Craig Cobb the founder of Podblanc.com Arrested in Estonia!
Eesti rejected my asylum & put me in jail. They called me racist, said there is now a ten year ban on me in Estonia since Feb. of 2007. They said in court that the kingdom of Sweden had some trial in Absenta agaist me – indictment, action ruling, something. The translator gave it all those names. So I guess if I show up in Sweden I would be arrested too.
For over a decade Dr. John Wilson has taken court action seeking to have judges, government and banks obey the law. As his Website explains:
“The banks have corrupted parliaments and courts in order to achieve their seemingly invincible position. Through the parliaments, banks have set in place legislation which forms the blue print and provides the means to realize their goal.
However, such legislation can only be enforced through the courts where, if justice were to prevail, bad laws would be vetoed and rejected in fair trials or tribunals. That is why the banks have to have dominance over the courts. They do this by firstly controlling the judges and secondly eliminating juries—thereby removing any possibility that the judges may “do right” or that the people may exercise their will.

Every so often someone comes along who is so brave and so inspiring that you just can’t sit by and remain silent when you learn they need your help.
Et brev fra Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, og Neve Gordon
We’re writing to you today about one of these rare people.
His name is Ezra Nawi.

When George W. Bush Had Alex Jones Arrested For Asking A Question
During a 1998 Bush rally and speech at DuPont Photomask Facility, Alex asks the following question.
“Sir, shouldn’t we abolish the Federal Reserve and the CFR? That’s the real reality that none of you will talk about and most of you are members. That’s what’s destroying this country governor. Don’t you stand for America sir? What about the Federal Reserve and the CFR?”‘
Alex is then grabbed by Texas police, taken outside and handcuffed. The cameraman is threatened as he films the entire incident. Afterwards, Alex was kidnapped and driven around for half an hour before being thrown out on the side of the road. All for the crime of asking a question!

A well-known dissident has been formally arrested after being detained for six months on suspicion of inciting subversion, Chinese state media has reported.
Liu Xiaobo was charged on with “alleged agitation activities” aimed at overthrowing the government and the nation’s socialist system, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Wednesday.
He has been in police custody since December 8, the day before the publication of a document that he co-authored, appealing for political reform in China and an end to one-party rule.
“Liu has been engaged in agitation activities, such as the spreading of rumours and defaming of the government, aimed at subversion of the state and overthrowing the socialism system in recent years,” Xinhua News Agency quoted a Beijing police statement as saying.

VIETNAM: Lawyer and dissident writer arbitrary detained
16 June 2009
RAN 25/09
The Writers in Prison Committee (WiPC) of International PEN is seriously concerned about the detention of Le Cong Dinh, lawyer and dissident writer arrested on 13 June 2009. The authorities have charged him with ‘spreading propaganda against the state’, which carries a twenty year prison term. International PEN fears that Le Cong Dinh may be held for his legitimate reporting, and if so, it calls for his immediate and unconditional release in accordance with Article 19 of the United Nations International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights to which Vietnam is a signatory.
Father Nguyen Van Ly, a Catholic priest and dissident who has been under house arrest since 19 February, accused of “hostile propaganda against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.”
“We are very worried about these three dissidents and, in general, about all the pro-democracy activists who signed the ’Bloc 8406’ petition in their real names,” the press freedom organisation said. “Vietnam made a big effort to appear acceptable while negotiating its admittance to the World Trade Organisation and preparing the APEC summit, but now that is over, it is trying to stifle the pro-democracy movement that Nguyen Van Dai represents.”
Father Ly was on hunger strike from 24 February to 5 March, after he was transferred to the Ben Cui parish building in Phong Xuan, a town some distance from the central city of Hue, where he lives and helps to edit the independent magazine, Tu do Ngôn luan.
He is being guarded by about 20 policemen and is forbidden to leave the parish building. He is not allowed to go to church, cannot receive visits from friends and was reportedly manhandled by some of the policemen on 26 February. Reporters Without Borders calls on the authorities to permit Ly to return to Hue as soon as possible and to allow him to leave his home.
Vietnam is on the Reporters Without Borders list of 13 Internet Enemies. Four other cyber-dissidents – Truong Quoc Huy, Le Nguyen Sang (”Nguyen Hoang Long), Huynh Nguyen Dao (”Huynh Viet Lang”) and Nguyen Vu Binh – are currently detained.
