Now that is exactly why unions where created and why corporates hired thugs to murder union leaders and bought off politicians sent the national guard to physically abuse and even kill strikers. So it was before, so it will be again and those idiot screaming toddlers who want more, more, more, will instead find prison more accommodating to their corrupt life style. With four decades of continuous propaganda attacks by main stream media, unions were weakened but with the internet they are resurrecting as strong as ever. No IT unions, IT workers will be screwed over, IT Unions and abuse corporations and abusive corporate executives will be the ones facing real criminal penalties. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... (Vive La Guillotine!).
The EU could drop the US, pick up other like minded countries around the world and create a more capable union, creating a more effective third pole to global politics. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the US doesn't want allies it just demands vassal states that will obey corporate edicts coming out of the US. Russia went though it's own self destructive imperialistic stage and isn't much of a threat at the moment. Asia is really much more diverse than being defined by generalised appearance characteristics and there is no real union possible along those lines, more an independent, mutually supportive association, with India, China and Japan creating separate poles within the Asian political pole.
The EU really needs to pick up members that will make it independent from both the US and Russia and avoid disruptive members that are a burden rather than a benefit ie Ukraine (it should be pretty obvious by now Russia didn't lose the Ukraine they dumped it, what a chaotic debt bomb, US spent 5 billion to pick up 100 billion of debt). Russia is big enough to pretty much do it's own thing on it's own. Then we can see how the five politics poles work together (fifth being the associated association).
My preferred social media site is the whole of the internet. What Google or anyone else do, is simply make that more 'PRIVATELY' manageable. The other thing is of course portal sites, one site where you can cluster things you are most likely to refer to upon a regular basis. Combine those two things with an emphasis on private off line access and separate out public user name from private name because psychopaths and trolls all over the internet. Toss in some idle credit earning opportunities where the earned credits can be spent on provided services and you are pretty much done.
New thing for social media. Open source government policy writing, come up with ideas and write legislative policy to implement those ideas in various jurisdictions and vote on policies and contributions to those policies (let's all become a little more involved). Social, open, content creation, creating content specifically for the public domain.
The most important question, why would anyone be stupid enough to think running a government like a business works. In small business under capitalism, only 1 in 10 succeed, by far the majority go bankrupt 90%. So what, try out new government services only to have the majority fail is somehow sound. That some how trial and error are preferable to careful but admittedly expensive research. Perhaps government needs to set up multiple branches of the same service so they can compete and one wins while the rest go bankrupt. So why exactly, not empty PR=B$ platitudes but actually data, is government run like a for profit business better, especially as a monopoly (taking into account how bad private monopolies have proven to be over the centuries).
Reality is space is a harsh place and with out an atmosphere to burn up large number of veyr high velocity bits of rock, anything you put into space unless it is heavily armoured, stands a pretty good chance of being struck. Now I have heard absolute volumes of crap about how good private enterprises is (even in the face of history and the millions of private enterprises that have gone bankrupt, the core principle of private enterprise the losers must be destroyed otherwise you can not have winners) but some how being private makes the equipment immune to meteoroid impacts is a new one, is this some capitalism God worship thing?
The whole intent is pretty straight forward. They want all of the data public, so that it can be challenged in court, for years, prior to any changes. They will back this up with straight up junk science, not to defeat the real science but simply to bog it down in court. So one legislative change might be based upon hundreds of reports, they will simply cherry pick one report that can most readily be challenged, produce a counter junk science report and then block the legislative change until it is all resolved in court.
Mind you the stupidity of this is mind boggling, they are basically going to crap all over there own nest, why, because they are immune to pollution and toxins, nope, just stupidly greedy.
So let me get this straight rich gits with chauffeurs get priority over everyone else because why, why the fuck, why? So do you or do you not count a professional driver in the car with one, just one fucking person actually travelling to a destination. That other person is just a labour saving device and not a person going to a destination, yet the rich git in the back gets priority over the nobodies who can not afford a limousine with an associated driver. Should a taxi with one passenger be in the HOV lane or not, reality is no but in order to favour limousine passenger, oh yeah.
