A Future With Free Speech?


Using Photo Booth I project myself through the internet as I talk about lost freedoms.

Censored by Who?



A large part of my blog is gone. Who censored it? I don't know.

The parts of the blog that was censored by "I don't know who", were politically charged. Freedom of Speech seems more like a joke every day to me. The part of the blog that was censored was censored before, back in 2007.

Part of what I wrote must have been the truth.

My Brand of Censorship

This post was originally posted on Diesel Spleen on 11-4-07.

I believe in some forms of censorship. I was censored for the first time on the internet when my post Damnation Donuts was deleted on my blog Diesel Spleen. I'm glad Blogger censored that post and I regret I wrote the mean punch line to the set up of the title.

That one line was out of context to the story The Donut Bribe which is the true tale of low level police corruption and my own personal corruption.
Most police have treated me with respect with very few exceptions.

My apologies to the police of the world for my lap in judgment in posting Damnation Donuts.

No one really wants a world without censorship, we all just want a world with our own brand of censorship.

All posts that originally appeared in the blog Diesel Spleen and are now posted in Endangered Truth have been removed from the older blog.

I Love Censorship


This might be my last post and I can't tell you why.

After a name change and a new direction for this blog, I think I've found a way to tell my truth by censoring what I write in a way people can read between the lines.

I love censorship because it makes you more cleaver in getting the truth to the public.

Who is this Person?


Former Censored of Censored was a big part of the original edit of the movie BFB. As I'm no longer involved in the production or post production, I don't know how large a part she will play in the final cut of the movie. I have a negative view of Censored. Is my negative view justified?
I'm not sure.
I have never spoken to Censored but I have videotaped her many times. Once I had my camera only a few inches from her face as she cut in front of me in a crowd to escape hard questions from Censored. To her credit the body guard that protected her never threaten me for videotaping the Censored. Censored had a different experience than I did and was Censored by Censored when he tried to videotape Censored at a open meeting under the sunshine law. I wasn't there but I have no doubt Censored was telling me the truth. Perhaps the Censored and Censored over reacted to Censored style of camera work. Censored sued the Censored
for the Censored which lead to some of the best footage in the original edit.
During the time I was known as the Co-Director of Censored I had a morning meeting with Censored at his office. The meeting ended early and I began my long drive home.
I was 20 miles from Censored when I heard on my van radio that Censored was having a press conference that afternoon at Censored to announce her plans for an Censored downtown. Upon hearing this I knew Censored and I could get into the press conference because of his pending Censored against the Censored. At this point in the production I knew I had underbid the contract for the movie and gas money was the biggest dent in my budget. I drove a few more miles before I turned the van around. Getting the press conference on video was more important than my budget. Censored was still in his office when I got back but hadn't heard about the press conference.

"Do you really think we can get in?"

"Censored you have a Censored against the Censored, she won't dare stop us."

We got into the press conference and Censored asked Censored the last question.
It was a great question and she gave a condescending answer. Censored and I caught the whole thing on video.

After Emanate Domain was used to force the sell of many small businesses to the city to make way for the new downtown the demolition began. I was video taping the wreaking ball destroying the Censored building when I decided to get a shot from the observation deck of Censored City Hall. After 9-11 you could only go to the observation deck with a security guard. After checking in with security on ground level I was told go to the basement and wait by the elevators. As I waited for the security guard, Censored came out of one of the basement elevators. The last thing I wanted was to have the Censored think I was some kind of stalker with a camera. Video taping the Censored at a town meeting or a political rally seemed fair but this was just a creepy accident of timing. I held my camera at my side while turning the lens away from the direction of the Censored. I tried not to make eye contact as she walked past me towards the city hall underground parking lot. I didn't turn to look at the Censored until she was through the double glass doors. When I did look, she was on her cell phone looking directly at me.

"Great, security is never going to let me get my shot now."

