I too am discerning and skeptical of what I believe in the course of my own studies, but you know what?: If you haven't studied something don't judge it! And certainly, you have no right to censor it from others' purview. Study it FIRST, study it again, and put the puzzle pieces back together in the ways YOU think make sense to your education and thinking abilities, and Lighted Intuition. Not what you are TOLD it is. In other words, we, the people have the right and the need to this suppressed information; whether you believe it or not is essentially irrelevant to the concepts of American freedom, in my humble opinion. I submit that it is a citizen's duty to expand one's awareness to encompass what's outside the box, as well as our more conventional "education". And it is our responsibility to assure that our minds are not monopolized with what the "elites" of High Finance demand, or by the mimickry of "mainstream media" on the local level, and I mean this generically.
We must stand up to the Federal Communications Commission's corrupt intrusion against Free Speech in Arcata and all places. The only true cause of an F.C.C. is to assure that frequencies are distributed or shared so that the many can produce broadcasts without interfering with one another, and so that none have to be subjected to what one doesn't choose to be "programmed" with! But the F.C.C. is a de facto tool of the Monopolies, and here again, alternative viewpoints, other than disinformation versions which defame the original presenters, are censored. This is relevant to suppressed science, history, and current events. This Speech is being quashed by the Monopolies' public "regulatory" agencies. Sounds like "self-regulating" by their control of the public sector too. For no good reason.
But how would you know if you don't have the other sides or if you don't even question that there is a monopoly interest in the "news" as presented on their networks and chain newspapers? Don't be a stupid bigot, STUDY it, THEN JUDGE for yourself; critique it all, and always update your opinions and beliefs. Wisdom has the humility to accept being in error without throwing out the whole ball of wax in ego humiliation.
Arcata, or even one loud-mouthed media exposed Councilperson can make a big difference in the absurdity of the F.C.C. coming into our area and shutting down micro-power radio stations that start to present what the "elites" don't want us to hear, as was my experience when election season started 2 years ago, and certain City Council persons were being criticized on a local "pirate radio" station, and the F.C.C. "happened" to show up. I personally witnessed Councilman Ornelas come to the radio station to complain at the end of the first show. Perhaps it was just a routine check, but the F.C.C. doesn't seem to be all that concerned with "pornography" as it does with what actually causes political change. We can light the fires of public opinion, network with other communities, especially from the advantage of being in City Government, and cause the agencies of monopoly to back off or make their ridiculous control issue moreblatant.Without violence.
