What We Do At This Organization!


By Maurice Ali, President and CEO: FOF Inc./IAIJ Inc.


Fortress Of Freedom Inc. is a corporation that exists to enable ordinary people access to the mass media. That - in a nut shell - is what is going on right now. It is an experiment in securing the public's right to express themselves on the public airwaves. We believe this ability to express oneself in the mass media is necessary for the broadcast of divergent opinions, cultures, religions, artistic freedoms, journalistic freedoms, etc. - This is ultimately impacted on an individual's ability to think among diversity of ideas and ultimately self-determination in our world where the mass media smothers a person's senses.


The Fortress Of Freedom Group of companies comprises a conglomerate of companies consisting of two nationally registered corporations in Canada and two provincially registered companies in the province of Ontario, Canada. The two corporations are capable of operating internationally and conducting meetings and business electronically. Documents and certification can be viewed as follows:

Fortress Of Freedom Inc.
International Archiving Of Independent Journalist Inc.
Fortress Of Freedom.com
IAIJ


These companies exist to provide freedom of speech and access of the ordinary person to the mass media:

International Archiving Of Independent Journalists Inc.; is a corporation which archives, verifies and validates journalists internationally providing third party proof of a member's status as a journalist and all international protections available therein.

Fortress Of Freedom Inc. is a corporation devoted to promoting freedom of speech by allowing the average individual to participate in the mass media.




Milestones In The Fortress Of Freedom Group Of Companies:


1. Our first press card become a reality in late December, 2003 and marked the first major accomplishment by our organization. Here was a press card with URL support that could verify and validate journalist credentials from a cell phone to the most obsolete computer in the most backward parts of the world. This was accomplished by having what we billed as the world's most accessible web site with the fastest page presentations possible. A true accomplishment!


2. Our newspaper called The Fortress became a reality in early April, 2004. It is truly free with no advertising (apart from ourselves) to compromise opinion. This will be a permanent fixture in our organization.


3. We aired our first radio advertisement on Toronto FM station CKLN in early June, 2004. The ad played for over one month during the controversial "rude awakening" show on Wednesday mornings. Our first on-air broadcast!


4. Fortress Of Freedom Inc. became a recognized publishing company in August, 2004 and our first book Protest The Fall Of Civil Disobedience was published in early September!


5. The Fortress Of Freedom Corporation is pleased to announce the release of Dave Getchell's first album: A Slant On Life And Living, By Dave Getchell, Canadian Visionary. Thirty years in the making, this album comprises Dave singing, guitar playing, and talented song writing of life and Canadian events over the last thirty years. This also marks the first album to be released and produced wholly in the Fortress Of Freedom studios, this one is all ours!

6. Electronic News Gathering or ENG became a reality for our organization in late September, 2004 and promises to become one of the most important elements at Fortress Of Freedom!


7. The Fortress TV Show - Was broadcast over the air and cable to a population of over 15 million people throughout Ontario and the upper New York State as well as upper Michigan. The broadcast took place on September 18, 2005 at 2:30AM following Saturday Night Live.



All of the above is what we are. Simply put; access to the mass media by ordinary individuals is the best and simplest way to keep free speech and thought alive in the technological world of the future with the all encompassing influence of the mass media. As an organization, we show by demonstration, that ordinary individuals can access the mass media and express themselves to the world! Our projects show the mistakes and amateurism of our members as they access the mass media, this is deliberate; and we show that even with these mistakes.....they do make it on the mass media - Simple and effective:


We Bring The Mass Media To The Masses!
