I'm still interrupting the When Adult Ordinances Infringe series for now. It's time we all figured out what is really going on in the City Beautiful of Orlando, including Disney World area resorts, International Drive/Sea World area resorts, and Universal area resorts. In this situation I'm going to go ahead and lump all of these areas into the term "resort areas," sort of the way I did in my book, Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando.
Some readers stated to me that the title is weird, but actually it is right on target. The book was never all about the relentless pursuit that resulted in my arrest and trial, but then you'd have to be a thorough reader to get that. I do tend to write between the lines at times – well no more hidden meanings and messages – they have made it so that I have little-to-nothing to lose, and I no longer care how they respond and will be responding reciprocally if necessary. I'm really a plain, straight-to the point type, so why change now or for their sake? I decided that if I'm going then the line-block conspirators are going with me, so by the time we're done here, you'll know who they are. What the hell – I'll turn it into quite the scandal in theme park land.
No one that's read my book seemed to get the idea concerning the telephone line blocks or the subsequent website blocks, and it's not going to be easy to explain the wireless services blocks in the resort areas that goes on today in a non-technical and direct mode, but I'll be giving it my best shot. It is all quite technical though. The first idea that I need to be clear about is that each method of blocking is violating various federal laws, including the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This is what I'd like to address today, just so that we are all on the same page.
What is the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So how does this relate to the line-blocking issues? Well, see that short part about "abridging the freedom of speech"? It has been picked apart by attorneys and judges from one end of the country to the other for a couple of centuries now; the picking began with issues concerning religious freedom though. The part that refers to the press is easily related to this blog – so the powers that be in Orlando resort areas had best mind their manners and back away here or we will be meeting in a court of law.
I truly only finished college with the intention of going to law school, but at some point I decided that graduate studies in history might serve as a vehicle to get me away from all of this crap instead of raising my blood pressure on a daily basis. Well, it didn't work out with the false criminal record that was handed to me later. We all know that the State of Florida does conduct background checks on teacher or professor applicants, and what else would I intend to do with a master's degree in a specific area of history? I also know the Florida Bar for exactly what it is – dissent only goes so far in this state and they would have had my license suspended in short time. I personally know numerous attorneys that could attest to this as factual, except that they all want to practice law again one day; nevertheless, I'm all too aware of law these days and have evolved from the Vicky Gallas that was acquitted by a jury of her peers back in 2003. That Vicky had stamina, but not necessarily the appropriate writing abilities or the required knowledge of law. Since it's unlikely that I'll ever apply at McDonalds, here I am: the new and improved me.
I will assume that you can connect the First Amendment issues with the telephone-line, website, and wireless access issues. Just in case you don't get it yet, my next chosen topics are pertinent sections of the Communications Act and its changes over the years in connection with blocking and jamming. Once I'm satisfied that the dots are all connected for you, I'll move on to the acts of the conspirators. You could be thinking, gee Vicky, I'm not so sure that turning this into blog fodder is a great idea, but not to worry - I'm used to backlash more than most.
Mentioning threats of backlash, here's a quote that was directed at me in late 2007 in a Topix forum. The poster went by Been Around and was posting from Las Vegas at the time:
After we dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese thought back to Pearl Harbor and realized they should never have picked a fight with a sleeping giant. If you’re going to take cheap shots at MBI, then don’t cry if they fight back. All is fair in love and war.
Only one of the conspirators or agents of the MBI would consider their group to be "sleeping giants," and indeed, the statement of "All is fair in love and war" sent chills up my spine. But I'm ready to play now guys. We all have our limits, and you have stepped beyond mine.
Next: The Communications Act, telephone lines, and blocking and jamming of wireless transmissions
