal them into their collective coffins in the graves they have dug for themselves. There’s something to look forward to.
Yes, Dane. Here in Florida we’ve had weeks of hot and humid temps. Nights are thick with moist particulate that looks like snow in the streetlights. All the air conditioners are kicking on, right through the night. The insects are completely confused…mosquitoes have hatched, which is unusual for January. The weatherbots speak only of fronts…retreating fronts, stalled fronts, fizzled out fronts, advancing fronts, dry fronts. We are the Sunshine state, yet every day here in Florida is now a depiction of just how much the sun is blocked…a blurred, muddy white blob around the sun constantly. The tourists don’t care…heck, it’s paradise to have escaped the engineered frigid polar vortex. And the weaterbots really play this card to the max. There is not a single day without spraying. Multiple planes claim the sky at any given time of day or night. Last year, there were a few days of relief, but no more. It’s a constant presence…the sight of the planes, the sour smell of the air, the suffocating white film, the lack of shadows. And the weatherbots force feeding the flavor: another wonderful week ahead of gorgeous Florida sunshine.
We are the ones who are awake.We are blessed with this awakening. Or job is to awaked more people.Today at my job I was called out for trying to help my fellow to awaken.Could loose my job.Learned not at work.Outside OK.
Houston today and yesterday none stop spraying to keep temperature down with polar vortex strengthen with their Devils Vomit.
I agree
I often amuse myself with the thought that they are populating their bunkers with the most useless members of humanity. It will be a bunch of greedy paper pushers and their useless progeny- zero life skills. I have a sublime feeling. Hahahaha! can you imagine when things break in their underground paradise. I have a feeling there wont be many capable hands to be found to put humpty dumpty together. The only ones who are going underground are the rats. These rats aren’t going to succeed at anything but delaying their own demise for a few short years, they are excising the one thing they clearly need for success, altruistic individuals. Our greatest characteristic as a race is altruism. We might actually be able to fix things when these rats go into hiding, we will be rid of the most toxic sociopathic members of the human race within months, better than evolution. When they go underground we might actually have a chance of getting things right. When they go underground we must NEVER let them back into the light of day. We might get a positive outcome after all. I guess its chin up for another day, while I yet breathe there is a chance. This is the only way I can think.
Dane,
With the size and scope of these programs, wouldn’t the supply chain be enormous? Couldn’t there be a way for some of us to narrow our field of vision and concentrate on at least one part of that supply chain to expose or even eliminate it?
Doing this might make those running these operations have more difficulty operating in secret, and bring pressure to bear further down the line.
I can see they are just buying time, they dont expect the Earth to last much longer. They need us to provision their bunkers and build their subterranean habitats. No amount of political pressure will stop the spraying. No amount of calling, no amount of waving signs and pleaing to our congressmen, they are all bought. They (the power structure from top to bottom) have invested themselves in a life or death struggle. The most we can do is get as many people aware to the fact we are being poisoned by supra-national powers without consent. We are being sprayed like rats. Hopefully a great leader will emerge who will be able to utilize this awareness, this is the most that I hope for. I would say the best thing you can do is make others aware. We must wait for this mutant colossus, these supra-national organizations and individuals, we must wait until they stumble. Then hopefully we the people might get a few breaks.
There will come the day that journalists(and many others) will have to face the reality and will have to recognize the undeniable truth but maybe then will be already too late.What they(the media ,journalists,scientists etc) are doing is to keep the big machinery working while those in power or Bildeberg group are preparing their tactital retreat or evacuation and for certain those in power will not take those journalists with them(maybe just the ones in Bildeberg secret reunions if there is any)
One thing that always confused me is how people seem to find normal or accept that their government are building underground facilities for so long and never demanded to see what´s really in there…if it is as they say by working people in there :why supplies for 20 years ?,maybe by now they already have supplies for 40 years and maybe they need it for 100 years and it all sounds to me like a world “machinery” working just to fill their needs or til they can achieve their goals …and maybe i´m wrong but geoengeneering seems like a way of masking all the horrible truth that is expecting all of us.Sometimes i think that they might be expecting a nuclear war(?).Seems that the new world order now is to kill as many people as they can in a manufactured way but looking ocasional or “natural”:Ébola,geoengeneering compounds,GMOs,wars,cancer etc .For sure they don´t pretend to share the remaining resources of a dieing planet with 7 bilion people or more and for sure they don´t want to share the right of living with more co2 makers than what the planet aloud to at this moment.I think they already must have made their eugenic(or not) choices to who is aloud to live longer or shorter according to their needs or who is to be eliminated .I think we all became too naive about who has been ruling us in the world and our fears and complacency will be signing our death !…we´ve been living in a fairy tale til now compared with what might be expecting us (if we do nothing about it)with our high technologies made to entertain us and to help us such as internet ,computers,ipods ,smart phones,cars etc. and we forgot about who was “offering” all this to us and the high price to pay for it and that was not visible to us at naked eye !Money was always the only reason we saw that could justify all these “offers” but Money is no longer justification enough cause as they say:”we are too many people for the remaining world resources”…They still leting things go ,letting people still having lots of sons in some places,no population control policies yet so what is the solution to them? wars? to kill us all silently?what??? so…what are they trying to tell us?that the solution is to kill people as a way of population control ???…so ,no surprise for me anymore when i read any theory about how they are preparing our death before we the “too many in the world ” spend all the remaining resources and destroy the planet that was made for them (the “elected ones” i guess)?…
