Over the years we’ve heard of various Internet writers being called the “conscience” of the 9-11 movement, or the “conscience” of the patriot movement.

But from our perspective, the conscience has always been something that reminds us of, or points out, wrongdoing. In fact, here is a definition from Dictionary.com: “The awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one's conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong: Let your conscience be your guide.” But when our conscience fails to trigger alarms and instead falls silent, it no longer fills its role as - nor can it be thought of as - a conscience.

This point is of vital importance because we desperately need “writers of conscience” to keep the Truth Movement honest. The reason why is obvious: if we fail to uphold a higher standard than the mainstream media, then we’ll eventually become mirror-images of them. In addition, the commentaries produced by these scribes serve as a rallying point for that which is right, ultimately leading us in the proper direction. But when these voices are muted by heavy-handed forces within our own alternative media, a vacuum arises and our moral compass spins out-of-control like a ship without a rudder.

The worst part is: these very same authors have in the past shouted from the rooftops that if just a few people in the government or the corporate media spoke out, it would expose an array of injustices, sway public opinion, and potentially eradicate the mess surrounding us. But due to an ominous fear-factor which has increasingly made the alternative media reminiscent of the mainstream media, so too are these writers being quieted, just like their counterparts at Newsweek or The Washington Post. This "fear factor" about which we speak occurs when writers are afraid to speak out because their articles will be black-listed by certain website owners (i.e. Jeff Rense), or they'll be prohibited from appearing on various "Company Men" radio shows. Is this how you think the "alternative media" should operate?

And it truly is a shame because what we’ve been speaking about lately on WING TV is censorship – on radio shows, archives, websites, and forums. Instead of promoting open, responsible discussion, though, these radio show hosts, moderators, and website owners simply hang up on their callers (just like the mainstream media), delete entire articles (just like the mainstream media), or censor anything that they don’t agree with or which casts them in a negative light (just like the mainstream media). The end result is that our First Amendment is being trampled in a fashion that is far worse than that being done by the government or corporate media. This disturbing phenomenon should rock each and every one of us to our very core, for if we allow the cornerstone of our Constitution to be so summarily dismissed, then everything that is left of our freedom will surely follow behind it.

Is this what you want? If the answer is no, then let your conscience rise above your fear; and let your voice ring out louder than those of network company men like Jeff Rense and Alex Jones who want you to remain meek, silent, unquestioning, and passive. We’re talking about not only the heart and soul of this movement, but also our nation as a whole. Your silence in this matter implies complicity; and if you fail to become part of the solution, you are – by default – part of the problem.

Luckily, there are still a few among us who aren’t rolling over and playing dead on the censorship issue, specifically: radio talk show host Vyzygoth of From the Grassy Knoll, Chris Emery from the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee (OKBIC), patriot extraordinaire Rick Stanley, Rick Biesada (Chicago talk-show host, Minuteman member, and author of The Angry White Male), 9-11 Verses commentator Michael Langston, researcher Thomas Holbrook, the guys at Revere Radio, and all those in The New World Order Corner discussion forum. Plus, we’ve been inundated by hundreds of e-mails from WING TV viewers who tell us they “get it” and who encourage us to keep their feet to the fire and not back down. All of these individuals are our current Voices of Conscience, and we can’t commend them enough for their work.
