MPAA's Dodd Secretly Lobbied For a Canadian DMCA
An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian government is expected to pass copyright reform next week. The bill's anti-circumvention rules are a mirror image of the DMCA, leading many to conclude that the government simply caved to U.S. led lobbying pressure. Now Michael Geist provides the evidence — a secret series of unreported meetings between MPAA head Christopher Dodd and Canada's foreign minister, heritage minister, and a senior industry official, just weeks after the bill was introduced and days before SOPA landed in the U.S."

"PHILADELPHIA - June 15, 2012 (WPVI) -- The Transportation Security Administration is recommending seven TSA officers be fired at Philadelphia International Airport.
A news release issued Friday morning confirmed was sources had told Action News earlier in the day.
The TSA said the workers are among 10 who are accused of paying bribes to a training instructor last year in order to pass annual proficiency exams."
You see, the state is by nature corrupt - not everyone is immune to this, but the state is famous for both the level and the brazenness with they get away with the corruption (something to do with the ability to tax nearly at will and in leiu of that to just keep printing fake money I guess). Case in point the GSA Las Vegas Super Extravaganza. Google it.
But here's the rub.
These are the same morons you are putting in charge of your healthcare. Your grandmothers, your daughters, yourself. Your very healthcare will be paid for by state employees in the end (assuming that the law is not overturned in some form or another very soon, we hope). And these employees will have certificates and diplomas and ID badges bought and paid for by bribes and even worse.
Count on it drones.
