The Vampire Squid is concerned with sucking your money dry and it wants to suck away your freedom as the line between corporations and government has been blurred. Each and every one of us is a prisoner in the Gulag Archipelago, the New United States. We are denied freedom and liberty as well as due process in a court of law. The master criminals of corporations such as Goldman face a supreme court willing to give out get of of jail free cards for future use. The Supreme court has locked down its front doors a symbolic end to this country, The United States. The reality being that our liberty has been lost where each of us is a criminal ready to be arrested at a whim. Breaking the US just imposed fines and felony charges that could apply to media covering the gulf of Mexico Spill. Clinton goes off to foreign lands saying that activists worldwide are in danger as a new iron curtain has emerged. Does she realize that we are endangered here at home? What reality is she living in one of her own making. For us we are living in the iron curtain gulag of America Past. Hopelessly imprisoned by a Fascist and criminal corporate government.
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is a broadcaster funded by the US Congress that provides what some claim is US-centric news, information, and analysis to countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East "where the free flow of information is either banned by government authorities or not fully developed." RFE/RL is supervised by the Broadcasting Board of Governors, an apparently bipartisan federal agency overseeing all US international broadcasting services. Founded as an anti-communist source of information during the Cold War, RFE/RL was headquartered at Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany from 1949 to 1995. In 1995, the headquarters were moved to Prague in the Czech Republic. European operations have been significantly reduced since the end of the Cold War. In addition to the headquarters, the service currently maintains 20 local bureaus in countries throughout their broadcast region, as well as a corporate office in Washington, DC. RFE/RL broadcasts in 28 languages to 21 countries including Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. Radio Free Europe was created and grew in its early years through the efforts of the National Committee for a Free Europe (NCFE), a US anti-communist organization that was formed in New York City in 1949. The committee was composed of an "A list" of powerful US citizens including former ambassador and first NCFE chairman Joseph Grew; Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director Allen Dulles; Reader's Digest owner ...
The concept of the Iron Curtain symbolized the ideological fighting and physical boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. On either side of the Iron Curtain, states developed their own international economic and military alliances: * The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the military Warsaw Pact on the east side, with the Soviet Union as most important member of each * The European Community and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on the west and south, with the United States of America as the area's military powerhouse Physically, the Iron Curtain took the shape of border defenses between the countries of Western and Eastern Europe, most notably the Berlin Wall, which served as a longtime symbol of the Curtain as a whole.[1] Demolition of the Iron Curtain started in Hungary during the summer of 1989 (for example: removal of Hungary's border fence and the Pan-European Picnic) when thousands of East Germans began to emigrate to West Germany via Hungary on September 11, foreshadowing the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. The border of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (CSSR) to Western Europe, mainly to NATO-member Federal Republic of Germany (less so to neutral Austria), was during the Cold War until 1989 as fortified as the Inner German border of the German Democratic Republic, to prevent citizens of the Eastern Bloc from escaping to the West, although official ...

This speech may be regarded as the most important Churchill delivered as Leader of the Opposition (1945-1951). It contains certain phrases "the special relationship," "the sinews of peace"-which at once entered into general use, and which have survived. But it is the passage on "the iron curtain" which attracted immediate international attention, and had incalculable impact upon public opinion in the United States and in Western Europe. Russian historians date the beginning of the Cold War from this speech. In its phraseology, in its intricate drawing together of several themes to an electrifying climax - his speech may be regarded as a technical classic.

Edited DARPA video showing 2008 tests of the Artis-developed Iron Curtain anti-RPG active protection system for light tactical vehicles - here an HMMWV. DARPA in November 2009 awarded Mustang Technologies a contract to integrate Iron Curtain with its Crosshairs counter-shooter system for tests on an MRAP. Cued by the corner-mounted Crosshairs' radar, an optical sensor classifies the incoming threat and selects the aimpoint. When the RPG is just inches from the vehicle, the roof-mounted countermeasure fires straight down, deflagrating the warhead before it can detonate.

Laszlo Tokes, è un pastore calvinista e l'eroe della Rivoluzione di Timisoara. Il suo coraggio e la forza della sua predicazione l'hanno portato, il 15 dicembre 1989, all'insurrezione che ha deposto il tiranno Nicolae Ceausescu. E' la fine dell'ultimo regime comunista e della Cortina di Ferro. www.theironcurtaindiaries.org ironcurtain1989.2009@gmail.com

Németh Miklós 89 Határokon át 2 Documentary on how a renegade band of illegal immigrants and a few visionary leaders in Hungarian society conspired with Gorbachev to bring down the Berlin Wall in 1989. The Nemeth government took power on Nov 26th 1988 and immediately started the transition of Hungarian society to a pluralistic market economy and democracy. On March 10ht 1989 the foreign minister Gyula Horn signed the treaty with his soviet counterpart Shevardnadze for the withdrawal of soviet troops and got verbal assurances from Gorbachev that he has the freedom to act in accordance to Hungary's national sovereignty as far as Hungary's internal affairs were concerned, and soviet troops will not interfere. On August 19th 700 east German citizens were allowed to cross the border into Austria, an event coordinated with border guards and political leaders on both sides of the border. This event marked the beginning of a steady stream of "illegal" defections from East Germany to West Germany via Hungary and Austria. Less than 3 months later the Berlin Wall came down as a direct consequence of this unprecedented act of defiance and courage. 1989 August Timeline: www.chronik-der-mauer.de english language interview with Nemeth: www.youtube.com

Short segment of Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain speech.
In the city of Sopron, in Hungary (next to the border with Austria) there are monuments to remember what happened 20 years ago, in 1989 - the Pan-European Picnic in which people broke through the fence that separated both countries. They say it is important to remember because it was a "civil movement" and it was people to made a move to "change their lives". By Sofia Diogo Mateus
