Political correctness (adjectivally, politically correct; both forms commonly abbreviated to PC) is a term used to describe language, ideas, policies, or behavior seen as seeking to minimize offense to racial, cultural, or other identity groups. Conversely, the term politically incorrect is used to refer to language or ideas that may cause offense or that are unconstrained by orthodoxy.
The term itself and its usage are controversial. The term "political correctness" is used almost exclusively in a pejorative sense,[1][2] while "politically incorrect" is commonly used as a self-description, as in the series of "politically incorrect guides', produced by conservative publisher Regnery.
Some commentators have argued that the term "political correctness" is a straw man invented by conservatives in the 1990s in order to challenge progressive social change, especially with respect to issues of race, religion and gender.[1][4] Ruth Perry traces the term back to Mao's little red book. According to Perry, the term was later adopted by the radical left in the 1960s. In the 1990s, because of the term's association with radical politics and communist censorship, it was used by the political right in the United States to discredit the political left, including liberals and Democrats.

Martin Luther King, Jr. - The "I Have A Dream" Speech - 1963
"I Have a Dream"
Martin Luther King, Jr.
..
..
Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968), was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. King was a Baptist minister, one of the few leadership roles available to black men at the time. He became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955 - 1956) and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1957), serving as its first president. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. Here he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.
King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Martin Luther King Day was established as a national holiday in the United States in 1986. In 2004, King was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.

Dishonesty And Corruption In Government...? Say It Isn't So.

Alex Jones Arrested In New York For Protesting 9/11 Anniversary
NEW YORK - Media activist Alex Jones was arrested by New York Police Department officers while filming a documentary about the sixth anniversary of September 11th and joining the protest against the official version of what happened on 9/11.
According to Infowars sources Jones was singled out by police from the head of a crowd of about 400 9/11 Truth Activists and protesters. He was verbally accosted and forced by the police officers to present identification which he was not carrying at the time.
NYPD officers arrested Jones for "unspecified charges" and removed him from the protest crowd to be taken to the nearest police precinct where he was later released following a protest outside the jail by other 9/11 truthers who chanted "let him go".
Jones was arrested during a protest of the live Geraldo broadcast on Fox News.
The demonstrators had tried to obtain a "permit" for the protest but were refused by authorities. Officers later ticketed Jones for "using a sound device without a permit".
However, other people who were simply filming the arrest were also arrested themselves.
Alex said the arresting officer was overbearing and that having the cuffs slapped on him hurt more than when he cut his finger off in a boating accident.
The officer physically charged and assaulted individuals who were not even involved in the protest, such as Discovery Channel cameramen.
Alex Jones' cameraman Rob Jacobson was also pushed by cops and then punched in the shoulder for "obstructing police business" despite the fact that he was stood well away from the area on the sidewalk.
Two British cameramen who were part of the We Are Change UK group were also arrested for "blocking traffic".
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene where police simply waded in, assaulting and arresting people on a whim, but noted that Alex Jones was singled out immediately after cops arrived.
Geraldo Rivera and Fox News chiefs were responsible for calling the police and having protesters arrested.
The group were told that they didn't have a permit to protest. A permit is government permission to do something that would otherwise be illegal - meaning the right to peaceably assemble and free speech as defined in the Constitution have been officially outlawed.

Martial Law And What It Means To You And Your Family
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, THE INCREMENTAL SLIDE TOWARDS MILITARY DICTATORSHIP IN THE USA, SOON TO BE UNION OF NORTH AMERICA, HAS INCREASED TO THUNDEROUS GALLOPS, IN LIGHT OF THE SPP SUMMIT IN MONTEBELLO,QUEBEC & THE STAGED PROTEST THAT COMES WITH IT.
THE SAME MARTIAL LAW PLEAS THAT WERE DECLARED SO SECRET THAT CONGRESS WEREN’T EVEN ALLOWED TO LOOK AT THE PROVISIONS!
AS NEWS BROKE YESTERDAY THAT THE CLERGY ARE BEING RECRUITED TO HELP QUELL DISSENT UNDER MARTIAL LAW, IT ALARMED ME, AS THIS STORY WAS BROKEN IN MAY 2006 BY ALEX JONES AT PRISONPLANET.COM
I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MARTIAL LAW AND ’RELOCATION’ CAMPS MEAN TO YOU & YOUR LOVED ONES, ESPECIALLY UNDER THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
FORMER HEAD OF CENTCOM, TOMMY FRANKS DESCRIBES WHAT WILL HAPPEN AS
“"What is the worst thing that can happen in our country?" Franks asked rhetorically. "Two steps. The first step would be a nexus between weapons of mass destruction . . . and terrorism." The second step would be "the western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we've seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy."
Franks suggested that a "massive casualty-producing event" might cause "our population to question our own Constitution and begin to militarize our country."
PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROJECT FOR DECADES, AND THE REALIZATION OF THE GLOBALIST DREAM OF DESTROYING AMERICA.
WHEN “ANTI TERROR” DRILLS ARE BEING CARRIED OUT, YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE SCENARIOS BEING PLAYED ARE ALL ABOUT TAKING OVER AMERICA.
BREAKING UP YOUR FAMILY
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT TO OCCUR WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS TRAINING ILLEGALS TO CARRY THIS OUT? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT MARTIAL LAW TO BE LIKE WHEN IT’S NOT EVEN CONCEALED THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT SEIZING GUNS, PROPERTY & WEALTH?
WHAT WOULD SEIZING GUNS HAVE TO DO WITH STOPPING AL-QAEDA? ASK YOURSELF THAT! I DOUBT YOUR HOME IS A HOTBED OF TERROR.
BETTER YET, ASK YOURSELF WHY FEMA HAS BEEN TRAINING THEIR AGENTS THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE TERRORISTS?
WHY HAS THE GOVERNMENT BEEN PLANNING TO DEAL WITH ‘REBELS’ & ARE ACTIVELY DRAFTING CONTINTENTAL WAR PLANS TO DEAL WITH ‘INSURGENCY’??
DON’T FORGET THE SOUND WEAPONS AND MICROWAVE WEAPONS THAT HAVE BEEN ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR ‘DISSENT’
THESE ARE QUESTIONS WE MUST ASK OURSELVES, AND ASK OURSELVES SERIOUSLY IF THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUT OF LIFE.

Zeitgeist: The Movie
Zeitgeist was created as a not for profit expression to inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective and to understand that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The information in Zeitgeist was established over a year long period of research and the current Source page on this site lists the sources used / referenced.
Soon, an interactive transcript will be online with detailed footnotes and links.
It's important to point out that there is a tendency to simply disbelieve things that are counter to our understanding, without the necessary research performed.
For example, some information contained in Part 1 and Part 3, specifically, is not obtained by simple keyword searches on the Internet. You have to dig deeper. For instance, very often people who look up "Horus" or "The Federal Reserve" on the Internet draw their conclusions from very general or biased sources. Online encyclopedias or text book Encyclopedias often do not contain the information contained in Zeitgeist.
However, if one takes the time to read the sources provided, they will find that what is being presented is based on documented evidence. Any corrections, clarifications & further points regarding the film are found on the Clarifications page. Downloadable formats are also now available, along with DVDs by request.
