Economic War Is Not About Keeping You Safe On The Internet
Special thanks to EO for alerting me to this article Australia to implement mandatory internet censorship which appeared 10/29/2008 in the Australian Herald Sun.
AUSTRALIA will join China in implementing mandatory censoring of the internet under plans put forward by the Federal Government.It goes on to say:The revelations emerge as US tech giants Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, and a coalition of human rights and other groups unveiled a code of conduct aimed at safeguarding online freedom of speech and privacy.
The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter.
The plan was first created as a way to combat child pornography and adult content, but could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia.Time to ask: Who actually controls these leading companies?Communications minister Stephen Conroy revealed the mandatory censorship to the Senate estimates committee as the Global Network Initiative, bringing together leading companies, human rights organisations, academics and investors, committed the technology firms to "protect the freedom of expression and privacy rights of their users".
Time to ask: Who finances these "human rights" organizations?
Time to ask: Who really writes the paycheck for these "academics?"
Time to ask: Are these "you and I" investors, or the financial predator investors?This censorship is NOT about keeping everyone safe; just the financial sociopaths who wish total rule over the earth.
In other words, the same type of folks that have always wanted to "own the earth in fee simple.These three links drill down into who controls the tech giants listed above: Google - Microsoft - Yahoo
(Don't hesitate to drill further into links of major holders. You'll see many of the same names.)These two links show that many of the same names also control Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase.
Such an amazing coincidence. What an incestuous group of folks.
And you think we've got economic troubles today? This is only the beginning.Here's what other folks have to say:
The Global Network Initiative - CircleID
Principles For A Better Web - Reuters
Some question tech firms' human rights project - ComputerWorld
Corporations Agree to Standards for Internet Freedom - Global Voices.Remember how the "Patriot Act" was NOT patriotic?
The same technique applies to the words "Internet Freedom".
Pure - Orwellian - Newspeak.
Enough already.Today, we must say, "NO MORE!"
The Dragon Wins NO MORE!
Let's accept our failures now. Congress proved themselves not worthy of our trust.
Pass the American Monetary Act to prevent giving away TITLE to your homeland.
