Its bullshit man, sure there's people who act as terrorists (see "The Mandarin, Ironman") for a (movie example, since literary examples are not quite relevant anymore).
There has been no significant threat to Americans thwarted by the CIA or NSA. The FBI was told to STAND DOWN before 911. And the prior bombing int he basement. Even though they had specific intel on both incidents.
The intel that gets shared on public mass media is propanda. There were no bunkers for Hussam in Iraq. There is no grand chemical weapons threat.
Could something happen like the incident in Tokyo with Sarin gas? Sure but its just as likely to be government funded than an actual terrorist organization. At this point.
The point is we cannot trust our government to "protect us". Take away our freedom, disabling our means of protecting ourselves. They don't want revolution. Because we are on the verge of something tianamin square level in the states. Despite how much people want to bury their heads in the sand.
2 million bikers in DC this month/last few weeks. Not even aired on public TV. Take a good look at your world. At the corporations, the services they provide. Who they cater to. And how your police operate.
Take a solid hard look. Don't take my word for it.
Ask why there are so many disenfranchised poor vagrant transient people in America today. Ask why welfare exists. Question everything. Look at it all.
- Seriously... RIAA, MPAA, recording "industry", Media Syndicates, Mass Media, Murdoch, Hollywood, Dionysian Cultists.
You cannot stop nature. You cannot control humanity. You cannot enslave us. If you do, we'll just make slave songs and share them for free amoungst ourselves.
Music is not a form of property meant to be "legaleezed" into submission for a tiny power elite.
They did this to Shadowrun the FPS when it was actually a good game. They didn't want it competing with other products and discontinued it, refused to update, or release content, and patch it.
Honduras was supposed to be pretty good. Though Latin America is a playground for these people.
However if your just a meaningless expatriate who does not get involved in corrupt local politics or drugs. You could potentially live out 2-4 decades peacefully in a South American country, or one that may have recently gotten back in good standing with the IMF, such as Argentina. But don't take my word from it. This is only gleaned from my cursory research googling the web.
Its not the first time I have read about it. I read about an incident similar to this several years ago in a mainstream news outlet... NYTimes, Time, or some other magazine.
The problem is that it occurs more then once every few years.
The presidents of European nations all heal to the same masters as ours. Seen a NYTimes photo of Turkeys elected leader. Same suit, same tie, same generic lapel pin, on the same side. They are uniformed soldiers doing their duty. If there's any outrage from a local or lower government official it will just be to placate the masses, save face, the end of said officials careers. Might as well be clones IMO.
Thats really neat =) I never would have thought to ask that question, but the answer is pretty cool and informative. Would love to see more airships. I always wanted one for personal transportation. I figure it would be a pretty feasible and safe mass transit system, fuck trains.
Lots of us agree that the rich power elite need to be made to heal to the masses some and we need to fix up our political system through reform of some kind or another. Many of us would gladly put the energy in to fix it. But there are few leaders, and the majority that want to lead are almost as insane/corrupt as the ones already doing the evil deeds.
Your right, theres no grand conspiracy. People are still able to put food on their table, play xbox, and feel safe in their homes at night. And the giant capitalist (not really anymore) machine marches on.
But at least half the people I know don't argue about the fact that the top 1% rich people are fucking us all over for a few more minutes, years, days of security. And that they won't be here to answer for their crimes. And that we will pay the price in the anarchy that follows their changing of the guard (once a new group rises up to unseat them, or they retire of old age, or whatever).
You must admit that a lot of really bad speech is rightly protected though. Like people screaming or chanting fuck you at a protest. Though we've gone way past that slippery slope, especially where politics is concerned.
Now 'inciting' or 'insinuating' anything... meaning, you think we should have a rebellion. Plainly and calmly stated is world ending in the correct scenarios, or anything contradictory to Executive will.
Yeah that image, and that plan has been in the works almost two decades now. And its just a matter of who passes the legislation and gets the keys first.
You make a good point. Google would love to deal without the middleman. I think they are good right now. But given the upperhand position for network delivery, do you think you will need a google account and apply to googles terms of service to deliver over google fiber in the future you predict?
I think they would run the entirety of google fiber on youtubes account/eula model if they could get away with it.

I would go with obsidian order. Their more inward focused then the Tal Shiar.

Also, birds of a feather, flock together. Fashion is dictated more by station then personal preference in those circles.
For those of us that aren't averse to conspiracy, Masonic symbolism is a big one =)

In fact nothing is. So go die in a fire.

M$ is the grim reaper of IP.
My personal favorites are hostile and extreme environments with the lowest population densities. Where you will not be of interest.

Thanks for the correction, than vs then is one I really struggle with.

You seem angry about it, sorry for you, grab some popcorn at least.

perhaps with hydrogen...
LOL DAMN! my plan is foiled !!!
Will write a book about better cellular reception through aura mastery $$.

By bypassing this system entirely.
IANACT.
Thats great, when you can talk to the judge about it, especially at least after the fact. And hold those judges accountable, in public.
