i get your point, but technically speaking -as others have tried to say as well- 'anarchy' does NOT mean 'chaos' and 'terrorism' as mainstream pukes would have you believe...
but words have no meaning anymore, it is ONLY what Empire *says* a word means that has any impact...
how terrifying to see this slow-motion train wreck of fascism unfolding before our eyes; 1984's every prediction coming to pass as we look on in dumbstruck horror: newspeak, doublethink, permanent war on faceless enemies, etc, etc, etc...
amerika as shining beacon on the hill ? ? ?
more like sauron's all-seeing eye searching to destroy us all...
i contend it is THE GUMMINT and its leaders who betrayed the constitution and the amerikan people WA-A-A-A-Y before Bradley Manning called them out for THEIR betrayal...
HE WAS THE ONE LOYAL TO HIS OATH AND ACTING TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION, not those scumbag, traitorous, posturing, lying, hypocritical, human-shaped piles of shit we call our 'leaders'...
Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, Barrett Brown, John Kiriakou, etc, etc, etc, ARE ALL WELCOME at my house; i would be HONORED to have them as guests...
kongresskritters, etc ? ? ?
they better not get within spitting distance of me...
(and when i say 'spitting', i mean as in 'roasted on a spit'...)
sacco and vanzetti (sp?) were essentially persecuted because the were anarchists...
the unconstitutional palmer raids (how anslinger and hoover made their bones)
etc, etc, etc...
you know what drives a lot of this shit ? ? ?
social expectations of their tribe...
(hint: if you are a judge/etc, WE 99% are NOT part of THEIR tribe; we are 'the others', the barbarians at the gate...)
and this works at all levels of society, i recently had the dubious honor of corresponding for a couple back and forths with the editor?/manager? of a fairly well known news aggregator (sp?) website, that is definitely of the progressive side of the great divide...
it was IMPOSSIBLE to make her understand that censorship is a bad thing; she thinks of it as a 'good thing' because it stops 'yucky' speech...
she refused to see that -a la my boy noam chomsky- you HAVE TO allow ALL speech if you are a free speech advocate, otherwise you are not for free speech...
in pondering that sad state, it occurred to me that she and her buds have latched onto the (idiotic) concept of 'hate speech' as being one of the ultimate sins against society (it isn't), and that ANYTHING / EVERYTHING which eliminates 'hate speech' is -by definition- a 'good thing'...
skipping totally over whether there are actual -you know- principles involved, or that the ends does NOT justify the means, she was fixated on eliminating 'hate speech' to the detriment of society, and all our rights...
she has ZERO self-awareness that this AUTHORITARIAN impulse IS EXACTLY what drives the fascist decision-making process of our kongresskritters, et al...
in other words: its okay if *i'm* an authoritarian, 'cause i'm a 'good' authoritarian oppressing you for 'good'reasons, using 'good' means to repress you for a 'good' end...
she was clueless, and was going to remain that way; because that is how her little circle-jerk 'thought' (sic), and i know she damn sure didn't want to alienate her friends by going against the grain, NO MATTER HOW CORRECT AND JUST that oppositional stance was...
human nature...
yet another reason i like dogs more than people...
(besides, people you don't know generally don't like you to scratch behind their ears...)
the the greenies get to see 9+ years of all the digital data from chevron, inc worldwide, plus their personal email accounts, plus all their relatives and associates email, plus, plus, plus...
right ?
richtig ? ? ?
oh, you mean that is more of that 'diode justice' ?
only works one way ? ? ?
thought so...
a brave PUBLIC SERVANT named Frederic Whitehurst blew the whistle on these kreepazoids some years back...
they are scum, with a smattering of idiotic boy scouts who don't know shit about shit, a *bunch* of fools and tools, and a few psychotics to do the dirty work...
the feebs are nothing but goons for the state-run dis-organized crime units...
"Yes but my point is that it's clearly been obvious that "in the name of freedom" has largely meant "in the name of our security""
actually, i'm sure you know it goes a step beyond that: we're fighting over there, so the 1% can make obscene profits over here...
really and truly, this has little/nothing to do with 'security' per se, but EVERYTHING to do with protecting the 'right' of 'our' (actually, NOBODY'S) transnational korporations to generate profits unchallenged by gummints or peoples...
yeah, there are a few twue bewievers who do this crap out of a misplaced, misguided 'patriotism', but most are simply fools and tools being led by the nose to peddle this crapola, and not a small percentage who are simply con men and sociopaths taking advantage of the 'security' gravy train...
they are protecting the 'security' of the korporadoes, NOT US 99%...
1. there are *already* laws like this, how are they working out ? ? ?
2. again, as a matter of principle: FREEDOM means you are free to do stupid shit, otherwise, you are not really free, are you...
3. i think the idea is pointless, but -as the post mentioned- i'm sure this company will get LOTS of brown-nosing points among the powers that be...
4. i am equally certain there are a *BUNCH* of ways to easily circumvent this: maybe print two pieces joined that are unrecognizable as a generic gun part, but after printing you separate them at a certain point, and you have two gun parts, etc...
useless game of whack-a-mole to make poopy-pants *feel* like they are doing 'something'...
like another poster pointed out: The They (tm) will NOT stop until they outlaw ANY/ALL technology that we 99% can use to oppose The State, including general computing machines...
why they can be used to write ANYTHING you want, even *gasp* stuff critical of The State ! ! ! how dangerous can you get ! ! !
oh, wait a minute, PENCILS AND PAPER ! ! !
(marlon brando voice)
the horror, the horror...
(rubs sweat on bald head)
true that...
from what i recall, he was lobbying pretty hard for a command, but was passed over for someone less competent/deserving, got pissed, and *then* went to the brits...
except:
1. can't that excuse be used for any/ALL requests: that *someone* somewhere might be harassed/threatened by *anyone* for *anything* ? ? ?
thus, enabling the powers-that-be to gut the FOIA...
2. no, i DO NOT give them the benefit of the doubt; did they give Aaron the benefit of the doubt ? no, fuck'em...
3. i have little-to-zero-doubt this is the usual 'reason' for gummint secrecy in general, and FOIA requests in particular: someone with power/influence was going to be embarrassed (and probably rightfully so)...
um, have to disagree somewhat:
1. live in a rural area where have more horses and cows as neighbors than people...
2. had g'friend i lived with for a number of years who had hayburners... my friends down the road have a bunch...
3. i'm not saying horses are dumb (although a lot of horse owners might), but they are not pigs (or even dogs)...
4. horses number one defense mechanism is to RUN AWAY (while they can kick the shit out of you, *and* pick you up with their mouths and throw you like a rag doll, running away is their main defense mechanism)
5. in furtherance of that defense mechanism, horses ARE spooky... i don't care how well trained they are, how well they have become acclimated to gun shots, etc (some don't, by the way, just like dogs, they can be gun-shy), their defense mechanism kicks in when they are confronted by unknown situations: a snake/rattler, smoke/fire, a car backfire, or even the wind blowing a plastic bag against a fence a half mile away can send them rocketing away without any warning...
also, do NOT turn your back on any horse you don't know (and even if you do), some are very mischievious (sp?), and they WILL nip you out of curiousity, spite, fun, or simply boredom...

no?
didn't think so...
*some* brave souls (Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, etc) LITERALLY put their lives on the line, not just talk trash...
