Openness, transparency — these are among the few weapons the citizenry has to protect itself from the powerful and the corrupt. What if within days of August 4th, 1964 — after the Pentagon had made up the lie that our ship was attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin — there had been a WikiLeaks to tell the American people that the whole thing was made up? I guess 58,000 of our soldiers (and 2 million Vietnamese) might be alive today.

Instead, secrets killed them.

Well put. These DDOS’s on MasterCard are the work of bored teenagers. For every 4′channer with a DDOS script there are a dozen real, competent security professionals who have a really good understanding of how the internet works, because guess what, we are the ones who built it and keep it running. I’m not about to risk my job or prison to jump on the internet hate machine bandwagon over something like this. But come the day when the people in power try to take the internet away from us and pervert the original intent of free information exchange people like me are going to come out of the wood work. We are going to take off our white hats and put on black ones. And yes, there will be hell to pay. – Dax420

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has starting seizing domain names directly from fucking ICANN!!! WTF ICANN!? Who decided to leave DNS root servers in the states anyway FFS? I knew that was a bad idea and it was only a matter of time before those corrupt mother fuckers did something doge.

So far they’ve rerouted the DNS entries for about 70 domains which include sites linking to intellectual property (read: torrents/p2p) and counterfeit products sites. But keep in mind this is without any warnings to the site operators, no DCMA or takedown requests. The DCMA was put in place to provide a means to request the site owners to take down the infringing stuff before you take their shit. The US Govt skipped straight to taking their shit. And the US Govt can do this to any domain in the world. Fuck off you bastards!

The DHS must be involved just to spread fear, looks like they are catering their rich business lobbyists who are unable/unwilling to evolve to the current media distribution formats. ZOMG people taking pirated software on planes are putting your kids at danger!

So the MAFIAA wanna hax our internets by crying to the US Govt instead of being innovative. It looks like they have bought the politicians who allowed this shit to happen. The were already trying to get this through with the secret ACTA treaty and the COICA bill. This legislation protects no one but the copyright holders in MAFIAA who have the law makers in their pockets.

Time to get off the root servers. Your ISP will be getting its updates from the root servers. But the websites who had their domain names seized will still be online, but only accessible via the IP (provided they haven’t any virtual hosts). So I would recommend you change your DNS settings to get your DNS from some open dns servers. These ones are unhackable by the govt so you can access stuff they blacklist (unless they break into datacenters and steal some servers – which I wouldn’t put past them).

Of course you could say, well I don’t run a counterfeit/pirate site so it doesn’t matter to me. Well this is where it starts people. Like the No fly blacklist in the states (seriously wtf is wrong with these dickbags), there’s going to be false positives and they probably won’t take you off the blacklist. And of course there’s the “first they came for the christians but I was not a christian so I said nothing” et al thing.

Looks like the UK want to do this as well:

This could be the end of the internet as we know it folks. I remember a very wise uni lecturer telling us that we are very lucky to live in the age of the unrestricted internet for governments are surely scared of it, businesses can be threatened by it, so they would naturally move to shut it down.

So blog about this. Tell your friends. Spread the word.

ICANN is now a fascist organization.

KGO!!

The time to act to protect the public from hard drugs is now. People talk about cannabis being the gateway drug, when really, it is the current Misuse of Drugs Act that is gateway LEGISLATION.

Because cannabis is driven underground with all the other hard drugs, this means that the only way for people to get hold of cannabis is to go to drug dealers, who most probably want a customer for their more expensive, and more addictive drugs.

With 51% of the population having tried cannabis and up to 15% of the population actively using cannabis that makes for a lot of people to potentially have exposure to hard drugs. It also shows that despite the illegality of cannabis, people are willing to smoke it.

We need to take control of cannabis out of the hands of drug dealers and gangs. These unregulated distributors sometimes adulterate or lace their cannabis with harder drugs, or harmful substances such as lead particles (to make it weigh more) or microscopic glass beads (to make it look more potent).

This makes the drug a significantly more hazardous to the health of the people that choose to smoke it (regardless of the legality), because the government doesn’t provide a means of safe access.

