Who are we?

Writing Anonymously

Thomas R. Eddlem, writing for The New American, said; "Anonymous speech has a long and important role in American history. The 13 colonies may never had  achieved independence had Samuel Adams not repeatedly written anonymously under pen names like  “Vindex.” The U.S. Constitution would likely not have been adopted without the anonymous Federalist Papers from Madison, Hamilton, and Jay under the pen name “Publius.” (The anti-federalists also published anonymously using names such as “Brutus” and “Cato.”) Even after the Constitution was adopted, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison debated President Washington's neutrality policy in newspapers anonymously using the names Pacificus, Helvidius, and Americanus."

So . . . Why do we write anonymously?  Two main reasons.

The same two reasons most anonymous writers write anonymously:

1. To remove personalities from substance. So the messages will not be overshadowed by the messengers. This community committed suicide before, by letting their prejudice of persons overwhelm them.Unlike some, who are name droppers and expect a following of brain dead zombies simply because they believe that they are someone, we don't expect anyone to follow us. We subscribe to Romans 2:11; For there is no respect of persons with God. Rather, we hope intelligent, open-minded people will read and learn, think and act for themselves. Admittedly, our coverage seems negative, as it often is.  We have addressed this fact early on. One of the reasons we are here is to give balance.  All the other media act as mere propaganda outlets, continually painting a rosy picture [for those itchy ears]. They refuse to report any truth that appears negative, and we find no merit in redoubling their work. If you choose to receive your information like an Ostrich, then don't read our site. If you believe every coin must have two sides, you'll only find "wholeness," or "the rest of the story" here.
2. Protection. We committed ourselves in the beginning to write anonymously to insure the greatest longevity of this voice, and this site, for your edification. We knew that litigation was a favorite tool of those who disrespect FIRST AMENDMENT rights, as they often Brazingly Say; "we will do whatever's necessary," and that includes "whatever's necessary" to silence their opposition. We determined to make it just a bit more difficult to "prove" in court who it is  they wanted to muzzle. As for secretive? ... you'd have to be very new or very dense not to know some of our supporters. At least the most evil in our community think they know, as they hurl missiles from their speeding pickup. We are constantly confronting, as The Shadow of long ago used to say; "Evil that lurks in the hearts of men." Some contributors want absolute personal confidentiality and they have good reason. Their jobs, their homes, their children's well being and even their lives would be in jeopardy. Such is the depth of this evil. We have already chronicled here, acts of crime including vandalism, theft, arson, and attempted murder against our supporters. [Not reported previously, a very large dark haired woman in a shiny new black Ford pick-up, probably dropping off a kid at school, turned south from Church and tried to run one of us down crossing the highway in front of the VFW. She turned her wheel and aimed directly at him for 3 to 4 truck lengths all the way to the edge of the highway, while staring straight at him.] This community has at least one unsolved hit and run murder already, and that murderer probably still walks among us.  We will take every precaution available against this Resident Evil, including anonymity.

So . . . Who are we anyway? We wax poetic . . .
