here's the thing: do The They (tm) need to even bother 'threatening' ESPECIALLY someone who is an insider ? ? ?
...or do they just anonymously mention, 'heh, remember that judge so-and-so who was found with kiddie porn on their 'puter ? No? Me neither, but I bet they were innocent, too. Have a nice day!'
parasitizing off your post to point to a related story: in lost wages, the piggies (in the form of the feebs) thought it would be really neat constitution-defying trick to mess with the internet connection of some high-rollers they suspected of avoiding paying the gummints gambling cut, THEN they would swoop in as fake techies to 'fix' their intertubes...
only thing was, a butler for these high-roller suites told them to fuck off... so, instead of just 'flickering' their internet service, the feebs shut it down completely, then waited for the howling to start before they sent in their fake techies...
oh, then -quelle surprise, mon dieu, sacre bleu!- they lied to the judge in order to get all this otherwise inadmissible stuff admitted...
you and me ? not allowed to lie to anyone anywhere without risking a multi-year jail sentence ? piggies ? lying is their stock in trade...
dem'rats, rethugs, two faces of the same korporate money party... if you think saint obama and the dem'rats REALLY WANT to have that report come out, you are smoking much better shit than i am to be so purblind...
he/they have been running cover for ALL previous war krimes etc, since day one: 'look forward...' blah blah blah...
sorry, The System (tm) is borked, and until it is rebooted to destroy the korporate money party stranglehold on both status quo parties, NOTHING WILL CHANGE... oh, wait, it *will* change: to the most 1984 state we can be ! ! ! change you can bewieve in, dem'rat koolaid drinkers ! ! !
1. there is a reason we don't (generally and wisely) base laws on the opinion of one wronged person... i don't have much confidence you are capable of figuring that out on your own, nor understand the importance of it even when explained to you... 2. from the tone and tenor of your posts, it appears you are an authoritarian... i HATE authoritarians: they are enablers of the psychopaths we have running our institutions... 3. regardless, in this regard, urine idjit...
Re: Re: Re: Would we not be better off if politics were a DMCA-free zone?
good insight, a non cow, and relates directly to wallow-t's excellent point above: individuals -as 'formal' news bloggers, or simply as informed and active citizens- can NOT 'afford' (on many levels) to defend their rights, EVEN IF 100% in the right... as you mention, i bet 90%+ of people who get notices or have stuff taken down 'wrongly', simply can not devote the time, money, etc to fight even those takedowns which are 100% violations, so they simply take the only route left: take it down themselves...
hmmm, this is a real conflict between ALL of our rights, and the rights of an EXTREMELY small minority of copyright abusers... (that's right, the HOLDERS of the copyright are using it to abuse, NOT those who use the copyrighted material...)
EXCELLENT point, thank you for making it; there are probably other issues along these lines that i had not considered in our (not-so) brave new world of bloggers...
but that is a big deal... i wonder if an association of political/news bloggers could form a union of sorts, such that as an aggregate they could retain high-power lawyers for members of the association to draw upon when threatened like this...
but the CDC has conceded it can be spread with a cough-like aerosol in about a 3' range... but sneezes go about 20', so better stay at least 25' away from everyone...
oh, except some euro-boffins (as el reg is wont to headline) have determined approx 13% of those infected can be asymptomatic, yet still be carriers and infectious...
and did i mention they find the cold/drier conditions of winter allow it to survive about 50 days in the wild ? ? ?
*AND* just had personal experience with the banksters who are giving you the stinkeye about CHECKS over 10000, which is *SUPPOSED* to be totally ILLEGAL (to hassle you over non-cash), but they do it anyway because they are scumbag banksters who have gotten away WITH -literally- EVERYTHING... dog damn i hates me some banksters...
but it is OLD news that the gehlen network of spies were rolled up into unka sammie's spies... also, they were used for the operation gladio type stuff... WHICH by itself is one huge steaming pile of eee-vil...
shit, we are 'protecting' NUMEROUS old spooks and such who are KNOWN terrorists/murderers for stuff that has happened MUCH later than that stuff... the cuban who blew up cuban planes, sabotaged their shit, etc, is given complete immunity... the tables turned, WE would be screaming bloody murder, but since they are *OUR* terrorists, they are -you know- *good* terrorists...
because ANY terrorism in furtherance of Empire is *good* terrorism...
well, um, no, 'cause this is the one and only time that ever happened, and we caught him, so The System works ! ! ! it won't happen again, i promise...
ahhh, my dear kamper, that is totally beside the point... we are in the kafka-zone, and the point is to make EVERYONE vulnerable to being jacked up by Empire's thugs... it does that very well...
