and that firm and the arrests have created even more activists to take the others' place, not to mention probably bringing the matter into the interest range of more serious and rebel segments of the internet. i would like to see those people deal with the latter type that they are slowly irritating.
as evolution then ? a debate that didnt exist just 20 years ago, is now as controversial as religion/evolution ?
the segments of the society which were totally unaware of the concept of climate or its change, are now sensitive to it.
now, if i say at this point that, this can only point to the conclusion that says the segments which are sensitive about both topics, are those who are in alignment with a particular political group that is backed by political interests, some of you are going to go berserk.
so then, explain me why the segments that have not been aware of climate or its change 20 years ago, are now sensitive and opposing to both climate change, and evolution, if they are not being herded by a particular political view....
i cant give any encouragement on this project, because, american government, is a source which we cannot trust for freedom of information at this point.
simply, it is illogical to support an endeavor for spreading information by a government which has been hostile to freedom of information regarding itself.
see ? it doesnt have enough credibility. had the american government been open to freedom of information up till this point, one could say that 'well, depending on their record, we can say that they are doing this out of principles', and support them. but, the record has been horrible.
moreover, despite there is similar repression in iran, american government is not doing a general, broad project for providing freedom of information to people under censorship, but, specifically targeting china. why ?
numerous reasons can be found. china holds huge american public debt, china holds american manufacturing, china is the biggest single-unit market on the planet, china is one of the few countries which american corporations cannot penetrate with their resources (like how they do for a lot of countries) and effect the political decision making process and twist it to their ends and so on. moreover, china is not intimidated, coerced or fooled by any advances of american government at all - it is totally the opposite. (due to the public debt situation, and manufacturing).
china also has been out of acta or similar negotiations, didnt give any credence to it at any given point, and has generally been acting against american private interest agendas being propagated.
especially, in the last 2 months, there has been quite stern exchanges in between officials of the two countries, in differing levels of government in various areas. to the point of a chinese trade representative (i believe it was a rep) outright declaring in a retort to american rep that america was practically bankrupt, dollar was water vapor and therefore there was no reason for anyone to care when america threatens economic pressure. (it was probably in regard to yuan being overvalued and america demanding it be adjusted and making various threats).
and now suddenly american government cares about the freedom of information, in china. at this stage, i would say freedom of propaganda, for its own self interests, under the light of the above advances, and couldnt bear myself to bring support behind anything american govt was doing in that direction.
moreover, freedom of information has a lot of true and real supporters everywhere. from freenet to darknets, from proxies to tor, there are lot of people doing real work with pure intentions. id much rather support them, before i support anything from a government with a horrible track record of hypocrisy.
in telecommunications era, it is indeed beyond stupid to attempt to remain closed, tribalist and protectionist. these all basically mean, division, discrimination, differentiation, walls.
whats more important, these walls are the exact things that create the differences in everything in between the divisions/countries :
think - cost of living in america is TOO high. despite it uses one of the cheapest oil in the planet, the price of living is way too high. that is precisely because the corporations there charge a lot for their products and services. DESPITE they are having them produced cheaply overseas.
there is the problem. these corporations are able to sell expensively despite producing cheaply, due to the walls. while, the customers cant.
basically, the wall works only one way, for the betterment of corporations. but, what would happen if it was otherwise ? imagine that, you could order medical care from any company/source on earth, through internet, and receive it through their local providers ? or, order a car from india, at indian prices ? complete lack of walls ?
right. in due time, every kind of price would equalize, and come to global standards. then, the customers would also be able to make use of the globalization.
actually, we should totally do away with corporations, and democratize the economy. in current situation, a global organization spanning hundreds of people can render immense services and produce immense number of products, but, decision making for what gets produced, and what not, and at what price, are still at the hands of 10-15 people owning or running the entire organization.
instead what should be is, bands of people collectively providing and using services, over a vast supply/demand network over the globe, coordinated by endless collaboration tools that internet enables. then, the promise and probability of a 'free market' happening can only begin to exist. an economy, by the people, for the people.
that american govt is so sensitive about freedom of information of chinese people, whereas trying to censor/suppress anything that wikileaks discloses about american government, to american people ?

