Many people have been enlightened to their agenda thanks to the internet ( even me to some extent. I never knew that the Federal Reserve was not a government bank, but a bank privately owned and run by the so called elite, until I started researching the internet on this ), and thanks to that, they now know they are not going to be able to impliment their new world order as easily as they had hoped. Hopefully not at all.

All we need now is something like SOPA to take away the free exchange of information. Had this bill been passed, punishing people who are infringing on copyrights would not have been the only thing SOPA would have done on the internet. Not by a long shot. I read quite a bit of this SOPA, and a lot of it was very vague and very scary.

Thanks for sharing this info!

I have a question for you, if you don’t mind…
I hope to have to file self employment taxes this coming year, and I always wondered about how you pay social security taxes/self-employment taxes. If your revenue is from ads and affiliate programs, is the ssn tax and self employment tax still owed? I assume it is, but I’ve never seen it mentioned by any online marketer.

My question is – does this work in the UK? Or is it set up for US only?

I think I’m capable of my own little arsenel of anti-infringment acts. I myself, yes, little old me have had US websites (personal / individual nes) taken down for copyright infringing my work. A nasty letter certified showing proof of the original article and the “spammer content” to the host provider and VOILA they will take down Mr. Chan’s website since he made the mistake of stealing my blog content and not crediting me for it after ten requests to do so. Thank goodness for timestamps and the internet, it does protect your work!

I think the offender should be prosecuted not the entire world. For what if Mr. Chan’s website was on Blogger and one rotten seed like him spoiled it for all of Blogger? Where would we be? Up the creek.

DOWN WITH SOPA

Still, this bill is just ridiculously overreaching and I still must oppose it

UK D-Notices to Go Worldwide

By Kurt Nimmo

Google and the British government are working together to sweep websites into Orwell’s memory hole. It is a joint effort that will soon go worldwide as the global elite continue to build and refine their censorship apparatus.

Google told The Telegraph today that national security is “the single biggest category” among the reasons cited for scrubbing pages from Google search results. Google’s Daphne Keller flew to the UK to testify before the the Leveson Inquiry and said her company had cooperated with the British government in 82 per cent of cases. PM David Cameron established the inquiry in the wake of the News International telephone hacking scandal last year.

The collaboration between Google and the British government is reminiscent of practices established under the so-called D Notice system, a modernized version of the Official Secrets Act used to censor political speech. Newspaper and periodical editors now routinely check with the government’s D Notice Committee before publishing information, a process that operates as de facto self-censorship.

The D Notice system was used in the Dr. Kelly case. Kelly was suicided after he accused the British government of planting in a dossier a questionable claim that WMDs could be released from Iraq within 45 minutes.

Earlier in the week, a former Soros Open Society minion and Stanford University scholar called on Google to act as a thought crime enforcer by providing warnings about websites that contain “conspiracy theories” such as the belief, held by a majority of Americans, that global warming is not primarily man-made.

As Paul Joseph Watson noted on Tuesday, the call by Evgeny Morozov to render the internet politically correct according to the dictates of the global elite and their bureaucrats is similar to an argument made by Obama’s science czar, Cass Sunstein, to force websites to carry warnings if they post content deemed inappropriate by the government.

In keeping with its mission to surveil and track and trace its users – allegedly for commercial purposes – Google has announced that it will follow the activities of users across nearly all of its ubiquitous sites, including YouTube, Gmail and its leading search engine, according to the Washington Post. Consumers won’t be able to opt out of the changes, which take effect March 1.

Popular social networking site Facebook also tracks and traces users and keeps the data. In September, hacker and writer Nik Cubrilovic posted information on his blog revealing that Facebook keeps track of every website users visit, even when they are logged out of the site.

The latest Google revelations arrive as the Department of Homeland Security presents a white paper on its “evolving mission” to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“Crafted by the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group, co-chaired by former DHS chief Michael Chertoff and composed of a who’s who of national security figures, the report outlines a total mission creep, as the title ‘Homeland Security and Intelligence: Next Steps in Evolving the Mission’ implies,” writes Aaron Dykes for Infowars.com.

The paper proposes a transition from focusing on traditional terrorism to intelligence gathering and surveillance of supposed domestic threats. “Achieving this new aim includes co-opting local law enforcement and other regional agencies,” Dykes notes.

Obama’s DHS wants to build “a new analytic foundation that emphasizes data” and related systems that will integrate all aspects of law enforcement, including those on the local level. The DHS proposal, in other words, continues and accelerates the federalization of state and local law enforcement, a process that picked up steam during the Clinton administration in the 1990s.

The modern Stasi surveillance state and a government mandated and corporately enforced Ministry of Truth naturally go hand-in-hand as the globalists move to complete their totalitarian overlay designed to control humanity.

Increasingly, it can be argued that the internet and an array of ubiquitous technological devices were specifically designed and manufactured to facilitate the control mandates of the surveillance state.

Google’s high-tech D-notice technology – delisting and outright censoring websites deemed offensive by our rulers – is a less obtrusive version of the Great Firewall of China, a sprawling network of filters designed to craft information to the overriding prerogatives of an authoritarian and totalitarian state.

For my direct sales business (offline) I always used Quicken. My entire life was tracked that way. I started getting frustrated with it as I had to upgrade and keep converting my files. (I have several that I’d like to access but the old software doesn’t work on the new Windows systems so I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my business data even though I still have the files.

I’m gonna give this software a shot. It looks like it can do most of the stuff I’d been using Quicken for. And with it being online maybe I won’t lose stuff in the upgrade translations!

Thanks for the info!!

This was a very timely topic. I’ve just now really started to focus on building my online business. It seems very few really want to talk about this subject because of ‘liability’ concerns. Starting out, however, it is helpful to find what established marketers are using as tools of the trade. I have signed up for Outright already and can see how beneficial it will be. Thanks for sharing.

Plus you added some pretty cool resources to make the job a little less stressful.

Would your accountant, Jennifer, like to give her comment in this thread, I wonder? Her disclaimer would have to be, of course, that she only knows about US law and that she would, in any case, only be giving her personal opinion!

Depreciation usually only applies to things which can be potentially resold at some point if you had to wind up the business, like computers and certain other things like office equipment, saleable stock, vehicles and so on. You usually agree with your accountant (and, ultimately, your tax authority) what may be depreciated and at what rate … a common standard is 20% per annum, meaning that your computer, your office furniture and so on are ‘written off’ (= have no value) after 5 years.

Ebooks and courses might come under the heading of “Training” (we all have to pay for training to make us better at what we do!); plugins and templates are “Software” which help us to increase productivity.

PLR articles are, on the whole, resalable, but are not like physical ‘stock’ (which, once sold, has to be replaced). It’s difficult to know where they might fit into a traditional accounting system but, since they really have very little value once they are published once, they are probably a one-off purchase which, like expendables, should be written off immediately. If you do sell them (multiple times), of course, then that is extra profit.

HTH!

You would usually include ‘Depreciation’ as an ‘expense’ in your yearly returns or annual balance sheet and it would be a separate item from ‘Supplies’.
