Row versus Wade - the great American Controversy ;)
First, they came for the file-sharing websites, because they were infringing on copyright. (I didn’t care, because I didn’t share files).
Then, they came for the illegal offshore pharmacies, because they were facilitating the import of dangerous generic pharmaceuticals that massively undercut the name brand companies. (I didn’t care because I didn’t buy generic drugs)
These first choices may have seemed odd, because there were far worse things out there on the internet to go after. However, since nobody cared too much about the file-sharing sites and the illegal generic pharmacies, they figured it was safe to take things up a notch….
So even worse things were gone after…..
Next, they came for the terrorist websites. And since criticizing the government was itself considered an act of terrorism, it meant the end for everything ranging from WikiLeaks to LewRockell.com (I didn’t mind, because I didn’t follow those websites).
By now, the economic malaise that began in the first decade of the new century was well into its second decade and the culprit for this was clearly known to be financial speculators, short sellers and contrarians. So then they came for the websites that disseminated unofficial economic data. Bye bye ShadowStats, Zerohedge and a whole host of others. (But I didn’t care, because I was still sore from losing all my money in the housing bubble crash)
But “illegal dissent” was still rife on the internet (perhaps even more so, for some reason….)
Because constitutionalists, legal scholars and other dangerous cranks were sowing dissent and challenging the actions of Homeland Security, they came for the websites that facilitated “criminal online assembly”, “unlawful collusion” and “non-sanctioned collaboration”. That was the end of Facebook, Twitter and a host of others. (Not that I minded, I was never much into all those “social” websites…)
Then they needed to do something about websites that provided “tools to access criminal content”.
That’s when they came for Google. (That was ok, I had all the stuff I accessed bookmarked anyway)
Then they came for my neighbor’s website, because they said his blog was pernicious and unauthorized. (He was kind or weird, so it didn’t really bother me).
Finally, they came for me. (And nobody else cared)
Because nothing had stopped them before and they could do whatever they want.

The entire Wikileaks.org site has gone down again and the Wikileaks folks are claiming that the domain was “killed by US everydns.net after claimed mass attacks.”
Remember though. This is ONLY the Domain Name not the actual website and the IP address leading to it.
So saying that, if you need to link or go to Wikileaks use these url’s instead
http://213.251.145.96/ The main home page
http://213.251.145.96/cablegate.html The CableGate Transcripts
http://213.251.145.96/support.html - SUPPORT THEM AND DONATE
also wikileaks.ch is now available ( but will need to be populated through the DNS syste first)
The economist explains why the Wikileaks cablegate scandal is actually a very good thing in preserving American’s (and any contries for that matter) democracy.
About time some mainstraeam news agencies actually got the whole purpose of Wikileaks. [notice: the owner of the g33k hideout has donated on numerous occasions to the funding of Wikileaks, and will do again in the future. you can too]
24 Nov 2010 - Glenn Beck had Luke Tait, the college student who took the infamous video of the TSA agent doing a pat down of the shirtless little boy, on his show this morning to discuss the incident at the airport. During the interview, Beck said that he learned from a ‘refounder’ (Congressional insider) that the little boy didn’t actually set off the metal detectors as the TSA reported, but rather the boy had on a baggy shirt that caught the attention of the TSA and thats why they wanted to do a pat down. Beck said he also learned a detail that hasn’t been reported yet, that the little boy has autism.
Those two details, if true, certainly put this in a different light than the TSA reported. It would also better explain why the agents tried to intimidate Tait into deleting the video, as he describes in the interview.