Cannabis has been scientifically and anecdotally proven to be beneficial for over 300 ailments and diseases. Making cannabis a class D drug would open up the doors for research on it, allowing scientists to extract the chemical cannabinoids and make newer, safer, and natural drugs.

It is a little known fact that in the human body there are four types of cannabinoid receptors (that have been found so far). Cannabinoids are produced in three ways. Naturally by the human brain (endo-cannabinoids), naturally by the cannabis plant (phyto-cannabinoids) and artificially in labs.

I would also like to compare the situations between the Netherlands and the United States. The United States Government is vehemently opposed to drug tolerance, treat drugs as a criminal issue and as a result have very high drug use rates. The Netherlands on the hand, regulate the use of soft drugs, and treat drugs in general as a social health issue – I.E. providing easy access to education and rehab for those that want it. The Netherlands drug use rates are half that of the United States. These figures can be found within 5 mins on google.

Do I need to mention what happened when the United States prohibited Alcohol?

To put cannabis into the class D category is to take a step in the right direction. It is to take a step into governmental control of drugs, instead of governmental restriction. This is what is needed to protect our citizens from hard drugs.

I don’t understand why he got a peace prize? For taking troops out of Iraq and putting them into Afghanistan? That doesn’t really equal peace does it? Especially because doing this is completely self serving for OPEC and other corrupt organisations.

You see, now that they have stopped Saddam drilling his own oil to use for his own country (like he watched the UAE do), they need to secure Afghanistan to allow a oil and gas pipeline to run through the country.

To run a pipeline through the country they need to get rid of the Taliban because they’re not really down with a pipeline. That is one of the supporting factors of 9/11 being a false flag operation. Talks with the Taliban about putting a pipeline through were breaking down before 9/11. A war on terror (and the Taliban) was a perfect excuse to take out those standing in the way of the pipeline. Not to mention the fact that the Taliban had destroyed all the poppy fields slowing the supply of heroin into America, and thus slowing the need for drug war spending (this is bad, the law enforcement agencies would lose their jobs with no drugs/users to confiscate/apprehend).

So back to the point of the of the story… it would seem Obama is sending US troops back into Afghanistan to make sure the Taliban are kept down. This in turn allows for a stable country for a pipeline to carry oil and gas from the resource rich countries north of Afghanistan, down to the sea for American ships to take as they please.

The problem here is that the country is not stable. Even if the Taliban are kept down, the country is in pretty bad shape since America invaded. Infrastructure and housing are needed and all promised aid has not arrived. This makes for desperate people living in poverty, and they are going to grow up angry at America because they dropped bombs on their houses and didn’t repair them.

Which is completely understandable right? If America invaded my country I would be fighting back. Some would label that being a terrorist, but I would label that being terrorized. America are the real terrorists in this world.

So basically it all comes back to greedy oil companies taking valuable resources from smaller countries that can’t protect themselves, with the help of the American Government/Army (aka Terrorists/Bullies), under the veil of The War On Terror. With utter disregard for the deaths of soldiers and civilians – they just want their money.

You got that? The only terrorist threat comes from America… everyone else is just a desperate patriot trying to fight back against the military industrial complex that has targeted their country and is stealing their resources.

Patriots exist in places other than the USA you know…

I’m the guy with “911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB” written across the back of his van, and to be honest, I have had more nods of agreement/thumbs up etc, than I’ve had people look at me and shake their heads or whatever. But more often than not people do nothing.

I don’t actually believe anything definite anymore. I can only guess because I don’t actually know and I am on the other side of the world. Sure I watched Loose Change and agreed with some things but the problem is people go nuts at conspiracy theorists because they have a big conspiracy theory story of how it all played out when there is no way anyone can actually know what happened (especially The 9/11 Commission with their limited funding, limited access and lack of subpoena power).

What I do believe is that there are lots of fishy things surrounding the events of 911. But I’m no longer going to try to make up a story. I’m just going to look at all the things that don’t add up and go “Hmmm, thats a bit fishy. Someone should look into this,” and inform people about the things that don’t add up.