I thought to myself as the CENSORED turned and disappeared into the parking lot.
The security guard took me up to observation deck a few minutes later.
He asked what I was going to use the video for and I told him the truth. As I left city hall with my shot on tape I decided not to press my luck and went to my van to head home. At the far end of the pay as you park lot, two CENSORED were standing by their trucks. The two were at opposite ends of the CENSORED scale of CENSORED. CENSORED was middle aged, short, fat and in a suit. He drove a CENSORED colored SUV. The other CENSORED was in his early thirties, tall, thin, wearing work boots, jeans and a CENSORED. He was driving a beat up old pickup in faded CENSORED and CENSORED with CENSORED showing through. I put my video camera in the back of my van and drove off. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw the two CENSORED get into their trucks and followed me to Main Street. I pulled into the CENSORED shopping district and the two trucks followed me. I began driving south on CENSORED and the two CENSORED followed me. I know they were CENSORED because two weeks before I had videotaped a lone protester in front of the CENSORED building. CENSORED workers preparing for the destruction of CENSORED were taking jobs away from CENSORED members. The lone protester told me that the CENSORED had made a back room deal with CENSORED to let some CENSORED prepare the properties for transfer to CENSORED at greatly reduced price.
The two CENSORED wouldn't let me talk to their members on camera.
I was nearing the CENSORED Mall when the pickup truck raced past me and pulled in front of my van. At the same time the SUV pulled beside me matching my speed. The pickup driver slammed on his brakes as the SUV driver swerved into my lane. This forced me to violently slam on my brakes as I ran up on the right hand curb.

"This can't be happening!"

I thought as it happened again. When they tried it the third time I was in full road rage.
I decided to play their game and drove my van through the narrow gap between the SUV and Pickup. The SUV ran up on the left hand curb and the Pickup sped up.
I pulled beside the Pickup and made my right hand into the shape of a gun. I pointed my right index finger at the Pickup driver dropping my thumb over and over again like the hammer of a gun. My face was twisted in rage looking in the direction of the coward in the Pickup.
He looked so little as he turned off into the first exit into the mall parking lot.
I turned my attention to the SUV running even beside me. I pointed my mock gun at the fool in the SUV as he tried to ignore me. We stopped side by side at the next red light. I honked my horned my horn and screamed at the fat pudgy man that had tried to tag team wreak my van.
The light turned green and the man turned left peeling out as he ran over the curve.
I laughed as I drove home. My mini-van and a loaded finger beat two CENSORED, a SUV and a Pickup truck.
I know CENSORED didn't call those CENSORED.
She more than likely called the City Hall Security and the two CENSORED were just an accident of timing.
She is running for the U.S. CENSORED now.

I would vote for her if I lived in her district. Not because I think CENSORED would make a good
U.S. CENSORED. U.S. CENSORED would be good for the movie BFB.
A movie I worked so hard on and am getting so little credit for.


The back room deal between the CENSORED and the CENSORED is hear say and may not be true.

I self censored this post to get by the blogger censors.
Blogger has the right to censor anything they see fit.
I want to tell the truth in this blog.
I hope blogger respects free speech.

Urban Explorers

Censored by blogger Jan. 6th. 2008.
Photo of DVD removed by Robert Vollrath.


I had nothing to do with this DVD other than having a son that became a Urban Explorer.
I only went exploring once with my oldest son Mark and his friend Slim Jim. I was standing beside Mark when he shot some video of Slim Jim coming out of a tunnel that appears in the movie.
Slim Jim was a large part of the focus of this movie and the director couldn't have made a better choice. Meeting Slim Jim made me understand the positive side of Urban Exploring in a way my son couldn't. You can't help but like Slim Jim if you meet him and his charisma shines through in the movie.
Mark appears several times in the movie in a chopped up interview but I really don't know how much he contributed behind the scenes. Having a son that is a Urban Explorer can give you a few gray hairs. Mark was Censored under the Censored for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The movie tells this negative side of Urban Exploring in what was known in the Twin Cities as the Landmark Six. I didn't know Mark was Censored until after he was released 48 hours later.
While he was in Censored I began to hear weird clicks on my Censored and began to think I was being paranoid for no reason. When Mark called a day later he told me that the Censored had told him that my Censored was Censored because my Censored was listed on his Censored. The Censored knew Mark wasn't Censored but had to go through the motions. Thank God they gave Mark a heads up because a friend called the next morning who always made bad jokes about Censored. Before he could say anything I told him not to say another word. I meet with him later that day and explained what happened.
Urban Explorers Into The Darkness is a great movie. From a giant NASA rocket from a forgotten space age to the bone filled catacombs of Paris this DVD captures the best of the Urban Explorer subculture.

I have self censored my blog so I could get past the blogger censors.

Blogger has a right to censor me in any way they see fit.
I want to tell the truth in this blog.
I hope blogger supports freedom of speech.
