Internet Kill Switch Rap

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Awesome.

“But the truth leaks like oil into the Gulf of Mexico.”

Internet “Kill Switch” on the way…

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

The Huffington Post is doing a good job of keeping on top of the Kill Switch. The kill switch concept was originally part of the Bush2-era Project for a New American Century where they called for increased control over space and cyberspace. Which is essentially increased control over the flow of information and populations.

A cyber kill switch would be a prerequisite for any kind of martial law declaration.

We cannot have homeland security unless we understand the whole planet… is our homeland. — John Perkins

John Perkins, reformed Economic Hitman, just posted this animation from Studio Joho to his Twitter feed. It’s brilliant.

Why dread the Fed? Audit it!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Chris just implored his corner of Twitterspace to post more blog entries, so here goes.

You know that ponderous-seeming institution that overshadows everyday American life? The one that controls the currency supply by printing as much of the stuff as it possibly can? The one that grows the economy by encouraging the U.S. populace to dig itself into a Mariana Trench of debt? You know.. the Fed. The dreaded Fed.

Well, although Ron Paul’s attempt to audit the Fed was recently derailed by Chris Dodd and his cadre, Senator David Vitter has brought the bill back.

And it appears there will be a vote tomorrow. Dr. Paul is encouraging those who want to see the Fed brought back under some semblance of control to contact their senators with the following three points:

  1. Support a standalone vote on S. 604 (the original Audit the Fed bill)
  2. Oppose the overall Dodd bill
  3. Support the Vitter amendment when the vote comes

In other words: Tell your senator that you would like the Federal government and the Federal Reserve to reveal where our money has been going, what’s been done with it, and how exactly we have managed to arrive at this particular economic precipice.

I guarantee the revelations will be more powerful than a Michael Bay summer blockbuster.

BrokeP on sinking in the Pirate Bay

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Normally I don’t read technical interviews, but the Register’s interview with BrokeP is fascinating. Kelly Fiveash asks great questions and doesn’t pull any punches.

Apparently TPB has “become this HAL entity that kinda runs itself”.

Maybe it can explain to the record labels about how they’re completely doomed.

Peter Schiff offers to pay Alan Greenspan for the opportunity to debate

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Wow.

Not that this will happen of course. I find it odd that Peter doesn’t seem to think that Greenspan and ABC have the same marching orders.

Mike Prysner on the War in Iraq

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

I hadn’t seen this before. From his amazing speech:

Our real enemies are not those living in a distant land whose names or policies we don’t understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it’s profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it’s profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it’s profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it’s profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us.

See the video here.