We had 4 inches of powder dry snow last night. The temperature was almost zero today, tonight it will be below zero, again. With wind chills 25-30 below. Tomorrow it won’t even get above zero. I had to go out today, I had no choice. There were jets flying everywhere today, about a dozen of them spraying their crap. They had X’s and long lines all over and much of the spray was black. What is the black? I was very upset, why the need to cool us off even more? What is this costing to spray us when we have these kind of temps? It makes no sense, is this really necessary when we have such cold? I couldn’t help it, coming home I had to cry. When I left home they were working on the southern sky. Coming home 3/4 of the sky was overcast yet they were still spraying more on top of it, and working farther north. A half hour after I got home I looked out and the entire sky was totally covered with aerosol. It took about 3 hrs to wipe out that blue sky that we rarely even get to see. You would think when we have below zero temps they would take a day off from the spraying! I hate this! I do all I can to spread the word but I just can’t do it on days like today. Stay warm everyone, if you are in this deep freeze. One more thing, if we had a dozen jets spraying here today, how many jets do you think were spraying all over the US? I can’t imagine the cost, and for what, destroying this beautiful planet. Making everything worse. I’m so sad……
Hello SkywatcherGrandma, the goal is create a few records and then some headlines. The cold layer is very shallow as the atmosphere is stratifying from the aerosol layer interfering with convection. Mainstream media is not talking about the fact that 2014 is now officially the warmest year on record. They are not speaking about the 2400 high temperature records set last month in the lower 48 alone. They are not mentioning the record high night time low temperatures in Florida a few days ago of almost 75 degrees, or Minneapolis 10 days ago of 52 degrees ABOVE (the night time low temp), over 40 degrees above normal, they only rant and rave about the engineered cool down. As I write this at 7pm in the mountains of Northern California its still 65 degrees out, T-shirt weather. The climate engineers do not care about the decimation and contamination they are causing, they are only trying to create division and confusion to buy them time while the dig in to there underground bases preparing for total collapse of civilization and the biosphere.
The media are so afraid of exposing this is because people might think they are crazy and or they’re just afraid of being imprisoned in mental institutes. What’s crazy is those “terrorists” are spraying the skies and getting away with it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Look at what they’re doing to California. Leaving us hanging to dry for who knows how long. We need to take action. Change is what we need: An end to geoengineering. Who’s with me?
Who are journalists anyway? I say send the experts that have been studying this insanity out to the public via internet videos and such. We already know that most of the mainstream media is bought out.
I believe Dane is doing a great job at getting the information out. People need to wake up and smell the foul in the air and do something about it.
We need to contact our local government, in big numbers, and put pressure on them. We need to contact the local news in every area of the US and fill their message machines so they can’t help but report what the people are yelling about. And we need to rebuke them when they start hiding behind the false mirror.
I tend to believe that Sony was a red flag, done by the rouge.
Are we mice or men????
The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) is holding their 15th Annual Conference in D.C. Jan. 27-29, 2015. Think they will be discussing “weather modification”. Perhaps we should ask them on their fb page?
Geoengineering is defined as, “the deliberate large-scale manipulation of an environmental process that affects the earth’s climate, in an attempt to counteract the effects of global warming”. However there are so many sidebars to the term it is almost impossible to define. There are many supports and distractions that parallel geoengineering. Wars are a big profit maker for the elite, these people not only become rich through wars but also use them to support their real agenda which is world domination. A population with altered I.Q. levels from forced intake of fluoride, sick and medicated from GMO foods, more and more dependent on government handouts, robbed of quality health care, zombified through the electronic media, tracked mercilessly by the NSA, and mind controlled for sixteen years through the public schools and higher education. The very act of survival and feeding the kids is all one can handle, as the tons of heavy metal inhaled over one’s lifetime becomes simply one more thing to contend with. Geoengineering and social engineering have become one and the same.
Death is a profitable business for those who engage in it and death on a large scale can yield profits in the mega trillions of dollars to those who control wars, food, big Pharma, and populations. The potential prize at the end is too enormous for the elite to throw in the towel. Inflated egos mixed with ruthless characters make for a tough beast to reign in.
We must find life apart from those trying to destroy us, that is our only hope. If we continue to act and react as if our life depends on them growing a heart, we are dead. Let us stop judging one another. Love is a far more powerful weapon than hate. Love dilutes and dispels the effects of hate as light dispels darkness. All of the hate in the world cannot withstand one unit that comes together in unpretentious love. What if our love for one another became the weapon against the globalists? Their success depends on our fear and capitulation. If you love me more than yourself and I love you more than I love myself, nothing can stop us. We must begin to reform society around this love, this new kind of love that wants to see my neighbor succeed even to my detriment. Let love be the spotlight that focuses attention on life which itself will expose and thereby kill what will be revealed as a self centered death cult.
What if all over the world groups of ten, and fifty, and 500, and one thousand, began coming together with ideas? People with organic farming skills, construction workers, medical doctors, those skilled in mass communication, all talents ready to use them for the common good; all coming together with love being the common bond. Keeping us separated is their key advantage. What if a desire to see a new world birthed, one free from fear and tyranny began to overwhelm the world? What would happen? Because this is exactly what is going to have to take place if anyone is to survive. Love is unconquerable!
Hello Gene, you are correct on the complexity of what is occurring over our heads every day, the spraying issue carries many agendas forward. Optimism is good to a point, but challenges must still be faced. If one is standing in the middle of the freeway, turning your back to traffic and staying optimistic won’t save you. If one faces traffic, there is a much better chanced of survival.
Where are the heroes?
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing” What do these writers have to lose anyway, they are being killed “softly” so they may as well be Warriors for their Freedom. They can take my body but they can’t take my soul unless I relinquish it to them. Perhaps that’s what we are here to learn, to take our Power back.
