Currency Exchange Website Accused of Cyber Terrorism By Venezuelan Government (arstechnica.com)

braindrainbahrain writes: A U.S.-based website that covers the unofficial exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Bolivar, the Venezuelan currency, has been accused of cyber terrorism in a civil complaint. Venezuela, suffering from ever increasing inflation, maintains very tight controls on currency exchange, and accuses the website operators of racketeering and conspiracy. In an earlier speech, Venezuelan President Nicola Maduro stated he would ask the President of the United States to hunt down the operators of the DT Site and extradite them to Venezuela to be tried as criminals.

Government terrorism

Of course. In this world nothing is a bigger crime than honesty and nobody is a bigger terrorist than somebody telling the truth to power. Snowden is a terrorist to the USA government, same as Assange.

  Of course. It is a currency exchange informational site that is the terrorist, not a collectivist government driven by Keynesian ideas of 'creating prosperity by printing paper money'.

Of course. The Federal reserve bank chair woman is the bellweather of the economy, she and her institution are not driven by politics and are not manipulating the markets by insane economic policy of money printing and non existing interest rates.

Of course. The USA economy is doing just fine under the corporate collectivism and will be even better once the collectivists take over and turn it into a democratic collectivism. Collectivism is what drives the economy and makes it all better, not free market and private property (capitalism).

Obviously the economy can be ran by the collectivist ideology, simply issue new rules and regulations, that is what makes a nation productive - rules and regulations, not private initiative and free market entrepreneurship. Anybody who disagrees is a millionaire / billionaire and / or the enemy of the middle class, likely a terrorist.

( for the sarcastically challenged: the above are not a recipe for creating a sound economy, just so that we are clear)

A 'real terrorist' today: a person who does not follow and/or agree with the main stream and the party line. Not to be confused with the irrelevant and 'useful terrorist', somebody simply shooting and/or blowing up some irrelevant proles.