So car safety should take into account in the other half of "Its how you drive the car more than what you drive that get's you into trouble", assuming a two car collision and one making a mistake whilst the other is just an innocent victim of that mistake. "So is is what you drive and how others drive, that gets people into trouble".
So the whole system should be revised because statistics prove it is extremely dangerous and causing a huge amount of pain and suffering. Just barely reasonable for the past and most certainly not good enough for the future.
So why the release? Are they finding it really hard to recruit people hence, "Very few working-level C.I.A. analysts were told about it." As in come join the CIA and NSA we are not all psychopaths douche bags who get sexually aroused by prying into everyone's privacy, the power, the power.
Yep, they are not all evil and pathetic but until they start prosecuting the corrupt, they have no hope of being respected and that especially includes Darth Cheney, the number one conspirator behind all that mess.
Poker is a game of chance, straight probability calculations nothing more nothing less. Beyond that it is about reading the players and that has nothing to do with poker. So I am 'ass'uming they are inserting butt plug stress monitoring probes and using that to associate stress with betting styles and to be able to assess when a players arse puckers with relation to the quality of their cards and the bets they make.
Men who shave want to look prepubescent because, WHY? Does that prepubescent look attract them, do they prefer women with shaven legs that look more prepubescent because, WHY? Growing a beard is normal for by far the majority of men, why pursue an unnatural act in order to look more child like because WHY? What exactly is the purpose in modern sexuality of looking more childlike? Everyone take note.
Political activism also threatens corporate interests and they are the ones with money to pay for all kinds of stuff, including assassins and mercenaries. The deployment of mercenaries, killers for hire has been really active in the last decade and the US Government in all of it's corporate driven insanity is pushing it. Who was behind it and who benefited most.
The answer to that would be, 'er', yes. It indicates that astronomical motions are for more chaotic than imagined and hence as you go down from large to small so that chaos would reflect in more errant objects. So yeah, we can quite readily be impacted by dangerous objects at any time and it behoves us to try to do something about reducing risk, the smaller the objects the more prevalent they and the greater the risk of impact. So finding high risk objects and reducing that risk. It's like the the stupid, why study volcanoes can not do nothing to stop them, what a waste of time. The reason of course to study volcanoes is to figure out when they will erupt and ensure harm to people and property is minimised.
Rather pointless for the Russians to hack the Whitehouse, the puppet house, nothing there but implied instructions from their corporate campaign donors. Want to know what the actual American government is doing, Russia needs to hack the boardrooms and homes of the US's dominate corporate leaders to find out what is actually going on and to be able to get actionable data. This to bring them down or to force better behaviour, lots of dirt there and of course even more in the tax havens positive gold mine of US and western government corruption.
Want to know what is going on don't watch the puppet show, just mock it's subservience and incompetence (good people are more likely to be loyal to their fellow citizens then corrupt corporations), pay attention to the psychopaths pulling the campaign strings. Shine a light in those shadows and watch the cockroaches scatter no matter how rich they are and how much power they 'think' they have.
The new cold war is US Corporations VS the People of The World.
So who supervises the children, who ensures they play well together, who ensures they learn life and citizen lessons, who ensure the actually learn the material. Let me guess armed guards with tasers and handcuffs, they are really fucking cheap and hell, when it comes to the US the will be more than ample law enforcement types who would switch to school enforcement in order to 'play' with the kiddies, hell there would a whole bunch of pseudo conservative, pseudo religious types who would pay to play.
Quality staff, providing a quality adult child interaction to ensure good psychological outcomes and as a side issue provide knowledge, this why the parent are forced to work to feed the indulgences of the rich and greedy. Oh wait it's the America solution, the children of the rich get that and the children of the poor, well, they get the child molesters. Let's all follow the American way, be greedy, selfish and cheap when it comes to other peoples children and let's generate profits anyway possible, including the cheapest possible people looking after their worthless children.
Everyone knows exactly what is causing the shitiness, douche bag lawyers, writing crap non-warranties, so manufacturers don't give a crap how bad their products are as long as those same douche bag lawyers can fend off enough angry customers to generate a good profit, selling shit likes it gold. PR=B$ (public relations lies) can also work to convince customer they are the only ones, by flooding every media channel with lies about how good the products are and how they are the only ones with problems, including and especially fucking forums. Corporate douche baggery is the problem, companies run by psychopaths is the problem, companies running governments in order to block government management consumer protections from working properly is the problem and those shitty products and shitty software is just a symptom.
