2011-03-11 Is the US 'Day of Rage' being censored? #USDOR

ImageWL Central will be updating news on the United States, with new items added at the top. You can contact me on twitter @GeorgieBC or by email at admin@wlcentral.org.

Current time and date in Washington, DC:


FRIDAY, March 11

Not many day of rages warrant steady coverage on their second day. But, even with no official date this protest is gaining momentum very quickly. According to many twitter users, quickly enough to be censored on its first day, both the twitter profile and the hash tag. Also quickly enough to be taken over by fringe groups who are also trying to dilute Bradley Manning Day. From a pirate pad "ANNOUNCEMENT : MARCH 20 is a day reserved for Bradley Manning. NO PROTESTS except for him."

@USDayofRage will announce date after 50,000 followers

THURSDAY, March 10

Following in the footsteps of revolutions taking place across North Africa, the Middle East, and Near East; it appears that a 'Day of Rage' is coming to the United States. Or so it seems, according to a new profile created on Twitter, @USDayofRage.

In what appears to be the beginning effort of a group of activists, two profiles: an active one on Twitter, @USDayofRage, and one parked and inactive on Facebook, Usday of rage [sic], appear to be in the process of being readied. As of today, the twitter profile has 104 followers.

Beyond Political Parties

The twitter profile for @USDayofRage states, "The US gov't & major political parties corrupt the principles of good governance & pervert the public interest. They don't represent us. Does it make you angry?"

Call To Action: Hash-Tag List of Grievances

The active profile on Twitter has a call to action for citizens to lists their grievances by using the twitter hash-tag #USDOR.

Hash-Tag Revolutionary Debates

The hash-tag #USDOR lists US torture, outdated institutional models and the need for institutional reform for the 21st century; propaganda and a lack of freedom of the press; surveillance and privacy protection; political and corporate corruption and the growth of the military industrial complex as major grievances. More are listed in the below chirpstory:

As reported today in the Jordan Times: "Hashtag Debates are a continuation of similar online dialogues about democracy and political reforms, which have been taking place on Twitter and other social networking websites, the main tool used to mobilise the recent popular revolutions and protests in the Arab street."

paper dollar bills

Producing paper dollar bills is a more costly proposal than ever, states AOL News. I found this here: U.S. eyes replacing paper dollar bills with dollar coins That's why Senators Shelby, Robert Casey and Tom Harkin are continuing a struggle that in one form or another has been fought since United States President Andrew Jackson held office in the 1830s. On behalf of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Senators are calling on Congress, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury to pull $1 notes from circulation and substitute them outright with $1 coins.
