Ahhh, outstanding points all, but you forgot one thing, the utter craftiness of the Chinese, combined with the soullessness of present-day Americans:
As an example, the Bodies Exhibition, where cretinized Americans pay the Chinese government to view the preserved remains of murdered Chinese dissidents! So those wily Chinese can make money off of practically anything, as long as there exists some halfwitted Americanskis.....
However, now you have companies moving to Europe and Australia...
Your point completely escapes any logical premise? Why haven't they already moved, Einstein? Obviously, there are very sound economical reasons for their companies to be based in America (far too many to list here, but read up on the history of US foreign incursions and the positive effects felt by particular US industries). Once your basic premise is found invalid, there's no reason to proceed further......
I hope I don't lose anyone by getting too technical - but another tell-tale sign is the presence of those nifty fortune cookie fortunes at the bottom of all their hax.
Indians always remind me of those godawful Brits and NewZealanders (a bunch of snotty pips). Anyways, there are plenty of connections between the Moonies (Unification Church) and the Bush family here in Amerika. I'll bet they don't have the Moonies over in India land.....
Since you mentioned that evil, "Fox News," you may be interested in a case where a legal case the judge found in favor of Fox for lying - stating that it was OK for Fox to lie publicly. Truly representative of how abysmal this sorry country has become.
Naaah...that's what the Department of Homeland Security is for -- remember that delusional deviant, Mark Karr - the one who claimed to be the murderer of little JonBenet so he could get free - first-class (business class) fare back to the States? Your tax dollars at work, amigo.....
Hey! How come some neocon script kiddie hasn't modded this guy to troll yet? For his brilliance, forthright honesty, intelligence, lucid logical reasoning and obvious superior intelligence? (That sound you hear is the tumultuous clapping of thousands in the background. Thanks.)
And my point is that the "bloggers" have not ascended, but that what now passes for "investigative reporting" has declined to the point where it isn't any better than those "bloggers".
Not necessarily...Sirota and Palast both have blog sites, as does various former intel guys (www.waynemadsenreport.com and www.noquarter.typepad.com, plus others....)
The U.S. is the richest and most powerful country in the world.
It would take far too long for me to address all the erroneous issues you have raised, so, suffice it to say, the USA went backrupt approximately 2.5 years ago (or around that period). If you haven't figured that out by now, you don't even possess the fundamental knowledge necessary to debate this subject.....
.. the whole investigation seems to have fizzled away..
Nope, it didn't so much fizzle as the government - through MSM newsies on the government payroll (and for any skeptics, please review the media history over the past thirty years) - has now proclaimed that the "innocent" Armitage (mister official neocon bagman) is supposed to have been the first leak. This administration does indeed successfully manipulate the news, which is why the blogosphere in the web continuum will be the only place this subject can be honestly addressed.....
First you read the sites below, then do your own research to verify them - if you so choose:
www.commondreams.org, www.truthout.org, www.liarsandcrooks.com, www.worldnews.com, www.americaneconomicalert.org, and you'll have to google the rest as I've got to go now....
PopeRatzo, I think you've got me mixed up with someone else -- I've never watched Fox News in my life - nor would I ever, ever recommend that total crapola network. I said I received more factual news from reading blogs and web sites than I ever do reading any American newspapers or American TV news. (And I am in full agreement with your outstanding post.)
Cases in point: (1) On an Italian site many months ago we first learned that Accenture had been contracted to bring in rigged voting machines for the Italian elections by former - and ousted president - Berlisconi. Their exit polls showed Berlisconi losing by 1 million votes - while the rigged count displayed only 25,000 votes. Either way - he lost - but we now realize Accenture's activity in the matter. (2) Foreign news reports stating that some British SAS (their special ops organization) refused to return to Iraq to fight beside the American forces as they strongly disagreed with the American strategy and behavior over there. No where did these stories appear in the popular, MSM American news....
And to build upon your comment - while there is such a thing as web-scrubbing - few leters to the editor ever make it into print. Personally, as I've pointed out numerous errors to the editors of my hometown newspapers - and questioned why the refused to fact-check - they absolutely refuse to print any of my letters to the editor.....
The real question is, how are these things handled by the courts and laws of the countries in which they occur?
Nope, blueZhift, the real question is why don't you "get it" after all this time?? Part of the reason for offshoring is the avoidance of American laws - including privacy laws. I'm deeply concerned you are reading/., yet don't possess the requisite logic or abstract intelligence to comprehend this! Next you'll be suggesting that after all these jobs have been offshored - the corps will one day simply bring them back to their originating countries - that ain't the way economies work. By that time the damage will be done and it will be far too late.....
I sort of disagree with you. What is new is that the Web is about the only place most Americans, and others in certain countries, are able to get any actual news. We certainly can't get much factual (fact-checked) news from the Wash. Post, NY Times et al.
..."India is evil! Don't outsource to India" paranoia and hysteria...
Your diatribe is most silly and nonsensical. There's absolutely nothing xenophobic about one's economic survival - and not wanting corrupt American (or Euro or Japanese) corporations offshoring one's job - or bringing in foreign replacement workers -- the proper term is scabs, dude!! The best way to fight foreign scabs is to attack the local corporations doing the offshoring. Eventually, the rubes in America will wise up - after they've wasted money on their Thomas Friedman B.S. books (Friedman's networth from marriage: $2.5 billion) - and take matters in their own hands the way previous Americans did.
And there's nothing special about India - they have to survive off the jobs offshored to them because they're not talented enough to create their own industries.....talk sense, sonny....
Slashdot Mirror
In Communist China, the State hacks into you.
As an example, the Bodies Exhibition, where cretinized Americans pay the Chinese government to view the preserved remains of murdered Chinese dissidents! So those wily Chinese can make money off of practically anything, as long as there exists some halfwitted Americanskis.....

What the hell's wrong with a Xeno orgy (or was her name Xena????)?
Indians always remind me of those godawful Brits and NewZealanders (a bunch of snotty pips). Anyways, there are plenty of connections between the Moonies (Unification Church) and the Bush family here in Amerika. I'll bet they don't have the Moonies over in India land.....
Great video...a robotic stalker, huh?

Well said, Citizen wizbit, and especially appropriate when one considers Operation Mockingbird and what passes for news lately....
Not necessarily...Sirota and Palast both have blog sites, as does various former intel guys (www.waynemadsenreport.com and www.noquarter.typepad.com, plus others....)

And as far as the news goes, RT(his)FA and please RT(his)FA.

Granted. Point taken. But if one peruses several hundred blogs per day, one will be adequately versed in the news and world events...
Nope, it's safer to have your information in the country of origin where it's protected by that country's privacy laws.....
I sort of disagree with you. What is new is that the Web is about the only place most Americans, and others in certain countries, are able to get any actual news. We certainly can't get much factual (fact-checked) news from the Wash. Post, NY Times et al.

It's just you -- NO, I'm kidding...but don't worry - I'm sure M$ will just become the Symphony and Lotus Notes of the future....