i have recently made watching japanese animes my favorite pastime in between breaks during work. i find them especially hilarious and comedic. their comedic level ranks above the 'good' comedy series mainstream media produces.
im watching them from international sites, and since they are not copyrighted, there is no problem.
however, what i am not able to understand is, why the anime studios are not putting up these videos up in their websites with subtitles, offering paid membership with a reasonable rate to everyone. i, for one, would easily subscribe for such a service. but, if i didnt start regularly watching anime from pirate sites, i wouldnt even be interested in such a service probably.
but anime studios are still trying to stick to the shitty old distribution models over monopoly tv syndicates. that time is long past. the reach is too little that way, and it also limits their liberties with their material A LOT.
in socialism, you USE what you work for, and noone can alienate that right from you.
socialism has NO relevance with 'someone determining whats best for everyone'. socialism is everyone owning equal share in everything. it is NOT something political. what you speak of is in regard to planning and centralization, and it can be like that, or the other way in ANY given political system. feudalism was totally decentralized, yet, still it was not democratic. and you couldnt decide anything.
socialism is EVERYONE owning EQUAL share in everything that exists on earth. nothing more, nothing less. you can make the planning process democratic, or antidemocratic. that is entirely an irrelevant matter.
please, learn about what you are going to talk about first, then talk. dont talk with hearsay of right wing talking heads on tv, else, you come up like the moron who attempted to mail a puppy through usps and expect it to make the destination alive.
if i PAY for something, i expect to be able to USE it.
if you sell/rent a car to me, and then tell me that i can not use it on mondays, i shove the keys up your ass. if you drop a shady clause in the contract saying that you can modify the terms of the contract at any point at your leisure, then do the mondays thing after that, i still shove up the keys up your ass.
so at this point, i am at a loss to understand, how can american corporations violate the very BASE mechanics of trade and business, and get away with it.
first, microsoft with its funny defense ridden with dramatic-pause generating words, and then this...
"..... I may have attempted to launch an inquiry into this person because he had complained, but i am not trying to hush him up at all. These are not the complaints you looking for. Really. Believe me. Full stop. period, and, a number of other things. In addition, this person seems to be into fetish sex. Which is much more horrible than what im doing. over and out.... "
If, he hasnt used 'period' and 'full stop' and created enough dramatic pause, i wouldnt have believed him.
but now, i believe him, despite bing has been caught red handed, denied it without showing ANY proof, and then went on to accuse google of something totally irrelevant.
it doesnt matter whether there have been other brave journalist/investigators etc. at any given point in time even in hardest times, there are good people as such.,Br>
what matters is whether they have been able to get the job done in alerting masses of population to their story.
take noam chomsky. he had done a lot of activism had raised a lot of awareness. and ?
and ?
had he been able to alert 2-3 billion people all at the same time, to the wrongdoings of entire governments in one shot ? and had been able to do this by forcing the very mouthpieces and outlets of those governments and their corporate supporters ?
no.
this is what wikileaks has done. this is why, we regard it quite highly. we respect all people that spent effort for truth. however, effort is not success. apparently, something like wikileaks, has been what we needed.
btw, wikileaks is not books, activism, awareness raising. its outright exposing verifiable, from-the-source, filth.
then you should carry that blanket wrongness to the initial parent, in which he had counted various irrelevant disciplines that nobel was given out as if related to peace price.
however it is implied in the sentence still :
if you count 'scientist' as a classification while talking about peace price, and especially state it, it means that you are considering it as a classification. it is wrong. no scientist receives peace price due to their SCIENCE, so, mention of scientist status is totally irrelevant.
even in the case of norman borlaug - he didnt receive his peace price because of his SCIENCE work. he received it because his work, worthy of receiving a prize related to his field or not, helped increase the world food supply.
scientists, indeed, dont receive peace prices - they receive prizes in their respective field.
i'd rather not buy anything intel again. there has also been a time when they shipped defective batches in some q28345857something line of cpus too, for one of which one of my enthusiast friends paid approx $300 for a single cpu.
first, establish RELEVANCE in between what you are responding, and what you will say. because what i said and what your argument is are two totally different things :
spreading attempt to disseminate info on threats to freedom of speech, is not PRACTICING freedom of speech as in exposing scandals and PROVIDING information to people.
spreading attempts to diseminate info on threats to freedom of speech, is a honorable cause.
yet it is still NOT the same with actually disseminating INFORMATION that is wanted to be protected as such. the two are different.
with coarse analogy, if eff is a source that wants to protect pipes that distribute water to the city, wikileaks (and similar publishers) are the sources that provide the water. important, but separate.
there is nothing extremist and hyperbole in these remarks. there has been no scandal exposed in the level of watergate, since last 30 years. DESPITE internet, period. we are only having these again, due to wikileaks.
give caesar's to caesar. trying to be skeptic, offstandish, sarcastic, should not mean not giving respect where its due.
