U.S. Proposes Centralized Internet Surveillance
Mr.Intel writes "The Times is reporting that President Bush is 'planning to propose requiring Internet service providers to help build a centralized system to enable broad monitoring of the Internet and, potentially, surveillance of its users.' The recommendation is part of a report entitled 'The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace'. It is due to be published early next year."
Will you still be saying that when America is once again awash with blood from another terrorist attack? Innocent American lives are worth more than your "freedom" to download kiddiepr0n without the feds knowing about it. People like you make me sick, with your twisted selfish priorities.
That's a joke, right?
Disarmed citizens are peasants.
At least we still have the means to remove our government should it prove necessary.
Of course, I don't expect that to ever happen, no matter how bad it gets. Nobody cares. Monday night football is still on. Friends is still on. Stores still have cold beer. Why should anyone even call or write their congress critters, let alone overthrow a corrupt government.
Where the cabbies have to pay royalties to listen to the radio. And the Gov't let the corporations get away with that.
Or how about the UK, where London is still the one of the most violent cities in the world, but has no guns.
Or you can go to France, where the government pretty much does what it pleases... and doesn't tell them about it.
Honestly, if this crap keeps up, we'll be just like Europe. Bush is just doing to US citizens what the rest of Europe has been doing to its citizens for years. Why are you surprised?
Now go vote, MMMMkay?
Other than Canada, where can a typical (only english speaking) US citzen move to and work with minimal ammounts of hassle, paperwork, etc.??
I jokingly said if GW won the first time I'd leave. If he wins another one (or gets installed in office like he did this time) I'm actualy going to do it.
Sadly, he'll hold off on his bullshit "war" with Iraq until his strategists say it'll peek his popularity right at election time....

CANADIANS TO LEAD WEAPONS INSPECTION TEAM INTO USA
November 21, 2002
(Toronto) - A coalition of Canadian peace groups today
announced their intention to send an international team of
volunteer weapons inspectors into the United States later
this winter. The coalition, Rooting Out Evil, are recruiting
inspectors through their newly launched website,
Routing Out Evil
"Our action has been inspired by none other than George W.
Bush," said Christy Ferguson, a spokesperson for the group.
"The Bush administration has repeatedly declared that the
most dangerous rogue nations are those that:
1) have massive stockpiles of chemical, biological, andnuclear weapons;
2) ignore due process at the United Nations;
3) refuse to sign and honour international treaties; and
4) have come to power through illegitimate means.
"On the basis of President Bush's guidelines, it is clear
that the current U.S. administration poses a great threat to
global security," said Ferguson. "We're following Bush's
lead and demanding that the U.S. grant our inspectors
immediate and unfettered access to any site in the country -
including all presidential compounds - so that we can
identify the weapons of mass destruction in this rogue
state," added David Langille.
Visitors to Rooting Out Evil's website are invited to sign
on as honorary members of the weapons inspection team.
Honorary inspectors can participate in the action, or they
can simply lend the support of their name as they would on a
petition. The actual inspection team that crosses the
border will be comprised of prominent individuals from
Canada and other countries.
The Rooting Out Evil coalition includes Greenpeace Canada,
the Centre for Social Justice, and the Toronto Committee
Against War and Sanctions on Iraq, and is supported by
American groups such as the National Network to End the War
Against Iraq, Global Exchange and the US section of the
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. They
oppose the development, storage, and use of weapons of mass
destruction by any state.--For information: David Langille or Christy Ferguson

Just ask random people who they voted for, if they say, "Bush & Cheney! All the Way!", PUNCH THEM IN THE FUCKING THROAT!
But how does this help, you ask?
Well, it doesn't. Dumbfucks are still going to somehow manage to vote Republican, but at least you won't have to listen to their shitty, logicless arguments about how Bush is doing wonders for freedom, when he's really raping the American people!
"But you promised extra cash!" Sure!
When the fucking waste of skin Bush Voter is on the ground gasping for air, kick them in the face. Again. Then take their Big Business fattened wallet!
"Doesn't this violate their rights? Beating the piss out of Bush Voters?" Sure!
When aforementioned Bush Voter regains their feet and whistles, "Thissss isss terror...ism...", Punch them in the throat again! You're just striking out against random people! Just like Bush does when he arbitrarily declares war on the 'terrorists of the week'!
Don't forget to turn them in as terrorists! After you've punched them in the throat again. (Don't hold back! Follow through is important to get the job done! Just ask Bush! If you feel more punches to the throat are nessasary, go-to-fucking-town!)
With your help, we can have a Republican-free=(terrorist-free) world!
I'd just like to take a moment to thank everyone who voted for Bush and Ashcroft for their hard work in being total idiots.
Like all of this wasn't completely predictable from the beginning, you fucktards. Thanks a lot.
After all, nothing assures freedom like easily manipulated, credulous and distractible voters. Keep it up!
If you read the article carefully, it shows that NY Times has one or two leaks that the DOJ is "looking into" writing a "proposal" that would confront issues of cyber security.
From there on in it's all spin that Ashcroft is Big Brother. We've heard it all before.
The New York Times and the Washington Post have it in for the Bush administration. They never reveal their "whitehouse sources" and never disclose the "reports" and "proposals" these sources suposedly leak to them. Most of the time it seems like they bought an intern a beer and read his notebook of big ideas.
Most news readers are such sheep! If you went back and analyzed how many of these flash-in-pan big brother stories were "leaked" to the NY Times, and how many of them actually came to be, you'd notice the NY Times is FULL OF SH*T!
Anyone who believes this article is a stupid hippie more intent on thrills than facts.
