This is good news. This is exactly what we want. This is why we support free trade, this is why we support the idea of a global economy, this is why we support outsourcing. I'm glad that we are getting exactly what we want politically and economically.
at least if its digital speech in the form of a music CD or a DVD movie from America. You can forget about accessing that same information on the internet.
So while you can watch movies about how America pretends to be, you can't really see how America actually is, its funny but if China actually did access the American internet and they saw the last set of elections we just had, what would they think of Democracy?
This is why we must give up all our privacy and security to rid the world of terrorism. We need cameras on every street, we need to give more power to the CIA, the FBI, and do our best to combine all the powers in government and put it in control of just one or two men. When one man makes all the decisions, even if the decisions are wrong most of they time, they will be made swiftly.
Millions of people support an American empire. Millions of people want to remove social programs, and millions of people hate the poor. This is not new, its always been like this and you can go as far back to slavery in the USA, the slaughter of the natives, or all the way back to Europe when there was slavery and elitism. If you are a rich white male CEO you'd be logical to vote for George Bush, now the people who voted over silly stuff like gays and other stuff which really has nothing to do with politics or policy, that part of it was the brainwashing, but the majority are just voting in their own self interest.
If you work as a teacher, a scientist, a doctor or in one of those types of fields then its more likely you'd vote for Kerry because you'll be out of a job if you vote for Bush. It's simple.
Let Google use its Microsoft attack money. Microsoft has serious competition now. Google has more power and influence than Microsoft and Google is already politically connected.
I don't believe the Xfiles, I do believe when millions of people tell us something. I believe its easier for the government to lie to me than for millions of people.
You don't have to watch X-Files to know the government lies and does not care about its people. Just look at how the world actually is, do you actually trust the government?
Many are doing the best they can to destroy social security along with every other social program. I guess you've never met a true neo-conservative but they don't believe in social programs.
Technology must be used to aid politicians in making ethical decisions. This is why ethics, election reform, and sustainable economics are all important. When you have sustainable big business, and you focus on ethics and people actually get involved things change. Voting is not the same as being involved and most voters don't understand anything about economics or politics. If they stopped shopping and giving money to unethical businesses they wouldnt have unethical governments. If they actually organized around this instead of just vote they'd elect their own representitives. Right now in most countries, people blindly buy anything thats on sale without any awareness of what say Walmart does politically to their community.
All they need to do is develop a decentralized file storage system. They could easily design something like this. The client server model is kinda stupid for this purpose.
If you want to make change the only way to do it is through capitalism. A lot of the people on the left know this and are doing it, then you have the journalists who just talk about how bad free trade is and how globalization is wrong. The only way to change the system is through the economy and everyone who knows anything about government knows economics are the key, not votes.
You want a cleaner healthier environment? Create a profitable industry to clean the environment. You want fair trade? Create systems to help promote fair trade through technology, software and computers. When the computer technology can make the management decisions and the trade decisions more accurately than a biased human, you'll have fair trade.
This is how change actually works, voting is just a way to choose between two people selected by big businesses. So unless you own a big business or your big businesses in your country support a progressive government, you wont have one. Voting won't matter because its all about money.
In the USA we don't have an Indimedia at all. There is no left wing media in the USA unless you want to call Air America and CNN liberal, but liberal is not the same as the socialist left you see on Indymedia. Most liberals support free trade and don't really care about helping the poor, the socialist left on the other hand is busy fighting against CAFTA and fighting for fair trade. Free speech only exists anywhere because of the internet, and while you think you have free speech in the USA, if you are too much of a socialist or communist here you could lose your job, and this is if the government decides to be nice and not declare you a terrorist.
It's not just for communists or anarchists. In fact I'd say its mostly filled with socialists. I admit its left wing, and I agree its news for people who support universal healthcare, education and other social programs. I wouldnt say the majority of people want anarchy or communism, thats the far fringe of even the left. Common sense, we will never have communism or anarchism for the basic reason that too many humans want power over another and it would eventually end up as corrupt as capitalism and the systems we have now.
The purpose of these networks are to give news to the working class, and if people can ignore all the crazy anarchists and communists who don't have a very realistic plan or concept of global government, theres some articles and news worth listening to or reading.
I think this site exists for the same reason FoxNews exists, and these outlets have to exist. The left factions overall are bigger than the conservative right, so I see this as their foxnews.
If you agree with their ideas then go ahead and listen to them, if not then keep watching FoxNews.
Capitalism leads to fascism not democracy. The people who are rich control everything while the majority of the country control nothing, thats how it is in capitalism so stop lying to people.
The only Democracy you have is the freedom to vote, but your votes dont really matter because we are a Republic not a Democracy. You can vote for whoever you want but that wont win elections. Elections arent won by the popular vote. Elections are won by organized grassroots movements, timing, advertising, and lots of money and power struggles between powerful people. If you are just a poor citizen in the USA you have as much power to control the country as an ant has. If you come from a powerful family, a rich family, or you are well connected, thats when you have influence over politics.
Don't make the mistake of assuming all Americans have good intentions for China. Most of the Americans with good intentions arent the ones arguing about how censored google is. If you have good intentions for China then learn Chinese and go teach English in China, or do business with Chinese owned companies, or just buy products made in China. The way to help a country is through its economy. If you want to look at the track record for how Americans help other countries, look at how the west helped all the countries in Africa, look at how the west helped the Soviet Union, look at how the west helped Iraq. Most Americans arent out to help China, they are out to help themselves at Chinas expense, they want to get cheap labor from China and profit off of China and the best way for them to do it is to try to uncensor certain things and manipulate or control Chinas laws. I say let China be China because the only way China will be helped is if China helps itself. Westerners from Europe and America have a terrible track record on helping other countries unless they are countries in Europe. So just read up on history and see.
Right now in the USA millions of people are being sent to jail and given criminal records just for using illegal drugs. Why are drugs illegal? Because the government wants them to be illegal as an excuse to arrest millions of people. I'm sure theres a lot of bad laws in China too, but the USA has no right to talk about that right now and I as an American will say that until we clean our own house and solve our problems in Iraq we have no business even discussing China or helping China. Lets focus on Iraq.
Lets see, we had slavery, we had segregation, and now we have millions of minorities and poor people living in crime filled ghettos, 2 million people in prison, etc. Our human rights violations are as bad as China's. I don't see your point, I suppose in some ways we are better but not much better, we have no room to talk bad about China until we fix our own country.
During the civil rights movements, the government beat people up, attacked them with dogs, used hot water on them, people were killed including leaders such as Martin Luther King, China will have its civil rights movement too and so far theirs is a lot less violent than ours was.

The Goldman's law, the official revision of Godwins law. The first poster who cites Godwins law actually secretly supports Hitler.

The internet is why we still have free speech. Build the next internet and you increase free speech.
Many are doing the best they can to destroy social security along with every other social program. I guess you've never met a true neo-conservative but they don't believe in social programs.
Then they'll just be fired or pay higher prices and the money still goes to fund Walmart which funds politicians who want to abolish social security.

But if you want to know what Indymedia is, its an underground network of journalists. You can check it out and judge for yourself
Here are the sites

But it seems we have the same problems as China. So why don't we fix our own problems instead of trying to fix China's?

Hitler killed millions of jews just because they existed. You compare him to Hitler?