Nothing to do with any of that at all. Simply letter of the law stuff and children's rights versus parent's rights under a countries constitution, yep, they are equal. So I am male and these is only one answer for a male when it comes to abortion, I do not support it but it is the women's right to choose. Basically, pretty much I am male and hence abortion, it is most definitely not my right to choose, one way or the other. When you carry the burden and you take the physical health risk, then you get to choose. Now to take the idea beyond birth, would be to get the male to take full legal responsibility and risk for all the child's future behaviour including and especially that child's criminal behaviour, then and only then could the male be considered to have a say in abortion or not.
Social democracies, one person one vote, corporations one person billions of votes, the other person fucking none. So yeah PR=B$. I would much rather public governance than private governance and that is the real issue in question.
Let's be honest by far the bulk of content except maybe landscape channels sucks balls at 4K. Botox dead faces, awful plastic surgery, crappy acting, set flaws, bad special effects, poor camera work, stupid shit like lens flare and the list goes on. Never of course to forget the blatant bullshit of 3D double vision (now there was a truth they managed to hide for years, lying bastards). DRM or more accurately the theft of everyone digital rights pushed under the PR=B$ lies of digital rights management (they really are sick people when they come up with that blatant double speak).
This has nothing to do with anyone's digital rights and everything to do with censorship in hardware, in your home, that you are forced to pay for. Don't pay a licence fee for your wedding videos, see them blocked until you do. Can't play old content on new hardware because you can not transfer it as you are actively blocked from doing because they specifically want to charge you for the same content over and over and over again, well, suck it on up losers. Are M$ evil, you, betcha. Why are the evil fuckers at M$ so desperate for it, monopoly in collusion with a 'PATENTED' DRT (digital rights theft) method, that is the pay off for them, that and a long term plot to become the dominant global publishers and drive most others out of business.
That still does not answer the question of measuring the value or harm of the content and whether it is worth protecting at public expense, nor paying the cost of that fair and reasonable test. Copyprivilege should not be automatic but must pass a public test and pay the cost of that test, to ensure that the cost to society of that artificial unjust protection is measured as being of true value to that society.
What needs to be carefully looked at is interpretive laws and the way they actually work in application. The rich basically use their wealth and lawyers to abuse the poor. Not only can the rich most abusively annoy the poor and get away it, they can also claim any imaginable action of the poor is annoying and ensure the poor are punished for it.
Just to be clear about an understanding of annoyance. A criminal runs up and shoots people in a bank and takes the money. Now don't you think that criminal finds in annoying when police investigate the matter, find out who did it, hunts the criminal down and arrests them. Don't you think the criminal finds the prosecution, judge and jury annoying when the evidence in presented and the criminal is successfully prosecuted. Now don't you think the criminal is extremely annoyed by the correctional services people who will not let the criminal run free to able to commit more crimes.
Be very, very careful of the legal dance with the idea of annoyance because the most glaring example, don't you think investors find it annoying when unions demand better wages and conditions for their workers, extremely annoying, let alone an actual strike. Don't corrupt politicians find protesters to be extremely annoying and look those corrupt politicians actually do seek to prosecute those people expressing their political rights under what are basically annoyance laws under another name.
Don't you get it, it works the American way. Eye for an Eye. One person from a country attacks me, then I am allowed to attack anyone from that country for any reason and in any way, as well as attack all those from that country who would try to stop be attacking some one in that country.
So in computer parlance, let's all play the electromagnetic pulse game because that is really going to work so well for everyone.
Here is a question and what point does a countries espionage agents cease to be their agents and become more accurately double agents working for another country. So did German intelligence do this or did German nationals working as American espionage agents do this. The law would say, that they were not German Agents but American agents who happened to be German nationals working in German intelligence services. The exact same thing applies to most of the others in one eyed, eight blind mice group.
