Censorship In America, It Is Here

While many of us have been watching this unfold for several years, it actually is being put into place.  The United States government is now under way to take a vote on one of the most crippling pieces of legislation to hit since the beginning of our government.

SOPA as it has commonly become known to many is now in place to become law.  So what is this all about?  It involves censoring your right to what you are able to view, upload and share across the Internet.  Sadly enough, it is not truly our government who is going to super impose this new piece of legislation but rather it is being fought over by such Internet giants such as Google who are already using SOPA like forms of censorship already.

While I certainly do not support those who willfully violate copyright infringements, what I do not support is the willful and outright violation of American liberties that are being stripped from us one at a time.

I am a web developer and have designed and started several hundred independent websites that have used images from a variety of sources.  What is everyone so uptight about?  Really, I would be flattered if someone decided that they wanted to utilize any of my images upon their websites to convey a specific message.  After all, wasn't that the initial purpose of the Internet was to be able to share a broad wealth of information around the world?

Truth be known, Google already censor the web.  If you are not sure about that or doubt that check with any website developer who has had their website taken down or blocked from having the metabots from indexing their sites because Google found them in violation of their TOS (terms of service).

Rather than raise such a fuss about who is linking to what, how about we just list the places we listed to obtain our information in a disclaimer in the form of a link.  If Google would truly divulge this information in its entirety they would have to explain that the more links that appear on a site that point to another site increases the primary sites rankings in their search engines.

From a strategic web development standpoint this could very well be extremely crippling to both the Internet industry and the hundreds of thousands of people who are employed in IT related industries that serve this modern form of communication we know as the Internet.

While Google certainly wanted everyone to sign a petition on their site that appeared yesterday, what they really did not reveal is the fact that this all controlling giant on the Internet wants to be able to control it all.  At present Google has acquired YouTube, Picassa, Picnik and many other large Internet based services.

Let's just imagine fora moment that the United States government is able to shut down the Internet for severely cripple it from what we know it to be now, there is the looming threat from the well known group Anonymous looming in the background just waiting to prove to the government what they truly are capable of.

Word has it that if the government goes ahead and dismantles the Internet that they are more than prepared to shut down the cellular networks.  If you think life without the Internet would be devastating to a large amount of people imagine just for a moment what the absence of cellular communications would be like.  Oh, by the way....did we fail to mention that the government utilizes cell phone communications for an extreme amount of confidential and mission critical information?  Let's all stand to make our voices heard and tell the government that in no way shall we stand by and watch the demise of one of the greatest tools know to mankind around the globe.  Click Here to make your voice heard and tell Congress what you think of the new pending censorship legislation.

One more thought on this highly sensitive topic....if you don't want the possibility of someone else using your information, images or materials being displayed on the Internet then maybe you should question as to whether or not you want to upload them to begin with.

Is Big Brother Watching You

It should come as no surprise that there is more and more government involvement into each of our lives.  Every day another one of our liberties are being stripped away from us.  Such items include freedom of speech, our right to bear arms and protect our families and our land.

Now the government is ramping the efforts up.  Now you can see TSA checkpoints on our Interstate system, the possibility of utilizing GPS navigation systems to monitor and track your every move and already utilizing social media tools such as FaceBook, Google and other items to listen in to what you are saying.  It has been proven that YouTube was ordered by the courts to remove all videos which may suggest that the government is trying to control you or take control of you.  Does any of this sound familiar?  It should because it was written in George Orwells 1984.

With the world looming on the brink of World War III, the government wants to ensure that they have totalitarian control on the people that reside within it.  A lot of people want to push this on the happenings of 911, however, the truth is that this has been going on way before that dreary day.  The one thing that has stayed consistent is the fact that the government continues to spread and grow the lies that they continue to spoon feed to each and every one of us.  I suppose the more important question is how much of it are you willing to accept and eat before you realize you are becoming a victim or what should be called New World Order.

There is no hiding that we have now entered into an era when "Big Brother" is watching or listening in to your every move.  Whether it be via social networking, cell phone technologies or through general Internet usage.  Each aspect is fully monitored by NSA and they have unlimited access to everything you say, view, listen to and communicate by above means.

While I fully realize that there are those out there who will continue to suggest that this is all make believe and that it does not exist and to those all I can do is offer my sympathy to their being blinded to what the truth truly is.

Long gone are the days of the Republic which we knew to be the United States of America.  It has now even been released that the United States is using false and made up Intel on Iran to substantiate a pre-emptive strike upon Iran.  Look do not mistake me, I firmly believe Iran is a real threat to many but is it truly our job to take action into affairs that do not directly relate nor affect us?

There certainly is no doubt in our minds here at "We talk, you talk" about where this is all headed to.  The image seen to the left best sums this up.  What bothers me the most is the hellish things that all freedom loving Americans will have to endure prior to it all coming to a close.

Where do you stand on this issue?  Have we seen the beginning of the end or do you think we are running full steam ahead for what is sure to be the end of all ends?  Regardless of when it happens there is one thing that is more than certain and that is the fact that it is going to happen.  I was so hoping that I would not have been alive to watch this unfold before my eyes nor those of my children.  The very sad part is that it is!  How do we begin to explain this to them and how do we explain to them what they done to deserve this or why they should even feel that way!  Yes, I know we all have heard a variety of stories growing up that foretold of such events many of which were derived from the Bible itself.  What truly concerns me is how very little people seem to pay any attention or give credit to that as being what has been foretold and spoken of and choose to credit other entities for the forthcoming of the events that are unfolding before our very eyes.  To those who are still in disbelief all I can do is offer my prayers to you.

Some say that only the prophets were able to see this coming.  All I am asking of each of you is to watch the coming events with an open eye and even more importantly is an open heart!  Your very existence may very well depend upon it.  What you do now in preparation could very well determine the outcome of yours and your family's life.

You can choose to be proactive or have to be reactive later on when there may not be any available options to you.  You can plan now or bear the fruits of not taking notice and heed from someone who has seen the hellish disorder from the people who want to align us with the New World Order.  The choice is yours and the choice is simple.  You decide how you will stand or fall!
