Censoring the internet?

Censoring the net does work. Of course there are ways to get around it but only for people who know stuff. The average person doesn’t even know that he/she is censored. Blacklisting domain names is serious shit. You’ll have to go with a static IP or if it’s dynamic, do more complicated stuff. And already 99% of the people don’t bother.

So, yeah, protect the Internet. It’s spreading knowledge every second.

fml, I had such high hopes for the internet

They’re bringing about their own doom. Finally. That’s the best part about manipulation, that whatever you strive for will eventually lead to the demise of it. Deception is self-destruction, and they even know it but they don’t care. This type of people always end up causing their own death.

People will not accept this. I know it. This is war.

@Ray The republicans, you say? The democrats are doing it just as much. And most political parties in other countries as well.

@Ray Errr… there was war during Clinton’s time, and there is war now under Obama.

And people wouldn’t vote for either party if they didn’t vote out of fear.

@Ray That wasn’t against the plan, it was according to the plan.

I just pointed the wars out because you said Nixon and the Bushes (rad band name?) were hardasses and Clinton and Obama being loving, caring people. It isn’t true.

Also, war IS fear.

@Ray speaking as an american who has paid attention to the past three election cycles (I was a bit young for Clinton), I think that we were just as scared about the economic recession on the tail end of W.’s second term as we were about war when any of the recent Republicans were elected. People were scared they were going to lose their homes, jobs, etc. and Obama, as a non-incumbent and a Democrat, offered them an alternative. Now, with the 2012 election coming up, many aren’t satisfied with Obama and are less likely to vote for him now, hence the Tea Party Movement, which can claim legitimacy because many of the same problems from 2008, while better, are not entirely fixed (as if they expect a recession to be cured overnight) and offer a radical alternative to the Democratic platform.
There is a lot more than just foreign policy that goes into an election result, and while war does tend to come with a Republican president, that is certianly not always the case. In fact, foreign policy is largely ignored by most candidates except for maybe a couple questions during the debates.

@Amarelias, Install Adblock Plus extension/add-on in your favorite browser and your ads will suddenly disappear ;) Whenever I am at someone else’s computer, I can’t believe how that person can surf the net with all the ads screaming at him. However, the video ads still persist. There needs to be a solution for this also.

Well, I agree with you Caitlan, that the situation of the world and it’s politics can not be summed up in a couple of paragraphs as I did, there is much more to it, many more factors that I have omited.
Manimal, you are right as I have suspected that both sides of government are under the thumb. It is just a given that any President, Democratic or Republican, are heavily influenced by the 1%, I just think there is a slight difference between the absolute control they have over the Republicans and the almost absolute control they have over the Democrats. Democrats have been known to defy the plan.
Regardless of all this crap, I do not believe in the occupy movement and I will tell you why. Sure I hate the 1% but they can wipe out half the worlds population in a temper tantrum and be better off for it. I think if we poke the bear with a stick it will wake and bite us in the ass.
I am talking about world war 3, or rather a global civil war and the victor is already decided, it’s just a matter of how many lambs go to the slaughter and the history will be written sympathetically toward the 1%, and even the term 1% will be forgotten.
I understand how much enlightenment you have, Manimal, and it is something I envy in you but anything short of divine intervention, alien interference or (as you have mentioned Manimal) global consciousness and complete oneness with the self and universe (and all 3 are possible) we are up shit creek.
