AU Government Censors Document On Planned Web Snooping
MrPPS writes "The Australian Government plans to force ISPs to record and retain all citizens' communications traffic. The Sydney Morning Herald requested that the proposed policy documents be released under Freedom of Information laws. What they received was a document that was 90% censored, in order to prevent 'premature unnecessary debate.' More discussion on the Greyhat Security site. Here is the redacted document (PDF, 3.6 MB)."
don't see it in with 'stuff that matters', or anywhere else really. more than enough gooing on here for US anyway. finding out what the 'snoopers' look at can be interesting as well.
meanwhile (possibly a difficult unsettling while); the corepirate nazi illuminati is always hunting that patch of red on almost everyones' neck. if they cannot find yours (greed, fear ego etc...) then you can go starve. that's their (slippery/slimy) 'platform' now. see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder
never a better time to consult with/trust in our creators. the lights are coming up rapidly all over now. see you there?
greed, fear & ego (in any order) are unprecedented evile's primary weapons. those, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' life0cidal hired goons' agenda. most of our dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'wars', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid schemes. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & any notion of prosperity for us, or our children. not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one, & the terminal damage to our atmosphere (see also: manufactured 'weather', hot etc...). see you on the other side of it? the lights are coming up all over now. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be your guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. we now have some choices. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on your brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.
"The current rate of extinction is around 10 to 100 times the usual background level, and has been elevated above the background level since the Pleistocene. The current extinction rate is more rapid than in any other extinction event in earth history, and 50% of species could be extinct by the end of this century. While the role of humans is unclear in the longer-term extinction pattern, it is clear that factors such as deforestation, habitat destruction, hunting, the introduction of non-native species, pollution and climate change have reduced biodiversity profoundly.'

"I think the bottom line is, what kind of a world do you want to leave for your children," Andrew Smith, a professor in the Arizona State University School of Life Sciences, said in a telephone interview. "How impoverished we would be if we lost 25 percent of the world's mammals," said Smith, one of more than 100 co-authors of the report. "Within our lifetime hundreds of species could be lost as a result of our own actions, a frightening sign of what is happening to the ecosystems where they live," added Julia Marton-Lefevre, IUCN director general. "We must now set clear targets for the future to reverse this trend to ensure that our enduring legacy is not to wipe out many of our closest relatives."--

no need to confuse 'religion' with being a spiritual being. our soul purpose here is to care for one another. failing that, we're simply passing through (excess baggage) being distracted/consumed by the guaranteed to fail illusionary trappings of man'kind'. & recently (about 10,000 years ago) it was determined that hoarding & excess by a few, resulted in negative consequences for all.
consult with/trust in your creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." )one does not need to agree whois in charge to grasp the notion that there may be some assistance available to us(

Ahh, here's a fine example of how liberals love to tell us how they're going to spend our money for us, but when it comes to their money they are conservative to the core.
I lived in New York City for a year, right by Gramercy Park on 25th and Lexington. When a well-connected buddy of mine lent me his key to Gramercy Park, he asked, ‘What the fuck are you going to do in it, go walk your dog?’ And I was like, ‘No dude, I’m going to fuck in Gramercy Park.’ So I meet this girl and she is, like, all impressed that I have the key to Gramercy Park—she’s one of those girls. So we get to the park around midnight, and she’s acting kind of weird. But she didn’t have that much to drink. We start hooking up, and I was like, ‘Let’s have sex.’ And she was like, ‘No, I want to blow you, and I want you to finish in my mouth.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, fine. Whatever.’ So she goes down on me, and I finish. We go back to her place. She has another drink and is acting weird again. We begin fucking. She’s on top of me and starts wigging out. And I’m thinking, What the fuck is wrong with her? She falls off of me, opens the drawer next to her bed, pulls out a hypodermic needle, sticks it her thigh and shoots it. I’m thinking, What the fuck is going on? This is fucking freaking me out! You know what she was? Diabetic! It was hypoglycemic shock. She thought my come would stabilize her blood sugar. That was her thought process! I was like, You’ve got to be shitting me. You think my come is going to regulate your blood sugar? Seriously? Seriously!
Yeah! I like to smell its feet..
Who is this guy? It appears he's with the Greens... What the hell is wrong with them to let somebody like this in the party? Looks like the Greens should be tossed into the dustbin with the others.. I never did trust them considering the strange bedfellows they hang with... I sure as hell would never vote for them.. I hope nobody else does.
For justice, we must go to Don Corleone
Umm, you mean like Nancy "We need to pass the bill so you know what's in it" Pelosi on health care? Because, I mean...
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
I feel bad replying to a troll at all, but you're dreaming about the "start packing your bags" stuff.
I remember a story a few years ago saying congressional approval levels are always dismally low and yet historically about 90% of congressmen are re-elected. Why? Because the majority of people absolutely hate Congress but think their personal representatives are doing a pretty good job. Even in the Democrats' "sweeping victory" in the 2008 elections when everybody was beyond fed up with Bush and the Republicans, only 31 (voting) seats changed hands in the US House of Representatives. For those who don't know American politics, all 435 voting seats were up for re-election. 92.18% re-election rate. That's not to say there wasn't a strong consequence, of course, since the Democrats became the majority party in both houses and controlled the White House -- but it's still a small amount of change overall.
I wish I could find a source, but I honestly don't even know what I'd be searching for since "Congressional approval ratings" obviously won't get the job done. The data from the 2008 election was from Wikipedia.