Those double agents are not working in the interests of their country, they are working in the interests of the corrupt US corporations that control the US government. Imagine nine countries intelligence services all managing the global fuck up that has been the 'WAR ON TERROR'. Now how many of them were actually treasonously 'in the know'.
The most noticeable thing about abusive law enforcement actions in the US, only the law enforcement (let's be clear the US does not have police it has law en-FORCE-ment). Not really US law enforcements fault, not really. Some one else is selecting the people to become law enforcers, somebody is training to poor selections to be law enforcers, somebody is setting policy for those poorly selected and badly trained law enforcers, to ensure they act as revenue generating law enforcers. Take a long hard look at the difference between law enforcers in Conservative Government zones and police in Progressive zones. Not just locally but globally, yep, the people you select to run government are smooth talking, self serving, idiotic fuck ups, who are only capable of knee jerk simplistic thinking and voila you get the results you would expect.
The American reaction is like blaming all dogs for some dogs being bad. There is a huge difference in selection and training for a guide dog for the blind and a junk yard guard dog. Conservative American politicians in their ignorance and stupidity are putting junk yard dogs out on the street and getting the results you would expect.
Amongst the over 55s American Exceptiolism runs rife. Their viewpoint, who gives a shit what the NSA were doing to foreigners, foreigners are all sub human only Americans, well, certain Americans are actually human and should get human rights. This extends to foreign countries, only Americans have rights in foreign countries and those foreigners, 'er', 'um', it is up to their government to provide them rights 'AGAINST' the actions of the American government or American Corporations (with tiny defence forces and no nukes, snark, snark, if they try we will kill all that resist and they do exactly that and then fucking celebrate it). Regardless of anything they will say when answering a survey. That is the reality of American exceptional and America has no allies as far as those Americans are concerned, no country whose citizens have rights within their own country if those rights would in any way infringe about Americans in any way shape or form, no matter how much those actions are against the law in American (only when applied to American citizens, well, most citizens of course, exceptions being pretty bloody obvious). Thanks to the internet, America is pretty much advertising exactly this to the rest of the world, winning hearts and minds, not so much.
Useful arts; documentaries, instruction manuals, text books, reference books, factual news, the air hostess given instruction about emergency procedures at the front of a plane, puzzle books (in terms of mental exercise), historical performances, instructional videos etc. Of course we could just subsidise their production rather than paying for them over and over again. As for the rest, I am quite comfortable leaving it up to a publicly representative body reviewing content and deciding whether it is worthy of copy protection or not and justifying to the public what social value is in that particular content or why is was deemed worthy of publicly funded protection or why is was rejected and deemed not worthy of protection at public expense.

Now that is exactly why unions where created and why corporates hired thugs to murder union leaders and bought off politicians sent the national guard to physically abuse and even kill strikers. So it was before, so it will be again and those idiot screaming toddlers who want more, more, more, will instead find prison more accommodating to their corrupt life style.

The EU could drop the US, pick up other like minded countries around the world and create a more capable union, creating a more effective third pole to global politics. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the US doesn't want allies it just demands vassal states that will obey corporate edicts coming out of the US. Russia went though it's own self destructive imperialistic stage and isn't much of a threat at the moment.

This extends to foreign countries, only Americans have rights in foreign countries and those foreigners, 'er', 'um', it is up to their government to provide them rights 'AGAINST' the actions of the American government or American Corporations (with tiny defence forces and no nukes, snark, snark, if they try we will kill all that resist and they do exactly that and then fucking celebrate it). Regardless of anything they will say when answering a survey. That is the reality of American exceptional and America has no allies as far as those Americans are concerned, no country whose citizens have rights within their own country if those rights would in any way infringe about Americans in any way shape or form, no matter how much those actions are against the law in American (only when applied to American citizens, well, most citizens of course, exceptions being pretty bloody obvious). Thanks to the internet, America is pretty much advertising exactly this to the rest of the world, winning hearts and minds, not so much.

As for the rest, I am quite comfortable leaving it up to a publicly representative body reviewing content and deciding whether it is worthy of copy protection or not and justifying to the public what social value is in that particular content or why is was deemed worthy of publicly funded protection or why is was rejected and deemed not worthy of protection at public expense.