So, here is a couple of things that ARE fishy about 911, sans-conspiracy theories.

1. Where did the molten metal underneath the Towers come from?
2. Why did the 911 Commission only get $12m for the investigation (compared to $65m for Clintons blowjob investigation)
3. Why didn’t the 911 Commission have subpoena power?
4. Why were there reports of explosions coming from beneath the towers, after the planes hit?
5. Why have no other skyscrapers in the history of mankind collapsed from fire?
6. Why do they say jet fuel burns really hot and melted the steel when we saw a crapload of jetfuel explode OUTSIDE the buildings?
7. If the floors in the WTC “pancaked” on top of each other like they said, causing the collapse, how come the center column isn’t still standing?
8. What are the chances of three skyscrapers of two different construction types (WTC1+2 & WTC7), all collapsing from fires on the same day?
9. If there was no jetfuel in WTC7, and burning jetfuel is what actually bought the twin towers down, what made WTC7 collapse?
10. Why is there no wreckage from United 93 in the field in Pensylvania?
11. Why was the video footage of the pentagon crash confiscated when video footage of the twin towers was allowed?

Thats all I have for now. I think there are enough questions out there however to warrant a new investigation into the events to answer the questions that the public wants to know. Who disagrees?

I’m sure you’ve read about Auckland becoming a Super city and the Maori party of NZ wanted some Maori only seats on the Supercity council. Well John Key has told them to get fucked.

And with good reason! Why should Maori get their own seats!? Are they any better than me or the asian guy looking in your window right now? Its just absolute bullshit again the Maori party is trying to segregate the Maori race from other races.

And still they complain about not getting the same treatment and the white man has stolen all their land blah blah fucking blah blah. They are making sure that they are seen as different.

Pita Sharples whinges about Maori needing representation on the council because 1 in 4 Maori live in Auckland. Big fucking deal, I bet you $10 the other 3 people are white, asian and indian. Are we going to have separate seats for all the races!?

Fuck them. They’re people no different from anyone else. Treating them like they are better than everyone else awarding them land and money and shit for their ancestors dumbass decisions has given the Maoris in the Maori party a status complex. Now they think they should be awarded other shit as well. FUCK THEM!

Do you want seats in the park for Maori’s only? Libraries for Maori’s only? That just isn’t fair, and is just plain racist. This getting just like the South African/American Racial Segregation, except this time its the blacks who think they are better than the whites.

This is finally a step in the right direction, if only we could chuck out the Maori seats in parliament. All the seats are the same fucking colour I HAVE BEEN THERE!!

Not only have the richest companies in the country:

1. deprived you of health care
2. ripped health insurance out from under your feet when you needed it most
3. put you into huge medical debt or
4. forced the death of a loved one due to being unable to pay

But now they have convinced you that to regulating them to stop them doing all that would be a bad thing!

The IDIOCRACY continues!!! The Investors Business Daily attacked britains excellent socialised healthcare system – something like what Obama is trying to put in place (I assume) – saying that if Stephen Hawking was british he would be dead.

Epic fail you dumb fucks, he is british and he is still alive and even told The Guardian that the health system is the only reason that he is STILL ALIVE!

And still stupidity rears it ugly head. Enter Rush Limbaugh. Yeah you can tell this is going to be fun, I feel more stupid already. Rush Limbaugh decides to compare Obama’s health care logo to a swastika…

Uhhh, Mr Limbaugh, I don’t know if you have vision in both your eyes but do you not notice that President Obama is FUCKING BLACK!? Why would he make his health logo like a Swastika!

The stupidity is almost unbearable!!! Somebody take these motherfuckers out with automatic weapons please my brain is hurting!

And as for the OMG!!!1one SOCIALISM!!! MY GRANDMA WILL DIE IF WE HAZ SOCIALIZM!!-fucking socialism FUD… have you ever been to a library and got a book out (probably not)? Did it cost you anything? That’s socialism.

Go back to sleep America… your corporate owners have taken the reigns of the country once again.
