John Ward is a retired Ad executive in the UK (Gitmo Nation East) who publishes his investigative journalism exclusively on his blog title "The Slog"

I've been following his work for almost a year.

He wrote a seminal essay today about the ever tightening noose around the vocal chords of the independent voice. It appears he is being systematically shut down. Not because there is some evil plan to do so, but because the system is now being fine tuned to put the Citizen/User/Individual squarely on the bottom rung of every food chain.

Dvorak and I have been proclaiming for years that the UK is a beta test for the global police state, where we are told to shut up, sit down and take our meds.

Read John's piece and consider your own options for protecting your privacy, your (online) speech and general welfare, in a world increasingly controlled by elites in centralized non elected organizations.

I was particularly pleased to see John's suggestion of following his work through his RSS feed, which I have now added to the No Agenda News Network river of news to help exposes that page's tens of thousands of readers to his work and insight.

While John may not realize it directly, his instincts are correct. For no company or organization can turn off, shut down, or suspend RSS. Sure, a feed can be disrupted or broken, but can be restored within seconds elsewhere. The No Agenda News Network readers may suffer a temporary disruption, but probably won't miss a single post.

Once again, The Slog is leading the way forward in the fight. I applaud my brother in arms.

Pink-haired Hilda and oddball loner Benji are not your typical teenagers. Instead of going to parties or hanging out at the mall, they comb the city streets and suburban culs-de-sac of Los Angeles for sites of celebrity murder and suicide. Bound by their interest in the macabre, Hilda and Benji neglect their schoolwork and their social lives in favor of prowling the most notorious crime scenes in Hollywood history and collecting odd mementos of celebrity death.

Kathy Charles is in the studio to talk about her first novel and life in Los Angeles
