Only One US City Makes "Top Ten Internet Cities Worldwide" List
An anonymous reader writes "A new report today has ranked the Top 10 'Internet Cities' around the globe, based on a set of five criteria: connection speed, availability of citywide WiFi, openness to innovation, support of public data, and security/data privacy. One might expect high-tech cities like San Francisco and Tel Aviv to appear on a list of 'Internet Cities,' but they don't. Indeed, no Middle Eastern cities appear here at all, and — due, largely, to the United States' poor Internet speeds — the only US city to make this ranking is Seattle."
The U.S's 'International War On Terror' (tm) was financed by the People's Republic of China. If you want to destroy a country, I can think of no better way to do it than to have them fight an endless war on a paticular military tactic, while you build up your country. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I were I guess I could think of half a dozen reasons not to believe the official story or pretty much anything else that is reported to me by the media. The media says that Muslim Terrorist took over the plane. Don't know maybe they did, however I find it doubtfull that our media industrial complex would have enough 'investigative skills' to make this determination. I mean that would require the kind of journalistic integrity and competance that hasn't existed in my country in 30 years. You would have to actually sort through the wreckage find passports, look on flight rosters. I can't see my media doing this. I can see them being fooled and mislaid by easy answers though. I have a great deal of faith and trust in my media when it is discussing things like Justin Beiber, or Selema Gomez, but to actually go out and investigate a story, and not just rereport whatever tidbit of news comes over the wire from whatever source happens to have the most influence? Now that I find hard to believe.
The only country that really benifited from 9-11 was China. The proud nations of Iraq and Afganastan (two countries that even by the official accounts had nothing to do with it) were bombed to hell while The USA is bankrupt.
Yea we were trolled pretty bad. I'm not sure by who, but ultimately it is our own dam fault.