*cha-ching* victory number 3879452937734512588 in a row for Empire ! ! ! how *do* they do it ! ! !
to paraphrase a quote from kennedy, one which is not repeated that often by the tutors of Empire: when you make peaceful dissent impossible, you make violent revolution inevitable...
DESPITE violent crimes and police murders at an all time low, the police HAVE BEEN militarized and mobilized AGAINST the citizenry (well, 1% of actual human beans, and nearly 100% of korporate personhoods are immune to police riots)...
they shoot our dogs, they ransack at will, they steal our money, they lie, extort, fabricate, and conspire ALL THE FUCKING TIME, and NOT ONE OF THEM will dare to 'do the right thing' and testify against the thin blue line of liars... NOT ONE... and hardly any get called on -MUCH LESS prosecuted- for their MURDERS, no matter you have the fucking video or not... no, they know *exactly* why these types of 'random' incidents happen, and know they are only getting more frequent and more violent: what do a LOT of people have to lose ? ? ? the velvet glove is off, fear the iron fist of Empire...
i'm not sure you are catching on to the ways of Empire, citizen... 1. the rules will change or be made up to suit *THEIR* purposes, not yours... 2. there are plenty of 'catch-all' regulations which essentially give them power to do what they want... 3. there are almost certainly various laws which forbid such actions because you are then interfering with their sacred mission, blah blah blah... 4. you don't get it: MERE mockery of them constitutes a sort of terrorist enabling, and they will jack you up and make your life miserable, as only the feds can...
you aren't going to outwit them, or pull some funny business to make them look like fools: they will simply tase or shoot you into submission...
Re: Now we have a way to legally remove Government officials
thank you, exactly what i wanted to say...
illegal wars, secret prisons, secret laws, and all the rest of the 1984 package he screamed bloody murder for, but *snowden* is the cause of amerika's problems ? ? ? fuck him...
no, how about the STUPID, SHITTY decisions, scaremongering, ILLEGAL wars, UNCONSTITUTIONAL spooking up of our country, that HE and the rest of the *REAL* TRAITORS have perpetrated upon the planet; THAT is approx a zillion times more responsible for this sad state of affairs we find ourselves in, rather than the TRUE PATRIOTISM of the snowdens, mannings, kiriakous, etc...
i'd like to throw a necktie party for that loudmouthed jerk, a REAL TRAITOR to the constitution; UNLIKE those who braved a corrupted, immoral gummint to *try* and inform us sheeple what is really up with their eee-vil machinations, he does NOTHING to defend the constitution...
a *REAL* murderer, a *REAL* traitor, and a *REAL* scumbag, ignorant sack of shit, and *HE* dares to call for the arrest of those few patriots who push back against the likes of complicit scum like him ? ? ? fuck him sideways with a pineapple...
you know what gets me about this faux outrage ? ? ?
this is ALL about made-up, pwetend, bullshit 'horror' and 'terror' and -*gasp*- humiliation...
by the SAME cohort of pols, moral scolds, and hypocritical asswipes who are ACTUALLY ILLEGALLY MURDERING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS of (mostly) brown-ish, (mostly) moose limb-ish, (mostly) third world poor people the planet over...
but perpetrating WAR KRIMES against the world is nothing to lose sleep over; but a 10 year old snarking online ? ? ? Z. O. M. G. the end of western civilization ! ! !
THAT is why i despise these false cries of havoc: making the most of inconsequential motes, while they carry around MANY WAR KRIME beams in their eyes...
they disgust me, can i have them sent to jail for at least two years ? ? ?
actually, there have been a HUGE spate of such shows, none of them i watch, but you can't miss the commercials... that series monk, house is another example, big bang theory is too, and any of a half dozen other 'detective'/mystery dramas where there is a sherlock holmes type guy with endearing eccentric behavior that passes for some sort of aspie, etc... a LOT of such shows... whether you 'like' scorpion for whatever reasons, is BESIDES THE POINT with the exposure of obrien as a scam artiste...
exactly... *unless* you are a spook who is justifiably paranoid, *WHO* would think they are a victim of a stingray intercept when just regular cell phone usage can have all sorts of problematic issues that would be silly to jump to the conclusion of 'oh, i must be being stingray'ed'... no, there are quite enough 'natural' dropped calls, crappy reception, interference, etc, that any REAL spying with stingrays/etc would be lost in the -literal- noise...
