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.

The end of the world is near. Our money and hard work in vain if we don’t have a relationship with the one who created us n the Internet. He is coming soon..get to know Him. His name is Jesus….

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.

I am arriving to this picnic late, but I wanted to comment on your thorough analogy of proposed SOPA legislation. To say how bad the government is attempting to handle this is a gross understatement. Yes there is a lot of piracy of content going on globally; but what SOPA proposes is like trying to kill the pesky housefly with the shotgun…..lot of collateral damage…and the tinsy fly may continue abuzzing. Holding ISP’s, payment processors, etc accountable for the dirty deeds of copyright infrigringers is way out of line. I am glad you tossed this subject out there!

The law is not being built in an honest spirit, how about its later use? Somebody think it will be different when the law is applied? Is that the fair treatment the copyright guys claim they want … being applied to you, the voter, by them right now?

Think about that, folks! Before you are milked to death in order to buy crappy raps.

Godaddy decided to join the SOPA writing efforts just to keep themselves out of the target sight.

The legislation excludes the registrars from any wrongdoing with domains, since registrars bribed their way out.

Then Godaddy tried to quietly switch sides, since they suffered a boycott that could bring their business to irrelevance if they stayed loyal to SOPA. They had 37 thousand requests to change domains to namecheap in just a few hours, before unilaterally and illegally stopping name transfers to evaluate what to do. So they switched sides to stop their tragedy.

It seems the Hollywood burn has already began: http://ycombinator.com/rfs9.html

YCombinator is a fundraiser for startups. They want now to focus their efforts to destroy the crooks’ establishment.

I just hope they bring Hollywood crashing down before this beast does away with the little joy still there is in living in this World. Make yourself rich while trying to kill this monster!

Rachel,

I did not consider it right to use copyrighted material just because everybody uses it. I myself don’t do it. But much like you, I know better. Unfortunately, 99.99% of the people don’t know better and they risk losing sometimes the great works of their lives for a so small error. Like a train hitting them in the park where there were never trains before. People are not highly intelligent and trained, they just want to live their little lives in peace.

If you work with IM, I’m sure you write a lot, and on doing this your articles are sprinkled with copyrighted phrases you think are from the top of your head, but really aren’t. Take as an example the copyright over “timeline” that Facebook is struggling with right now. Given the new legislation, Facebook would have been gone already for good.

You know, in another comment here you question why there’s SOPA if m3g4upl0ad can be taken offline with the same methods described by SOPA already.

The problem is that much like the prisons in American Soil, the current laws demand fair and well done legal procedures before juridical action. SOPA, much like Guantanamo, wipes out this necessity under the carpet and automates the process.

SOPA, was created as a tool from an oligarchy to take control of what they want to control by causing all people doing a certain kind of work to be automatically blamed. By the examples I’ve given to you, there’s not much you can escape since you are in the web, and worse, the justification can be EXTREMELY easily fabricated against you.

It is like everyone is blamed from start, so the big guys just have to do the picks. They can pick on anybody they don’t like, preventing the rise of anybody that could menace their business in the future. It is like spreading agent orange over all people’s freedom trees.

Despite the appearances I’m not American and I’ve truly no country since I lived in several from my childhood onwards. Some of the countries I lived were ruled by oligarchies and filled with this kind of law. Either you were friend with the bosses and they got you out of the mess when you needed or you were screwed for life. You can easily imagine that my family took the first path. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

I know many of the things I say seem outlandish, so don’t let your country to transform into a crazy land were everybody’s a criminal. Do it for your children and your own peace of mind. The day SOPA passes, you can consider yourself living in a country not better than Brazil, so you better cover your tail or run for your life. The big guys don’t think twice before calling the sicarians in if they need.

Rach 🙂

Exactly my point Fay – yes it is too easy to infringe on copyright… which is why I began to wonder what our options were as a society.

You either go the way of SOPA/PIPA and punish everyone (not cool) or the other alternative is that as a society the paradigm of the copyright shifts (also not cool). When you look at how it is being infringed at every level, many people do not even know that they ARE infringing copyright. So this shift in society’s thinking is already happening.

The internet has had such a major effect on communication and our lives that the rules that we set yesterday and today may not be tenable.

Rach 🙂

Thanks Tiago

I get the SOPA/PIPA flaws and the costing discrepancies. But In your original comment you intimated that it was somehow OK for people to copy and paste at will, just as some people think that it is OK to upload a copyright file to oh I don’t know, let’s say Megaupload and give it away to the world.

Just because everyone is doing it, doesn’t make it right.

🙂

Was SOFA even implemented? IT is in action right now? Google and Facebook are against this right? I’ve read that Go Daddy is pro to SOPA. I’ve seen a lot of posts from different articles about this and they object on this matter. I don’t why Go daddy decided to join this cause.