Pauling had been practically apolitical until World War II, but the aftermath of the war and his wife's pacifism changed his life profoundly, and he became a peace activist. During the beginning of the Manhattan Project, Robert Oppenheimer invited him to be in charge of the Chemistry division of the project, but he declined, not wanting to uproot his family. He did work on other projects that had military applications such as explosives, rocket propellants, an oxygen meter for submarines and patented an armor piercing shell and was awarded a Presidential Medal of Merit.[37][38] In 1946, he joined the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists, chaired by Albert Einstein.[39] Its mission was to warn the public of the dangers associated with the development of nuclear weapons. His political activism prompted the U.S. State Department to deny him a passport in 1952, when he was invited to speak at a scientific conference in London.[40][41] His passport was restored in 1954, shortly before the ceremony in Stockholm where he received his first Nobel Prize. Joining Einstein, Bertrand Russell and eight other leading scientists and intellectuals, he signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto in 1955.[42]
In 1958, Pauling joined a petition drive in cooperation with the founders of the St. Louis Citizen's Committee for Nuclear Information (CNI). This group, headed by Washington University professors Barry Commoner, Eric Reiss, M. W. Friedlander, and John Fowler, set up a study of radioactive strontium-90 in the baby teeth of children across North America. The "Baby Tooth Survey," headed by Dr. Louise Reiss, demonstrated conclusively in 1961 that above-ground nuclear testing posed significant public health risks in the form of radioactive fallout spread primarily via milk from cows that had ingested contaminated grass.[43][44][45] Pauling also participated in a public debate with the atomic physicist Edward Teller about the actual probability of fallout causing mutations.[46] In 1958, Pauling and his wife presented the United Nations with the petition signed by more than 11,000 scientists calling for an end to nuclear-weapon testing. Public pressure and the frightening results of the CNI research subsequently led to a moratorium on above-ground nuclear weapons testing, followed by the Partial Test Ban Treaty, signed in 1963 by John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev. On the day that the treaty went into force, the Nobel Prize Committee awarded Pauling the Nobel Peace Prize, describing him as "Linus Carl Pauling, who ever since 1946 has campaigned ceaselessly, not only against nuclear weapons tests, not only against the spread of these armaments, not only against their very use, but against all warfare as a means of solving international conflicts."[47] The Committee for Nuclear Information was never credited for its significant contribution to the test ban, nor was the ground-breaking research conducted by Dr. Reiss and the "Baby Tooth Survey". The Caltech Chemistry Department, wary of his political views, did not even formally congratulate him. They did throw him a small party, showing they were more appreciative and sympathetic toward his work on radiation mutation. At Caltech he founded Sigma Xi's (The Scientific Research Society) chapter at the school, as he had previously been a member of that organisation. He continued his peace activism in the following years co-founding the International League of Humanists in 1974. He was president of the scientific advisory board of the World Union for Protection of Life and also one of the signers of the Dubrovnik-Philadelphia Statement.
Many of Pauling's critics, including
it was given to barack obama, because instead of emphasizing divisions and accumulated (rightful) anger, he chose to express a road of peace, union and collaboration in between races, and managed to successfully bring black and white together during his election campaign.
it doesnt matter whether you like him or not, it doesnt matter what our political views are. this was what had happened.
As far as the last 30 years concerned, they are the ONLY source that has contributed to freedom of speech and the public knowing what their governments were doing. last major flop was during watergate, and both the governments and corporations learned how to deal with that - buy buying out all media into conglomerates. result ? no watergate in the last 30 years.
and no, cryptome, unfortunately, didnt mean shit.
first, they didnt have any success in bringing the issues to the masses into mass media - they never went into danger and publicity like wikileaks did, so it was easy for mainstream media to totally ignore them - just like how they totally kept public in the dark about acta, if you want an example -
