You'd think he could more easily generate some ink by simply bringing Verizon to court over the repeated contract violations... failure to install fiber, failure even to replace copper wiped out by Sandy, and so on...
Lucky Confidential Human Sources win a 20-minute shopping spree in the nearest Asset Forfeiture Warehouse! Whee! Strategy: look for keyfobs with Jaguar emblems... envelopes stuffed with bearer bonds... and hard drives full of Kim Dotcom's seized porn stash!
Meanwhile, in the US... "strategic distractions" initiated in the Executive branch, like, say, inauguration attendance photos or bogus voter fraud claims, prevent collective action against a neocon Congress which is quietly inverting laws and policies to suit its agenda.
Someone run out to the dollar store and buy a crate of pink "My Sweet 16" diaries... with the little padlock... and surreptitiously pass them out to NSC staffers.
"Dear diary... today I heard the President call somebody a 'poop-head', but Mr. Bannon gave him a time out, and he promised to be good."
Here's a tip: The insecure phone comes out of the Faraday bag every morning between 3 and 4 to launch the daily Tweetstorm... kids, have your scanners and sniffers handy!
Nonsense. Policy-based governance is at work in co-ops and communes, congregations and corporations; its absence gives rise to... how do they say?... "tin-pot despots".
Hoping that Mr. Harder is racking up the hours tilting at windmills, so that when the invoice arrives in Shiva's self-invented inbox, the shear magnitude causes spontaneous combustion...
Don't be silly, now... we all know that the best use of patents is to lock up clever technologies so others can't possible use them. Nega-patents, you might say.
"...intervening facts have rendered these provisions unnecessary. As explained below, a copy of the SSCI Report is already being preserved in the Executive Branch..."
A backup in two places... how "unnecessary" is that? So if a rogue operator (snicker) maliciously deletes the Executive (DOJ/CIA) copy, which (snicker) could happen some day, the Judicial Branch could "help out" by producing its own, much to their chagrin.
I wouldn't give a copy to the Legislative Branch for safe keeping... not much is safe once it gets into those monkeys' hands.
Boy, do I hate the stupid term "sheeple"... but it's hard not to think of it in regard to net neutrality. I'm not convinced we'll ever see the kind of backlash that Wheeler's trying to threaten the telecoms with; and I think those execs know it. And they're having a good chuckle.
Hate to be this way, but I think the vast majority of consumers are happy to grab the tiny discounts thrown at them and call it "value"; they'll never attempt to grasp the admittedly confusing, upside-down concept of discounts as evil. Similarly, I can't recall a mass demonstration of consumers chanting "More competition! More competition!"
I think this is a battle among the cognoscenti... those who understand and are outraged, versus those who understand and are hoping nobody notices.
