FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Christopher Francis Young (D) Candidate for United States Senate 2008 and Rhode Island
State Leader for Ron Paul for President 2008 Joins the Anti-War Protest in Boston .
PROVIDENCE, RI - On Saturday October 27th, 2007, democrat Christopher Francis Young
candidate for U.S. Senate in 2008 joined the Anti-War protest in Boston on that drew well over
10,000 protestors.
Chris Young, state leader in Rhode Island for Ron Paul for President 2008 and Ron Paul Rhode
Island ballot placement coordinator, joined one of the largest Anti-War protests in the region
since the Vietnam War protests of the 1960’s.
Chris Young is also the National Director of the National Civil Rights Coalition, NationalCRC.
org. Young stated, “The NCRC and Ron Paul 2008 are more than happy to join over 150
organizations in protest to the Iraq war and any further actions between the United States and
Iran . The NCRC wants to make its position very clear, we now oppose James Langevin,
“Jack” John Reed and Patrick Kennedy for their Pro-War positions on funding the war and for
voting in favor of Anti-Civil Rights legislation they have sponsored. This legislation includes H.
R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, sponsored
by James Langevin. This legislation is no better than Nazi law that enslaved Anti-War
protesters, Jews and Christians into the death camps of Nazi Germany. This is one of the main
reasons I have decided to run for the United States Senate in 2008 and have joined the Ron
Paul Presidential campaign. I have done this to fight against the growth of this global corporate
fascist agenda. Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root had been awarded a $385
million dollar contract by Homeland Security to construct detention and processing facilities. I
will not allow the same atrocities to occur upon the American people as did occur in Nazi
Germany.”

110th Congress: S. 1959 (Status: Introduced)
According to the US State Department, anyone who believes that “vast, powerful, evil forces
are secretly manipulating events,” is a conspiracy theorist. [1] Belief that our government
answers to a secret higher authority is an “extremist belief system,” according to the authors
of the “Prevention of Homegrown Terrorism Act – H.R. 1955.” [2] Spreading these beliefs to
“advance political, religious, or social change” is defined as “radicalization.” If you believe that
the creators and dispensers of fiat money and their corporations control our democratic
Republic and manipulate events to outcomes favorable to their control, then you are an
extremist. If you are trying to educate your fellow countrymen, to democratically change this
equation, then you may find yourself accused of “facilitating ideologically-based violence.”
"Thought Crime Bill" Could Ensnare Peaceful Activists

A new bill that recently passed the House and is headed for Senate approval has online activists
worried that the vague definitions used for defining the Internet's contribution to radicalization
of potential terrorists could lead to a government crackdown on talk radio, free speech and the
9/11 truth movement.
The bill is H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
and passed Congress after a bipartisan vote on October 23rd.
Ostensibly, the bill targets United States citizens because of its constant reference to basic
Constitutional protections, but this has led some to fear that it is intended to shut down free
speech on the Internet and stifle patriot and alternative talk radio networks.
The bill defines "violent radicalization" as "The process of adopting or promoting an extremist
belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political,
religious, or social change."
It further defines "homegrown terrorism" as "The use, planned use, or threatened use, of
force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within
the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United
States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in
furtherance of political or social objectives."
The term "planned use" has caused concerns that "thinking about violence," ie thought crime,
could be considered a terrorist act. But since to plan violence must involve some form of
planning, whether that be drawing up bomb diagrams or making violent statements, the real
threat seems to have been overlooked.
A disturbing trend in recent months has been the proliferation of violent postings on
messageboards of websites affiliated with peaceful 9/11 truth organizations.
These messages are being posted by shameless trolls, COINTELPRO operatives and their
stooges in a clear effort to discredit the 9/11 truth movement by making us all appear to be
crazy nutcases who plan to commit terrorist acts.
Establishment media hacks like Glenn Beck have then seized upon the idea to spew propaganda
about how the next Timothy McVeigh will come from the truth movement, despite the fact that
the leadership of the truth movement have practiced what they preach all along, by engaging in
completely peaceful protests and other forms of non-violent educational activism.
The bill's reference to how "The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization,
ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by
providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States
citizens," is shocking.
Remember, the bill is not aimed at "Al-Qaeda" websites or arabic forums that post alleged Bin
Laden video tapes, it is aimed at American citizens using American based websites, like the
very one you're reading now.
The opportunity for the state to seize upon violent posts left by trolls and use them to entrap
peaceful 9/11 truthers under the guise that they "promoted violence" should be a major
concern for us all.
Our message is simply this - don't even try it.
We have preached a doctrine of absolute non-violence from the very beginning and we will
continue to do so. Anyone who calls for violence in a messageboard post is either a Fed, a
Mom's basement dwelling troll who spends their entire day attempting to debunk the 9/11 truth
movement, or a completely deluded moron who is unrepresentative of the vast majority of the
9/11 truth movement.
Those individuals who advocate violence should be sought out and investigated individually. Any
plans to try and entrap prominent 9/11 truth movement figures using guilt by association
should be abandoned immediately and we will ceaselessly emphasize this point until this current
wave of propaganda subsides.
