Our Internet at Stake

Yes, that's right, folks. In the past, Net Neutrality has been the cause of major concern. Internet Service Providers and lobby groups have vested interest in profiting from our internet usage.

Happen to go over what they deem "too much internet"? Well, pay attention, your penalties are in the mail.

Research the issue online and sign the petitions below to stop Net Neutrality:

Subpeona

Wake up.

As an individual, if you have trouble believing in a world where your privacy is compromised for internal investigations (criminal or not), then clearly you know very little about the 21st century in which you live. Have you deleted all your recent Facebook messages? How much of "you" is floating around out there online? What about emails and recurring passwords? Banking info, mailing addresses and more....

BE AWARE: all of this, all of you is haphazardly pouring itself out into the internet and much of it -- if not, all of it -- is not necessarily safe in the hands of law and governance.

Government subpoenas

Abuse of power towards Wikileaks, Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and the recent subpeona issued to Twitter are only but a few concrete examples of this. Learn our lesson.

Calgary, take note....

Dear Indie kids,
Dear dudes with beards,
Dear scenesters in plaid,
Dear metal heads, hardcore kids and punk rockers,

What's "scene" isn't scene.

You're just another individual who likes the same shit as everybody else.

Corporate Cave-ins

Welcome to dystopia, folks.

Due to unjustified threats delivered by US Administration, many financial aid and multiple host sites have now pulled their services out from under WikiLeaks' just cause. Although the US claims the recent leaks to be illegal, there has yet to be one cable proven to threaten their national security. Corporations such as Visa, Amazon, Paypal and Mastercard are many of the misinformed. See link below for a timeline published by the Guardian (UK).

No Love, No Care

When asked in November about the number of elephants claimed by freight trains this past 2010 year, Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh said the government of Assam has recorded a total of only four deaths.

This comes after 7 elephants were killed in September 2010 alone where two baby elephants strayed onto the tracks as five elders followed behind in hopes of guiding them to safety (see photo above).

How many incidents such as these are organizations and/or governments failing to report? And why are the number of deaths being underreported?

On whether any speed limit would be fixed on the movement of trains along the elephant corridor, Mr. Ramesh said it was not possible to implement speed limits in the entire 160 km stretch of railway tract from Siliguri to Alipurduar. However, the Ministry of Railways have introduced a speed limit of 50 km per hour in two vulnerable sections falling in Mahananda and Chapramari wildlife sactuaries.

WORLD HISTORY

THIS IS SO SIGNIFICANT, IT WILL FOREVER BE A PART OF WORLD HISTORY.

Secret US Embassy Cables Leaked
The following documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.

The cables, which date from 1966 up until the end of February this year, contain confidential communications between 274 embassies in countries throughout the world and the State Department in Washington DC. 15,652 of the cables are classified Secret.

The cables show the extent of US spying on its allies and the UN; turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuse in "client states"; backroom deals with supposedly neutral countries; lobbying for US corporations; and the measures US diplomats take to advance those who have access to them.

Infringement of Free Speech?

The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA):

In the United States, a new law proposal called The Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) was introduced this past September. If passed, this law will allow the American government, under the influence of corporate media, to censor the internet as they see fit. Similar to China and Iran, this will be a powerful tool used to censor information and keep the general public blind to websites such as WikiLeaks and other sources of information.

Quickly, we must get informed and begin to question why it is politicians are making decisions such as these without public consent. Google it.
