“In this time, these days, the censors’ desire is to close our eyes, shut our mouths and close our ears, too.

In many countries, the Internet community is fighting to hold on to its freedom of speech inside the Internet, against attempts at censorship or pushes for restrictive legislation by the state, political groups or other kind of organizations.

The Internet as a medium supports all kind of contents. The final objective of these censorship attempts is to try to block or control the content. However, the focus of their actions is the medium.”

I’ve been worried about net censorship for places like China, Japan, UK, and Australia for a while. It hasn’t been too much of a problem for me in America until recently, and now I must say that it’s truly becoming a problem. If America (and the world in general too) doesn’t wake itself up, it will wake up one day with no freedom of speech, no unrestrained internet access, and literally on a 4 foot leash held firmly by governing institutions, with all activity not only limited, but also monitored (already is with most ISPs), and prosecuted for not following typical government-established protocol.

It is not too late, there are some strong opponents of the laws in America, but I feel for the poor Chinese who are kept so in the dark… it is aggravating thinking that a whole peoples, a rising middle class (that in fact will soon be the largest middle class in the history of mankind) cannot express themselves or publish material that is not to the liking of it’s government. It’s not fair, having so few rights other than to work to support yourself and your family. It is disgusting.

But, this is the idol world that is being created. All man lined to a grid, no one able to speak out. The new world order is fast approaching, hell it’s here, we’re just too blind to see it. We take what happens and just accept it, no matter what it is. They bring it with good pretenses and a bold statement that “it’s better this way” or “do you want your kids exposed” or some blatant garbage like that, then force mediocrity down your throat.

If you find truth in those words and want to know what you can do, speak out! Let yourself known by participating in debates such as this. The more minds that come together, whether agreeing or disagreeing, the more we advocate our rights to freedom of speech. If you disagree with me, argue your point. If you agree, add feedback. It’s one of the few ways little guys can fight back. Get the big boys thinking.

I understand the mentality behind doing such an act, restricting what people can and can’t do, it would create a society with little or no crime amongst poor people, but the rich get to do whatever and get away with it. It’s the way the world has, and always will, work, unless the weak band together against the strong who make the rules. Do you think some advocate of elitism cares what you think? No. Hell, he doesn’t care what anyone other than himself and his supporters, and powerful opposition think. So, the only way to get noticed is TO PARTICIPATE, increase the opposition’s numbers.

Please, shout out. Hope to hear from you!

That’s amazing… and insane. Just goes to show that if you LET, not only TELL your kids they can do anything, they could end up making more money than you.

I think part of the babby bommer’s problems in raising kids is they want to give their kids everything; whether they have the money or not, when they need to be encouraging them to stive to do great things; but not only that even, WORK towards it, and help them if they need it.

That seems pretty interesting.

Wow. Flash-based Hard Drives are already on the market? I’m impressed. Now might be a good time to invest in a laptop…

“To ever action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”
- Newton’s 3rd law of physics

Who are you? Do you have your own ideas and beleifs? Are you a hard worker? Do you get paid good for what you do? Is the money you make good enough to surpass what you could otherwise do with the time? Do you have a lot of dependants? Are you open to other’s opinions?

These are questions I feel that help every person to better understand who and what they are. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression. It is what makes mankind advance, with only the most fundamental restrictions.

I have seen what the generation of elitists is trying to do, and have seen where it will go. The Ionian Enchantment, which binds us all, just as much as molecules that make up the universe, follow the laws of physics, the way protrons and electrons orbit the nucleus, and so celestial bodies revolve around the sun, so does mankind spiral… and a spriral is not a continuous motion device. It will peter out eventually.

Such is the state of the world. Intelligence itself is surpressed in America. Backwards education systems, old laws holding sway over new inovations and understanding, everyone lined up to one big grid like lights on a christmas tree. Of course there are those lights that go out, and typically this means little, but occasionally… if one goes out, it can make all the rest go out.

America…

We are wallowing in our own self pity. We are desperately crying out in angst for fulfillment, yet we impose; and allow, nay, accept, so many restrictions that at mere rumor destroy all this counrty was founded on. Freedom of speech zones. Inside terrorist jobs mechanized and executed by top government officials, then pointed elsewhere. 9/11 is not the newest, nor oldest, and deffinately not the only. This tactic was used by all the great advocates of some “New World Order”, from Hitler to the Bush administration, to before, after, and eternally beyond.

Our history is one vast cosmic cycle, and it’s petering out. There is no denying it. The current generation, my generation, is waking up slowly, and we are tired of it. All the lies, secrets… everything. We are intelectuals, because we have a powerful new tool; the internet. And it has been used both ways. But amidst all the angst and depression-driven teenage blogs, there are those within that know inately, something is wrong with the state of this nation, nay, the world.

The Brittish (and others) say that my kind only think of “the world” as “america”. No. There are no lies from me.

As was said in V for Vandetta; Artists use lies to tell the truth; Politicians use laws to cover it up.

I ask you to join with me, and read some of my short stories I will be writing in the next few months. Please, let use take time to consider the state of the world these next few years, as the natural cycle is timed to peter out on December 31 2012.

Thank you…

I leave with Marilyn Manson lyrics…

am i sorry your sky went black, put your knives in babies backs?
am i sorry you killed the kennedy’s and huxley too?
but i’m sorry shakespeare was your scapegoat
and your apples sticking into my throat
sorry your sunday smiles are rusty nails
and your crucifixion commercials failed
but i’m just a pitiful anonymous

and i see all the young believers, your target audience
i see all the old deceivers, we all just sing their song

am i sorry to be alive, putting my face in the beehive?
am i sorry for booth and oswald, pinks and cocaine too?
i’m sorry you never check the bag in my head for a bomb
and my halo was a needle hole, i’m sorry i saw a priest being beaten
and i made a wish, but i’m just a pitiful anonymous

and i see all the young believers, your target audience
i see all the old deceivers, we all just sing their song
we all just sing their song

“the valley of death we are free, your father’s your prison you see”

and i see all the young believers, your target audience
i see all the old deceivers, we all just sing their song

you’re just a copy of an imitation
