Idea - New Anti-terror legislation

Another word for Bush Is.... | 22.07.2005 12:32 | Anti-militarism | Terror War

I have an idea but I would like to run it past people, especially those of a legal persuasion

Basically in light of new 'anti-terror' legislation that is being rushed through by Charles Clarke I had an idea:
In a nutshell one of the proposals of the legislation dictates that it will prevent the encouragement and support of terrorist acts. My idea was thus to create a series of websites that glorified the massacre at Falluja, the killing of 100,000+ civilians and the use of Napalm by US/UK forces and various other acts of 'terrorism' that have been proved to have been carried out by the US / UK goverments.
Not a pleasant idea so far I hear you cry, well I would tend to agree, but what I was hoping to achieve is as follows:
By glorifying these acts by our own goverment and a great deal of publicity (this may be a problem, but the ideal would be to have the story picked up by one of the mainstream media outlets) you then force the government into a situation where either they have to operate a blatant double standard and situation where the law is only enforced against the approved terrorist model (i.e muslims) or they have to prosecute me for running the sites and thus admit to the fact that the atrocities glorified are indeed acts of terrorism of which they are guilty.
So what am I asking:
While it sounds good on paper, how realistic would this be from a legal standpoint i.e to prosecute me would that then be an admissable admission of guilt

How easy is it to get things like this picked up by the mainstream press - has anyone had dealings with the press on trying to get a story picked up by them.

Any other thoughts that might refine the idea and make it workable - an organised campaign to get people to complain about the content of the sites to their MPs / newspapers etc that would build public support against the sites etc and thus force the government to take action against the sites.

All feedback appreciated

I also think army recruitment centres are a great idea for getting at the young and sending them for basic training on how to kill civilians in military interventions, 'peace keeping' and occupations. I think these training camps provide a sound basis for brain washing our stupid young people into acting as pawns for our mastermind leaders such as Tong Blair to organiser acts of state violence for our way of life..

Unfortunately the corporate media will see you coming a mile off and deny you any publicity. Also the government will see you coming a mile off and refuse to prosecute you for highlighting their own crimes.

Move UK Indymedia servers to USA to prevent seizure of computers

How about hosting the UK Indymedia servers over here in the USA? That way the UK authorities can't sieze the indymedia servers, like when they seized the Bristol UK server.

Good point. I must admit I have chuckled at the irony of this on more than one occasion, you guys are being hit harder than us in the uk what with election rigging, renewed patriot acts and departments of homeland security etc......yet it it's still one of the best places to host a server....its a twisted world in which we live

but why not cut the complexity of creating websites etc and simply report the media, government, bush, whoever for glorifying the whole damn invasion?
and make sure you do all your planning and reporting with good video coverage by someone who knows what they are doing to make a report, and whatever happens you can make a little movie that may or may not get distribution of various kinds...?
be good to be in touch with the 'legal action against war' people about thi....
good luck! go for it....
